Black Mirror: Every Major Plot Twist Ranked From Worst To Best

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.
