Reception
Entertainment and news website Geek.com included "The Coming of Shadows" as "essential watching" for season two. Geek.com writer Graham Templeton wrote that "one of my personal favorites, this is another pure-plot episode. Its kicks the real-war parallels into high gear, and begins to darken its view of human (and alien) nature significantly."
