Episode Report Card M. Giant: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT In-fil-tra-tion. Ready? Begin!
By M. Giant | Season 4 | Episode 14 | Aired on 03.20.2005
ImhoTerror follows Kiefer and his little party off into a splitscreen, which also includes a worried-looking TerrorTeen, as well as a worried-looking DoDder who steps up to meet an approaching doctor, who in turn blows right by her without a word. Heh. Smart doctor. Keeler worries on Air Force One, his hair darker than ever; and Kiefer looks worried as he's loaded into an SUV. As do Bitchelle, Soul Patch, and Potato Face at CTU, because they figure that eventually there's going to be an uprising when people figure out the place is being run by people who don't work there anymore.
Poor Man's Eric Stoltz enters the Air Force base building, satchel in hand. A solider in fatigues salutes him. Poor Man's Eric Stoltz returns the salute, poorly. He steps over to a doorway and swipes a card through a slot. Then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a gory handkerchief which he hides from the guard with his body. He unwraps the little Blair Witch parcel to reveal Poor Man's Poor Man's Eric Stoltz's severed thumb, which he presses against a sensor. The door unlocks. I note that this week's commercials did not include that one for the IBM laptop with a built-in fingerprint reader. Good call, IBM. And here's the shocking, end-of-episode revelation: Poor Man's Eric Stoltz enters a hangar containing a fighter plane. You mean that the guy in an Air Force uniform who works for ImhoTerror kidnapped, murdered, and impersonated an Air Force pilot in order to gain access to an aircraft? The hell you say! It's 9:00:00. And that's it. Worst final act of the season so far, if you ask me. Which, implicitly, you sort of did.
Next week on 24: Looks like Kiefer gets shot during a prisoner exchange for TerrorTeen. Unless the promo is misleading. You don't think that's the case, do you?
