Well, I've just finished it, and it was everything you say here. Amazing in every way. I got chills from Tamarin's "I'm awake" -- it was a seminal moment. It was enhanced, rather than watered down, but the other "awakenings" in the episode.
I find it fascinating that someone as likable as Daniel Graystone can have such a dark side as to create a race of slaves in one fell swoop. It's certainly not implausible, but it says things about humanity as a whole that are chilling. I am loving at how well, and especially, how subtly, they are weaving the tragedy here. Just wonderful writing.
And this review? Was wonderful, detailed, and thoughtful as always. Is it Friday yet? :D
