[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for “The Twilight Zone” Season 1, Episode 8, “Point of Origin.”]
Ginnifer Goodwin played Snow White for eight years on ABC’s “Once Upon a Time,” but she leaves that fairy-tale land far, far behind to enter the nightmarish “Twilight Zone” on CBS All Access. In the episode “Point of Origin,” she plays Eve Martin, who leads a picture-perfect life as a housewife, mother, and benevolent employer who must question her ideas of what it means to belong in a society.
“On the surface, Eve is a privileged white woman who has grown up, to the best of her memory, very safely in the best version of America … in ‘The Twilight Zone’ world,” said Goodwin in an interview with IndieWire. “I would say that she pats herself on the back a little too often for the ways in which she finds herself to be generous. She considers herself very well-rounded, prepared, and protective,...

The Twilight Zone Episode 8
Some scholars and fans of science fiction will tell you that the purpose of the genre isn’t to answer the fascinating question it poses, but instead, to simply ask those questions in ways that make you think.
In this sense, the latest episode of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone reboot — “Point of Origin” — is exactly like The Twilight Zone of old; it dips us into an interesting premise, but ends before we can figure out exactly how to feel about it. Most forward-thinking people probably have a sympathetic view of “illegal” immigration, but what this episode does is try to push the controversies around immigration into another dimension — literally.

This Thursday on The Twilight Zone, Ginnifer Goodwin plays a suburban housewife “who wants to go home.” But as the official synopsis asks, “Where — and what — is home, really?”
This latest installment of the CBS All Access anthology, rebooted by filmmaker Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us) and already renewed for Season 2, serves up a haunting take on immigration and “bystander apathy,” Goodwin says. And to reveal much more would be no fun, though we will note that James Frain (Gotham) and Zabryna Guevara (New Amsterdam) play key roles.

CBS All Access has just dropped the first full trailer for Jordan Peele’s highly anticipated revival of The Twilight Zone. This gives us our first real look at the stories that will be told in the first season. It actually looks like it’s going to be pretty good!
As you’ll see, they’ve made some pretty significant changes to some of the original episodes that are being remade. There are also a few little Easter eggs to keep a look our for as you watch the trailer because there are some things that you’ll recognize.
The new series is described as an anthology that will tell self-contained stories in every episode. Also, like its predecessors, it will lean on science fiction, fantasy, and horror to tell tales laced with social commentary.
Jordan Peele will host the series, and as for the cast of the episodes, Steven Yeun...

What exactly set off Mara Kint’s brother-in-law, that he saw no option but to kill his wife and their daughter?
This sneak peek from Reverie‘s season finale sheds new light on Ray’s dark descent.
Leading into this Wednesday’s finale (airing on NBC at 10/9c), Mara (played by Sarah Shahi) learned from Charlie (Dennis Haysbert) that she had blocked out her possible role in Ray (Christopher Redman) turning his gun on himself, after he shot Jamie and Brynn at close range.
Upon realizing that she might have nudged her sister’s husband into (attempting) suicide, Mara enlisted...

Person of Interest’s main plotline was meh; that seems to be going around. But it was solid, and it allowed the exploration of the season’s larger themes, which made it all worthwhile. Person of Interest is good at that, you know; going off onto little sideroads and keeping the ball rolling. Tonight wasn’t the best example of that, but it did a good enough job. This was a Reese episode, which usually means not a whole lot is going to happen. Reese, I think, has become a little bit of an abandoned character; the show as built around he and Finch at the start, and it has grown so far beyond them. To be honest, I’ve never really seen a show grow past its main characters to such a degree. Angel did it, sort of; the Angel stuff wasn’t why I watched it anyways. But...

Body of Proof featured us a connection between the living and the dead in "Point of Origin" as a deceased woman's search prodded Peter to open up about his past.
This was a tough case for Peter. First, he saved Jenna from the fire... only to find out there was a second person he didn't save. The look on his face when he discovered the latter said a lot about this man. Others told him he'd already done more than most people would have by saving Jenna, but Peter obviously felt like he let a man die.
When Peter learned that Jenna had been searching for her birth parents, the parallel hit a little too close to home. Then, to know that hours before her death her birth father literally slammed the door on her, it was almost too much for him.
Daniel Robinson was a man with a lot to hide,...
