Oh well.... to each their own,

Thought it was the LAMEST cold open I had seen in years... and I have been awake

Didn't know who those people were supposed to BE,
(although the one on the right looked like Sara Palin),
and I got too bored half-way through, and moved on.....

Pffft.

Not supposed to be anyone in particular. Two people abducted by aliens experience light and love, and the third (Miss Rafferty) has a very different experience.

Guess it doesn't tickle your funny bone.
