Episode Report Card Erin: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sydney The Destructor
By Erin | Season 1 | Episode 16 | Aired on 03.09.2002
Uncle Arvin makes this really intense speech about how Kazanow broke into SD-6, terrorized the agency, stole from them, killed some of them, and there shouldn't be a vote in the first place. They should just take the bastard out. Spy Daddy wants to know what Sloane's strategy is going to be. Sloane mentions some guy named Edward Poole out of SD-9 (the European wing of The Alliance) and how he's one of the three swing votes that can determine whether or not Kazanow gets shot down like the dog that he is. Sloane's going to start with him.
Then we hear a cell phone ringing as a butler carries a cup of tea to a table. It's Sloane on the phone, calling this Edward Poole. Edward Poole, as you may have already guessed, is being played by 007 himself, Roger Moore. And yes, I will be referring to him as "007" for the remainder of this recap. Only, Roger Moore's looking so scabbily ancient these days that I should probably call him "Double-Oh-Geritol." Actually, I think I will. It's making me giggle already.
So, Sloane and Double-Oh-Geritol chit-chat about the Alliance meeting. Sloane cuts to the chase and asks if Double-Oh-Geritol is in support of declaring war against Kazanow. Double-Oh-Geritol says that Kazanow has to pay for what he's done, even if Double-Oh-Geritol has to take care of the matter himself. He's awfully ballsy for a man who's about three seconds away from registering for Social Security.
Sloane's pleased with this answer, but states that there are two remaining swing votes: some guy named "Oscar" and some other guy named "Jean." Sloane says that it's up to him and Double-Oh-Geritol to take care of these two guys. Double-Oh-Geritol is all, what are you suggesting, dude? Sloane's all, I'm suggesting that we do whatever needs to be done to make sure that Kazanow's pushing up daisies as soon as possible, dude. You get my drift? Double-Oh-Geritol gets his drift, all right. He gets it so much that he goes on to tell Sloane that he knows something that Sloane should know, and that he'll fly on over to L.A. to share it with him.
Backyard Of Cancer Patients That Look Well Enough To Go Body-Surfing In The Pacific. Syd's hanging out with Emily. They blither about Willage and how he likes Sydney and how Sydney can't date again because of her dead fiancé. Emily says that it must be hard for Sydney, doing what she does. She says it in a way that suggests that Emily knows EXACTLY what Sydney does. Sydney gets uncomfortable and goes off to pick flowers or something.
