- Thread starter Schmack
- Start date
Ha. I just watched it and the Aaron Paul character at the end is definitely in this game.
Zarek Null lol
shhh , everytime that name gets mentioned a sidewinder explodes in erevate. i havent seen any black mirror episodes but i do like some of charlie brooker' work.
If you have Netflix, watch Black Mirror, Season 4 episode 1 and tell me that's not Elite Dangerous (except the obvious TV show reference).
So who at FD is this about? Hmmmm?
I thought it more like star citizen, esp
Since it was based around a games company with a reclusive CTO with a messiah complex and who kept delaying the launch to implement new features..
Yep That will be ED 1 day just remember not to be playing during updates lol
Great, just finished Zombie Nation (really liked it!)! I'll check it out!

They had space legs, i think it was better than ED
.
Just the last five minutes or so, with them being 'online', obnoxious Todd's 'King of space...' line, and just the graphics, with that Milky Way and everything, was enough to make me say, 'It's Elite'. And that was satisfying in itself.
Of course, much of what came before was very different, and the episode was less about the MMP technology than 'at gods', when total control over their environment goes to their heads. That applies to anyone with any power on the internet, as I've had plenty of experience with. 'USS Callister' was Phllip Zimbardo all over.

Never mind space legs, THEY HAD BOOZE THEY COULD ACTUALLY DRINK!
Priorities, people.
Serious guys? This one stinks so much for Season one- Enterprise, isn't it?
I mean look at the uniforms, the style, the bridge...really liked it!
edit: ok, just read the OPs 'obvious TV show reference'...move on, nothing to see here!

I suspect Brooker had that in mind, as he's pretty clued up with his gaming/sc-fi lore. In one fell swoop, the crew's game experience goes from one developer's archaic vision of a franchise to a more modern iteration. Sure, 'Enterprise' was not as successful as its predecessors, but being closest to us chronologically, it felt more believable. Ironically, the many knowing winks to the future may be what led to its cancellation, and it should have tried to be more '****ing cool'.Serious guys?

And having 'Your Mother' in the captain's chair was '***ing cool, too, after they killed her off in the very last minutes of the 'HIMYM' finale...
Meant to add this review (spoilers!)

And there's talk of 'USS Callister' getting 'its own spinoff'. Not sure how I feel about that, if it's just the series as imagined by Daly. How would that be sustainable?
People seem to forget that a lot of the characters on 'Black Mirror' are actually 'just' computer programs, copied from actual people. Far more sophisticated than anything current, sure, and I'm reminded of what 'Bill' says in the Dr Who Xmas special, that if she has all Bill Pott's memories, isn't she Bill Potts? And does a transporter create a duplicate, while killing the original? I was criticised on another forum for suggesting that the Hosts in 'West World' have no right to life, and indeed aren't truly alive just because they are so convincing in appearance and behaviour. But I'd love to see more of these well portrayed artificial lifeforms in 'Black Mirror'. Wonder if Brooker (who's on 'Desert Island Discs' this Sunday) has read Terry Pratchett's 'Only You Can Save Mankind'?

Personally, I am outraged by the false information that this broadcast is spreading. First of all, everyone knows that *I* am the King of Space, not this other guy.
Beyond that, a mere moment's thought will reveal that the King of Space doesn't trade. If you own *all* of space, then you already own all of the trade goods within it. Thus, the notion that the King of Space would even need to trade to begin with is clearly absurd. So he couldn't have *actually* been the King of Space.
