“Touched by an Angel” has truly reached epic proportions of stupidity. Tonight’s morality play from Hell had Anabella Sciorra as a scientist who hatches a plan to clone Albert Einstein and implant the embryo in her very own uterus. Of course, anyone who follows “Touched” should know by now that if someone is a scientist, they must be stopped from whatever hellish Godless pursuit they are embroiled in. Along the way, we are treated to comparing cloning to the atomic bomb, blaming Einstein himself for Hiroshima, Harold Gould in an Einstein fright wig, and the creation of new angel Valerie Bertinelli (!) from cherry blossoms.
It’s the pop culture equivalent of a massive car crash – I shouldn’t look, but I can’t help myself. Where did I leave that Tarot deck?
