Yeah, I'm psyched for Black Mirror! Took them long enough to announce the damn date on that one. :lol

No kidding. And I'm fairly confident I'll watch all (6) episodes within two days.....heck, if I can get started on them at 8:00 or 9:00 at night I may just do them all in one night  :lol   I'm just hoping they hold up to the previous seasons, there's always the risk when something gets that popular and is highly regarded it could fall short but NETFLIX has a pretty good track record.

I'll smash that shit in under a day EASY. :blob:
I trust Charlie Brooker to deliver more great episodes. I'm especially intrigued by the Star Trek parody, because it's completely new for Black Mirror, and I can't wait to see what direction they'll go with that.

My brother and I are curious about that one as well.

Guess I'll wait for Netflix then. I downloaded the first 5 episodes  of season 2 a while back, but just haven't had the time to get to them. Looking forward to it.

It'll be the reverse of a standard Star Trek Holodeck episode (where the crew go somewhere boring...).  So the staff of a Jazz Bar use a Holosuit to become the crew of the federation flag ship   ;D

I'm sure it will be something along the lines of VR - I do wonder if it could end up being like the Red Dwarf episode 'Back to Reality'.

Binged the first (7) episodes last night......will probably hammer out the last (5) tonight. I'm really digging this season a lot.

Glad you're enjoying it. :tup Those last episodes are even better imo, so you should enjoy the rest.

I love how a lot of the actors are from prior sci fi shows like Continuum, Stargate etc. It's like they have their own little sci fi actor club  :lol

Yeah, I love spotting the same actors in these shows. :D It's not just the genre shows either, but basically anything filmed in Vancouver (including big scifi movies)
Half the reason I'll become aware of a show and check it out is because someone from a previous scifi show is in it. And you're not even allowed to have a Canadian scifi show without Amanda Tapping directing something. She directed 4 episodes this season. :hat

Finished it up. Wow, what an ending to a season! I’m perplexed at how they’re going to move the show along. It’s gonna be crazy.



Spoilers:

Ok Blob I need some help piecing together what happened at the end there. Did Vincent somehow end up in the Therapist (Amanda Tapling?) and, then a traveler entered the old Vince? I’m confused as to what went down there.

Yeah, that's what happened. He had the crazy dude build that machine, so he could transfer his consciousness into the therapist, leaving his body as an empty braindead shell for the director to find and think he was dealt with, then he gets to continue hiding in a new body.
So I guess he has no reason to bother anyone again now that he can quietly live out his life without fear of being exposed to the director, although I'd like to see the character return some day.

So now the only major threat is just every single organization in the entire world. :lol I hope the show gets renewed, because I'm also very curious to see what they'll do from here.

I hope it’s renewed as well. It’s a cool show.

You’d think the traveler who inhabited Vince would find the machine and they’d figure it out? And, I’m curious as to the fate of Simon?

Simon would be a loose end, so I'd think he'd have been killed right after, probably by the machine which he promised he'd use to fix him, then destroy the machine.

I wasn't a big fan of the finale but overall it was a very good season. I'm looking forward to S3 but I fear they might not renew it as it also felt a little bit like a series finale, as if they told them they aren't gonna make a new season so they did the best they could with the plotlines (Vincent and the travelers got a Director msg to stay away of each other few episodes back, why was the end so focused on that?)

Renewed for a Third Season....Exclusively on NETFLIX   :metal     I really like this show and am glad to see it gets at least one more season. And I am totally stumped and curious as to how they're gonna move forward.

It'd be great if Netflix Canada added this to their inventory.  I watched Season 1 last year as it unfolded on the network that carries it up here, but missed it scheduling it on the DVR for Season 2.  I'd been patiently awaiting it to be added to Netflix when the season ended, but it still ain't there.   >:(

That sucks, jingle. I guess because of the TV deal there, you get it later for Netflix. It was on US Netflix 4 months ago iirc. I'm pleasantly surprised and excited that it got renewed for another season. I posted about it in the chat thread about a week ago when I found out, but forgot to post it here though.

To be fair, you did get the first two seasons long before the rest of the world got it on Netflix, but it sucks that if you missed that, you have to wait so long afterwards to view it online. At least S3 should be a simultaneous release.

That wasn't too long of a wait as I refreshed on your post above from 3/20/18. I should have the whole season completed by the end of the 14th or 15th at the latest! :tup

That’s what I thought. Very quick turn around. When I noticed the trailer I thought for sure it’d say something like ‘Summer of 19’ or something.

I’ll take it though. Hopefully Season 3 can hold it’s own against the first two because they were really good.

It's really well done. The story is in constant evolution and stays interesting....the characters are cool and get time to develop....it's just a good show. One of the better 'time travel' type shows that I've watched. there's a fine line when it comes to messing around with any type of time travel in a show and it generally catches up to a show and ruins it. Not this one. Can't wait to see season three....

I just watched Eric McCormack's Build series interview on YouTube last night where the main topic was Travelers. He hints that this new season is going to mess us up.

I don't see how I won't start Season 3 next Friday after work. I knocked out the first 2 seasons in a few days. These Canadians really know how to do good Sci-Fi.

Yeah...I recall knocking out those first two seasons pretty quick also. It’s just a good show.

You’re right about the time travel shows because Continuum was awesome also. I felt like they and we the fans got ripped off with the hastened shortened last season but at least they allowed them the chance to wrap it up

I don't even bother with new scifi shows unless they're from Canada or the UK. Americans can't do scifi for shit, sorry. :lol

Continuum and Travelers being two recent favourites, especially Continuum. :tup
