It felt like they were cheating with this episode, knowing how much I love "Aliens." The concept was taken straight out of that film, and it worked much better than I ever thought it would have. The Geonosian zombies were creepy and threatening, while the design of the queen was amazing. It does feel like the arc took a small detour from the last episode, and the overall cohesiveness of the arc is a little messy, but the episode does not suffer from that. Actually, I thought it was better and more intense than the previous episode. It felt more claustrophobic in nature and I think the premise made for a really investing rescue mission. It would have made sense to include Barriss in this episode, though, but that was an afterthought in an otherwise great episode.
