The Cold Truth

White Christmas - Black Mirror Recap and Discussion | Stinger Universe

This week we got to watch an absolutely thrilling episode of black mirror called White Christmas. Now I have to admit this episode really reminded me of the entire history of you with the eye technology that they had, but this was definitely a whole different ball game. So basically two people Matt and Potter are in a house simulation and they both tell each other why they are each there. Matt goes first and tells potter that he’s there because he illegally gave people advice to get romantic lovers play by play and also he didn’t report the murder of one of his clients getting killed by the person he was trying to pursue. Matt then explains that his real job is getting these things inside peoples minds for a week to develop another conscience for them to console everything around them and basically make there life perfect.

Then we get to potter. Potter appears to be a very kind and innocent man in the start of his story. He had a girlfriend named Beth and he finds out that Beth is pregnant through the garbage can where she through out the test. They then get into an argument and Beth blocks potter. Blocking someone means you can’t see or hear hem and vice versa back to you. So after she blocks him,Beth completely disappears, known knows where or who she’s with until potter finds out that she always used to go to her dads on Christmas Eve. So he goes to see her in a very stalking way every year and discovers that she actually kept the baby.

Years and years after visiting, he discovers through very close watching that its a baby girl, and potter is. explaining this all to Matt while they’re sitting and talking about it and why they are there. Blocking a person also means that they can’t see your offspring by the way too so that’s why he couldn’t see his kid. After a couple more years of watching potter discovers the death of his once known lover Beth through the tv and it was a train crash.Since she’s dead, the block died with her and he can see his daughter now.

Once he goes to see his daughter he discovers that his wife cheated on him and the kid wasn’t his and he loses it, killing Beths dad and letting the little girl go outside and die. little do we know, Potter really isn’t speaking to Matt, its his sub conscious talking to him and confessing everything because the real potter will not say a word. Once they get the confession its all over. But in actuality Matt did those terrible things so now everyone is blocked from him inches life now.

Reflecting on this episode I absolutely loved the suspense and the characters too. It was a mix of all of my favorite things. This was definitely my favorite black mirror episode to watch so far and can’t wait to watch more.
