Michaela Coel continues to bless us. She’s discovered that some people have taken to using this image of her character from the Black Mirror episode, “USS Callister,” for reactions and memes. And so she responded to one user by tweeting the image back at him and writing, “When becoming a meme was the 2018 goal you never knew you had.” Sometimes, just sometimes, fan-celebrity interactions on Twitter can be excellent.

However, this may have been a question of the camera’s flash, and sites are still awaiting comment from Disney on the matter. You can read more over at Polygon.
