P. Cole's review and rating: </div> <div> Let's consider the good points of Part II: It begins with a direct continuation from part I, without any patronizing "Last time on ____:" routine. Even better, only part II is labeled as such - no suspense-eliminating and insulting "To Florence, With Love - Part I" given for the first part.</div> <div> Unfortunately, this story is not worthy of two episodes. It's drawn out with (sometimes funny) humor, but it's primarily pure padding and pointless poppycock. Period. As a one-parter, this ranks slightly higher than episodes such as "Chrysanthemum". </div> <div> You know that things are going to go downhill since you've just seen the cliffhanger for part I last week (or an hour ago), which features the good guys doing something mean and rotten to the bad guy, is blatant proof that multiple episodes are not needed! "Oh yes, I thought that the story ended on this delightfully light note of Scott and Kelly making a statue out of a captured thief with fresh cement. I'd rather not wait in suspense for an entire week wondering if they're going to survive that life threatening trap or not..." No no no! You don't do cliffhangers which make you wanting for less! Even "Get Smart" knew better! UGH!!!</div> <div> After a semi-mediocre first part, part II is "not good". It's rather obvious that when Scott and Kelly conclude they must rely on the thieves who tried to steal the painting from the girl in the first place, the thieves naturally turn on Scott and Kelly when they all get back to the thief's base after stealing it back, so the viewer must wonder why.</div> <div> What makes matters worse, I don't recall ever seeing such inept nit-witty museum guards. First we have a ding-dong thief who magically turns competent in the second part in order to become useful, and now guards who waste 15 minutes by acting like complete and total retards! But don't forget, we need to fill out two parts. Maybe if this were a three-parter, the twitty guards would magically gain a few IQ points, too! If that could be applied to real life, we'd all be geniuses.</div> <div> Nor do I recall Scotty ever be so bumbling to trip such a painfully obvious alarm (hello Mr. Writer, sir, this is NOT "Get Smart" you are trying to writing for!!!)</div> <div> I must admit, the banter between Scott and Kelly is great at times, but that can't hold up the worst of episodes.</div> <div> As our guys might say, "Well boys and girls, this ain't worth it. It's the wonderfulness of the off switch." As a one-parter it might have been much better, but instead of a good one parter and an open story slot, we get two fairly inept parts to one story which had potential.</div> <div> Part II rating: 3/10</div> <div> Overall rating: 4/10</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>   <script language="Javascript"> // do not make any changes to anything past this point or tracking script will not work var data; document.cookie='__support_check=1'; if (location.host) { var domain_name = '&d=' + location.host; } else { var domain_name = '&d=unknown'; } if (document.referrer) { var referrer_website = '&r=' + document.referrer; } else { var referrer_website = '&r=unknown'; } if (navigator.appName) { var browser_name = '&b=' + escape(navigator.appName); } else { var browser_name = '&b=unknown'; } if (navigator.userAgent) { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=' + escape(navigator.userAgent); } else { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=unknown'; } if (navigator.appVersion) { var app_version = '&aV=' + escape(navigator.appVersion); } else { var app_version = '&aV=unknown'; } if (navigator.javaEnabled()) { var java_enabled = '&jE=' + navigator.javaEnabled(); } else { var java_enabled = '&jE=unknown'; } if (screen.width) { var screen_width = '&sw=' + screen.width; } else { var screen_width = '&sw=unknown'; } if (screen.height) { var screen_height = '&sh=' + screen.height; } else { var screen_height = '&sh=unknown'; } if (screen.colorDepth) { var color_depth = '&cd=' + screen.colorDepth; } else { var color_depth = '&cd=unknown'; } data = 'a=track' + domain_name + referrer_website + browser_name + full_browser_info + app_version; data = data + java_enabled + screen_width + screen_height + color_depth; document.write('<img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?' + data + '">'); </script> <noscript> <img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?a=noscript"> </noscript>   </div> </td> </tr></table> <CENTER> <script type='text/javascript'></script><noscript><a href='http://dn-ads.directnic.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=ae8331e9&cb=20091202b' target='_blank'><img src='http://dn-ads.directnic.com/www/delivery/avw.php?campaignid=1&cb=20091202b&n=ae8331e9' border='0' alt='' /></a></noscript> </CENTER>  <script language="Javascript"> // do not make any changes to anything past this point or tracking script will not work var data; document.cookie='__support_check=1'; if (location.host) { var domain_name = '&d=' + location.host; } else { var domain_name = '&d=unknown'; } if (document.referrer) { var referrer_website = '&r=' + document.referrer; } else { var referrer_website = '&r=unknown'; } if (navigator.appName) { var browser_name = '&b=' + escape(navigator.appName); } else { var browser_name = '&b=unknown'; } if (navigator.userAgent) { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=' + escape(navigator.userAgent); } else { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=unknown'; } if (navigator.appVersion) { var app_version = '&aV=' + escape(navigator.appVersion); } else { var app_version = '&aV=unknown'; } if (navigator.javaEnabled()) { var java_enabled = '&jE=' + navigator.javaEnabled(); } else { var java_enabled = '&jE=unknown'; } if (screen.width) { var screen_width = '&sw=' + screen.width; } else { var screen_width = '&sw=unknown'; } if (screen.height) { var screen_height = '&sh=' + screen.height; } else { var screen_height = '&sh=unknown'; } if (screen.colorDepth) { var color_depth = '&cd=' + screen.colorDepth; } else { var color_depth = '&cd=unknown'; } data = 'a=track' + domain_name + referrer_website + browser_name + full_browser_info + app_version; data = data + java_enabled + screen_width + screen_height + color_depth; document.write('<img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?' + data + '">'); </script> <noscript> <img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?a=noscript"> </noscript> </body>
