This one is flagged RUN, don't walk! If you are any kind of science fiction fan – or especially any kind of a Star Trek fan, you owe it to yourself to immediately drop what you're doing and bring up the Netflix series Black Mirror, which just dropped its 4th Season. Black Mirror is an anthology show, so you don't need to have ever watched a single episode or have the slightest idea what it's about. Think The Twilight Zone, for a bit of a reference point. Cue up the first episode (of season 4), titled USS Callister. Prepare to be amazed. Starring the fantastic Jesse Plemons, this is easily one of the best hours of televised science fiction I've seen in ages. AGES.
Let's just say that on the surface, you're being treated to the most knowing riff on the United Federation of Planets you've ever seen. But that's just the welcome mat. If you are in fact a big Star Trek fan, you may need some counseling after this. No spoilers here, but DO. NOT. MISS. THIS.
