It looks like we’ll never find out what that creepy Damien-like kid was doing with the genetically mutated assassin (or who Amy Irving was supposed to be), let alone what Albert Einstein’s translated final equations were talking about.  After three horribly rated episodes, including a 1.0 this week, ABC has yanked ZERO HOUR from […]
