Point of Origin

We're all the same, no matter where we are from, why can't we all get along?

Cool, it almost screams this at you, then there is a further 25 minutes left to watch.

This entire season seems to be so very heavy handed in its social and political messages, almost makes you feel as though you, as the audience, are being treated like a dumb dumb.

Which I'm not, my mum said I'm the smarterrest boy in skewl.

Now expoos me as I'm off for a cup of toast.

Good day sir!

Once again the new TZ lets us down. I have no problem with the issues presented on these new episodes, but why do we have to be preached to each week? The writing is once again a major problem. The original Twilight Zone was renown for its heartfelt scripts, great dialogue and clever twist endings. Not every episode had a surprise ending, but enough of them did to make that a hallmark of the show. There hasn't been a decent twist in any of the episodes of this reboot so far, and this is number 8 of the series. 'Point Of Origin', like most of the past weeks on this show telegraphs its ending long before it arrives, and the writing is so flat that in its efforts to be thought-provoking it leaves me with a big 'that's it?'. This show doesn't hold a candle to the original TZ, and pales in comparison to Black Mirror, the show that is the definitive torchbearer of the Twilight Zone legacy.

Why are they doing this... This is boring as hell. This is coming from a guy who completely agrees with the political message... I mean twilight zone use to make me energized, ready to take action, awake. This one is making me fall asleep, and on such an important topic as well. "Sigh"

This felt like the original series. The first quarter of the episode felt like they were going to go all preachy about immigration and the rich versus the poor, but they managed to move it in a direction that made a more universal point about people in general. Everyone is a stranger to everyone, and sometimes even themselves.

What could have been a great episode is ruined by yet another heavy handed message, this time immigration gets it's turn
