You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

This prompt made me realize, I haven't watched an episode of a scripted show at all in November. I don't know if I did in October either. Maybe a Better Call Saul on Netflix.

I saw Star Wars is trending, and normally I'd make my reminder that Disney needs to make an Ewoks vs. The Predator movie, but after seeing Killer of Killers, I don't want anyone vs the Predator anymore if they're just going to end up frozen after.

(But I so still kinda want to see that movie.)
