San Junipero

San Junipero is one of my favorite Black Mirror episodes! It starts off with Yorki and it's her first night in San Junipero. She goes into a bar/dance club called Tucker's and is just looking around. She spots the arcade part of the club and starts playing a game. She doesn't take any care in the guy at the club but while sitting in a booth a girl name Kelly shows up. She seems to show a strong interest in Kelly but gets overwhelmed whenever they dance for the first time. Kelly shows the same sort of interest and asks Yorki to come with her to her house. They know that they are both tourists and can only stay until midnight. After a while Kelly visits Yorki and marries her instead of Greg doing it so that she can have Yorki pass over. Eventually Kelly dies as well and they live in San Junipero together. But I wonder what it would be like years down the line. Will it get boring? Will people start to get sick of each other? There are plenty of questions but we like to think it ends happily considering this is one of the happier episodes.
