SEASON FINALE: For tonight's two-hour season finale, this series is pulling out all the stops – or, at least, most of the tricks, including cinematic homage and blatant product placement. Both of those, in fact, are combined in the same stunt tonight, as the show takes advantage of its San Francisco setting to recreate – at least in spirit, and only partially – the famous car chase scene from Steve McQueen’s classic Bullitt movie from 1968 (seen at left below). This time the car is driven by Rebecca Madsen (played by Sarah Jones, seen at left above, though a stuntwoman does the real driving), and the car, as before, is a Ford Mustang. But this time it’s a shiny 2013 model – making it a plug for the car as well as a nod to the movie. Oh, and one other movie nod: Jones, like McQueen, wears a turtleneck.
