I'm really rather surprised by all the negative reviews of this episode. I think it's quite a strong one. Not a masterpiece, to be sure, but quite solid. I don't think the ending was obvious at all (at least, if one tries to forget that one has seen the episode many times). I always like episodes that provide a good snapper ending, and this one delivers. And the whole thing is creepy and disconcerting. Especially as one ponders the fate of the protagonists as we leave them at the end of the episode. OK, so it's not a profound or deep episode. But it's interesting, creepy, surprising, and fun. I can think of plenty of episodes that are far weaker.
