The Star Trek-esque episode is entirely thrilling as it “acts as a study of public personas and private realities,” says Kayla Cobb. “There are very few shows or even episodes that can stand as works of art worthy of being critically dissected as well as fun adventure epics,” she adds. “Director Toby Haynes‘ episode, which equally nods to Star Trek while proudly standing as the antithesis of the iconic series, is one of those rare things. ‘USS Callister’ should make us all question what we’re really looking for in our virtual escapes and, more importantly, why they may or may not be fit for our public image.”
