Do you think San Junipero (Black Mirror) will one day be a reality?

Personally I'm hoping I can spend my elderly years being beamed virtually into a banging rave.

What kind of club or party would you go to, what would you wear, what age would you be and who with? What music?

I'd go for
Early 2000s London club
Black mini skirt, crop top, fluffy boots and glowsticks
With my DH (we always went clubbing together Iin our early 20s)
Hard house, trance and drum n bass

I loved that episode the most and often think of it. I’d all for it! I would be beamed back to the 90s, Oasis and Blur, amazing dance music

Also loved that BM. I have watched it a few times since it appeared on Netflix.

I think this could easily happen in future. I’d actually go for the same club as you OP. 80’s child!

The whole story of the 2 women was so meaningful. I’m such a massive black mirror fan. They always get me thinking so deeply!

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 22/01/2022 21:27

I might watch it again tomorrow. Absolute TV gold.

The ending was quite cold though. All those lives and memories and experiences reduced to computer chips being moved about by an automated robotic arm. Love it.

Well I'd much rather that be our future / fate than most Black Mirror future forecasts e.g Metalhead!

LagerthaofKattegat · 22/01/2022 21:32

The endings are often a bit blunt I find. Shock factor with some of them. I watched Nosedive with my teenager the other day. Certainly got her thinking about social media etc!

Love that episode

But not keen on eternal clubbing Grin

LoveMae · 22/01/2022 21:56

I loved this episode! I'm not a partier but I'd happily spend my eternal days with DW in our 20/30s living in a beach house somewhere with dogs and lovely walks.

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 22/01/2022 21:56

Oh I hope so.

Id be on a fairly empty beach in the warm evening sun with my toddler and my husband.

Metal head is terrifying. I watched it again the other day and my mental health was shot to pieces for the heat couple of days.

Next couple of days

One of my favourite black mirror episodes.

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 22/01/2022 23:20

It's heartening that in the retirement home Kelly was looked after by a human and not a robot. I'm fucked if I'll ever let a machine look after me.
