S04E02 - that must been helluwa progress in battery industry

...when you can still revive battery in tablet after years of inactivity.
2nd pisode already quite better but it seem they are just recycling themselves with these eyesight filters (White christmas) and looking at history (entire history of you) instead of coming with something entirely new.
I like mention that in Europe was this Arkangel nonsense banned from very beginning and allowed only in US, seem accurate in different approach - wild west in US, everything allowed and then dealing with consequences instead of European research and waiting for approval before accessibility to customers.

I was wondering about battery life too as the girl aged, but was forgiving as at least she did have to find the charging cable before it would turn on. :) Sadly, for me this was the best episode of S4 so far (I've only watched the first 3). I say sadly because I wasn't particularly impressed with it either. It seemed to have a heavy mother-guilt vibe that took away some of the punch for me.

for me as European mother looked crazy from very beginning and while episode was very predictable
also are we to believe company which can't sell products anymore and was banned still operates such service after so many years?
there are for sure better episodes, but half of this season it's recycling cookie device. hang the dj was for me best, thigh ending kinda ruined it and it was too similar to Lobster movie

I agree that Hang the DJ was one of the best. I think for me it's a tie between that and Metalhead. I got into that one. The second half of the season (even the last episode) redeemed the rest of the season for me, but the ending of the final episode was disappointing (and par for the course this year). I haven't watched Lobster, I'll have to check it out!

heh, seem to have similar taste, metalhead was for me also second best for realistic technology, camera and story without background, black museum would be with gap third place, the other three cookie episodes were really bad (I admit uss calister was funny but not really BM material)

Speaking of everlasting things, what do you think the line "I'm 2,000 years old?" is supposed to mean?

I thought she was just self-depreciating and speaking hyperbolically
