The second episode airs tonite on ABC. Only four of, I believe six, will see the light of day as the evil network people prefer more banal entertainment such as National Bingo Night and Wife Swap. The episode includes the former Cigarette Smoking Man, William B. Davis, from the X-files:

The second episode, "The Awakening" stars Terry O'Quinn and Elisabeth Rohm. Based on the short story by Hollywood Blacklist author Howard Fast ("Spartacus," "Citizen Tom Paine"), the episode opens outside Baghdad, where U.S. soldiers discover a mysterious casualty - one they can't even identify as human. William B. Davis ("The X-Files") guest stars as the President of the United States. Michael Petroni ("Till Human Voices Wake Us") directed from a script he wrote, based on the short story by Howard Fast.
Terry O'Quinn is another X-files alum, but I remember him also on the old Millennium series as Peter Watts. I still have several episodes of that program on old VHS tapes that may or may not play anymore, but I treasure them, particularly the finale. The show ended in 1999. It was Chris Carter's follow up to the X-files, and was really freaky.
