Another Monday night, another hour in the life of AMIGO - America’s Most Incompetent Government Organization.
- Best line of the episode: “Secretary Heller is very sensitive to personal conflicts on the job.” I would hope so. His two top assistants, one of whom is his daughter, are screwing, one of them is currently out endangering the life of the other’s husband. Oh, and his son has been in some kind of torture chamber for a few hours, although we haven’t seen him for a period of time that vastly exceeds this show’s attention span.
- Second best line of the episode: “I can’t force you to leave your own property.” I can torture you or kidnap you, but I’ve got to draw the line somewhere.
- The heartfelt conversation between Heller and Audrey confirmed all of Jim Henley’s criticisms, which I’ve tried to refute, and was pretty damn sexist to boot. “I know it’s hard, honey, but deep down you know torturing your husband was what a man like Jack has to do.”
- Tony didn’t just “risk his career” to save Michelle. He risked the lives of everyone living in the US who wasn’t confirmed as immune to the virus. It was outright treason, and he should still be in prison for it.
- On the subject of torture, it’s been noted before that they seem to find a different interrogation method for everyone. So in the age of Abu Ghraib, why not get creative? They should have established Sarah as homophobic and then put her in a pyramid of naked chicks.
- The producers should really get a sitcom laughtrack and have it fire anytime someone says, “Go to AMIGO - you’ll be safe there.”
