Ep 7. Kill All Others

In Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams season 1 episode 7, "Kill All Others," set in a dystopian society, a man named Philbert Noyce (played by Mel Rodriguez) is living a mundane life in a highly controlled society. He works a dead-end job and is seemingly content with his life. However, his world is turned upside down when he starts to notice a political message being broadcast across all media outlets, encouraging citizens to support a particular candidate for an upcoming election.

As the message becomes increasingly pervasive and aggressive, Noyce becomes increasingly disturbed by it. He notices that the message is also accompanied by a slogan, "Kill All Others," which seems to imply that anyone who does not support the candidate are to be killed. Noyce is deeply troubled by this and he struggles to make sense of what is happening around him.

As the situation escalates and Noyce finds himself increasingly isolated and ostracized, he embarks on a desperate search for the truth behind the disturbing message. He finds himself immersed in a bleak and dangerous world where freedom of thought and expression are banned, and individuality is suppressed in the name of an all-powerful government. Noyce ultimately must decide whether to stand up against the oppressive regime or to accept his fate as a pawn in a larger political game.

Throughout the episode, viewers are taken on a tense and thought-provoking journey into a society dominated by fear and control. The themes of propaganda, political manipulation, and the dangers of government overreach are all explored in a haunting and thought-provoking way.

The episode features strong performances from the cast, particularly Mel Rodriguez as the everyman protagonist, whose journey from complacency to rebellion is both compelling and emotionally resonant. The striking visuals and claustrophobic setting further add to the sense of tension and unease throughout the episode.

Overall, "Kill All Others" is a standout installment in Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams, highlighting the enduring relevance of the author's work and providing viewers with a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of giving into fear and oppression.
