Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the beginning when Clarke 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 USS Callister (2017) and Crocodile (2017) (and this episode number). The third command line is '\bm04\reddit\easter.egg.sys'.
- Goofs*SPOILERS*
The "dog" is shown to have the ability to fire an on-board gun, which it has already used against the two male characters. When Bella is stuck up the tree it makes no attempt to take what appears to be an open shot at her with a clear line of sight, instead opting to sit & wait. This allows her to escape but makes no sense given the previously demonstrated effectiveness of its weapon.
This is not a plot hole. When the dog is stuck in the wrecked car, it breaks off the leg with the gun in order to escape. It's subsequently seen hobbling around on three legs.

Featured review
Much better than the reviews suggest.
This is one of the best Black Mirror episodes, along with Shut Up And Dance and The Entire History Of You. It's a tense 45 minutes with a bleak, nihilistic, ending. People complaining about it being about nothing going nowhere are missing the point, if humans put too much into making robots that can fight a war then they're asking for trouble and if a war is fought using them then this could be the sort of scenario the human race faces after such a war. The "dog" robot is eerily close to the systems being developed by the likes of Boston Dynamics and the Chinese Military, only just today the Chinese unveiled a dog robot that can defend itself and I only just watched this episode last night! Just view it as a straightforward sci-fi horror similar to The Terminator.
