The episode starred Jesse Plemons as that reclusive computer programmer, Robert Daly, who recreated Star Trek in an online video game using his co-worker’s DNA to clone them in the digital world. Daly is bitter toward his co-workers in the real world, so in the digital, he sets himself up as Captain Kirk and leads them on all kinds of missions, but as this is Black Mirror, “things took an unexpected and sinister turn.”
“The USS Callister will be sailing back into our reality… with or without Captain Robert Daly,” teased Netflix’s geek site, Tudum.
The site continued, “Captain Robert Daly may have died in the original episode, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning…”

What is Black Mirror?
Black Mirror is Charlie Brooker’s dark, satirical anthology series which reinvents itself with each new episode.
“I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another, and keep surprising people — and myself — or else what’s the point? It should be a series that can’t be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself,” Booker, the writer, creator and executive producer said, when Season 6 was announced.
Created and written by Brooker, Black Mirror taps into our collective unease with the modern world and each stand-alone episode is a sharp, suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia. Without questioning it, technology has transformed all aspects of our lives; in every home; on every desk; in every palm – a plasma screen; a monitor; a Smartphone – a Black Mirror reflecting our 21st Century existence back at us.
