Undeniably one of the 5 worst episodes.
A fairly dull, generic switcheroo episode.
Utterly idiotic and far-fetched too. The notion that a Chinese man can be molded into the EXACT replica of a Caucasian American presidential candidate, voice and mannerisms included, is so stupid it simply doesn't hold up, not even to a half-way intelligent 12 year-old. This is the kind of cheap pulp BS you can find in old American comic-books, recycled in many versions. Translated from drawings onto the small screen its nonsense levels only get even more amplified. What works in a comic-book usually doesn't on film - but they sure do keep trying.
The ease with which the Chinese replace and kill the real political candidate is hilarious. If political sabotage and assassination were this easy, we'd have a different Prime Minister or President each month, in every other country.
"Put an end to your treachery, here and now!"
What treachery?! He was a Chinese spy. He'd be a traitor only if he'd betrayed the Chinese. That's how stupidly this is scripted. The vice-President is basically claiming that the President is a fraud - yet he also labels the impostor a traitor! What a Mickey Mouse script.
Naturally, this astoundingly bad episode gets a 7,3 average from the IMDb crowd...
