This one was quite different from the first episode yet building on the themes and characters introduced there. Evan Rachel Wood and Ed Harris take more of a back seat but both feature, the latter in what feels like a particularly important storyline. There's an absolute ton of world-building here which really zings along, along with sub-plots which really engage, including the most obvious reference to the original movie with the two visitors. Thandie Newton's role is particularly intriguing at this point, but the whole thing is impeccably done, the writing and the acting particularly impressing.
