Factual errors: The photos of the girl murdered in Jacksonville, FL. are titled "Duval County Sheriff's Department". While Jacksonville is located in Duval County, the city and county governments are consolidated. The photos should read "Jacksonville Sheriff's Office". moreFAQ

I only caught the last fifteen minutes of this episode, however, I was greatly surprised to recognize it straight off, as it is an adaptation of one of my favorite sci-fi short stories. I was amazed that the writer and director stayed so faithful to the source material and yet still be able to flesh some things out - like how the angels look. I can't wait until this episode airs again so that I can watch the entire thing.
If anyone wants to read where this episode comes from, the story is included in the anthology "Her Smoke Rose Up Forever" by James Tiptree Jr. I highly recommend picking it up and reading it to see where the episode draws its material from.
