Black Mirror’s USS Callister is a perfect metaphor for nerd culture in 2017

The escapist fantasy is based on a slavish adherence to the idiosyncrasies of the original, yes – but, crucially, an unthinking and uncritical adherence, without acknowledgement of the flaws inherent to the premise. It’s the same fundamental mentality that prompts outrage and fury at the inclusion of women or POC in Star Trek, Star Wars, or Doctor Who; the impulse to curate rather than create, the desire to maintain a static and staid world. Shaped around the ego of a single white man, this is of course a world that equates foreign with alien, denies women their sexuality, dehumanises people of colour, and never lives up the ethos and code of conduct it claims to assert.

USS Callister continues to advance its metaphor, though, and in turn posits a solution of its own. And, in turn, of course said solution comes from a woman.

A piece about Black Mirror I was quite pleased with. Something I didn’t mention at the time, but find interesting, is the fact that this episode is about exorcising toxic masculinity, and then the subsequent five episodes are all very female oriented. You can see how the order of the anthology shapes the broader meaning of the series, which is neat.

I’m Thinking of Ending Things -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This film was tricky to follow and left many thing up for interpretation; that’s the reason I liked it so much. This is definitely an art film, directed by Charlie Kaufman. It reminded me much of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, in its tone and conflict - one of Kaufman’s other significant films, starring a dreary Jim Carey. I’m Thinking of Ending Things required me to watch a explanation video to understand some of the references made. I also read the book, post-watch, which helped clarify the plot line a little bit, but it feels like Kaufman made this film more for his own entertainment, rather than an audience. Some of the references in this movie weren’t even related to the movie (or the book), and trying to find out which was what, brought challenges. When you watch this film, appreciate it for what you see and what your mind concludes. Nothing is really what it seems. I threw in an extra star for the magnificent choreography.
