There's a Black Mirror episode about that!

[-] catharso@discuss.tchncs.de 86 points 7 months ago

There's a Deep Space 9 episode about that!

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 55 points 7 months ago

Which was never brought up again. Poor O’Brien

Hey, Keiko has a name you know.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

We just saw the episode where the wraith took over Kinko's body and threatened to kill her if O'Brien didn't reconfigure the comm relays. I thought, "Here's your way out, Miles!"

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 7 months ago

It's why he sabotaged the plan though (OK, I don't remember the episode anymore...)

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I am in S05 of DS9 (first watch) and saw this one recently in S04. We really enjoyed it.

Do they ever bring up that O'Brien isn't the original O'Brien they knew, but rather the future O'Brien that swapped places? ... I didn't think so.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

Nope.

I’m glad that O’Brien got so much focus on DS9 after being a side character on TNG, but man did they ever fuck with him.

But then if they did acknowledge all the shit the writers put him through they would have one seriously messed up officer who should probably be discharged.

We have to assume that 24th century mental health services are much better than either Troi or Ezri makes it appear.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Hahaha well with those two as our sample it’s going to take a lot of rigging to suspend my disbelief.

[-] quinkin@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I'm in the same season in my first watch too. Having a blast.

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

There's an episode of Torchwood about that!

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 22 points 7 months ago

That Black Mirror episode still affects me to this day shudder

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago

I had to give up on The Black Mirror after that episode where they have to exercise to earn credits and are forced to watch advertising. Then that girl thought she could make it out by singing but had to do porn instead. Couldn't watch anymore after that.

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

That episode got darker after the porn part.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

Oh yeah, I finished the episode. I couldn't do the rest of the show after that.

[-] Bizarroland@kbin.social 6 points 7 months ago

I mean wasn't season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn't enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Ya, I watched that one too and thought it was funny. Then for some reason the workout thing really got to me hard too. I was working at a bank as a manager that was literally scamming people out of their money/ homes and hated my life. Living in a shoebox and barely able to afford my apartment. I hated my life. It really hit me hard.

[-] clickyello@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

ah yes s1e2. you almost gave it a shot

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Was it really episode 2? I guess I watched it a bit more than that, because I can remember a few more episodes. But many though, maybe another 2 or 3.

[-] Thief_of_Crows@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

FWIW, I think that episode is one of the weakest early season episodes. It's somehow both too explicit and not explicit enough, because their world doesn't make any sense beyond simply "capitalism". The rest are a lot more in the realm of existential horror and questioning the morality of things. Black mirror just isn't a good medium for an explanation of why capitalism is evil.

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago

also star trek: deep space nine.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

And Outer Limits 1995 iirc

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Also a Carey Elwes documentary about assholes with six fingers

[-] Thief_of_Crows@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

2 I think, though I don't remember the other one that's not White Christmas.
