But unlike the rest of Crockett Island, who met their fiery fate with grace, song, and prayer, she ran from it like a coward: screaming, crying, and digging into the sand in a last-ditch effort to find shelter. Tallerico felt that the series' emphasis on philosophical examination came at the expense of its horror elements, writing, "most of the lengthy conversations are well-scripted, engaging enough in their dialogue, but they also drain a lot of the momentum from the piece.
