Meet the Belaskos/Cheat Code

First Story: When will writers understand that correlating blood-sucking monsters with oppressed minorities is NOT conveying the message they think it is? Good acting doesn't save this plodding plot which drops emotional weight for a cheap ending. 2/5 Second Story: If your entire episode revolves around a vintage game, put some effort into creating visuals from the era. Even despite that, this was goofy, predictable, and left all its emotional weight for a random crappy alien costume. 1/5
