Obviously I didn’t know the twist when I was watching it the first time, but when I was watching it the second time, I thought, “why would someone be a bartender in this world?”īROOKER: We had a lot of debates about that and you’ll notice that we don’t show the bartenders in any of the other eras because that was where we hit up against a logic problem. But chiefly, she’s kind of just hiding there. But I think that would be a thing people might do, revisit eras that they missed at the time because they were living but not immersed. Is that what you were thinking?īROOKER: I was actually thinking that in reality, Kelly would have been older than the clientele in 2002. And so when people talk about their heyday, their prime, their youth, that something like 2002 would be too recent for Kelly and not intrinsic to Kelly. MBATHA-RAW: We know that Kelly has a whole other life I suppose it’s more just because we know just how old she really is. Speaking about eras, when Yorkie saw Kelly in 2002, she was almost disgusted that she were there: “this is not your era.” What were the implications of that judgement? So for them, it’s an era that for them was very special. But people gravitate towards their own era, nostalgia therapy is a real thing that’s being tinkered with.

I was thinking of things like Grand Theft Auto, and then there’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which was like an ‘80s re-skinned version of Grand Theft Auto-and how they all exist concurrently. GUGU MBATHA-RAW: As suffragettes! īROOKER: Yes, suffragettes and cavewomen! The renaissance! But the logic for me, in writing it is that the different areas or different years are almost like different rooms. For instance, I’m wondering if, 1980 is the earliest year in simulation, and if so is that because that’s as far back as nostalgia goes for the populace of that time?īROOKER: I did have an idea of what I wanted to do at one point, but it was too complicated.There was a moment where I wanted the end to go through lots of different time periods: flapper girls and in the ‘60s. Yeah, there are many doorways to open, such curiosities. I don’t know if you’re aware but there’s kind of a current obsession going on online, there’s so much depth in this episode, it could almost be an entire series.ĬHARLIE BROOKER: You mean to really get in there? I actually watched it again last night, and it’s even more interesting watching it a second time, knowing the twists. Ooooh, baby, you know what that's worth? A read.ĬOLLIDER: Like many fans of Black Mirror, I loved this episode that you guys worked on together. Though he's careful to not explain everything, Brooker's comments about an enthused video gamer, a "triumphant" death, a scrapped montage and his placement of "Blondie" the bartender seem to debunk a popular Reddit theory about the episode ending differently than presented.

Brooker talks about some of the logic intent in his creation of the (okay one last time, SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER) augmented-reality simulation world that Kelly (Mbatha-Raw) and Yorkie ( Mackenzie Davis) meet and fall in love in. So, there's your last warning, please only continue reading if you've seen episode 4 and are likewise obsessed. We sat down with actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw ( Beyond the Lights) and the show's writer-creator ( Charlie Brooker) to discuss "San Junipero" in a SPOILER INTERVIEW.

So, with "San Junipero" you spend half an episode with two truly appealing characters as they fumble about a new romance-before the mirror starts to crack and reveal what's really going on. The episode plays with nostalgia, particularly 1980 through 2002, in a story that takes more than half an episode to reveal how its narrative fits into the future. But it's not just instant gratification that's making episode 4, "San Junipero", become a new obsession.

The series third season being aired all at once on Netflix-the streaming service that gave the original Channel 4 mini-series a huge eyeball boost outside of the UK-has of course pitched the buzziness at a higher level. Because each episode is self-contained, a la The Twilight Zone, if one is particularly buzzy, anyone can see it without having to have seen any other episode. Sure, there are many great ideas about how technology is entrapping us and the future of human interaction is incredibly bleak. The beauty of Black Mirror is the episode singularity.
