Episode Report Card Gustave: C | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Day 2: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
By Gustave | Season 2 | Episode 2 | Aired on November 4, 2002
Man, was it hard to write my recap this week. The trouble started when I read Alex Richmond's brilliant 7th Heaven guest recap. I vowed that I would work as good a line as "sorry to bust your groove, Willa Cather!" in to my recap this week, but the magic just wasn't there for me. From that point on, my confidence was shot. Damn you to hell, Alex Richmond!
A few shots of electric blue Kiefer. The 24 logo. Previouslys. Terrorists have planted a nuclear device in L.A., and KreepyEric keeps second-guessing Palmer like LadyMac used to. PoorMan'sReneeZellweger is about to marry FarsiBoy, but her sister PoorMan'sCateBlanchett suspects that he's a terrorist. Kim is a nanny for the family from hell. Lifetime movie hell, that is. Kiefer left CTU, but they pulled him back in. "I'm going to need a hacksaw." The following takes place between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM.
Northwest Regional Operations Complex. Exterior shot of a military jeep entering the complex. Inside, Lynne and President Palmer are discussing what federal agencies can be entrusted with information regarding the nuclear device. Lynne, by the way, is sitting on a Mies Van Der Rohe Barcelona Chair. Um, hello? Could this be anymore of a shout-out to me? Not only is this chair available at DWR, but it is listed in my TWoP Bio as my favorite chair. Lynne and Palmer discuss aspects of the terrorist threat, but I'm not paying attention. I'm just wondering how Lynne's butt feels in that Barcelona Chair with matching ottoman. Actually, I know how it feels. It feels divine. I went to ABC Carpet last month and sat in one. Nicole Kidman is leaning on the back of one in this month's issue of Vanity Fair. I'm a trendsetter, goddammit!
Oh, speaking of terrorist threats, we now cut to Mohammed Abu Shimal Shaka Zulu, or whatever his name is. He and his terrorist cell are loading something (the bomb, I assume) into a van. A garage door opens, and the van cruises out. The logo on the van reads, "America Delivery." Geddit?
Meanwhile, at I'llGiveYouSomethingToCryAbout Manor, just moments after last week's smackdown of JonBenet, DaddyStopTouchingMe is on the phone with the company he works for, grasping feverishly for an excuse for why he's not in the office. Um, what does DaddyStopTouchingMe do? Work the register at Kinko's? You'd think that a guy who lived in a home as palatial as his would either own the damn company already or at least have an assistant in his employ who'd cover for him.
