‘Black Mirror: USS Callister’ Recap: What to Remember Before the Sequel
A reuniting adventure with the crew of the USS Callister is imminent in “Black Mirror.”
The first entry – “USS Callister” – aired back in 2017 as the Netflix show’s Season 4 premiere. The entry immediately jumped to the top of most fan’s rankings of best “Black Mirror” episodes and has stayed there since. A sequel to the popular episode seemed likely and Season 7 is finally delivering the goods.
But what happened in the “Star Trek” inspired first outing of the Callister? Here’s what you need to remember before diving into the sequel – “USS Callister: Into Infinity” – when Season 7 premieres.
Who Is Robert Daly?
At the beginning of the episode, Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons) comes off as the William Shatner-esque captain of the USS Callister. But it isn’t long before Daly’s confident captain persona is revealed to be a farce, part of the lifelike simulation he’s running.
