BTW, you all can thank me personally for merging these 3 different films
together into one "miniseries" entry on IMDb - it took several days to
pull that off...

Anyway, not exactly looking forward to this one as it looks to focus on
new characters we haven't even seen before.

I liked Fox a lot 20 years ago. But this seems pointless if you can't
even watch season #1...


So far, a thin week.
