Well, personally I loved Duel. This is partly shameless nostalgia - it was the first ep. I ever saw when I was all of eight years old. But I think it works because of the sense of unremitting bleakness. None of these people, including (as you observe) the aliens have a clue what they're doing. We also see the galaxy, in part, through a mutoid's eyes. The incidental music is great and the ep. was directed by Douglas Camfield.
However unless anyone else wants to come rallying to the episode's defence we may be joining Una and Ellynne as defenders of doomed causes.
I like the idea of Sinofer and Giroc being eternally cursed to suffer one another's company. They're so totally different. I have a feeling that they will be released when they have both learned what they need to learn. Sinofer has found truth long ago, but Giroc still does not understand and it is she who still binds them to the planet.
They are, in a sense, the collective identity of the two races who warred there so long ago.
Are they ghosts? Or are they some lingering manifestation of a technology beyond our comprehension?

Would Sinofer & Giroc only appear when there were two/several people in conflict with each other?
(and who would Servalan face?)
