There is little doubt that Black Mirror: Bandersnatch was a thrilling experience as you decided what Stefan Butler had for breakfast or how he would deal with his father's body. Interestingly, the interactive film also featured several Easter Eggs that somehow linked the movie to previous Black Mirror episodes. Did you catch any of this?
The most obvious Easter Eggs were undoubtedly the games Colin Ritman were working on. The game MetlHedd was a reference to the episode Metalhead from Series 4 and clearly depicted the robotic guard dogs. Colin even showed off how Nohzdyve works, which was somehow a depiction of how Lacie's rating fell in the Series 3 episode Nosedive.
There's an Easter Egg that Charlie Brooker actually confirmed. The Black Mirror creator revealed that Tuckersoft would eventually become TCKR, which is the company that made the system in San Junipero from Series 3. At one point, the name Saint Juniper's Medical Practice also pops up in Bandersnatch.
Perhaps the best Easter Egg is the repetitive appearance of the glyph that Stefan keeps drawing. This isn't the first time that the symbol actually showed up in Black Mirror. It was first shown in the Series 2 episode White Bear, which might also connect it to Black Museum from the fourth series.
All these awesome Easter Eggs may somehow confirm that there is an existing Black Mirror universe and that all the episodes are somehow connected. Although Brooker refuses to confirm that there is a connection, the creator still enjoys putting in subtle references that suggest otherwise.
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is currently streaming on Netflix.
