Damn! Talk about freaking out (me, not a character).
Get this, at about 5:50 plot-time, we came back from a commercial to the end credits and next week’s preview! They screwed up the broadcast! I couldn’t turn away, because I knew they’d fix it in a second, but I couldn’t watch the spoilers! The credits finshied, then a colored screen with some Los Angeles code letters. About a minute or two probably went by before we rejoined the show. I almost messed my pants.
Now, on with the show…
I would really love to hear Palmer call Mike and asshole.
Why is Reiko Aylesworth (Michelle) credited as a “guest star?” Hasn’t she been in every episode?
“Take your time, I’ll be waiting in the car?” “Take your time, I’ll be waiting in the CAR?!” Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh farkin blabbityvoodoo!

OK… [deep breath] I’m OK now. Part of my brain just popped when I heard that, s’all.
I caught myself thinking, “Man, I miss Mason.”
When Kim fell through the ceiling and landed I began a mantra of “Getthegungetthegungetthegungetthegun…” Lo and behold, she got the gun! Go Kim! Glad she did good this time around. A toast to (hopefully) Kim’s future badassedness. Good call, Zazie.
The geek’s a good actor. I thought he was some random schmuck who got twisted all over the place, but you don’t go around stabbing people protected by Secret Service unless you know damn well what you’re doing. (Or don;t have the faintest, but I’m opting for the former.)
Welp, methinks Tony and Michelle are going to be locked up for a bit in the next two hours. And Jack better get the geek or they’re all in for a bad, bad future, unless Palmer transforms into Superman and flies them to a magical moon somewhere. Or out of the US’s jurisdiction. Either will work.
All in all, a damn good episode. I’m going to miss it.
