I always believed that the title "Crocodile" referred to the phrase "Crocodile tears" due to the fact that no matter how disturbed and fraught she seemed at the murders she committed, she was willing to do more. So, no matter the cost, she was willing to do worse and worse things which makes her tears and emotional suffering irrelevant. Fake tears, essentially.
8:03
Karen H smart. I always thought it meant she was waiting for her next victim but I think crocodile tears makes more sense
Irrelevant tears are different than fake tears.
It was on the wiki page too
i just thought it was because she "snapped" lol
Mia: Finally I have killed all the witnesses! I’ll probably be sa-
Guinea pig: *Allow me to introduce myself.*
She couldn't know that the baby was blind, but I think she noticed the Guinea Pig. He can't speak, but he can see and she knew at this time for the rememorator. Never three without four ! 😌
@@josephinegosselin6623 Do you mean she did not notice the Guinea pig? Or she did and did not think the pig could have memories that could have been retrieved by the rememorator. And if she had known that wouldn't she have killed the pig?
Lmaoooo
@@RUclipsr-dq3ko I know guinea pigs are not pigs. They are cavid rodents. I was just omitting the word "Guinea" for the sake of brevity, just as one might say "horse" for seahorse.
2k like
I noticed that on the night Mia killed Rob, she drank a beer. So when Shazia gave her a beer to help her remember the accident, it helped her remember killing Rob instead.
Poor Shazia, she thought she was investigating a minor accident but instead she dug up something way bigger and she knew her family would die
That's why she was having second thoughts sniffing it because she will absolutely recall
Pretty sure she would've remembered the murder even without the beer, dummy.
OMG true wow
Black Mirror you really have to watch it several times to make the things glue together
@@karolclark791That’s the problem with low level office jobs. No way she should be driving into remote areas and going inside peoples houses without backup.
Absolutely no way.
Guinea Pig: "i'm bout to end this woman's career"
Qotrun Nada 😂😂
My theory is that she got caught using normal detective skills, no way a rodent would be able to recall such memories
@@freddypedraza2066 if they use normal detective work, why bother inteoducing an advanced memory recalling device in the movie? Besides, the police bring that guinea pig with them in the ending scene, and they also have the device. More advanced than the one Shazia had.
Lol 😂 never underestimate a guinea pig’s memory
@Freddy Pedraza
You obviously didn’t watch the episode.
Actually the prayer Shazia says is meant to be prayer when one hears about the death of others and notice she says it twice once for her husband and once for her baby
I think she was just repeating it as many times as she could before getting beaten to death.
that's a very great remark!
Highly assumptions by Shazia to think Mia was gonna kill her son and husband
@@stroberri6649 It's not really a big assumption.. Because I found it weird that she said that specific prayer cause usually if muslims were to think they are about to die they would say what's called "The Shahadah". This prayer is usually when one hears about the death of others.
Ok anyways but am I forgetting a scene or something because from what I remember Mia NEVER went to the baby's room BEFORE hearing his voices
So that would mean the baby never SAW her..
Why go into the baby's room then??
One thing I interpreted from this episode: Someone’s always watching.
That's a great interpretation!
So I guess everyone's a guinea pig. But the guinea pig watches too. Vice versa. & Everyone has crocodile tears? Ok, but I still wouldn't go on a killing rampage tho.
@@ahhwe-any7434 NEVER SAY NEVER
I actually cried out when they cut to the police looking into the cradle. I did not think for a second that she was gonna kill an infant but Black Mirror has always taken advantage of our expectations I guess
Infants can’t stand up. Baby was maybe 1yo
One flaw I think weakens the episode is that the insurance lady was going alone into people’s houses knowing that she could access criminal memories unrelated to accidents. Then what? Why would any employer think that’s safe to do alone.
Facts that is obviously not safe for her.
This. It's my least-favourite episode because the plot just feels like a lazy attempt to create a dark outcome.
If the memory-reading device existed and people were legally obligated to submit to it, there's no way they'd just be sending unarmed agents out solo to demand criminal evidence, because people would've started murdering them IMMEDIATELY. So the scenario that plays out isn't really interesting, because it's too predictable to have let happen at all, compared to all the other episodes with interesting unforeseen consequences to seemingly useful and well-regulated tech.
Loads of employers don’t care about low level officer admins like Shazia until something like this happens and remember this was a relatively new technology that had just been rolled out.
Most of those insurance company workers/salesmen also go about bothering people on their own so it’s not a stretch at all
Just put a little removable camera in her head that livestreams shit straight to her employers during her shift.
True. The dentist/doctor was obviously peeping and checking other people's privacy, and she probably encountered things like that in the past. But it's always shortly before the insurance incident, so based on evidence she had about that person, it was virtually impossible for them to be a murderer just before witnessing an insurance incident. As murder is not exactly something you do while in the sight of others.
Until of course, a freak situation occurred.
I honestly thought of Mia being similar to Macbeth. Both go from the main character whom we sympathize with until the end. Both didn't want to kill at first, but then they continue to do so. With every act of killing they seem to grow more cold, more distraught, and more willing to kill.
Interesting take on it
So true! I thought the very same thing!
What is Macbeth
@@Zaulhunter it is a story from Shakespeare about a man or a general who was told he was gonna be king by witches and goes on a killing spree to become king. He wasn't cruel or bad in the beginning, but by the end he is.
Doubt most people stay sympathized with her until the end
I had never hated somebody so much in an episode, I really wanted her to did honestly

How could she kill a baby? I know it's fiction, but that scene with her looking at the baby knowing that she would be killing him/her was one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. I wish I hadn't seen that.

I honestly thought it was called crocodile because Crocodiles kill their prey regardless of what they are, and don't stop killing

@@jdixon390 I get what the point is, it's just that it's a very vague point and could apply to a bunch of animals and not just crocodiles
I thought it was referring to the reptilian part of the brain
marz&miles you clearly don’t get references very much do you?
You picked the first part of the sentence and didn’t relate it to the show
I always figured that afterwards, Mia would end up in the White Bear park.
Oh yeah, the justice park!
The white bear justice park would've been way too good and merciful for the likes of someone of her depravity and immorality
@@dchappell05 what she did was kinda similar to the girl from White Bear though
@@aaronowens924 Exactly! The girl from White Bear isnt much better having been an accessory in the murder, kidnapping and killing of a young child. I always feel weird that so many people feel so sympathetic for her

@@cawmusic hey, I'm just trying to advocate for more content 😂😂
They all happened simultaneously in Michael Carrow's head to distract himself while he was porking Mrs Piggy.
Not sure if anyone else noticed but when they first crashed into the biker, her partner was heavily intoxicated, wreaking of alcohol. As well as when her ex visited the apartment and said he stopped drinking for over 9 months, while she still insisted on drinking, before killing him. So when they made her smell the alcohol before the memory scan, thats why other visions of when she killed her other victims, came into her mind. The alcohol triggered those memories
she didnt smell the alcohol though
I think she specifically avoided to smell the alcohol tho, probably because of that
@@davidkonevky7372 Yeah that's exactly why she didn't smell it

Ok so Weird Flex but I went to the filming site of this episode in Iceland on a school trip
You're lucky. Iceland is an absolutely beautiful country.
You're automatically a douchebag just because you said "weird flex". Jesus dude. You've reached levels of douche baggery that will live on for generations.
@@infinitygodking4750 How does that make him a douche?
INFINITY GODKING no your a douche for calling him out.
Cool! Did you go there before or after they filmed it? Like was it a school trip specifically to see the BM filming location? If so that’s one great school you attend.
I never understood why Mia was given a beer to smell to help jog her memory when she was inside the hotel and not outside where the smell of beer would be.
I could be wrong but I remember her mentioning to her ex, something about the whole place smelling like that.
The smell was on the whole street so going into the hotel she would have smelt it
Tolu1994 took the words out of my mouth. Unless she was beamed into the hotel USS Callister style, she would have been on the street at some point, parking the car, getting dropped off by a cab, walking into the hotel, etc.
Its mentioned a couple times that the entire area has that distinct scent in the air from the brewery.
she drank one and even offered her ex some in the hotel room
joj aun Yeah but Shazia didn’t know that.
A weird kind of thirst for blood was growing in Mia.. the way she looked at knives while making coffee for Shazia, suggests this.
She's a sociopath.
@@serene1275 no she isn’t. A sociopath would be unbothered. She is obviously riddled with emotion.
No, she was looking at tools to kill with. Doesn’t mean she was craving it. She wasn’t running around looking to kill people. She was killing to hide a crime. The intent is completely different.
@@strafer8764 I think , she was killing to hide a crime still she was willing to commit more.
@@rajnihada8863 yea that’s what happened
I seriously thought Crocodile was called Crocodile because of crocodile tears because she lies and cries while killing omg
Isn't that also what it is?
But Im pretty sure why that's why the episode is called crocodile
Crocodile tears are fake. She’s not fake crying.
You know what's weird, they could have titled this episode almost anything and I think we could have found some way to tie it in. The human brain is tricky like that. :)
True😂
You know what else is weird? Seeing one of my favourite guitar channels comment on one of my other favourite channels.
@@Blurro ohhhh......ok
The irony of the kid being blind and the Guinea pig being the one to see her.
I was always pretty sure that "Crocodile" related to the Crocodile from Peter Pan. Captain Hook was always paranoid about the ticking time bomb that was the Crocodile, terrified of what would happen if it came back to him, always running away. In this case, the incident from 15 years prior is Mia's "Crocodile". It's always there in the back of her mind, the guilt "ticking" away like the clock in the Crocodile's belly.
Oooh I like that!
That’s quite a stretch but I wouldn’t rule it out.
I thought it meant "Crocodile Tears" cause she cried throughout the whole episode and after each murder.
The memory device in this episode disturbed me the most. It's creepy enough to know that Instagram and other apps are always listening to our conversations. Strangers being able to see all of your memories without restriction is an exaggerated version of the same principle.
We can’t blame the technology for Mia’s actions. You seem to waver between understanding that Mia is a cold blooded killer who would do that but also saying if the technology didn’t exist, she never would have gone on the rampage.
If anyone witnessed anything that would have ruined her reputation (I’m not that convinced she was doing this for her family), she would have done everything to track them down. Her ruthlessness is clearly shown when she murders the kid. There just so happens to be a technology there that made her life easier.
In this case the technology wasn’t even a gun. It was more like a dedicated Google Search
I agree but that's also related to the point he was mentioning, that technology can't change human nature. It's humans that either make it worse or better.
Jen farmer Wtf is that argument the baby she killed didn’t even really get to live at all your mentality is actually really frightening
Joy Augustina Petinrin I disagree. The technology is the problem.
Thank you Joy. I have reached the exact same conclusion.
Of course she is fully to blame for her own actions, nobody is saying otherwise. Bryce Brown is just making an argument that this massive intrusion into our own minds creates a perverse incentive for people who are already immoral enough to kill other people for their own gain. Making sure there are no eyewitnesses creates a perverse incentive for "regular" criminals to become killers. That's the argument.
I've been robbed at gunpoint in an unlit street and I can see how fucked up it would be to have been killed just to make sure that they wouldn't get caught. Luckily the kids who robbed me had no incentive to kill me and I'm here wasting my time on RUclips.
Personally, I think that Fifteen Million Merits, as well as Metalhead, are actually fictional stories within the mirrorverse. In Black Museum, for instance, you can see Jack reading a comic book entitled “Fifteen Million Merits”, and the page he’s reading shows Bing ranting before the hosts.
Metalhead is a video game within the mirrorverse, developed by Tuckersoft, as it shows in Bandersnatch.
men against fire is also shown on arkangel. it's used as a sample for the implant to block out, men against fire may have been a movie in blackmirrorverse
Thanks! I always find it so ridiculous when respectable people start saying "oh they must generate electricity".
Jesus, this is about the most inefficient way possible to produce it in terms of energy input/output ratio.
They have these highly advanced neuro devices that are basically a philosophers stone but need to bike for current like Neanderthals?
Cycling for electricity simply makes zero sense at all and trying to rationale it into the BM-Verse is not productive. 15mio merits is a beautiful metaphorical episode that does not need to be pressed into anything.
MisterCharlton I think that 15mm & metalhead where stories that were made with cookies of real people, in 15mm they use cookies of people for tv entertainment and in metalhead they’re for a video game
@@oshmantounkara7642 What do you mean cookies of people?

That Guinea pig was the smuggest thing alive in this episode

Guinea pig. And what's smug about being a non-voluntary witness to a murder?
@@dondragmer2412 why😂? You upset she was caught.

I actually like the whole kid getting killed and replacing it from the guinnea pig. It's dark and sad but it works
The story is about the consequences of trying to hide from consequences. She goes further down the rabbit hole the more she attempts elude justice. It’s also about knowingly doing the wrong thing out of a sense of loyalty and obligation. She was the one that wanted to report the killing of the bicyclist. It was the boyfriend that set everything into motion.
Without the advanced technology of the time the boyfriend simply could have confessed without implementing her but with the tech they would know she was an accomplice. The boyfriend was the initial temptation.
It’s really weird to me that people think her tears are fake. It’s obvious she is dreading what she thinks she has to do. The tears are from guilt and her soul continuing to darken. She’s killing what humanity she has left with each murder. People don’t only cry when they are sad.
THIS. And when the song says we could have been anything we wanted to be, it definitely hits deeper realizing the society has manipulated our memories against us and fully created a surveillance world.
This episode reminded me of Macbeth:
"I am in blood
Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.
"
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear"
I fear who has the power to decide if I'm hiding something.
You forgot Men Against Fire. The “anyone who knows what love is” song is sang in that episode too....
He should also do a separate video on that episode
Zanele Mnguni he did
Such a poetic scene, the one person who couldn't identify you ( baby, due to being blind), you end up killing overlooking the one thing that acually could identify you (guinea pig), thats poetry right there, Black Mirror at it
crocodile tears are also mentioned in white bear, when baxter tells victoria “crocodile tears are making me sick”... idk if this is a stretch, but victoria also cries after being confronted with her horrible doings, just like mia
I just finished this episode from the first time, and I have a theory about the baby being born blind. Could it be possible that the baby being blind was a result of the constant use of the memory recaller? Some may say, the other kids in the episode aren't blind, however Shazia worked in insurance, and she used it pretty much everyday of of her life leading up to her death.
How does using the memory recalled have anything to do with Shazia, it has to do with the people she uses it on, she watches it from a monitor, she doesn’t use the memory recaller on herself.
I believe "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is" also plays in Men Against Fire, when the farmer girl soldier sings it to the man hiding roaches in his home.
One of my favorite episodes. The ending was very intense
And also, wow they managed to collect memories from the guinea pig...
this episode has no depth
I know what you did 15 summers ago
That guy was the main culprit and a big asshole. If he agreed to report to the police when she asked him to, none of this would be happening. He was a jobless guy who couldn't watch her be happy and ruined her life.
@Essence Knight It's called mutual trust, he begs her not to report and she helps her cover up as a genuine friend. But then he, out of nowhere suddenly comes to his senses deliberately trying to ruin her life. Rob was the asshole in the story. Not her.
@Essence Knight Dude you can't just go and reveal secrets of a crime you committed decades ago whenever you feel like it esp when your friends are involved. He had no right to call shots when he stopped her from doing the same earlier. He deserved his fate. I
Although it's unfortunate what she turned into but it's all thanks to that snitching fool Rob

me: 🤭😦
Because it had spoilers of other episodes too
Mandy This is so me lol 😂😂😂
I can so relate lol 😂
Omg im shocked😱
I loved this episode of BM because to me the darker and more disturbing the better!! But some of the reasoning is absurd: Mia’s sole purpose for killing her ex boyfriend is to keep the first murder hidden. But that’s kind of stupid because even though she helped dispose of the body she didn’t actually kill the guy on the bicycle, the boyfriend did. And the boyfriend said he was gonna send an “anonymous” note. Even if they DID track it back to him it doesn’t necessarily mean she would get in trouble and if she did it would be a fairly light sentence. As opposed to life in prison for the FIRST degree murder of the boyfriend.....
Yeah it was totally nonsense to show mia killing her boyfriend at first place.
Even if she gets a light sentence, that would ruin her career and she might lose a lot of standing and opportunities because of her record.
@@idreadFell365 😂 So what happened now then? Her career is finished and maybe she has multiple life sentences isn't it? After all she did?
@@idreadFell365 😂 And btw she was now arrested right in front of her son on his event day in School. The best ending ever👍🤣
what like theyll use that memory device on him and she help trowing the guy in the water
Cool setup with the guinea pig. Brilliant writing. She did all that, but forgot the pig who can also be key witness
You explain these episodes the best, rock on
Thank you!
Crocodiles, an apex predator, in the Florida Everglades often end up trying to eat Anacondas, another apex predator released into the environment by pet owners. Both being apex predators and anacondas being as large as they are, there are often Crocodiles found dead and half split open because they didn't recognize what they were eating as an apex predator and 'eat more than they can chew.' That is the meaning of this title to me.
No crocs in florida, those are alligators.
This episode reminds me of a quote from the Buddha:
"When a person feels no shame in telling a deliberate lie, there is no evil he or she will not do"
"The guinea pig in the room" made me laugh because you notice the elephant in the room but you don't notice the guinea pig in the room 😂😂
Thank you for another Black Mirror Explained- I appreciate it!
I'm not completely sure if you have it already, but if not could you make an Archangel explained? That episode was kind of freaky- felt close to home.

She didn't know the baby was blind.
@@nirupampratapgiri7879 it doesn’t fucking make it any better shut up
what kind of sadist kills a baby? kills anyone? she could’ve kidnapped the baby and kept it safe or something
@@no-jm3tw Chill, they're not making any excuses for her, just stating facts. That was supposed to be the irony of this whole situation. If she'd known the kid was blind, she would've probably left him alone or whatever
@@johnsk.j6894 i’m stating a fact too? who cares if she thought the baby could see there’s still different measures she could’ve took
She didn't know.
The insurance lady was too naive just going around checking peoples memories not thinking about what some people might be hiding and how far they’d go to protect their dirty deeds and her husband should’ve locked the doors and the bathroom door but what really pissed me off was when Mia killed the baby
“Anyone Who Knows What Love Is” is also sung in “Men Against Fire” by one of the soldiers as she attempts to drown out a prisoner’s prayers.
Actually Shazia was more Persistent than forceful when it came to the memory grain. When she comes to Mia's house, she kept insisting on the fact that she was there to only talk about the Pizza truck and the speed at which it was going, and she did state whatever Mia did in the hotel room, belonged to her only. She also stated that she had seen things 'worse' (a live example would be the dentist clicking a picture of the naked guy), but she of course didn't mean someone killing someone, which freaked her out and Mia caught on and later kills her.
I felt that neither Shazia or Mia were obligated to do what they did, but they did it out of love for their families, like you mentioned!
Having had two guinea pigs for pets I am not sure their brains would have been complex enough to have formed memories, initially from events perceived by the visual cortex, long term enough to have shown up even just the day or so later that the engram analyzer would have recorded them. But perhaps they have a subconscious also that would have made and maintained those memories.
The problem with the 15 million merits prequel theory is that 15 million merits seems to exist in a post apocalyptic time period one where food is grown in a lab and also one were you cycle to make a living
You see the thing is that cheap food is already "grown" in a lab today. Maybe the cyclists are like modern factory workers, cheap labour with room and board, cheap factory food. Eternally in debt. And maybe there was a world outside of that prison-like setting.
Your analysis of the painting & ripple effects at 9:17, shiitt!
Righttttt?!
USS Callister next!
YEAHHH
I'm not sure if anyone could top The Talk's (formerly known as Screenprism) analysis. It's brilliant; I'd recommend it to anyone who has yet to watch it.
No-one mentioned the ethical issues of looking into the memories of an animal (the guinea pig), who is unable to consent to this taking place. I wonder if Charlie Brooker was thinking of this?
this is the best comment here lol
If it’s to solve the murder of a literal CHILD and a man… it’s worth it.. also you think this world gaf about Guinea pigs? They’re literally used for product testing and tiny, neglectful cages are sold for them, it’s sad, but I don’t think they’re gonna care enough to not look at its memory
Some might say the guinea pig..squealed
Imagine watching some anime "scenes" and the police has to watch the whole thing just in case so they don't miss anything.
this episode was one of my favorite ones since I think it was a dark and weird, love your explanations dude
God. It took me three tries before I could finish this episode. Probably the "worst" (as in horrible, disturbing) one yet. This woman is not a psychopath, or a monster, or devoided of feelings. She's terribly human, she's selfish, anxious and terrified, to the point where her values take a step back. She's a monstrous person, but not because of her lack of feelings, but because she did those things IN SPITE OF them. It destroys her from the inside, and well, that's well deserved. I think this episode shows just far we'll go to preserve what we call "happiness", allowing the rational part of our minds to, well, as I've said, take a step back. I'll never watch it again.
Real World: Guinea pigs being tested first , then approval for Human Consumption
This episode Reverses the order
I really like your analysis. You notice every small details in each episodes
Thank you, it takes a while haha
Crocodile tears in French is “larmes de crocodile” and it’s an expression that means to cry over nothing. We could say something like: Ah, arrête de pleurnicher, sèche tes larmes de crocodile (ah stop crying, dry your crocodile tears already). I don’t think it’s an expression in English thought
Crocodile Tears is an english expression already, which is similar to what you mentioned. It means "fake show of emotions basically" because crocodiles cry when they eat their prey so theres really no reason for them to be sad.
JEREMIAH ok, I just wanted to be sure, because I heard him describe crocodile tears similarly to your description, a fake show of emotion. I just didn’t know it also meant to cry over nothing (there’s a slight nuance), which he never mentioned. For example, if a young child gets a little cut and start crying, those are crocodile tears, but as you’re describing it, for the English version of the expression, someone would fake it, like you’re not sad at all but you cry anyway.
JEREMIAH wait, I’ve done some research, it seems like in the French definition, it’s the same one as the English one. But I live in French Canada, so our definitions aren’t always the same.
She had to have been crazy to start with
*video ends*
me: ok so no one's watching me now right?
😂
You forgot that the Bugsy Malone reference was also slyly referencing Jodie Foster, the director of 'Archangel'.
I think the title also could reference crocodiles third eyelid that they use while swimming underwater. See when you try to open yours eyes underwater, its murky and you can't see anything. This could similarly be compared to trying to read someone's mind, you won't see anything. However, the corroborator, like a third eyelid, can let you see what you couldn't normally see, that being the memories of I witnesses. The third eyelid thing can also be connected to the "Third Eye", which I think is like people seeing the future or something
God knows what future technologies could be.. but this is REALLY scary
Right?!
You are so good at these.
Look, these speculations about the big picture of the BM Universe are overemphasized. This is not a God given construct that we are somehow meant to dissect. I am pretty certain that Brooker himself is playing with many different ideas on a daily basis and could basically do a "snap" any time he pleases.
Alot of this easter egg stuff emerged just by going on through the years. But it's not as if Brooker has some fixed grand plan and a completely defined universe where the writes can or cannot make stuff happen. It's all pretty open ended the way I see it...
After watching this episode Moral Story is : don't buy a Car who's not starting in 5 sec
[16:15] THANK YOU!!! I've been saying this about how laws aren't about right or wrong, but politics and population management. Morality goes into many laws, but I remember learning that some people actually believe our laws are based on the Christian 10 Commandments, when they aren't (stealing and killing, sure, but also to a degree, but not completely).
Why doesn’t this have a billion views in the first 1 min? 👌 These videos are littt! I wish the next season is coming soon!
The police would've also found the hammer on the floor of the bathroom after Mia killed Shazia's husband, and used it for forensics.
As soon as u uploaded, I was just watching a black mirror explain video. It’s fait
your name and profile pic had me burst out laughing during my lecture
@@peepeepoopoo7182 glad to make u smile
After watching this I've realised one could argue that each murder she committed was worse than the last.
1) Killed her ex who had also killed someone. Some would say he had it coming. Also he had no family so not so bad.
2) Killed Shazia who was collecting evidence unethically. Definitely not as bad as having committed a hit and run, but still bad. And yet she was still more innocent than Mia's ex.
3) Killing Shazia's husband who's done nothing wrong
4) Killed the baby who's literally done nothing wrong it's entire life.
So I suppose each of her victims were more innocent than the last. But her morality only exists when it benefits her. She kills all these people to keep her family together and feels that it justifies her own crimes. As if her removal from her family to go to jail for a few years for being accomplice to murder IF (big if) they traced her ex's crime back to her is far greater than the needless slaughter of four different human beings.
The Fifteen Million Merits link honestly blew my mind, I always wondered WHY people got income just for cycling and why were there so many bicycles. AAAAAH I love this YT channel!
This guy would make such a great poetry teacher
This is why you do the Right thing the first time. Never leave someone for dead that is wrong and you will get your karma
After seeing her killing spree and at the end with the baby. I’ve never wanted to truly kill someone before but Mia has changed that..
It's funny since the kills only worsened her situation even more. EVEN if she got away with it, that's just too much mental trauma for a person to handle. If she ever got asked to share her memories for an unrelated situation with that machine again, she'd probably have the memories from the day of the incident flood back in with strong emotions and she'll instantly get thrown into jail.
Just yesterday I'd searched if you'd uploaded a video on Crocodile.. lol.
Good timing lol
THe way I thought about Crocodile episode's name was that Crocodiles hide and strike out of nowhere and I related this to the way in which this old incident resurfaced quickly and struck causing a lot of downstream death as a result of Mia's actions.
In "The Entire History of You", would that implant technology still work if someone with bad eye vision took off their glasses and any authority wanting the view their last 24 hours, would just see blur?
probably. id assume it only has the capability of recording anything you've personally seen and heard.
This was an intense episode. Like really intense for me as I've made mistakes in my life (not close to those like the lead character obviously, but things that ate away at me) and I know what it's like to have a guilty conscience and trying to push forward, somehow mask it. It's tiring honestly, you can't get around it if you are a person with conscience.
When she was going after Shazia, and killed her, man, that's when my stomach turned completely, I totally thought Shazia was going to nail her.
Very psychologically uneasy, tense episode, anxiety inducing. Psychologically, besides the first episode, the most tense and unsettling one so far for me and even moreso because it was so civil, low key, realistic...Andrea Riseborough was really really good in this, award worthy.
I did not think that she would unalive the baby, but in the end, its black mirror. So, I kind of expected her to do it
Can we just appreciate how adorable that Guinea Pig is
Mia probably just should have taken the penalty for refusing to allow Shazia to use the recaller on her. Wonder what it would have been - a small jail sentence or a fine? Who cares
Thats the whole point..She could have easily avoided it in the first accident itself .But she went with the flow.. Before killing her ex she would have been only convicted of hiding the body in case the police finds out and probability was also less but instead she did commit a murder.
Originally I was really irritated about the guinea pig saving the day. I really was. It didn't make sense to me, it seemed far fetched and stupid. Thank you for clarifying, I feel a lot better about it now. Obviously the policeman's toys are quite a bit more advanced, and even a blurry description would be enough. I love your chann|l and your videos
Do White Christmas! Love your Black Mirror vids:)
Working on it, thank you
Literally all Mia had to do was say no thank you to using the recaller
I thought the episode was called crocodile, because they have eaten victims of a murder that were disposed in the swamps and later getting accidentally found when someone killed that poor croc.
Anyone gonna tell him that one song comes up in all seasons once because men against fire and Rachel jack and Ashley too has it
I was literally holding my head in disbelief when she killed the baby... and when the Officer said the baby was born blind. I left the room and laid on my bed for a good hour just processing what just happened.
