Once they arrive in the high school, I thought this would be a fun throwback to the type of ST episodes where they'd save on the budget by just building an interesting story around standing sets from another series. But then the monsters started to appear, then they pulled out all the stops with a stunning sequence of a plane crashing during a snowstorm. The constant shifts in setting and tone are skillfully done, constantly kept me on my toes and gripped to see how this was going to pay off, especially nearing the end as a few surprise curtains are pulled back. The only issue is the ultimate payoff, while an interesting concept and an unexpected throwback to an earlier episode, just feels a bit pat and underwhelming. Still a solid episode though.
