What could you do in San Junipero? *spoilers*
I missed the bit about the cigarettes tasting of nothing (though did notice that if it was supposed to be 1987, hardly anyone was smoking - I was going to clubs like this when i was this age, the gothy one too) - so why would you smoke? Does it follow you can't get drunk? You can enjoy sex it seems. The fight at Quagmire and what Kelly said suggested it was hard to feel pain. Can you drown? Can you go on a crime spree? Can you keep killing yourself and respawn like GTA?
I've never believed in a religious heaven. but have long thought an artificial one could be possible, created by humans or even aliens. I think this episode, although it was a bit overlong, will at least make people think when they die they might end up in a San Junipero type place, even if there is no God. I'll take the mid-80s simulation having sex with hot women that look like Purple Rain era Prince, at least for a while.
