Episode Report Card Gustave: B | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Day 2: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
By Gustave | Season 2 | Episode 11 | Aired on February 3, 2003
Electric Blue Kiefer. New credit sequence that's very reminiscent of last season's. For the benefit of those who just tuned in after tonight's American Idol, VoiceOverKiefer explains that a terrorist threat has been made against Los Angeles as they show a smoky-looking L.A. cityscape. "There are people inside our government who maybe involved," says VoiceOverKiefer as shots of Yulin, PoorMan'sHumeCronyn, Rolaide, and Bitchelle are shown. And that's an important detail, boys and girls, because as you may well remember from last year, Nina's face was shown when Kiefer referred to an insider being involved with the Drazens. "And my daughter is in danger," kontinues Kiefer, as Spawn is shown getting ready to run away from that car accident. No, we don't get to see the jiggle yet, but there's lots of that coming soon, I promise. "My name is Jack Bauer," says Kiefer. "And from 9:00 AM, I have been tracking this bomb," he adds, while various shots of Kiefer with his gun drawn are displayed. "And time is running out."
Previouslys. Kiefer determines that the militia men at the crash site were Americans trained by Colonel Sanders, some dude who is funded on the sly by NSA. Palmer questions Yulin about Colonel Sanders. Yulin denies everything. A phone call from Lady Mac reveals that she is in cahoots with Yulin. Syed Ali orders PonchoDude to kill Cate, but Kiefer kills PonchoDude first. Then he and Cate go look for Syed in some L.A. mosques. Enricky starts a fire in the back of PolicemanWithSpeakingPart's SUV. Only Spawn and her lying boobage escape the totaled vehicle. Marie is bad. Real bad.
It's been a long three weeks, hasn't it? And what better way to usher in a new block of new 24 episodes than to feature a nice long stretch of Spawn running from the totaled police car now that a team of paramedics has arrived. And then, in something one of my art history professors would have referred to as "visual rhyming," a pair of mountains is featured in the background. What I'm assuming are rescue helicopters appear on the horizon. Spawn hides from them under some brush. I'm not sure why they'd send a rescue helicopter to an accident scene involving a single car…especially when an ambulance has already arrived at the scene. But hey, who can complain if it makes Spawn run?
But maybe some of us weren't really looking forward to Spawn running as much as what Marie was going to do next after shooting her fiancée and a CTU agent a few minutes ago in cold blood. Well, back at Crew and Co., Marie makes her way around the body of an extra who is supposed to be Reza -- no need to pay an actor for another episode if he's not going to have any lines, right?
