Who was directing this episode? It starts with a man beating his wife in front of a bunch of kids. There are crazy POV shots, every conversation takes place in darkness, and the final battle plays out like genre samurai film.

What’s more, who wrote it? This, the last bit of (subtitled) narration:

And so the invaders from the planet Metron were defeated, and their plan was foiled. A terrible scheme, to exploit man’s trust in his fellow man. But please, don’t worry. This story could only happen in the distant, distant future. Why is that, you ask? Because in today’s world, there is not enough trust to exploit.

I may love it now, but I can only imagine how it warped young minds back then. Wait, one of them was me?!
