Unlike most people who praise this episode, I'm not one of them. It is one of the better episodes of the season but it would not be in my Top 10. This is mainly because it is the first season and the noticeable lack of budget shows, especially in the awful effects for the worms. This episode would have worked better in season 3, maybe even season 2, when the show was taking off and the budget for each episode was higher and more money could be put into the special effects. In terms of bottle episodes, I would much rather watch 'Firewalker' over this. One big gripe I have is that it's established early on that anyone infected by the worms cannot control their anger and aggression, but Da Silva doesn't show any of that until Hodge notices a worm moving under her skin. Big oversight on the writers part.
