Prison Break Season 2: Episode 2

So many issues, so little time.

Theodore Bagwell: T-Bag, T-Bag, T-Bag. HOW THE HELL ARE YOU ALIVE?!?!?!?!?!? Also, don't you think when the vet is found and his car is discovered missing, the cops will use his OnStar record to search for clues? Or dust the car for prints? IMP, this makes T-Bag a sitting duck, but with his hand miraculously healed, who knows what he's capable of.

Tweener: How can anyone be that stupid and obvious? And it's too much of a coincidence that he found a ride to Utah on a college ride board. The show is going downhill. TV viewers are much more savvy these days. We don't want to be hit over the head with a plot point just to move a story along.

Where is Haywire?

"On the third, look out for Otis right. Keep your head up." AKA: Otis Elevators, third floor, right. This is where the show is doing better than last year. The dialogue is very clever. So many clues. Dare I say "Prison Break" is venturing into "Lost" numbers/Easter eggs territory?

Bill Fichtner is brilliant as Agent Mahone. Who knew the jerk from "Perfect Storm" would make out so well? Does everyone or anything George Clooney touches turn to gold?

Lincoln: Dominic you are still a looker, but that is not going to make up for your lack of reasoning. Dropping your cell phone? Dropping your toy gun? Dropping your son? Although I have no doubt LJ and dad will be reunited.

Speaking of LJ: Why was he brought down in the court house elevator? Convicts have a separate elevator. Officer Money pointed this out very astutely.

Love it that Bellick lives at home. Very creepy Norman Bateish! One thing, though: How could his mom hear his responses? They were barely a whisper.

Most stupid of all: The guards at the courthouse. Are all TV guards specifically told not to shoot at tires? At least Lincoln was hit. That was the one realistic scene in this episode.
