I had hoped to do a recap of season 2 (as I did with season 1) but it looks like all the links were pulled in the last week. Please let me know if you know of any others. I did watch Fort Knox and Patton. Both were very good episodes. I was also hoping there would be a third season (since I grew to really like this show) but according to ask.com it was canceled. Brad, maybe you can come back on another channel. If Ancient Aliens can still be on the air, Im sure you have a few more seasons in ya :)
