BANDERSNATCH SEQUEL?! Black Mirror Season 7 Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Black Mirror Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Spoiler Review, Breakdown, & Ending Explained! In Black Mirror Season 7 Episode 4, titled "Plaything," we delve into a mind-bending narrative that blurs the lines between reality and digital consciousness. The episode follows Cameron Walker, portrayed by Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who, The Thick of It), a former video game journalist whose obsession with a 1990s life simulation game called "Thronglets" leads him down a dark path. As he becomes increasingly entwined with the digital creatures, Cameron's reality begins to unravel, culminating in a chilling climax that questions the very nature of humanity and technology. The episode also features Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy) as the younger Cameron, James Nelson-Joyce (The Outlaws) as DCI Kano, Michele Austin (This Is Going to Hurt) as Jen Minter, Will Poulter (Bandersnatch, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) reprising his role as Colin Ritman, and Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing) as Mohan Thakur. Directed by David Slade (Hard Candy, Hannibal) and written by series creator Charlie Brooker, "Plaything" is a haunting exploration of digital lifeforms, AI ethics, and the consequences of human obsession.

Capaldi was phenomenal in this. I also felt so protective of the thronglets and felt similar to Greg when they were being slaughtered. I was so angry lol I love that they made them so cute because it played into that protective vibe that many of us feel when something is small and cute. this episode made me want to treat my Sims even better than I already do 😆

Colin "ranting about a basilisk" calls to the thought experiment of "Roko's basilisk", about a superintelligent AI that punishes the people who knew of its existence but didn't work to help it come into existence.

Will Poulter was excellent as always, would not mind if he was recurring in every season as Colin

Using the series of game consoles to indicate the passage of time and increased sophistication of the throng system is such a cool touch.

The episode takes place in the 2030s, the detective guy mentioned a law from 2029 so this would be after that, not to mention that Capaldi is in his 60s so he'd be about 40 years older than the younger actor from the 1994 scenes which lines up with the 2030s date.

“Medication time” was probably so he too could understand the Throng.
