This episode was written by the legendary Neil Gaiman, writer of my favorite comic book series The Sandman, and, when I first heard he wrote an episode, I eagerly anticipated it. It didn't quite live up to my expectations, but it was a good episode as a whole, considering Gaiman wasn't particularly versed in Sci Fi writing at the time (he went on to write for Doctor Who in the Moffat era.)
The plot is solid, the concept of the dead returning pretty cool. We get to see some backstory unfold, too, as each character has a person from their memory return from beyond the veil (at least to them.)
I enjoyed the premise, and it was a nice self-contained exploration of the Brakiri culture and of the backstories of the main characters.
