Of the three shorts in this episode, "The Genesis Tub" is my favorite. It's a mix of the original Twilight Zone episode "The Little People" and of "Wolf 359", a Season Two episode of the original Outer Limits. It's clever if not a bit on the nose with it's shots at religion. "Citizen Kang" has dated with it's Clinton vs. Dole election theme, but the way Kang and Kodos easily manipulate the population is stinging commentary on how little attention people pay to anything other than soundbites and slogans.
All of these shorts end suddenly and darkly, which will probably upset some viewers who desire happy endings.
