Episode Report Card Kim: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Pilot
By Kim | Season 1 | Episode 1 | Aired on 09.27.2003
Christianson talks to The Senator on the phone. Christianson says it's just as The Senator predicted. The Senator says that Jack is nothing if not predictable, and asks what Jack knows. Christianson thinks Jack knows nothing. The Senator says that they shouldn't bet on it, and that he wants to be kept posted, and they hang up. The Senator tells his secretary to send a bottle of champagne to Jack, congratulating him on his promotion. So, wait. You mean, basically everyone who works at Triple L is secretly evil, or soulless, or an atheist, or a drunk? And everyone who works at the clinic is pure and true? That's so...boring.
Jack walks down the street. He meets up with Detective Traub, who is happy that someone is finally talking to him. Jack asks if there is any possibility that Barrington was murdered. No, detectives normally spend days and days probing suicides. Duh! Traub says that he was about to ask Jack the same question. Was that supposed to be shocking? Because it totally wasn't.
Next week: I finally get my slow clap! Jack is still meeting with Traub. Ariel is still working for Grant. Jack takes on a teen killer, and someone shoots a gun at the courthouse. I hope they cut down on the number of subplots next week. At least I'll already know the character names next time.
