    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the beginning, when the young man tries to hack the car, his device displays command lines including "\bm\04\callister\60s.custom.drivers" and "\bm04\mianolan\architecture.sys" which refer to episodes one and three of the fourth Black Mirror season (and obviously this episode number). The third command line is "\bm04\reddit\easter.egg.sys".
    • Goofs
      At 19:05 the character mocks the dog as being unable to climb the tree because of the dismemberment of its arm. If the robot is recognized as a dog ( as she did in a radio message earlier) then the limb in question should have been referred to as a leg.
    • Quotes

      Clarke: Oh fucking hell. This is mental, this is. I mean, he's dying anyway. Well, he is. I mean, it's not like it's going to save him. He's got, what, days?

      Bella: Well, if it's what's in there makes those days easier, that'll do for me.

    Solid
    Negative reviews about "lack of exposition", "no dialogs" and "no context" prove that the viewers nowadays completely lost the imagination and need to be spoonfed with worldbuilding, just to understand what could possibly go wrong in a world where deadly metal robots were created as warehouse sentries.
