Oh, I thought that Black Mirror was a standard tv show, not one with stand alone episodes. I watched the first episode of the third season and thought that it was hilarious and really well written.

On TWD:
I'm interested to see volumes 17-21 adapted from the comic into the television show and I like JDM as Negan. I only hope they carry this momentum into the next episodes and all the way into the All Out War arc. Haven't been this interested in two characters on TWD since Rick and Shane. I wasn't sure what to expect since I completely avoided spoilers but I like how brutal it was. One thing I'm looking at with this season is what they'll do with Morgan. They turned Morgan into a very hard to like character last season so where does it go from here with him? I wonder if he'll even survive into volume 22 and what role he'll play if so... Quote:

Yes, the above "spoiler" contains, as it might be deduced, spoilers Generally though I focused on how the world changes, not the fates of characters or specific plot lines. |

That's exactly why I wrote that spoiler as I probably would have quit the tv show a while back if I didn't know how the story developed. I would want to know if "there is more to this", and I would have assumed there isn't and simply quit watching the show. Of course it all depends on how they go about it and what changes they'll make (there are quite a few key differences between the comics and the tv show, the story is roughly the same but personal stories of characters differ greatly).
Anyway, while the WD is good/bad/whatever, Westworld is getting more and more amazing imo. Sure it's rather slow and after 4 episodes no one knows what the show is really about, but it's done so well and the speculation .. I honestly can't remember the last time people were so enthusiastically exchanging theories. I also have to say that while initially I didn't care for Ed Harris in this that much, after the 4th episode where we see a bit more of the man as the dreaded Man in Black, I think I misjudged him initially. |

I can't wait to see where this show goes. Yeah, that was the one that really stuck with me. I'm through episode 4 and while I don't think there has been one individual story that rises to the top, they have all been consistently good.

One more thing about TWD:
