I didn't mind White Christmas. It had good moments, but there were a few things I didn't like.
I don't understand why someone would get a copy of their mind made so that a 'mini me' can supervise menial tasks than can be easily automated. It seems like a complicated, expensive and cruel procedure (cruel for the clearly 'self aware' mini copy) without any real benefit.
How a man who knew/thought his ex was carrying his child / had given birth to his child wouldn't attempt to see his child by going through the courts, is beyond me.
I thought the identity reveal of the child was obvious.
I don't think punishing criminals by blocking them and highlighting them in red would work in the real world, for fairy obvious reasons if you think about it for more than 5 seconds (vigilante attacks, the complete lack of ability for the criminal to integrate and communicate with others in day to day situations). It's a cool idea but something as fundamentally flawed as this takes something away from the episode for me.
Although not totally unrealistic, I'm not sure if a reasonable person would put a consciousness - with the ability to experience and suffer - through that hell at the end of the episode. We're not talking about a man who committed a brutal, premeditated murder. Anyone would have sympathy with his story.
All of that said, I still enjoyed the episode enough to give it 6 out of 10.
