USS Callister has a brilliant subtext...
Especially when you consider what has happened to people in power recently.
Ranking of Season 4:
1. Hang the DJ
2. USS Callister
3. Black Museum
4. Crocodile
5. Arkangel
6. Metalhead

USS Callister is probably my favorite Black Mirror episode barely ahead of White Christmas

Well it's basically White Christmas in a different skin.

I've only seen USS Callister so far, but it does what I was kind of afraid of, which is repurposing past BM episodes in a different setting.

My favs are:
Black Museum
Hang the DJ
USS

So in Black Museum, Haynes is the man behind the technology for most of the episodes, right?

I found Arkangel to be quite disappointing. It's quite predictable in unraveling the consequences for the characters, and there is no way that actress is 15 years old.

Really good, possibly one of my favorite BM episodes. Plemons and Milioti gave great performances.

Arkangel
As opposed to the previous season's overall message of "fuck humanity", season 4 seems to carry the lesson "just don't be a shitty person". In this case, "don't be a horrible parent."

Crocodile
What?

Hang the DJ
This season's San Junipero, looks like. Really good.

Metalhead
Mad Max meets Terminator? I guess? I liked the way it was shot at least, looks great in 4K :shifty:


Still working on Black Museum.
