:O  Pretty good joke.

You could easily add a story before the main plot.  Even if it was S.ifr-esque (ie the battle 300 years ago).  A continuation might be a little difficult, though you could always play around with a few factors.

And these likely suck too much for you to bother watching a second time anyway.

Sometimes you pick things up on the 2nd watch, especially with those that reveal certain key aspects at the end of the story.  I've read some books multiple times, finding the second go pretty much just as entertaining as the first...
But meh, can't say much about it.  It's rare anyway.
