It’s hard to believe that we first met the crew of the USS Callister back in late 2017. The Black Mirror episode was a dark parody of the Star Trek universe where one twisted employee trapped the DNA clones of other employees in his make believe world. It was a typical twisted warning about technology in a way that one Black Mirror can deliver.
Well, the USS Callister crew is back in season 7 of the series in a new episode called “USS Callister: Into Infinity.” It do not want to give too much away, but most of your favorite characters have returned – both copies.
Some critics are skeptical about the returning episode, claiming the creators of Black Mirror have run out of ideas, yet I bet many will agree that it was a great idea back in 2017, and catching up with our old friends is fun.
A lot has changed in the real world with the rise of AI, so the central plot may be a bit out of date, but that make it more of a retro future, if that makes sense.
If you forget some of the first episode, check out this recap from Netflix.
And if you still want more, don’t worry, there is a chance that a third episode will be produced to complete the trilogy at some point, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
So sit back and enjoy the second episode. We can only hope we don’t need to wait another 7-8 years for the final episode to drop.
Note: Check out this video from Netflix as well showing the actors returning to the set for the second episode so many years later.
