Enjoyed this tense episode. What bugged me was the overuse of "The Volume" in the wide corridor shots. Like early blue screen work, it's distracting and takes you out of the action. Once they slip into the real sets, everything looks better. At any rate, a great callback to "Midnight" and good to see Wilf!

People rag on the Volume just as much as they rag on "too much CGI", the same they used to say "too much green screen" or "too many rubber suited aliens". It's all just storytelling tools, and you either suspend your disbelief or you don't based on the strength of the writing. If you can show me a seemingly endless corridor with giant hydraulic pistons that reconfigures every ten minutes, and that's actually a part of the story, that's pretty damn great in my book, no matter how it looks.

And just for the record, I thought this looked great too.
