    Watch the original 2 part The Inheritors instead!

    I absolutely love the original two-part episode, The Inheritors. The story is simple, poignant, compelling, even charming. This rehash is heartless, cruel and unsatisfying. Do not even bother if you adore the original. I have seen this redone mess and will warn you now. Stay away. In truth, zero stars!

      Control Voice: It is our nature to fear a dark purpose in that which we do not understand. But true evil may lie more in ignorance than in suspicion.
