The Twilight Zone - The Wunderkind

Well, that's got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

The Twilight Zone - A Traveler

"You're entering a realm which is unusual. Maybe it's magic, or contains some kind of monster ... The second one. Prepare to enter the Scary Door." - Futurama (I Dated A Robot)

It's like they based this show on the Futurama parody version. This episode is literally just "there's a weird creepy guy - turns out he's an alien." And that's it. That's the whole fucking episode. It's just weird for the sake of weirdness and then at the end there's an alien invasion that doesn't actually explain or justify anything that happened.

Star Trek: Discovery - Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2

Literally an hour of explosions, fights and people being ridiculously dramatic. It was incredibly boring. You could skip this episode (and the previous one) and just assume you know what happens - because you do.

The Twilight Zone - Replay

OK, this episode was... not bad? Not great. Not surprising. Not really saying anything new or novel. But it had a point. It wasn't just weird shit happening for no reason. It may have been repeating things that have been said before, but at least it was saying something.

Star Trek: Discovery - Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 1

What an absolute nothing of an episode. What a complete waste of time. It's all setup for the last episode, and we already know what's going to happen. You can't convince us that Spock is going to get stranded in the future forever because this is a prequel; we know that doesn't happen. We know that Discovery ends up in the future, and there are no crew on board because you literally told us that in Calypso. And nothing actually happens in this episode.

The Twilight Zone - Nightmare at 30,000 Feet

I'd heard this was just going to be another remake of Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, and thankfully it wasn't. If I wanted to watch that again I'd just watch one of the previous versions. As the name suggests, it is based on it though. Only it makes less sense and doesn't seem to have a point. The original is a sort of twist on the boy who cried wolf, with people not believing him because his claims seem absurd, he has no evidence, and his medical history suggests unreliability. In this case, well, none of that seems to apply.

Star Trek: Discovery - Through the Valley of Shadows

Red Angel; time crystals; Michael Michael Michael; Klingons. There. You're all caught up. Another bad episode that wasn't worth watching.

The Twilight Zone - The Comedian

Either this was a really bad episode to lead with, or, worse, this might actually be as good as it gets, in which case this series is going to be unbelievably bad.

Star Trek: Discovery - Perpetual Infinity

What even happened in this episode? Basically nothing. It was all dumb and pointless and made me wonder why I'm even watching this terrible show.

Star Trek: Discovery - The Red Angel

In the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books there's a device that's designed to give you ultimate perspective, to allow you to know exactly how insignificant you are on a universal scale. Zaphod Beeblebrox is scheduled to be hooked up to this device, but before that can happen he's brought into a simulation, an exact copy of the universe that was created just for him, so when the device is activated he learns that he is the most important person in the entire universe and the very reason for its existence, thus sparing him the fate of having his mind destroyed by the true scale of his own worth. Star Trek: Discovery is that simulation, but for Michael Burnham. It's all about Michael. Everything.
