Black Mirror (USS Callister)

"I see four lights." "No. There are five." -exchange from "Star Trek: The Next Generation"

 

Like "San Junipero" (the best film of 2016), "USS Callister" (the best film of 2017) is best approached with as little spoiled about it as possible. What's safe to say is that the episode's commentary on entitled nerd culture hits honest and true, that this is easily "Black Mirror" at its most manically comic, and that Cristin Milioti deserves an Emmy for making a difficult role look easy. "Black Mirror" has never done a sequel episode, but I'm dying for a round two of this.
