Dels 09/05/23 1:28:49 AM #16:	i thought the meta aspect was brilliant - the viewer goes through the same journey as the characters, starting from "what? this is weird, why would i want to watch this" to "wait are they actually going to do it? will i turn my eyes away if they do or do i actually want to see it???" it holds up an actual mirror to the viewer, which the show basically stops doing after season 1 in favor of "look at this fucked up technology thing, wouldn't that be fucked up?" hard to rate since usually my rating of a TV episode will be based on how emotionally invested i am in the characters and their stories and that's not really a thing in this episode, they are entirely there just to advance the message, but it's very well-done 8/10? <cite>Dels posted [p:975867529] in Rate the B...
