Will have recaps up later, but just to let you know that episodes four and five are absolutely stellar (in very different ways) and make this entire show worth it.

Seriously, we need to have a giant conversation about the way race gets portrayed in sci-fi.

And ninth, we have an amazing Timothy Spall performance! It's not the best executed episode of the stand-outs but it is the one that's stuck with me the mosthttp://www.vulture.com/2018/01/electric-dreams-recap-season-1-episode-9-the-commuter.html …

The best episode for me. Does what Black Mirror doesn't, especially when compared to San Junipero, as it faces up to hardship and loss, rather than sidestepping it for a happy ending. That's a good comparison piece. Commuter vs San J: dealing with loss vs alternate reality

I'm probably the only person who felt that Kelly should have died rather than uploading her consciousness to San Junipero. The speech about her husband believing in something more, and the possibility that she could join him, made me think she really believed it.

She was clinging to it, not believing it. And contrary to that what she was clinging too, is everything that came before in the episode prior. It's a metaphor about letting go of past relationships and looking to the road ahead of you. IE a lesson for life.

Oh I get that. Maybe it's my latent Catholicism getting in the way. The Commuter felt more satisfying to me. Spall's character was certain of his decision, when I wasn't convinced Kelly was.

Why the heck does someone have to be certain to make a given choice? The whole point is what Kelly is doing is a leap of faith for tomorrow.
