episode of Black Mirror (S7 E3)
How on EARTH is Hotel Reverie the lowest rated episode of the season on iMDB!?
unpopular opinion: I loved Hotel Reverie and I love the casting
Has it been noted that Hotel Reverie’s plot was a most entirely lifted from the Hallmark Christmas movie called “A Biltmore Christmas?”

I am sitting here writing this through tears, that broke my heart in fucking two.
it feels so melancholic and moving for me, and it gives references to San Junipero (and I loved that!) the wlw relationships portrayals on Black Mirror is so emotionally tender to me, so bittersweet. I know there's mixed reactions to this and some people didn't think the casting for Brandy is great but I loved it and I enjoyed their acting. it made me feel like a real vintage film! the actress who played Dorothy is amazing.
the plot is also giving me AI-ran sites irl like c.ai, where people would get so emotionally attached to these things and so did Brandy. girl was invested in the story! and she got sad when they got the machine running again and the simulation would go back to the 'scorpion kiss' scene, where Dorothy would forget everything. this reminds me of when characters on c.ai or AI roleplay sites would forget things and "lose memory" so easily when you restart the plot or chat. basically Brandy fell in love with the AI portrayal of Dorothy in a fictional universe, and it's bittersweet. a bit relatable to c.ai, but it feels somehow uncanny. overall I loved it, and it's okay if you don't. I wonder if anyone else loves this as much as I do!
edit: as I mentioned, it's okay if you don't like it! everyone has different tastes and thanks for sharing all of your opinions. appreciate it.
