Black Mirror: Origins S1E3 What Is Right
Episode Summary: Cavemen discover that some pigments can be used to write down thoughts and memories. The technology seems helpful, until someone realizes you can write falsities as easily as truths
Notable quotes: Caveman (seeing his words and art deformed, with no ability to erase the marks on the cave walls): What truths have we been able to find from nature? We seek to record our triumphs, but nature easily reverses its marks upon us in a cruel mimicry, like a mirror.

The cave painting says "Krugg have big dick" but another caveman vandalized it to read "krugg no have big dick"

Krugg: Wow, black mirror was right.

I like to imagine the cavemen in the black mirror origins episodes are cast by actors like patrick stewart, so they can deliver maximum oratory delight befitting such eloquent people

A man dreams of a nightmare future where the world is populated by robots that look like Minions who handle most of the custodial/manufacturing/service industries. There's no obvious malice from the Minion-bots, but he becomes more and more anxious as he notices that the Minion-bots speak their own language and are actively communicating with one another. The dream becomes more and more ominous until the man awakes screaming.

He is relieved upon realizing that he had dreamt of that nightmare world. There's a knock at his bedroom door and his door opens. A FunkoPop Servant Robot that resembles Magneto enters the room and says, "I heard a scream. Do you need assistance?" The man glances over and says, "Oh Mags, you wont believe the zany dream I just had!"

Black Mirror: Origins S1E3: It Is Wednesday

Episode summary: Cavemen have discovered that days come in cycles. They realize that at certain times of the year, plants die, and in others, plants are reborn. This happens over and over again. It was time to put together a calendar.

Notable quote: My hubris! I thought that Man, having conquered all of nature and seeking to name each waking cycle, could name each day and night! But as the scope of the cycle is too vast, as the stars move ever so slowly in their grand migration around our land only to come back for the next cycle, I can only ask: "When, when is today?" Thus I can only proclaim, "It is When's Day, my dudes!"

An episode about the writers of a tv show who have come so far from a niche community that they can write the same 6 episodes for every season. All is well until Kenneth, a self-teaching robot, develops an algorithm that does a better job than the writers ever could. Furious and hoping to not get fired, the writers plot to destroy Kenneth. Kenneth kills all of them except for one: the writer who was ‘the lookout’. The rest of the episode is a court drama - although killing in self defense is legal in the town, the law has only applied to humans thus far.

Black Mirror: Origins S1E4 – Good Boy

Episode Summary

We see the day in the life of Ughh, a powerful caveman. He has command over many beasts. Sheep graze near him which he uses for wool. Cows, likewise, which he uses for milk. He slays Mammoths. He even has a pit with several chickens in it which he uses for eggs. His prized possession is Fido – his hunting dog. All is well until one day, after he mistreats Fido, the dog turns on him and kills him.

Notable Quote

Ughh (as he lies bleeding from Fido's attack): What hubris. I commanded all the beasts of this land, but in the end it is Fido – who I trained to be a killer for me – Kills me. The irony. The folly.

Ugg spends his days painstakingly creating an elaborate cave painting of the exploits of his tribe, except when he shows his finished work they argue about what each of the drawings actually are because they're, well, cave drawings and they're kind of lovely and everything's a stick person or a stick animal. Ugg gets mad and says it should be obvious what everything is and it's exactly how they look like in real life. His friends try to explain that he only knows what everything is because he drew it, but he refuses to listen and calls them all morons and leaves in a huff.

The next day he wakes up, and the world has been transformed - EVERYTHING looks like it's been painted on a cave wall. His friends are all simplistic stick figures, animals are all roughly four legged and have tails, and everything is two dimensional. Ugg spends the episode pretending everything is fine despite obviously not being able to tell anyone or anything apart (hilarious hijinks ensue when he can't identify his wife), and he eventually concedes to his friends that he should probably get some perspective on the matter.

A single Coke Freestyle machine. The display shows 25 drink options available, but a tab at the bottom shows that there are 6 other pages of drink options available. A parched man waits in a line behind three energetic children. One of the kids says to the others, "I'm gonna have a suicide!" and begins pressing the buttons one by one, dispensing small amounts of each drink into his 64 oz cup. The second and third kids say, "YEAAHHHH! I'm gonna have a suicide too!" The man at the back of the line looks down, fingers the poison pill in his pocket, and mutters, "Yeah... me too"
