Someone at SyFy is getting fired over this.

It’s far better than their usual fare. 😃

Basically, if a film has one of the above in it, then I know it’s going to be good.

A wiping clean of the slates, a _Year Zero_, a _Men In Black_-style red flash that wipes our minds clean of everything that has gone before.
