Pan Am Season 1: Episode 14: “1964” “I hate to break it to you. We’re all spies.” Well my little Pan-Animals, we’ve reached the final chapter of our beloved airborne primetime period drama. That’s right, it’s “Closing Time” and the ”End Of The Road” for Pan Am, I hope you had the “Time Of Your Life” because “I Will Remember You”, “In My Life”, so “Here’s To The Night”… “Graduation Song”. Following last week’s confusing and un-chronological f**k you of an...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 13: “Romance Languages” “Why are the crazy girls always the most fun?” WOW. Did you guys see Pan Am last night? … Of course you didn’t, the Grammy’s were on and you didn’t even know there WAS a new Pan Am last night because ABC doesn’t promote the show and there hasn’t been a new episode since mid-January. I know its been on life support for a while, but Pan...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 12: “Secrets and Lies” “There’s been an attempt on the life of President Kennedy.” Last week, I attempted to pinpoint the ambiguous year in which Pan Am actually takes place. Well, this week’s episode occurs on November 22nd, 1963. Yeah, THAT November 22nd, 1963. When speaking of the assassination of President Kennedy, one of the most devastating yet defining moments of our nation’s history, it’s difficult to digress and dissect a VERY...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 11: “Secrets and Lies” “Sometimes I think women are just better.” In whatever year it is in the world of Pan Am (1962?) the Cold War is thawing and Pan Am is trailblazing the skies as the first flight to the Soviet Union. Truth be told, everything I know about the motherland is based on Beatles songs and playing Goldeneye 007 on Nintendo 64. So even though Russia actually looks...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 10: “Secrets and Lies” “This is ridiculous!” Kate passes the British government’s polygraph test with flying colours (get it?), and the peasants rejoice. Yay! Kate can finally get her life back and quit the secret service… but then Anderson tells her she is good at being a spy, so Kate’s like, OKAY I’LL STILL TOTALLY BE A SPY… We were so close to getting out of this storyline, you...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 9: “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” “You could make a difference. But you don’t.” As you may or may not know or care ABC short-ordered Pan Am’s season to only 14 episodes… though nothing is confirmed, it appears that we only have 5 flights left with our favorite stew crew. Plane crash metaphor, amirite? However from the looks of things, it seems that Pan Am plans on going out with a...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 8: “Unscheduled Departure” “You land in a hostile country. You leave a dead body of a Pan Am passenger and you come back with a 17-year-old refugee.” Wow! So THAT just happened. I believe Walt Whitman put it best when he so eloquently said, “That shit was bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.” Let’s break this episode down so we can start to digest: Pan Am jet flies through hurricane. Pan Am passenger...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 7: “Truth Or Dare” “My Boyfriend is a Yugoslavian communist.” BARF. THAT storyline. If Kate’s CIA plotline were a cartoon cat, it would be BARF-ield. If Kate were an NBA basketball player, she would be Charles BARF-ley. But let’s pretend, for a moment, that the whole 2-spies-in-love storyline DIDN’T happen, and that airplanes in the night sky were like shooting stars… NOT A BAD EPISODE, YA’LL! We saw characters...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 6: “The Genuine Article” “I’ve had my heart broken twice. Once by a boy named chip, the other by a man named F. Scott Fitzgerald.” Good news, bad news, folks. The good news is we were given an entire episode to see Christina Ricci’s back story. The bad news is we were given an entire episode to see Christina Ricci’s face! YOWZA. Plastic Nightmares aside, I will admit that...
Pan Am Season 1: Episode 5: “One Coin In A Fountain” “Do you dig tasty pudding?” I apologize for my absence last week, kids, and I appreciate Ms. Lucas substituting… but guess what? Teach is back and recess is over. No more passing grades for over-privileged pilots who risk passengers’ lives to win a pissing contest. You try that mess with me, Dean, and I’ll do more than sucker punch you… I’ll roundhouse kick...
