Every time a new season ofBlack Mirrordrops, theres a discussion of which episodes are the good ones.
Everyone in Tipley seems determined to make it clear that Nida doesnt belong here.
After all, just that morning, she found the partys logo spray-painted on her front door.
Hell be cast out into infinite nothingness if he doesnt pull it off.
Kill two happens the next day when Nida and Gaap visit the local pub to scope out some candidates.
She doesnt typically drink, but shell need a couple of triple scotches to pull this one off.
Its a fascinating scene, with Keith accepting hes about to die as a punishment for what he did.
Like Loch Henry, Demon 79 often subverts the expected violent confrontations.
The tension comes from watching Nida grapple with what shes doing; whats most at stake is her soul.
Unfortunately, it turns out Keith doesnt count for human-sacrifice purposes, since he has already killed someone himself.
So later that night, he follows Nida while she follows Smart after his big town-hall speech.
Ironically, that rule is what ends up killing billions in the end.
It makes for a perfectlyBlack Mirrorhappy ending.
But, as I mentioned before, its also about the tone.
I respect that willingness to take chances, even when it doesnt pay off.
Same goes for Essiedu andI May Destroy You.
The scene of him convincing Vicky that they want the same things is pretty chilling.
When Gaap first describes the cosmic void, Nida remarks, Sounds like my life.
Looks like he wipes his arse with his house.
