Black mirror seas 4 ep 5

This episode didn’t really have a lot in it? It started out with these three people driving together and they get to a wearhouse. One guy is trying to hyjack a truck to drive while the other two are getting something for someone. He guy inside gets hit by a bullet and dies while she gets hit by a tracker. She runs out and tells the other guy they need to go. They dive for 5 minutes before he’s killed and she’s left on her own. The next 20 minutes is her running from the dog thing that’s trying to kill her. She then finds this house with a car and breaks in to find the keys. The dog is able to find her because she cut the tracker out of her leg and left a trail of blood. In the house she finds a gun and shoots he robot. The robot dies but before it fully dies it shoots out trackers all into her. She does into the bathroom to take them all out but one hit her throat so she can’t. She messages the group she’s leaving begins and then kills herself. We find out at the end of the episode that the replacement she was trying to find was a teddy bear for a guy who was going to die. This episode was short. And not very interesting.

Numbers equal destiny?

If James had to pass any class without lifting a finger, it would be Arithmancy. No matter how hard he tries to wrap his head around it, the subject makes no bloody sense. He tried it, in his early years, just for fun when he heard others talking about it and he could not make sense of a single thing. However, he chalked this up to his young age and lack of knowledge by not previously taking the class. After all, he was not much for learning through text, he did much better through demonstration or at least after it was explained. 

Once he had finally entered the course, in his fifth year, they spent the first few lessons discussing the Chain Rule and he just could not make sense of what they were being taught. Compound functions and treating inner variables as functions or functions as variables and multiplying them by a derivative or something along those lines. They may as well be written in ancient Sanskrit, backwards, and upside down because he could not make one lick of sense of any of it. He only passed by the skin of his teeth. For some reason he has decided to take it again in his seventh year, his most stressful year. Count on a Gryffindor not to back down from a challenge, whether it adds unneeded stress or not. Maybe he should look into getting his hands on some Felix Felicis.
