All children are taught they're special but of course only the ones caught in a supernatural battle between good and evil and the robot ones are.

Barret Oliver is the titular star of D.A.R.Y.L. who we haven't seen in 4 and a half years when we watched Invitation to Hell.

Does that mean I shouldn't see it?
