I thought the same, although Chris O'Dowd isn't as old as I thought he was, I could have sworn he was in his 50's. I didn't think that part of the story added much to the plot either.
I think killing himself online was more for the audience to drive home the point that people would pay to see literally anything, but I agree his character probably wouldn't have done that.

He's a rough looking 45, honestly. He must have been a baby on the IT Crowd.

I think the point of it was to illustrate how a lot of modern couples can’t afford to have a kid

There's that, and also if you use a streaming/subscriber type business model in health care it will be or would be dehumanizing.

He was probably paid ahead of time to afford the 30 Lux boost. He had probably decided to kill himself anyway.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

Loved it. And it's not too far fetched.

Definitely and I was also glad Chris O'Dowd kept his accent and didn't go all American!

Is it that Star Trek type one which is a sequel to that other Star Trek type one?
If so I need to watch the first one again first because I’ve forgotten nearly all of it.

It is not.

That’s strange. I was positive that they would have had that eppy first in order to ‘GET ‘EM HOOKED’ as they say in the south of France…

I haven't made it thru the entire episode but what I watched left me feeling claustrophobic

I guess in an uncomfortable way?
Ever had novacaine? When your face starts to wake up sometimes you feel an itch…but you're still too numb to feel the relief of the scratch? It's like that. Watching people in tight restrictive situations…when portrayed well…makes me feel like I'm in a tight restrictive situation. It feels like being buried alive. I guess I have a pretty awesome suspension of disbelief.
All I know is Diana ross's daughter woulda got smoked!

Ah okay, I think I see what you're getting at, imagine knowing that you can't leave a certain area
There was the irony that she got to live longer but they didn't see one another because she was sleeping and he was working all of the time.
BTW THAT was Diana Ross' daughter? I didn't know that. Quincy Jones daughter was the wife!
Have you seen The Descent?

Will I need to watch the first Star Trek like episode again to refresh my memory or will I be ok? Like does it have a ‘previously on’?

I don't know Ricky as I'm only 3 episodes in and haven't got to the Star Trek type one yet.
I hope they do a "Previously on…" though, that would be tops!

Oh…I assumed that the Star Trek episode sequel would be the first one in the season to GET ‘EM HOOKED as they say.
