There have been a few hints throughout Charlie Brooker’s hit series Black Mirror that suggest that each stand-alone episode might, in fact, take place in the same universe. For example, an advert for “Hot Shot”, the show introduced in 15 Million Merits appears as an advert in The Waldo Moment and a sticker of Waldo appears in Shut Up and Dance.
The latest season, however, drops several easter eggs which suggest that the stories do all take place in the same world. The horrifying season finale “Black Museum” gives us multiple Black Mirror References via Rolo Haynes museum of technological crimes. Here is a list of 7 easter eggs from Black Museum you probably missed.
“White Bear”
Upon entering the museum, there is an of the child killer Victoria Skillane from “White Bear” in Season 2.
“Playtest”
A copy of Saito’s Harlech Shadow game is one of the exhibits. Saito is the game creator who was testing that horrific psychological thriller game in season 3.
“Shut Up and Dance”
A much less obvious reference is Rolo’s lab rats who are named after the main characters ‘Kenny and Hector’ in Shut Up and Dance.
“Hated in the Nation”
One of the mechanical bees from this episode is on display.
“USS Callister”
Tommy’s lollipop, a container of Raiman’s milk, and Daly’s DNA scanner are all on display.
“Arkangel”
The broken tablet that Sara used to attack her mother is on display.
“Crocodile”
One of the displays contains a blood-splattered bathtub, not dissimilar from the one appears in Crocodile during one of Nish’s murders.
