Murder essence.

As the episode concluded, I sat there and asked myself, "Wait, did they just space Administrator Hengist". Yes, they spaced Hengist who was a physical being that was taken over by Redjac but all evidence available (or explained to us) suggested Redjac was not physical in nature. Well, moving right along.

This is 1960's horror. I am personally not a big horror fan but I admit that I can find enjoyment in psychological/intellectual horror and that seems to be what this episode is going for. As of 2022, with our vast library of media this is a tame episode by comparison that I do not find as disturbing as intended in the 60's and lessened the impact of Scotty being the suspect to me.

I thought the actor that played Hengist was excellent. It took me a while to figure out the twist with the miss directions thrown at me.
