I just have one question...

What the heck was that alien thing while Gordon and Alyx were in the citadel and it made the screen flash red a few times? Was it trying to probe our brains? Was it trying to make us slaves? Does it have to do something with the next few epsiodes of HL2? Oh god I'm scared! ;(

It was one of the many Combine Advisors, creatures that administer the Combine empire. It was using some kind of psychic attack on you.

A popular theory says that the one you met in the citadel was Breen in his new "host body".

Advisors. They are glimpsed twice in HL2, and are tasked with overseeing the management of the assimilation program. They are the true Combine, a race not unlike humans who pushed the limits of science to extend their life span, but ultimately they were consumed by it and can no longer live without it.
