6X02: DRIVE

Recap by Bolissa

Hey, did you guys know that The X-Files moved from Vancouver to Los Angeles this season? Because just in case you forgot, they did another episode with light so bright you gotta wear shades. And by the end of the episode, Mulder actually ends up in California. Thanks for the reminders, 1013! Don't you guys think that they should've gone back to Vancouver the next season? Or when Duchovny couldn't get enough money from the FOX studio execs and left the show? Because the show should've totally gone back to Vancouver. Maybe if we had signed a petition. Or made some kind of commercial and sent it to FOX. It could've worked. At least they're going home for the movie.

FOX News. Well, we already know this might be highly inaccurate and biased. We see it's a helicopter videotaping a 70's blue two door sports car speeding down the highway being chased by cops. From a white Bronco to that piece of crap? OJ's traded down, yo. I wonder who he's killed this time. Oh, sorry. Allegedly killed. So a news anchor is babbling off camera about how the Nevada Highway Patrol has been chasing OJ for about 90 miles through some town named Elko and close to speeds of 100 miles per hour! Then the camera cuts to the TV station. Hey, it's Sean Hannity! So Sean is on camera saying how FOX News has a correspondent on the scene. And guess what? It's Tony Snow. "[Tony], what can you tell us?" Well, Tony is apparently in the chopper following OJ and he's got some interesting details for us. "Now, just under an hour ago, troopers attempted to pull over the blue car which we understand is stolen... Since then, this driver has stopped for nothing and nobody." Sean wants to know if the driver's identity is known. Tony doesn't know but he thinks it's probably a Democrat. Tony does point out that there is someone in the back seat of the car and that they may be looking at a hostage situation. Then the camera goes fuzzy and suddenly we're looking at the back seat of that blue car and there's a blonde-ish white lady lying down in the back and she looks pretty rough. She's holding her head and I think her nose is bleeding. Oh, my God! The driver is OJ! Wait. Hold up. The driver isn't OJ. It's some white redneck dude and he keeps looking into the back seat. It's possible he looks worried. Although I'm not sure if that's because he's got the Nevada police on his tail or because the lady isn't doing so well back there. Then we see some cop throw a spiky chain across the road and wait for NotOJ. Man, the screen is bright. I may need to get my sunglasses. Anyways, NotOJ drives over the chain and then the cop pulls the chain away before the patrol cars drive through. Sean Hannity would like some details. "It looked to be a special tire-puncturing chain. And now the officers are approaching the car. One of them has opened the door, and he has hold of the suspect. He's pulling him out. He doesn't seem to have a weapon. I think he's definitely a Democrat, Sean." The cops then pull the lady out of the backseat and into a patrol car. She's in a lot of pain and she tells the cop to "please get it out of [her] head." Were they listening to Celine Dion songs in the car? Apparently her name is Vicky, because that's what NotOJ is screaming over and over. Sean Hannity seems relieved that the hostage is ok but he comments on how NotOJ is still putting up a fight. Tony Snow's got it covered! "He's definitely putting up a bit of a fight. I think he was trying to get to the Democratic National Convention. He seems to be a man with a few choice words on the subject as you can see. They're trying to restrain him. I tell you what. We're going to move back and try to get a wider angle. See, there's the woman …." We then can see Vicky pounding her head against the car window. Tony is all, "What the heck?" Then there's an explosion of blood inside the car and splattered over the inside of the window. "What the hell just happened?" Tony asks. I think Sean Hannity has the answer: "I think Hilary Clinton shot her!" Then we hear someone from the TV station yelling "Cut!"
