  2. Judging by the picture, I think the episode will be about A man in trial over something he didn't do and he's trying to say that he didn't do it.

  21. I think that a man will be transported into the future and is deemed useless, inefficient, obsolete because of the progression of tech and people and the violence of his time period.

  23. I think that the episode is basically a precurser to Termintator: Mankind's advancements in machines and AI leads to the machines thinking for themselves and thinking that mankind is obsolete.

  32. I think this movie will be about machines replacing man in the factories. Because machines are cheaper and more reliable than having man working. Although, machines can not do the quality of work that man can do.
