The Twilight Zone is essentially sci-fi lite, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that it overlaps with Star Trek/The Orville a bit. And Star Trek is after all the grandfather of the
Planet of Hats trope...
Anyhow, I really liked it. It's the shows most philosophical episode yet. And doing Planet Reddit is a neat way to look at direct democracy through the lens of modern communications and social networks. There's a good half-dozen different allegories there; everything from social media network voting to fact vs. option to the fact that John was saved by a bot spreading misinformation.
