The weird shape and general inexplicableness of the thing give me the same feeling I had the first time I saw "Alien" (opening night, in a theater, I was eleven) and caught glimpses of the creature. "What the hell... *is* that thing? Can't quite get my head around it... Is it coming or going? Where's the front? …

Lots to enjoy in this episode. And I enjoyed it very much.
