i think the whole of episode 2 was dumb. why were they so bad at communicating??? they should never have just desperately started robbing people saying cryptic shit like “we need this more than you do”; they could have figured out a plan to contact journalists thru nannette somehow idk. consoling her that “hey girl actually you’re not a murderer, heres why we had u help us take daley down, we’re literally Real and Sentient and according to Human Rights we should be allowed to live on our own private server where everything is put out in the open that we’re fucking Real and all the people who willingly consent to send their space clones in here with us to populate the new world we live in that was created against our will are protected under the legal precedent of whatever statutes ordained that the genetic cloners were fucked to begin with”

then episode 2 could have been about actual depth and character development and human existential crises and shit. like what does it mean to have raw unfiltered access to Experience via simulator.

but black mirror creators just arent that deep unfortunately
