Episode Report Card Erin: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Ding-Dong, The Moronen's Dead!
By Erin | Season 3 | Episode 22 | Aired on 05.22.2004
Dixon's Office Of Let's Waste Some More of the Viewers' Precious Time. Marshall enters and, for those of us in the cheap seats, reminds everyone that he's working on a way to figure out the location of the Rambaldi thingy they were all discussing at the end of the last episode. Marshall suggests that perhaps Rambaldi was treating himself to the occasional dip in the wacky weed, because the algorithms that Marshall's trying to decipher are some seriously weird shit, dudes. Dixon is not amused. Neither am I, really, but I'll always have a soft spot for Marshall. Dix informs Marshall that what they're looking for at the location would appear to be Rambaldi himself, which would be weird, considering he's dead. Or actually Jack Bristow. I'm just guessing here. There's more blathering from Marshall and somehow it comes out that he'll have the problem solved in eight hours, and then Marshall finally gets the hint that Dix doesn't want him around, and leaves.
Meanwhile, Moronen/Syd makes it into the room where Marshall's solving the location problem, and she parks it and informs someone over comm that she's patching into the feed. She does this in her own voice, by the way, which is really odd considering that it's coming out of Syd's mouth. And Syd's teeth are nowhere NEAR as protruded as they need to be in order to make Moronen's voice coming out of Syd's mouth make ANY sense. So, yeah, whatever; Sark's the one Moronen's talking to, and he's out in his car, harboring masturbatory fantasies about Moronen in her Syd disguise. Can anyone else out there see his right hand? All hands on deck, Sarkie. I have no interest in seeing you get familiar with Lil Sarkie, okay?
Wendy Kroy: Well, I certainly do!
Regina: It speaks!
Wendy Kroy: Oh, I'll speak up in favor of Sark jerk--
Regina: Don't.
Wendy Kroy: What?
Regina: Just…don't.
Wendy Kroy: [seething silence]
Regina: That's better.
Moronen/Syd continues futzing with Marshall's work, and then she tells Sark she's uploading the Rambaldi equation now. And that's when Marshall enters. He's all, hey, Syd, whassup? You seen my USB key? Blah blah blah, my baby, bling blam blooey, duplicates of the USB key, flim flam flotsam, hey there, is Moronen getting her gun ready, click clack clatter, ha! found the USB key, yimmer yammer ying yang, see ya later, Syd -- hey, why are you downloading the Rambaldi equa--BANG! That's right, Moronen shoots our little Marshall. Right in the gut. He goes down with a moderate look of surprise. Moronen informs Sark that she has the equation and that she's going to corrupt the database. Her dirty work done, Moronen finally leaves. Marshall just bleeds.
