Antagonist commits horrendous act because she realizes tech can replace a laborer (pop artist). Feels like Black Mirror to me, just from the tech angle. Kinda scary idea in the Information Age that someone could use tech to monetize ideas from a creative while keeping said creative captive in a coma.
There was a real moment of tension for me when the fans tried to free her and the secondary bad guy was there. I thought bringing in the mouse tech there was a decent workaround to solve the conflict. Although the cops might have shot Miley before her speech if she had a bit more melanin. Can’t recall why they couldn’t just pull over and have Miley say “I was kidnapped and we ran that light to catch the kidnapper” gotten a ticket and kept it moving, but I probably forgot some element of the plot because it definitely wasn’t the most memorable BM episode.
