The best explanation so far for "National Anthem" is that peoples faces are too deep into screens to pay attention to the waking world around them. It seems to go off on a small scale about gossip rags and rabid news coverage.
Zelcorpion said:It is an excellent show - especially 15 MILLION MERITS is noteworthy.
I am gonna take a look at the Christmas special with Jon Hamm.
vinman said:I love this show. A friend told me about it Saturday, and I watched every episode over the weekend. I think it's a more modern, and darker Twilight Zone. The White Bear episode (Season 2 Episode 2) was a twist that I didn't see coming. I'm hooked. Hats off to you Brits for making some good television.
:clap:

15 million merits
- assortative mating - chunky Asian girl wants the black guy who wants the white girl
- white knighting - 1) his dead brother's credits, 2) her getting pushed into porn, 3) his statement
- getting fame for something righteous and cashing in on your credibility
- buying shit for virtual selves
- the ginger seeking approval, and always buying things for his virtual self to feel better about his real self (Roosh hit on this idea when he pulled the rep point system)
Waldo Moment
- the problem with Russel Brand, Colbert, Stewart, Limbaugh, et cetera. Writers for House of Cards said they had to make Frank Underwood a democrat, because the Net Flix audience ASSUMES that's how the Republicans are. (i'd also argue that a lot of people on the left wish that all SJW's were as mercenary as they think the right is)
- Again, sexual/romantic frustration
Two instances of the Baby ain't Yours. (X-Mas and History)
One insufferable wife who won't share in the sacrifice of her husband
Insufferable not talent bitch, who incidentally is a photo negative of Bjork. (lol)
A chick who can't support another chick (15)
A chick who has no sense of self and would rather prostitute herself than be thought of as ordinary
Crazy bitch in X-Mas
A bitch who can't return a fucking text or phone call, and then gives the dude the brush off
I won't even speak on White Bear, but the "partner in crime" theme shows up in other places in the series.
The dudes don't come off really too cool either (other than the Alpha in History of You), but if you don't see the "ugly truths" about women in every single episode - maybe you don't get the red pill.
What's most interesting is that almost all of the chicks, except the chick with voices in her head, are all typical chicks doing typical things. There's no "gone girl" crazy sociopath.
I'm sure Jezebel or XoJane will have a field day if they ever think about it

Also WYB Chloe Pirrie (the female politician)
