8

This episode was so much fun! A group of scientists slowly eliminated one by one An awesome octopus Joel McHale BLOOD, GORE, and DNA Far-fetched, silly and most enjoyable It's The Twilight Zone - just go with it!

This episode was absurd and objectively terrible. I loved it.

The story quality of the Season 2 episodes have been dramatically improved over Season 1 so far, which has given me hope for TZ. "8" is a step backwards, which is unfortunate given the high potential for the unique setting in the Arctic. However, the story had too many plot holes, inane character monologues, and a simplistic ending. Hope this is only a blip. Don't waste your time with this episode.

This episode is in the style of movies "The Thing" or "Life" even "Planet of the Apes" but it suffers from a flimsy plot underneath it''s slick veneer. The cast manage to keep a straight face throughout, but I felt like this script was written by a high school biology student, it seemed so unbelievable and contrived. I'd advise skipping this episode, unless you like 80s B sci-fi movies.

So the TZ had these types of ecological morality tales dotted throughout the series. They were never my favourite, but this one is good for what it is. Some good sci-fi, flawed characters making mistakes that lead to bigger consequences and such. As with most of the episodes this season the story is based around characters and there's a good narrative overall.
