San Junipero: the best end credits ever
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2016 6:18 pm
So I've been watching Black Mirror even though it's supremely depressing and got to San Junipero.
That ending. Jesus Christ. Black Mirror hits hard but that was just a sledgehammer.
For those who don't know: Black Mirror is The Twilight Zone for misanthropes. It takes current or near-future "wat if's" and turns them into twisted explorations of how far humanity has fallen down the bullshit ladder. What if the PM of Great Britain is blackmailed into fucking a pig on live TV? What if your entire life is judged by an Uber-style five-star system? What if all that's left after the Apocalypse is talent shows and in-app purchases?
So San Junipero starts out with a shy girl (Yorkie) going into a disco sometime during the Eighties in a beach town in the US. She meets a party girl she likes (Kylie), drama ensues.

By the end of the episode,
Roll credits. And then during those credits,
Not gonna lie, I teared up. Fuck you Brooker.
