The strongest episode in Mirror Mirror Season 7 has been retracted with a poor end

This post contains Spoilers For the 7th season of “Black Mirror”.

When “Black Mirror” broke into Charlie Broker the scene in 2011, He had a finger on the pulse of everything speculative imagination. Think more about the interesting story of the story, in coordinating selections, and exploring everything from the privacy of data and consumer identity to the virtual worlds of awareness within the preparation of science fiction. Even the most medium episodes were supported by a worthy vision, as every main story confirmed. However, it was clear in quality by time The sixth season continued, which has already extended the hypothesis to its borders. It seems that the seventh season has been followed in the footsteps of its predecessor, as it offers a mixed bag of disappointing stories that do not create a permanent impression. It seems as if the “black mirror” lost its edge.

After saying this, the last season is weak in the episodes that explore a strong hypothesis. Bête noire is one of themWith an interesting approach (if it can be predicted) for the concept of changing reality. The episode with Whiz Maria (Siena Kelly) is opened to test the latest batch of Miso Jam (!) With her boyfriend, Kae (Michael Workye). It seems that Maria has discovered her life: she is the CEO of Development at Chocolate Company, where she is appreciated by her artistic depth. During a set of testing a group of a group of Miso Jam in the office, a familiar face appeared. Verity (Rosy Mcewen), who went to the same school as Maria, appears in the test, which alone improves the group’s opinion on the group of sweets, which was badly received at the beginning.

Did “Bête Noire” prepare an emotional reunion, or does it put Verity’s arrival as evil? Looking at the tendency of a series of anthology to tell the dark stories, the episode tends to the latter, creating positions that excite the tense bone of Mary and the public. The nature of reality is interrogated, along with Mary’s credibility as a hero, as a reality and a fantasy in a state of chaos. Only when you think that the episode has done a good job in employing ACE, it stems from the end of the lame and a lazy that destroys everything that she worked hard for. Let’s talk about it.

Maria creates an explicit personal belief from the beginning: There is something “stop” about Verity, because she was the obsessed who is unpopular in high school that spent most of her time in the computer. This evaluation, of course, cannot be taken at the nominal value, as Maria’s talks about the right are very unveiled for her insecurity and medium girls ’trends. If there was anything, Verity was the person who was frightened by the famous people like Maria at school, and they were forced to be on the side lines during irony. This aspect of Maria’s character seems somewhat transparent when she negatively interacts with appointment as a researcher in her company, as her deep prejudices around women begin to appear criticism.

While Maria’s faults are really rooted (forcing us to reassess her claims about Verity), the episode gradually reveals the other side of reality. With the progress of the week, Maria’s life takes the worse, as small details about her life change in the blink of the eye. The chicken store (which Maria has known for years) changes its magic name (a sabotage use of the Mandela influence), and a component based on the sea herbs that he remembers in an email that turns into one not engine. For clear reasons, Verity, which appears to be sad due to Maria’s increasingly crazy behavior. When its climax is revealed, we learn what we used to guess all the time. Verity is malicious like heck and is here to take revenge after mastering a way to change reality on a whim.

The possibility of prediction may be the name of the game in “Bête Noire”, but it is close to exploring interesting questions about informal cruelty and its consequences for life. People like Maria may deliberately wipe the prominent aspects of their past with their growth, but the aspects affected harshly will always remember them. Verity is a weapon of her intelligence against her intimidation, using her to be who wants, including a personality worthy of worship. But these founding topics are marginalized in the end, as Maria calls the rights of reality and uses a reality addressing signal to become … “Empress of the Universe”. This funny idea is interpreted using bad CGI, and thousands of worshipers kneeling, and the deaf revolves around a story barely He had a point worth looking.

This end does not give us anything. It is shallow to escape the accountability of Maria, who is now on a very crazy journey with endless possibilities rather than facing the consequences or growth as an individual. There are no scientific fantasy tropics that have been used here as well, because the amazing Verity invention is just McGoven that was quickly polished. In essence, “Bête Noire” is largely empty, and its momentum comes out at the moment when Maria presses the button governed on one of the remote control devices in Verity.
