Featured review
Political Scandal
Intriguingly, this episode opens with the sequence which most episodes of the series end with: The Hulk trashes some gangsters down at the docks, McGee shows up hot on his trail, and David realizes it's time to move on. It's a clever change-up in the formula which makes the reader wonder where the heck the episode can go from here. Unfortunately, the rest follows the standard formula, with the only impact of David's extended stay being a couple brief scenes of him ducking to avoid being seen by McGee.
Still, this is a solid episode with plenty of high points. The plot revolves around an election for the president of the local union. Both candidates desperately want the endorsement of the previous president's widow, Sophie. But she's not interested in politics, not since her husband died while investigating some smuggling going on at the docks.
I like how the episode leads the intelligent viewer to the conclusion that one of the candidates offed Sophie's husband without coming out and saying it. There's a decent plot twist by the end, and the moment in which Sophie discovers said twist is almost chilling. Perhaps my favorite bit, though, is the Hulk's face-off with the elderly barkeep. The actress who plays her does a splendid job of being scared out of her wits while trying to keep the big green monster as placid as possible. The episode has one hilariously stupid moment, though: David and Sophie are escaping a warehouse. They are spotted just as they step outside - and they flee **back into the warehouse**!
