Part 15/16:
In sum, this episode functions as a masterclass in how not to write science fiction or horror. It is riddled with plot holes, inconsistent rules, pretentious messaging, and poor characterizations. It relies on contrived shocks, hide-the-monster tactics, and superficial diversity insertions designed for virtue signaling rather than meaningful storytelling.
Watching it repeatedly reveals logistical inconsistencies, such as characters ignoring obvious clues and entire scenes that could have been resolved with minimal effort. It’s an episode that, the more you think about it, inherently collapses under its own weight.
