Plus, it would have meant that Nida would have been hallucinating this whole time if it was in the same universe. However, if the nuclear war did happen, then it would be parallel universes, which explains why she could have seen into the future when Gaap showed him the Michael Smart visions.

it’s sort of funny because when he was written as a funny and “lovable” demon but he says at the beginning that he’s also a liar. So if you think about him in that context, he might be a lot more devious with unknown intentions. Which makes a second viewing of the episode a little more intriguing.

You should watch The Good Place😊

I loved how she wore a red leather jacket at the end, and Gaap was in white with puffy feathered sleeves resembling angel wings. Initially, she was innocent and almost angelic with innocence, while he was the devil/demon. It felt like the role of the devil switched once she adorned the leather jacket. Once a demon starts objecting to your actions, you know you've gone down the darkest path. In a sense, Gaap offered her a spot with him in oblivion, like an alternative heaven for just the two of them. I wish they had fleshed out the relationship between the two more. She was attracted to the singer, but developing their chemistry would have made the ending more satisfying.

No. It works well this way. Enough of sequels. Less is more. Black Mirror is awesome. There is charm and a unique aura in each episode.

So, going to summarize what we know from this episode. 1. Gaap is an actual demon name lifted from old texts, listed as a prince of hell. 2. Gaap lies, by his own admission. 2. Laura is the actual name of the daughter of the first victim. 3. The novel Smiley's people is from 1979 and deals with a spy hiding his unstable daughter in a mental facility under a false identity. She's telling her handlers the truth which no one believes because they think she's insane. She's just the macguffin of the novel which is really about a struggle between two old spies. Just based on above, we can conclude Gaap is real since his existence isn't something we see that she would have a way to have knowledge of, and since he gives her knowledge the show independently confirms for us. The novel is the easter egg to let us know she's unstable but not psychotic. But Gaap being real doesn't mean that everything we see is real, because Gaap is a demon and Gaap lies. My theory: Gaap is actually a prince in hell who once the talisman received anointing, was able to convince this woman to invite him. At that point she was doomed. He assumed a form to disarm her, then proceeds to corrupt her in order to claim her soul. He lied about armageddon but does tell her the truth about people while enticing her to murder them. At the end, he lies a final time to get her to surrender herself to him completely. It's actually wild watching not a single reviewer consider this possibility. They all are either on the "all an hallucination" or "all true" trains, but neither of those conclusions work.

This feels better than the most hyped and popular breakdown. Not fond of the need to unpack things so much that what is originally intended to be received becomes completely vacated. The one facet that the aforementioned breakdown doesnt account for is how none of her hallucinations have an effect on what others see and react to. Her killing are very real just as the apocalypse is. The biggest easter egg is, the episode is literally over after everyone witnesses and reacts to the apocalypse.

This scene is in more than one episode

I think a lot of people missed the twist on this one. As others stated I think both Gaap is real but also the apocalypse is fake since there was already one line missing in the talisman meaning someone already failed but the world is still there. Also since Gaap could see the future he knew she would fail, and consequently he knew that the world wouldn't end so his mission all along was just to seem friendly and make it seem like everything was lost just so that she would accept giving up her soul. There's also the fact that if this episode is set in the same universe as the others then clearly the world didn't end... Doesn't really make sense being in her head since she's given real information that we see reflected in other episodes. What makes this episode so great is that they made the girl give herself to an abusive liar demon seem really cute and people fell for it, but there was no relationship at all... He was just fooling her to get her soul, come on guys what do demons do? What about this premise of demon and human teaming up to stop the apocalypse? Bonkers Also that scene where he calls someone to get the rules? Okay... that seemed explicitly fishy, at least for me... We know he can control what she sees based on the visions he gave her so he could have been much more scary and horror-like if he wanted but I guess it's just easier being the "friendly" ghost as we saw. Could also be that he exploits people's weaknesses and her, being surrounded with racism and apathy by most people, just wanted a friend or some company and he became that for sure... Guess who fell for the devil's trick just because he seemed friendly?

I don't think the end of the world means literally end of human race, it simply means an apocalyptic event of world wide destruction that leaves the world in widespread chaos and devastation where the human population would be greatly reduced but not necessarily fully annihilated... I think the things that happen are not her imagination but a multiverse thing where how the world progress depends on the devil's interfering manipulation of someone like her ... there must have been many alternate realities thats happened before thats why the devil has knowledge everyone's futures as those same lives has played out before in another alternate parallel universe ... My view is that the devils are trying to manipulate events to guide the world to another kind of reality of their preference. You see, the nuclear devastation that the devil is trying to avoid happening is not necessarily worse than what the world would be if the nuclear disaster did not happen ... there has to be something worse than a nuclear disaster if the devils are to succeed (yes, they are evil as can be seen by how they would prefer she does not murder the racist politician) ... Black Mirror's universe is probably a multiverse, multi- parallel realities type of existence ... remember an earlier episode with the space astronauts in the 1960s with advanced technology of being able to transfer their minds to inhabit a physical replica of themselves on earth while they are in outer space ... thats not based on our reality's 1960s technology, so its like an alternate reality parallel universe to ours ...

They saw what happened exactly like she warned them. If the nukes launched exactly as Midnight like she predicted, they wouldn't start scorching London until a few minutes afterwards anyway. Nida & Gaap called it exactly how it went....for real. The episodes tries to trick you by giving clues about her psychotic mental illness and overimagination to keep you second-guessing all the way up until the end when it does a total bait and switch at the very last scence.

I thought this was the best episode of this season, the black comedy, the social commentary etc, and a satisfying ending. I liked the way that what seems logical to us following her journey seems absolutely bonkers when she recounts it in the police interview.

I think it’s because Smart would be a great influence in the future. Gaap mentioned himself that because his future shows “death and war” he would be a great evil prospect of the future. I think the symbol of his campaign are shown in other episodes from other seasons that are already in the future so to speak, as well as being the symbol of the talisman. Either he’s been working for an evil entity all this time or he’s going to in a future time. That’s why I think they don’t want Nida to mess with him and also I think Nida had been hallucinating all that time or If the Nukes happened, Smart was notified of the latter and was able to save himself somehow. You know how “governments” have bunkers everywhere for specific people and situations…

worth mentioning...if you noticed the first line of the first & last song playing in this episode "Is it a kind of dream?"... everything that happened could be because of the power of the 'mind' or could just be 'all in her mind'. The line on that song, the book she's reading titled "Creative Visualization" prior to all this, the anger hallucinations affirming she has a lot of things going on her mind, her mother being mentioned having mental illness... (plus other clues) it was all put there for a reason and not by accident... and it all ends up with even the viewers questioning... is it real or not? i think that's the appeal of this episode.. you may think either way and it's open for one's own interpretation... it talks about the power of the mind.. is there really an untouched part of our mind that can manifest reality, summon a demon or even predict the future? (mind being a human part thats been studied over and over but still cannot be fully comprehended by technology up to this day). i do believe that's the objective of this episode... (your own take like bandersnatch).... Is it like a dream/imagination? or is it a 'reality' driven by unknown capabilities of the mind (unexplored from old times even to the latest technology today)... id still go with the demon and the apocalypse being ALL IN HER MIND...

What a fantastic freaking episode. This is what you call television mind candy. Throwing everything at the wall and it stick. I hope I can find a breakdown of this episode on KZread because my words won't do it justice. From the music soundtrack, the 2 leads, the cast, the setting; loved every element of it. Nida could have easily been a serial killer's victim she was so small and mouse like but she had a raging demon inside. It seem like she was about to be swallowed up by life until she took control and became the actual killer. I love the politician Michael Smart who give out big time Damien from the Omen vibes and a matching Dead Zone type possible future. By far the best Black Mirror episode in years #BlackMirror #demon79

Great summary!

I hope Nida went with Gaap into oblivion, just bc he was so dang cool. I really must say, after what I thought was a lacklustre season 5 and the irredeemable horror that was Bandersnatch (IMHO), Black Mirror has made a course correction and returned to form. I enjoyed season 6 very much, with Demon 79 being my favourite out of all the episodes offered. If they can keep it up, I hope we get a season 7!!

In my case, I had severe depression few years back and had imagined things while I was fully awake and conscious. I only realized those imagery were products of my imagination afterwards. Our minds are scary...

You can only show the delussion of a character through his or her point of view. When we see the bombs falling from the point of view of everyone else its implied its real.

But that ending scene with those police's perspective lasted for few seconds they didn't have the long conversation, she might be imagining from her perspective coz she couldn't see what was happening, she was handcuffed and her room doesn't have windows.

I felt the same. Gaap introduction reminded Ryuk first appearance. This episode must be Netflix apologie after that DN diagraceful adaptation.

The Three Crowns Pub has address number 2426. 2+4=6. 4+2=6 and 6. 666. It's also clever that the Pub is named "Three Crowns" as reference to the Catholic Papal Tiara - which has three tiers of crowns. Each tier represent the realms of existence: Human, Celestial, Terrestrial realms. (Side tidbit: The Papacy historically has been known for its three forces: Religious, Military, Political - themes of the episode).

I kinda hope she’s in oblivion lol it just seems like the perfect ending

Before you say it in the video my theory as to why there’s only one line missing from the talisman when she finds it is because possets, the founder of the shoe store and the previous owner of the talisman, couldn’t bring himself to kill anyone which is why he killed himself, which in turn counted as a murder and took one of the lines away. I’m sure you’re going to say this also but wanted to see if I’m right 😂

True because the demon he had probably didn’t take a form like Gaap did so it could run crazy if you see it was one murder that’s store owner or if he killed 3 ppl not knowing that they already where killer he killed himself because it was all got nothing he still have this demon on his back do he kill himself or pray away the demon but didn’t get rid of the stuff

Liked the same video twice!!! How exciting!!😂😅

Nida was reading a book titled "creative visualization". Maybe all thos was just in her head?

This was my favorite episode out of the entire series. I love it how Nida's eyes turn gray just like when people put on thise head tab to play games in season 5. I love how Gaap looks at himself in the TV instead of a mirror. I think seeing the world BEFORE tech took over proves that people are the ones that complicate A LOT of things. Also kinda cool to see demons real, meaning there must be some angels out there too.

Also should be noted the song he was singing "Rasputin' was written about TGrigori Rasputin, a friend and advisor of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his family during the early 20th century.

While I don't like that Black Mirror went supernatural, it was the comic relief I needed after the "Beyond the Sea" episode.

If GAAP could see the future then he knew that Nida wasn’t gonna be successful so maybe his plan from the start was to take her soul and the world didn’t end.

i believe this as well. he is a demon so they have no reason to *really* stop the apocalypse. maybe they wanted him to corrupt someone/to increase the number of evil people on earth. also, i don’t think it’s necessarily *the* future. i think he’s just able to simulate events.

After watching the whole season I just realized that the Demon 79 episode is really in her head due to the many Easter eggs we come across throughout the season especially for Michael Smart, news paper articles and StreamBerry as references for the Prime Minister. Otherwise he wouldn't have been a PM had there been a nuclear war at the end of the episode. Edit: Or it could be a multiverse saga?😂😂

@@KissyAdair Oh, okay that makes sense then. I guess it's safe to say that there are parallel universes in Black Mirror.

I liked that the plot twist in this episode was actually the fact that there is no plot twist in this episode because all I've been thinking about while watching the episode was "what would be the final plot twist that breaks my mind?" but actually no plot twist broke my mind

I loved it this really felt like the quality of great story’s we get from black mirror. Maybe because it felt charcter driven. I wish I could of seen more but still happy It happened. That’s the feeling black mirror does best. Not living to become a villain. Ending young and beautiful not overdone which is how the other episodes felt. They where 20 minutes episodes dragged into hour long nothingness.

When Nida found the talisman, there were only two lines on it. Once Gaap starts explaining, he talks about three lines on the talisman (3 murders), which we can also see on the talisman. The question is why there were only two lines the moment Nida took the Talisman - shouldn't the world have ended earlier ? ( because as it is mentioned in this video - it could mean that " owner" of the talisman before Nida failed, but the last owner was Mr. Possett....

@mrjonsey

6 ай бұрын

I think the person who had it before only needed two kills. Each person that bonds with the talisman adds another line. After Nida there would’ve been four lines. That’s just my theory.

Maybe it was mentioned in the last upload, but @ 5:56, the Three Crowns and the 24*26 on the pub building may allude to the biblical verse of Luke 24:26, where it references the Three Crowns of Jesus - King, Priest, and Prophet, and the three temptations of Christ. Disregard if this was mentioned elsewhere. :D

This was the most Black Mirror episode cause the more you analyze it the more you can go either way with it really happening as a Black mirror way or it all being in her head like in a black mirror way lol

my interpretation was that the entirety of black mirror was a “could be” like how gaap could see the future as it was before something happened (like seeing that laura killed herself at 28, and then her future changed after her dad died), so this episode voided the entirety of the series because the world ended. so none of the events in the black mirror universe happened because the world ended before it could. my theory only really works if season six is the final season, which idk if it is or not. but that’s just a theory. also your interpretation makes sense too, and if honestly more depressing so it’s probably the correct one

worth mentioning...if you noticed the first line of the first and last song playing in this episode "Is it a kind of dream?"... everything that happened could be because of the power of the 'mind' or could just be 'all in her mind'. The line on that song, the book she's reading titled "Creative Visualization" prior to all this, the hallucinations affirming she has a lot of things going on her mind, her mother being mentioned having mental illness... (plus other clues) it was all put there for a reason and not by accident... and it all ends up with even the viewers questioning... is it real or not? i think that's the appeal of this episode.. you may think either way and it's open for one's own interpretation... it talks about the power of the mind.. is there really an untouched part of our mind that can summon a demon or predict the future? (mind being a human part thats been studied over and over but still cannot be fully comprehended by technology up to this day). i do believe that's the objective of this episode... (your own take like bandersnatch).... Is it like a dream/imagination? or is it a 'reality' driven by unknown capabilities of the mind ( from 1979 even to the latest technology today)... in the end... "it's all up to one's mind" ... clever 😊

On it's own it's God But Not as a black mirror episode this is one of the worst episode this season. Like WTF is happening? smh

Weirdly enough, I just fall for the whole thing and find the apocalypse ending wholesome by Black Mirror standard, eternal oblivion and all. Sometimes you just want to see the world burn with all the mistreatment I guess.

my theory is that it's likely one of the realities inside the quantum computer, or it has something to do with that. specially because the demon felt like he was in a program, a conscious program.

for anyone who was confused what's the connection between this episode and tech and Sci-Fi based theme of the series well this episode is about alternative universes in our universe there was no nuclear war following the cold war but we were close. in this episode's universe it just happened and she just saw it coming, probably she was hallucinating believing that she'd stop the war if she killed some people.

The Gap does not have reasonable priced clothing, but I dig the rest of your review!

Nida turned into a Dark Souls boss when she hopped out the car with that hammer and that music lol

I really like the music in this episode

0:55 - Yes, Bright Eyes was a song written for Watership Down, the 1978 animated film but you got the meaning wrong. It is essentially an exploration of the concept of death and ties in with Demon 79 even better than you supposed it does.

I just think it was all in her imagination as simple as that sounds bc of the visualization book she was reading. The killings did happen but the demon was a figment of her imagination .

Nida and Keith’s brother’s “fight” was very much giving “Brigit Jone’s Diary”🤣🤣🤣

I hate when a story’s premise and/or ending is based on “it’s all in his/her head”. It’s been done before, and imo if you’ve seen it once you’ve seen it a thousand times. And yet everyone seemingly gushes over this device. Like they’ve just comprehended some deep philosophical proposal.

Yo ur theory bout nida being cray is actually kinda dope

they're not hallucinations, people don't just hallucinate for 4 seconds and then go back to normal with no reaction and a smile on their face. She was consciously fantasizing, hence the book she was reading. She does however react very strongly to the things that actually happened, which indicates to me that she could tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

I realized the shape of stone and symbols that related with season 2 which led me researching this, found you but you have not the answers i seek maybe i should search about season 2 episode which is in the future most likely have more answers

I was like, "is that the girl from We Are Lady Parts"? It sure is! I hope to see more of her!

I really enjoyed this episode. I think that Nida is walking with Gap in Oblivion in peace because oblivion can be subjective. It could be a safe haven compared to what she had dealt with in the real world. While the world is being blown away by nuclear weapons, Nida and Gap safe and together.

Nida went to the eternal oblivion of her own mind. And shout to the use of Boney M's Ma Baker when Nida became a full fledged slayer.

The 70s looking film grain is absent in the police interview, and the scene's colours and lighting are much more artificial - visually suggesting that it's not real. I liken the ending to Total Recall, with the fade to white suggesting an awakening. The lyrics 'is it a dream' from an alarm clock radio ( hint hint) are also a clue. Like Total Recall, everything that happens is based on something she's already seen. The red leather jacket is worn by famous imaginary antagonist Tyler Durden, who also encourages the main character to carry out their darkest fantasies like Gaap does here.

My favorite episode!❤

I actually liked this one. Dont enjoy the “its all in her head” breakdown. When did any of her hallucinations have an effect on what others saw?! if thats the case theyd all also see and react Gaap, just as they see and react to the apocalypse. After her hallucinations all goes back to normal, her demon incited killings are very real. And so the biggest easter egg is, the episode is literally over after everyone witnesses the apocalypse.

I mean in other shows people discuss all the time things which are clearly shown or told in the show but they miss it or are just dumb. Everything was real this epsiode. She is not crazy. Its just how it is she couldn prevent and stop it from happening. She failed because she is still too human.

You really need to listen what Gaap says and observe what he does: 1) Turning himself into her favourite singer to seduce her trust 2) "Murderers don't count." 3) "They won't be happy if you'd kill Michael Smart." 4) Unbothered by failed mission All these points reveal that Gaap is lying/ hiding things from Nida. If Nida killed Smart, many bad things won't happen and the demons won't be happy with it. = demons want bad things to happen. So why does Gaap bother to prevent WWIII? Answer: He doesn't. The Apocalypse thingy was a lie. Why don't murderers count?? Because they'll go to hell anyways. And Gaap didn't seem quite bothered when he is about to go to eternal oblivion. Why? Because he will not stay there for eternity. But Nida will. That was what it was all about. He lied and pressured her to kill in order to get her soul into oblivion (hell). And for the last scene with the dropping bombs - it was probably one of Nidas halucinations to make her actions more justifyable for herself. What do you think of my theory?

It tries to make you forget that he is a demon ehich is an entity of evil origin. She begins to embrace the demon to the point she chooses to join him in the void after he failed his trial. Now it ends there but use your imagination for a second. A demon that shapes ìts self into a friendly face takes you to rhe eternal void with him what does that enable the demon to do? It will punish, torture qnd torment Nida for eternity it doesnt show that in the show but you csn imagine that is what is going to happen. She forgets he is a demon and accepts going to the void with him. But either way she murdered people so she is going to hell anyway. He put her in a messed up situation in every way. The demon did what demons do.

this might be my favorite episode of the season

I think this episode symbolized the beginning of the "apocalypse" as the Black Mirror Universe knew it. . . Hence, if you watch all of the episodes, you begin to wonder where things began to take a turn toward the dystopia with Robot Dogs roaming and killing people etc, with Technology beginning to be used by humans in less innocent ways. In Beyond the Sea episode, the purpose of body suits so that astronauts could be with their families is relatively innocent (on its surface) compared to the future uses of technology in numerous other episodes.

Nida ended up with Gaap in oblivion. Happily ever after. ❤

Is it seems only to me that Gaap is from GAP and Baal us from Balanciaga ? And u know both brand situation now
