Black Mirror: Every Major Plot Twist Ranked From Worst To Best
13. The Callister Crew Make It Out Alive - U.S.S. Callister
U.S.S. Callister plays with the usual Black Mirror format in many ways. Chiefly, you could say its big twist occurs only 15 minutes in, as the Kirk-like Captain Daly is revealed to be the villain of the piece. It's eventual final development, then, isn't so much of a rug pull but still comes as a surprise: the crew of the Callister make it out alive!
Throughout the episode, the crew believe the only way out of their 60s sci-fi hell is by flying into a wormhole and killing themselves. However, they actually manage to make it out of Daly's pocket universe intact and are free to explore the Infinity virtual reality. Cue the call for a spin-off.
