USS Callister ("stealing my pussy is a fucking red line" is my favourite quote of the series and Nanette works fantastically as the protagonist. I went into it expecting more-or-less a straightforward Star Trek homage, which didn't interest me much, but by the end I absolutely loved it)
Hang the DJ (the noise that Lenny makes after... ahem, tending to Amy's nether regions is my second favourite quote of the series. Just a cute episode, and I liked how the 99.8% thing was all tied up at the end)
Crocodile (I really, really enjoyed this episode for all its bleakness, up until where she kills Shazia, where it just becomes torture porn [killing the blind baby was waaaay too far], and I felt like the ending itself could have been a lot stronger. But as I said, I thought most of the episode was great, and I liked the whole researching-into-a-collision-with-a-pizza-van-for-insurance-purposes-turns-into-accidental-discovery-of-a-murderer type thing)
Black Museum (Jack's new girlfriend pinning a toy monkey up against the wall and repeatedly swearing at it was joyous [though probably not for the toy monkey, I'm guessing] and I thought the last ten minutes or so were brilliant, if not slightly on-the-nose in its attempt to be woke. However, I hated the first story, and I'm really not sure why they decided to copy the structure of White bloody Christmas of all episodes)
Metalhead (I get what they were going for here and I do think that they did it well, but post-apocalyptic horror just isn't really my cup of tea, and I ended up wishing that the dog had caught her a lot sooner to get the whole thing over and done with)
Arkangel (meh. None of the characters were likeable, the story was bland and predictable, and I was left with a sense of apathy at the end rather than catharsis. Also, Rosemarie Dewitt didn't age a single day and that really freaks me out)

Spoiler:

Yeah, Crocodile went by pretty fast and I wasn't expecting it to end so abruptly. I disagree with it just being "torture porn" though... I thought that the concept of harvesting memories added quite a bit of depth to the woman's killings and helped to make it more believable. As horrific as the ending was, I thought the irony of it was quite clever (she didn't have to kill the baby because it was blind, but in doing so she ended up getting grassed up by a Guinea Pig)

Spoiler:

Yeah, I suppose her actions are given too much logic (well, maybe not logic, but there's definitely a clear progression in Mia's desperation) to be written of as torture porn. I still feel as though the last ten minutes or so were meant mainly to shock a la Shut Up and Dance, and I don't think that's the kind of ending that the story leading up to it deserved. Sure, we need to see in some way how her desperation to avoid being caught has gotten out of control and how she's painted herself into a corner, but "she brutally kills everyone who comes in her way" feels a bit gratuitous, especially the baby/guinea pig scene

I watched Black Museum just because I liked the name still got three more to watch, I enjoyed it but at the same time it felt a little bit like a cop out?

Spoiler:

the first two stories could have easily been their own episodes, albeit more fleshed out and such, putting them in with the main plot of the convict being her dad made it feel a bit like a treehouse of horror episode? Idk I liked it but I think they could have just made a whole episode about him being the killer/not being the killer and then the outcome of it

omg ALSO something that annoyed me, when they start showing the pieces in the museum and you realise everything is all connected, I started wondering if any of the other pieces were linked from the episodes I hadn’t seen, and I was wondering about it so much I missed the start of his story I don’t like that they’re all connected now either, it would have been a lot better to keep them apart

Spoiler:

It essentially followed the exact same, oddly specific structure as White Christmas (a frame story comprised of three sub-stories: the first sub-story, in which the narrator "helps" another character with technology which ends up causing them irreversible damage, doing little other than to establish the narrator as slightly dodgy; the second sub-story in which the narrator uses cookies to effectively wear a person down until they submit... technology which returns in the episode's climax to punish one of the characters in the frame story; and the third sub-story in which the focus shifts, either to the person the narrator is telling the story to [as in White Christmas] or to a different location [the hospital to the prison in Black Museum], leading to the resolution in which at least one of the two characters we've been following throughout gets their comeuppance, usually using the technology seen in the third sub-story)

tl;dr: I have no idea why they followed this structure again, but White Christmas did it better

Yeah I couldn't find that other thread so I just posted in this one.

[Smithy]

ALSO dezzy you could have just merged the threads

I feel like the Arkangel plot could've been so much more.

A nice story of its own but with the concept it could've been quite epic with how the implant affected a young child growing up.

Imagine Scott's mum with that device? Just a shot of someone's belly button zooming in and out.

Yeah, at first I thought it was going to be

Spoiler:

because she hadn’t been exposed to any kind of violence it didn’t matter to her anyway and she was gonna end up hurting herself/other people and not feel anything, or something along those lines anyway

Yeah

Spoiler:

as it was nearing the end I thought it would've been better had they gone down the route of her being desensitized to violence and then she started smashing her mum's head in and I was like.. . Oh.

She should've killed her to make it more depressing.

Yeah, the policeman at the end said something along the lines of "I don't know why she had to kill the baby... poor thing was blind"
