Monster of the Day

  Duh, Gee, Tennessee. Let's make this another Ultra Q week, as inspired by Sandy's review of an episode. I'll write up my thoughts on the show and append them to Sandy's review and repost the whole things as a Nugget later this week. This fellow was one of only a few monsters to…

Oh, this is the best bit!* [*Do you see what I did there?]
