WOW, 2 episodes where I could sit back and actually enjoy the show. This was actually Twilight Zone like for the most part.

They could have touched on other aspects of the background of this episode more but overall, it was an ok story.

One of the better episodes in this poorly written show - 2 decent episodes in a row - wow, am I watching the same show? Is it possible CBS is learning? S1 attacked the audience far too much between the misandry, the message, and the other attacks it made it hard for me to enjoy it. So far, 2 episodes into S2... I actually enjoyed this one and the first one despite their logic flaws.

You know what this episode did have? Science fiction. That's why I watch science fiction so I can see some cool things.

More of this type of writing.

There was so much more they could have done with this episode. BUT, at least it was enjoyable.

It's a shame shows start out horrible, and then try and fix themselves. The whole episode I was thinking "ok, when am I going to be attacked?" and when it didn't happen... I was surprised. I was expecting more of the same ole low quality blatant attacks... at the end I was thinking... wow... they managed to write TWO episodes "as a science fiction show"... without the misandry, etc. AWESOME!!!

More like this please!
