The suspense as the "antagonist" explained the predicament humanity is now up against is simply goosebumps inducing. I think every human who is familiar with the Fermi paradox and the idea that humanity for all intents and purposes could exist in a petri dish, felt seriously uneasy during that sequence. That something, real, is manipulating reality to their own benefit, and that quite literally, we would be unable to stop it.
It's kind of scary, I would put that sequence in the same genre of Horror, because it was just that terrifying as it is something that could very well be real, and the most scary things in the world, are what's real.
This is ironic given the amount of scientific inaccuracies the series has thus portrayed, but this series isn't a science lecture, it's a fictional piece of media. So despite the 2 dimensional characters and other issues, this episode deserves a 10/10 for that sequence alone.
