There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. Women. It is a dimension as vast as social justice and as timeless as feminism. It is the middle ground between sleeping and woke, between patriarchy and white cis-men, and it lies between the pit of all fears and the summit of her knowledge....
I was at first thinking, nah.. I'm just reading into it. But, then I was like - maybe not. Spoilers ahead.
What is each episode "About" not what it shows us, but what sinister motive might be hidden in plain sight? What is the MESSAGE? Remember Twilihgt Zone (TZ from now on) was sometimes a message show, not always - but back in the day it did feature some commentary on social issues, and hey, that is fine - as long as its done well, and done with you asking questions.
Let me recap what I think the message is of every episode.
The Comedian.
A male must use his own friends & family to make people laugh, when he does they die (vanish) The punchline? He can only win by killing himself.
The implication here is that comedians are only funny because they USE people, and that the only funny punchline is when they give it up. Even the woman in the end will go down that dark road. Because screw comedy it just makes fun of people.
Nightmare at 30,000 Feet.
The real monster on the plane is the two men who the woman doesn't manage to control goes insane. The male lets the other male take over the plane and it crashes into island from Lost. The podcast that was telling the males future tells him that he was the only one who didn't make it back - everyone else (other then the insane male pilot I guess who the podcast seems to have forgotten) all are really angry at him, because its his fault, and form a mob to kill him. Why? Because he ruined there flight and destroyed there belongings? I mean, really - that is all the consequence is - no one is dead, no one even looks that hurt. But they all group gang up and kill him. I guess he is a male and that is a crime enough. I would have given this a pass if Shatner had been the crazy guy to take over the plane and fly it into space or something crazy. The pod cast being from the future that although the guy plays it for the flight marshal woman - she doesn't believe him (?!) in the original the guy is seen as going crazy or is the only sane one - there isn't any other message other then weird stuff can happen. This one, I think has a message: group violence is okay ageist the male who ruined your day.
Replay.
Subtleness jumps out the window to its doom and dies a horrible death.
White cop is racist. Doesn't matter if you have magical time travel. Racists will always hate you, you can not reason with them, you can not make yourself more human to them, they will get you in the end, best be scared forever and all time and also they are unreasonable and out to get you because you are black and racist white men!!!! Black lives matter hashtag. Yeah this was those two links I put - there are more articles saying much the same. This is the most woke yet. GET IT CUSS RACISM.
A Traveler.
Aliens take over and I guess make the Native people in charge because it would be better that way. Down with the people that took the Native lands! Aliens are here to take it back for you! YAY! At least we know what happened to Glen now. He's become an alien. Sure, why not. Also he is the good guy right? I mean, he gives the land back to the Natives. Eats a pie with one. Its so good.
The Wunderkind.
The president is nothing more then a spoiled child who will kill us all via his bad choices. ORANGE MAN BAD GET IT?
Six Degrees of Freedom.
Wow, a non-message show? Wait no you'll destroy my whole hypothesis! Noooo! Well, okay so this one a guy says they are all in a test but he is mansplaining to the women leaders so they ignore him and he dies (or so they think) they land on Mars, but the whole thing is a test. Humans passed, and even the guy figured out it was a test whoa that never happens. So - wow, this has no subtext. Darn it. Lets call this one the odd one out and all agree that it needed more women. I guess you could say that putting all the women in charge is pretty woke, but that's not much of a woke. So, this episode should get much hate because of that. Try being more woke next time darn it.
Not All Men.
I think you forgot the hashtag there #notallmen - much better. So all the men go crazy due to rocks that poison the water - BUT WAIT! No the rocks don't do anything (?!) and the men are just using that as an excuse to go crazy (and have eyes turn red and get super strong, WTF?!) Anyway, one guy who is GAY decides to not let it happen, (He just doesn't become evil because you can deside to not become evil from the rocks but the rocks do not do anything real anyway but they do but they don't?!) because not all men are super evil.... just most men. (Cis-men clearly are evil) Women beware, all that stops men from going crazy is no rocks raining from the sky or something something I guess. Woke level here is at great levels.
Point of Origin.
BORDERS ARE BAD!! Illegals need our love!!!! Hows it feel to be the outsider?! Doesn't matter if the place you came from is horrible - your not ONE OF US. So how dare you live here? GET OUT OF MY HOUSE and off my land! Build that wall! Torture and capture and imprison them! RARRRRR SO MUCH WOKE HERE OMG!!!1111. Ice cream man is nice, but isn't effective, other woman gets away because she knows not to trust ANYONE from here because they will turn you in. Message is clear here: boarder bad. Feel bad for the illegal person wah wah sniff sniff.
The Blue Scorpion.
Guns are bad and will kill SOMEONE so best make sure its not you. I guess... This one almost feels like it isn't really saying that guns are bad per-say, but that objects are like, bad? Or... uh.. its really not clear. Is the gun magical? Are all objects magical? This might not really have any message to be fair, but darn it my hypothesis is that this show is woke so I'm going with the "guns are bad" message that one could extract from this episode. To be fair, I don't like guns myself - but I dislike having a message shoved into my face as well. Still, its not a bad episode, just make sure it gets light. Also teach kids gun safety wtf is up with that ending?! The one kid points a loaded gun at the other kid!? WTF. Best look at the flower kid, At least we didn't hear a gun shot at the end before the wrap up speech.
Blurryman.
Not yet out. I predict that man will be blurry and also evil and bad because men are bad.
Might come back to edit this whenever episode comes out. Hate watching is a thing I guess.

So, sure I'm digging in deep here, and that is kinda the point. Is this woke? Is this need be more woke? Message shows always bad or just sometimes bad? What are your thoughts? Be sure to leave a comment or something to let me know... no one has done that for my other blogs yet but this time because I'm posting things that people might disagree with they will maybe!! Who knows. See you out there in the Outer Limits. Wait, no wrong show.
