Where are we all at with season seven?

At least the season was saving its best for last.

It felt like the beginning of a dangerous new adventure.

All of these characters are back in some form in the sequel except for Coel (forscheduling reasons).

Shania learned that the hard way.

Months have passed since Dalys death, but Nanette still feels guilty even though she wasnt responsible.

After listening in on the meeting, Nanette offers to help identify the bandits using Kabirs complaint log.

In her research, she sees a recent report from a player named Pixie.

Out there, the two Nanette-Walton pairs meet and return to theCallister, where they catch each other up.

Nan, meanwhile, is resentful and jealous of the life Nanette gets to have on the outside.

This is all very reminiscent of the Innie-Outie conflicts inSeverance, except far more straightforward.

(InSeveranceparlance, this is reintegration.)

He was just fucking with her; he can do both.

Her resistance does not go over well with this overgrown child who desperately wants a companion.

While all this is happening, theCallistercrew is dealing with problems of equal urgency.

Well, Nan was able to return to her old body after all.

Besides, that was an all-timer in theBlack Mirrorcanon, a high bar to clear.

The Metallica scene is amusing, but I particularly like the massive ship staring at them.

Case in point: Want me to kill your clone and then you kill mine?

Oh my God, youre right.

It would be so much more cathartic if we kill ourselves.

Funny throwaway moment: Walton curiously feels inside the (likely sticky) hole in Walts rock buddy.

The clone of Packer is apparently leading the ship now, completing his arc from intern to captain.

Good for him, though theres not much captaining to do right now.
