So, FOX decided to air a new episode on Christmas Eve. What’s that about? Meanwhile, I’m frantically getting ready for an international flight in about 12 hours. I watched the episode and intended to do a quick write-up on it, but I really don’t have the brainpower to focus on anything else right now. So it’s gonna have to wait.
