Episode Report Card Erin: C+ | 1 USERS: C YOU GRADE IT Bucky the Snowman
By Erin | Season 1 | Episode 19 | Aired on 04.13.2002
The extraction team starts counting down to when they'll be flying directly overhead, and Syd tells Bunny to drive for her while she sets up some complex situation involving a parachute thingy, some carabineer equipment, and the box with the core in it. Bunny leads them directly into the Hummer and, as the extraction team announces the number "one," Syd shoots something up in the air, where it locks onto the WING OF A PLANE, and Syd and Bunny get pulled swiftly up into the night sky as the motorcycle runs directly into the Hummer, making mincemeat of the Kops.
Say it with me: WHATEVER.
The Warehouse of Futile Crushes and Agents Who Need to Get a Clue. Vaughn's informing his non-girlfriend that the CIA has new intel on Kasineau. K-Directorate is also seeking revenge on Kasineau and has hired a relatively lethal assassin to find him and dismember him. That's incredibly detailed intel there, Agent Amorous. The assassin's code name is "The Snowman" which, if you're me, makes you snort Diet Coke out your nose because, even though it's the title of this week's episode, it immediately conjures up images of Frosty the Snowman brandishing a machete and chopping up Kasineau into a dozen pieces.
Anyway, The Snowman has been on the CIA's most-wanted list for the past twelve years and Vaughn's thinking that they'll get closer to Kasineau by following The Snowman. He tells Syd that he wants to make sure that she gets to Kasineau first because it's so important to her. Aw. Nothing like letting personal issues come before national security to declare your undying love for someone, huh?
Syd thanks him and starts to walk off, but Vaughn just can't let her go without asking about the Arkhangelsk operation and, by default, Bunny. It's so painfully obvious that Vaughn's only asking to find out if Syd did the nasty with Rabbit Face. Syd doesn't kiss and tell, however, and just succinctly informs him that the operation went well. Then she slaps her ass and tells Vaughn that if he wants some o' dis, den he better pick up a weapon and start actin' like a REAL man.
Center for Grrrl Music and the Boys WHO NEVER LEAVE. Willage and Francie are hanging out and drinking beers, trying to think of the best way to confront Syd about the random ticket stub and her possible secret life. I have to agree with the majority of the posters here. Willage on his own? Irritating. Francie on her own? Sort of pointless. Willage and Francie together? Brilliant. I just love the way they play off each other's stupidity and silliness. I'm not suggesting that they're stupid but this whole "Syd's Secret Life" escapade is pretty dumb. That being said, they're both really hilarious together. More Willage and Francie!
Willage thinks they need to strategize because, even though they're accusing Syd of lying to them, he wants to be gentle with her. Yes, Willage. We know. You want to "be gentle" with her in so many ways. Now get me one of those beers and stop meddling in other people's business. Francie theorizes that maybe Syd wanted them to find the ticket, like it was a cry for help. Yeah. And that's why I accidentally left my diaphragm out in the bathroom that one time my mother came to visit. I was just crying out for her to ask me about my sex life.
