Comment: @OlifanofmrTennant: The episode is not "'inspired by' Black Mirror", the source states nothing about inspiration and neither does the article, so please stop adding it here and in the article. ภץאคгöร 10:04, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Approving ALT1 and ALT2, with preference towards ALT2. Article is long enough and was moved to mainspace a day before DYK nomination. Article is presentable, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. ALT1 and ALT2 are both interesting and sourced, though I found ALT2 more interesting. ALT0 not approved due to above reason. QPQ done. Thank you for the nomination TheDoctorWho and Olifanofmrtennant - Kimikel (talk) 01:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
