I just saw the episode, USS Callister, and that was damn good. It's better than a fucking movie. Well most of the crap they show in theaters anyway. Dayum, I missed out on this show. It started in 2011. And it's on netflix. Check it out if you haven't, and indulge in some dark sci fi.


For those that have seen the show:

What other episodes you recommend? And what you think of the episode, USS Callister?

Most of us here have seen it, there's a big thread about it for discussion. White Christmas is my favourite episode.

Or Twilight Zone if you want to go back further to the original idea.

Liked some episodes of Black Mirror, USS Callistor is one of my favs. too.

Just watching Twilight Zone, the original one. Just finished season one and I love it. This show was realy ahead of it's time.

There are a handful of good episodes, but they're mostly shit.

It's a modern version of the twilight zone. The latest season was mostly terrible, only a handful of episodes even worth watching. I'm hoping it picks back up, but I'm guessing they're running low on material.

I was pretty hyped when I found this show about a year ago though, binged through all of it super fast and I did love a handful of episodes.

Some episodes are great but some are mediocre.

USS Callister is one of the great ones. Superb acting and it added a lot more humor than most episodes which I loved.

I wouldn't call it a great show but it kept me entertained.

Actually agree...

It was an entertaining episode, but it was complete fucking bullshit. Guy is insulted and talked down to constantly at work and he needs an escape. He finds a not so healthy way of going about this, but it harms no one other than fucking lines of code that he himself created. Punishment didn't fit the crime in the end was all.

It was one of the better episodes of the latest season, but the latest season sucked ass.
