  MILLENNIUM-CLOSURE, THIRTEEN YEARS LATER, and SKULL AND BONES     "Closure"     Daniel Sackheim      Larry Andries      October 23, 1998       3ABC04         5.07[19] The pursuit of a remorseless killer gets to Emma Hollis, whose fierce resolve to nail the slayer is tied to a violent incident that scarred her emotionally as a child.   MILLENNIUM-CLOSURE   I don’t get how people do not like this tense filled episode.

Australia had a 1981 slow horror movie called THE SURVIVOR which is about a haunted man who survived a plane crash. THEN, in 1984 a movie called SOLE SURVIVOR came out about a girl who survived a plane crash and is haunted by something that kills or wants to kill her. THEN, a mini series (for TV) had SOLE SURVIVOR in 2000 about a man who survived and is helping a young girl that also survived the plane crash as forces are out to kill her. WTF? ALL of these are very well done. But really? Morgan and Wong stole these
