There's a striking simplicity to this episode: set on the open road, the only real characters are David, the obligatory attractive woman, and the obligatory evil thugs. It certainly makes the episode stand out, but the story can be overly crude.
It starts with David hitchhiking in Nevada (nice continuity), and his ride gets him to deliver a surprise birthday card. Turns out the "birthday card" actually contains a death threat, which puts David in a fix and leads you to believe the plot is going to be more complex than it is. See, it turns out the card's recipient is the head of a band of hijackers, and David's slender and buxom ride is no baddie; she's just taking the law into her own hands. Nothing wrong with that, right? Apparently David is more blinded by her roguish charms than I am, as he just stops himself from offering her a fist pump shortly after (a good bit of humor).
What follows is mostly a series of car chase scenes, which are fun to watch, as the young lady is a master of car chases. But the episode drops major credibility points through these scenes, mainly because there's absolutely no consistency on how fast each vehicle can go compared to the other. In addition, at one point the lady stops the car to call the police with the bad guys mere seconds behind. This serves only as an excuse for them to switch drivers, which is a problem in itself because it has no impact on the plot, and um, how is it that David drives with the same skill as the mistress of the road?
On the plus side, the Hulk fight sequences are terrific, full of genuinely cool feats, and the episode culminates with one of the most awesome vehicular crashes ever. This episode is big, dumb fun, with equal emphasis on "dumb" and "fun".
