No, you didn't imagine it, this video was published a week ago. But it's back up now for all to enjoy, and this time it's here to stay! 🤞 My analysis of Mazey Day is available to Early Access Crew and higher tiers: www.patreon.com/harrysmovingmedia

Glad to see this got reuploaded, I was so disappointed that I missed it originally. "What are they going to talk about? What's left to discuss?" In a strange sort of way, they have everything to discuss. David and Cliff share the exact same sense of loss, isolation and hatred for each other, in a warped fashion they now truly understand each other. You can arguably interpret David offering Cliff that seat as a non verbal way of him saying "now you understand my pain, now we're equals"

[@AttyJ]

Yeah, after how much detail he went into for the rest of the episode, I'm surprised this was the part he missed. 😂

[@Luna-cn4pj]

I love how David kicked the chair at the ending like welcome to my hell welcome to my suffering

[@kikxxx]

yeah, but what most miss here is - Aaron Paul's Character was ignoring him in his suffer, spending only seconds in interactions with Dave that werent related to the job... he was distant and not interested in his suffer, not being a commared and a shoulder to cry on at all! I interpreted the ending mostly as now you have the time to hear my sufferings...

[@MrBroken030]

Aaron Paul Character "Cliff" tried to comfort David in the greenhouse and got screamed at twice, dont forget that scene. He tried to help him and knowing what kind of emotionally distant man Cliff is, its fair to assume it was probably quite hard for him to extend that kind of emotional availability to David in the first place and being screamed at, rejecting the help probably hurt him. Also note how Cliff said he beat his son, most people that beat their children got beat as a child too, i think there is some generational family trauma going on with Cliff, there is a reason he is so emotionally distant to his family and other people in general. He probably got traumatized, played and disappointed by people too much, thats how people become emotionally unavailable, tough exterior persons and yet even though Cliff isnt the nicest or the warmest person due to his own trauma he let David use his replica cause he saw David breaking down mentally and thats after David rejected Cliffs help and screamed at him. Cliffs lesson is "Never trust a person again, dont try to help them, they will hurt you. If you dont trust them you cant get disappointed or hurt." David is a complete psycho in this story, he inflicted the same trauma he had to endure. What a devil! We could say the same about Cliff beating his child, its probably also inflicting the same trauma he had to endure in his childhood onto his child but with Cliff we see this glimpse of a potential change in him at the end before David murdered Cliffs family, robbing him of the chance to become the better father his son and wife deserved, truely tragic. @@kikxxx

You Love that 🤔🤔

[@saskruffriders8234]

I was surprised that Cliff didn’t kill David, but I suppose they NEED each other for the mission.

[@MrJeffcoley1]

TBH he should kill him. F the mission

[@SmokeySmudgeStudio]

Honestly all i could think about when watching this epsiode was how stupid the couple were for letting a grief-stricken man with horrendous ptsd use his body unsupervised. Surely you'd call mission control and get a therapist out to the house first for him to talk to! I guess the only explanation for that is the 60s setting

[@Matt561]

This is nothing left but duty, that's why he offered the seat.

[@NileSWPhotography]

I was literally thinking, when I saw this upload… “I swear I’ve seen this title before” 😂

[@yumnax]

David offering Cliff the chair was meant to be understood as “Welcome to the club!”.

[@MarkMichalowski]

Yes, that gaping hole (why didn't they send the replicas into space and let the real ones stay on Earth??) wouldn't close up and let me forget it. But then end was an interesting, dark wrinkle - if not a twist...

[@jessieliddel9906]

I assumed it was because if the humans died on earth the replicas would have no consciousness and would fail the mission. It is more likely that two humans would die on earth (car accidents, disease caught by other humans, murder) than they would in space where they are isolated

[@ReddwarfIV]

​@jessieliddel9906 We launch unmanned probes all the time. If they fail, the only thing you have lost is money. If a spacecraft accident kills astronauts, you can lose the confidence of the public, the budget of your space program, along with the training and experience of those individuals. Another reason to use the remotes on the ship is that anyone could be sent there to fix any problem, perform any task. If you just sent humans, you only have what you sent.

[@goodjoejoe]

@@jessieliddel9906 Except we see that anyone can inhabit a replica. They can just get someone else to use the replica if the person died.

[@fishybeloved]

@@goodjoejoei guess maybe it’s because there’s some sort of treatment replicas have to get through in order to stay functional that can only be doable on earth.

[@rakeshmagdum]

​@jessieliddel9906 yeah sure, but if they died on earth, they could send other people as a replacement. We know this because they used each other's body.

[@nightowl8477]

16:03 'You don't know what you have until it's gone.' That's the theme. Like he said when he was first grieving on the spaceship, David doesn't get it. Now he does. They're in the same position, on the same level, having walked a mile in his spaceboots. Pulling up the chair is just symbolic of that. Bit of a weak theme ngl, but everything fits into it pretty elegantly.

[@Pendleton115]

What a great analysis, Harry you always go above and beyond!

[@Luna-cn4pj]

Also I get why humans where sent into space like if you have one replica and has errors up there malfunctionins then mission was loss

[@BaLLHands87]

Hurt people, hurt people the episode.

[@mathiaswilhelm1902]

When I read the episode Discription I was hoping it’ll be the two astronauts are the only survivors to a global supernatural catastrophe (kind of like end of evangelion) and they decide weather to survive as long as they can or quit Then it could have a twist where it was just standard isolation training to see how much perseverance they have before departure That would’ve been a better episode I think

[@Matt561]

what an amazing episode, Arron Paul better get an Emmy

[@rhysmoreby1605]

Way to miss the point of the ending. David tells Cliff that he doesn’t understand what it is like to lose everything he had back home. He did what he did to show him.

[@Marween]

I thought deja vu

[@Brosephstalin999]

Why not have the humans on earth and the robots in space

[@daustin8888]

Ha!

[@Natthawutintharason]

That’s a pretty good question

[@PuriGx]

LoL 🤣

Did you not pay attention??? It was to test the effects on the human body in space ya dingus

[@pinkiguana1]

@@MrSponge56 It drives me nuts how many people miss this and think they're being clever by pointing out a "plothole."

[@arpitmehta2281]

What I didn't understand is if they can create mechanical versions of people why didn't they just send the mechanical versions up to space?

[@PuriGx]

Yeah... That's a good point

This is the perfect example of men like these, they did a good job with this episode

[@Emma88178]

Um what??? Black Mirror has ALWAYS had episodes similar to this. And past seasons have had even more disturbing episodes.

[@MrJeffcoley1]

@@Emma88178 This episode wasn’t clever, it didn’t have a twist ending. It was just sick. Black Mirror has moments of brilliance but most episodes are mid at best. This one dropped straight through the floor in terms of bad.
