AMIGOblogging Finale

Posted by digamma @ 9:20 pm EDT

If you don’t want to know about Season 4 of America’s Most Incompetent Government Organization, stop reading now.

  • Michelle proves herself the only competent employee of the entire United States government.
  • Jack’s final phonecall should have been to Kim, not Palmer. I don’t care if Elisha Cuthbert was busy with her Cinemax work - he could have left her voicemail. This idea that Palmer and Jack would be BFF was okay at the end of the Season 3, but they didn’t follow it up.
  • No consequences for all the unconstitutional torture. No real ending for my heroes, Chloe and Edgar. There were consequences for the blatant violation of Chinese sovereignty, sort of.
  • After his traitorous ex died, Curtis never got a life outside of work, which is what the show is all about. They should have had him turn out to be Keith Palmer’s father. And then Keith could show up and throw him out of a window.
  • What was the point of Fake Dick Cheney’s return? They could have stuck anyone in that role and it would have made as much sense. His past history with Palmer was irrelevant after the first episode.
  • Carlos Bernard and Reiko Aylesworth are the best kissers on TV. Damn that was hot.
  • FOX’s Season 5 promo: “On the first day he saved the President.” That’s false. He saved a candidate for one party’s nomination to the presidency. “On the second day he saved a city. On the third day he saved a country.” Fair enough. “On the fourth day, he saved the world.” Jigga WHO? At best, he saved a city. And that was by pure luck.
  • Jon Cassar’s (and Rodney Charters’s and everyone else’s) visuals are so good, they make watching this show worthwhile. I know this season was horribly written. I know. When other shows start looking this good, I’ll stop watching. I’m sorry.
