I'm going to start with the final segment because so many reviewers seemed to dislike it or even hate it. I thought it was hysterical. Not the lead up, of course, that was done with the utmost seriousness. But the final punchline left me laughing out loud. It was clearly meant to be a joke on the viewers and a parody of science fiction itself, which can be very silly and ludicrous at time. So I saw this one as a parody of science fiction and as such very effective and funny.
The 2nd segment, about the doctor's bag from the future, I thought was a mixed bag (no pun intended). It could have been a very serious episode, but they chose to play this for laughs. Which is okay, but it takes away some of the power of this very serious subject. I wasn't crazy about the ending either. Wonderful acting by Meredith as always.
The 1st segment was just okay. I'm not a big fan of stories about people who are dying in bed. I mean, who wants to be depressed? I want to be entertained not depressed. But it's okay.
