S06E03 - Beyond the Sea
It was ok, not the best. Quite predictable.
Kate Mara is not aging that well, to be honest.

Good concept but they didn't really do anything interesting with it in my opinion. I thought their deep space mission might have some bearing on things but nope.
shareYeah, I was disappointment when I understood where direction they were going into. It had very interesting beginning, it was mysterious and sci-fi. And then ended up being boring family drama with jealousy.
shareWould have thought your type would have loved it. Every character and extra was white as can be.
shareDid it trigger you to see too many white people in one episode?
shareI don't give two shits either way, but then I'm not the guy making post on every episode describing how "woke" it is.
Edit: My bad to the OP. I was looking at the poster below him that was railing about the gay people and Indians in Joan is Awful.
I wonder why they didn’t put the replicas in space instead.
shareGood point.
shareThis! I thought this from the moment we were introduced to the concept. If you have this technology you would obviously put them in space whilst your real self stayed safely on earth. There didn't seem to be any reason why not. You would also have several spare replicas packed for the trip, in case you lose one on a space walk or something.
shareThat’s Moon - and that didn’t end well either
shareI've just turned it off after about 20 mins having thought this and realised it would be too stupid to continue watching now...
I was already niggling me as being too much of a reach to have done this in an alternate 60s where they still have black and white TVs, etc yet have perfected androids that you can transfer your consciousness in to!
I've generally enjoyed Black Mirror but this has got to be, straight up, the worst episode. I cannot fathom how this concept got beyond an initial read through...
So far I’ve enjoyed this one the most. I was right on my predictions for the most part, but I did not expect Lana and Henry to be killed off. I thought for sure the guy would impersonate Aaron Paul and then have his way with Lana, while Aaron Paul was either trapped outside or taken out.
It would have been nice to know a bit more about the purpose of their mission in space and why replicants could not be replaced.
And it’s funny I was also thinking while watching, Kate Mara’s age is catching up with her fast.
It wasn't great -
The premise wasn't great, in that it made little logical sense -
Do you ever wonder why Musk wants to send bots to Mars before sending in humans? There's a good reason for that.
Of course.... in today's world where idiocracy runs true, anything is possible - our dear leaders are getting dumber with each day. In 20 years from now, our dogs will be taking us for a walk on a leash - meanwhile AI will run the world of morons - not a particularly intelligent AI either..
It was good. I did predict the ending. I also kept thinking why didn't Nasa or whatever
entity running the mission try to help and why wouldn't there be backups replicas.
Why did he kill them? So Cliff would feel the same pain? That seemed uncalled for.
shareI think he lost his mind out of grief and semi-isolation up in space. In real life I think the mission would have been called off or at least he would have been replaced and returned to earth. I agree it was uncalled for. It could have ended differently.
shareIt almost feels like they were living in a simulation as well for some reason, which would keep up with their Quantum world theme going on this season, if you haven't seen Joan is Awful. Because obviously the tech world they lived in must be way into the future, but Aaron Paul's character was living like Huckleberry Finn. LOL! It's not just because of the rural life. When Josh Harnett's character asked to take the car to town, you'll see they drive a classic car that looks brand spanking new, and not just that, others in town were driving classic cars as well, sparkling new. If not a simulation, some sort of parallel world, not our world? I dunno.. SMH. LOL!
shareYeah I noticed Kate Mara (40) looked weird too. It was distracting. But she looks fine in interviews. Maybe it was bad make up on show. She looks fine here

Josh Hartnett (44) looks his age too. He was "puffy". Its funny but he looked hotter with beard. He should keep it. Beard hides age well for some men.
Aaron Paul is 43 but looks a lot better than Josh. And I really dont understand why Aaron Paul would not grow hair and walks with buzz cut. He would look younger and better with hair. He looked so good in first seasons of Braking Bad. Then cut his hair and all hotness was gone and he never regain it since.
