Prison Break: Episode 8

The boys are back in town...

So we found out Sucre was pulling a fast one. My mom was right. Knew IT!!!!!!. But Ha Ha on them! Too bad they didn’t show T-Bag making the switch. Hate when they leave such big plot points out. Sometimes the plot holes are so obvious and then they throw us an instance that matters to the story. Bet the arc is going to come back around with them suddenly finding it so easy to get T-Bag.

How could Michael and C-Note leave T-Bag in the garage? Alone. Yeah. DUH on that one. Nice move fellas.

Why does Michael keep getting so angry? Is he that stupid? Why has he not come to expect these things already? Any why didn't he plan for all scenarios?

Ouch! How could she cut herself? YEAH! Kicking the agents ass. Why not take the gun? And why doesn’t she have one yet? It's Prison Break TV land. They have to find a way for her to stumble upon one.

I’m sorry. But how did Linc just happen to be in the same town on such an adjacent street corner? And does LJ suspect anything? Here it is. Coming back around to such an obvious plot point. Taking us for granted just to move the story along.

Love Bill Fichtner. Keep him on next season.

I knew when Sara made that call to Bruce that it would result in an attempt on her life. C’mon. Throw us a bone we’re not expecting. A new flavor. And that woman was just such an obvious set up. Shouldn’t Sara know she can’t trust anyone? Just after her father was killed and there was an attempt on her life? How could she not suspect it was Bruce? And why didn’t’ she keep the battery?

How was Sucre finding it so easy to get back up from under that tree? That current was too strong. If anything, he'd be swept under. Water pressure mean anything to you?

Nice move on Linc’s part getting the meth head to beat L.J. up. But how did he get out of the hospital? Wish they would show those things sometimes. No wonder he wanted the cooler.

Where did the rope come from that Michael wrapped around the tree? I'm still not sure why he did that with the motorcycle. Someone fill me in please.

Love the code. Very DaVinci!

So happy for Sucre! But Maricruz is taking him for a sucka!

Why didn’t Sara number the birds? Of course Agent Kellerman was going to find the last bird.

Totally not expecting Agent Mahone to be working with Kellerman. Luv these little nuggets of surprise. Is he a bad guy? Not really in the FBI? Assassin?

Quotes of the night:

Sucre to Michael: If you can get eight people out of prison, you can get my Puerto Rican ass out of this, can’t you?

Mahone's superior: I will chain you to this desk until I get some answers I cannot fertilize my lawn with.

Damnit!

What will Callie do now?

Generosity 401

This is exactly the type of individual I hope to become.

Football Brawling 101

I think Joe Paterno could teach Larry Coker a thing or two about handling college football players. Especially after the messy melee this past weekend.

Should Coker be fired? I don't think so. It's his players who should be dismissed. They wielded the helmets and the cleats. Is college where they start to think that because they are hot shot athletes they can get away with anything? Seems to be. Although not so much in this case. Mind you, FIU is to blame as well. Just not as much, IMHO.

I'll be back to blogging about Prison Break next week. Can't wait to see how much farther Mahone will crack. Still can't believe he shot Tweener.

Prison Break, Episode 5

In order of appearance:

Why is Mahone obsessed with Scoffield?

Tweener wiping his fingerprints. Does he actually think that will work?

Love how Michael put the number in the swan. So sweet. But what does it belong to? Is it a clue to the location of the money? A cryptogram? Don't leave us hangin'. Not fair.

Where is Hightower?

Loved how T-bag and Tweener met up!

How did Sucre get to 100 miles outside of Las Vegas in one day? The phone booth just happened to have chapel phone numbers of where Hector and Maricruz were getting married? C'mon. We are not stupid tv watchers.

At the municipal building in Utah? How could the polic not recognize the brothers right away?

Lincoln went to jail for a crime he didn’t commit, but if he goes back, it’s for a reason. These guys may not have been criminals before, but they all are now.

How did Sucre make it to Vegas (100 miles) in a few hours on a motorcycle?

Love that T-bag ate the map. Serves Michale and Lincoln right for actually believing him. Are all criminals that stupid? Why did they not search him better?

Line of the night: “I’d a tattooed it to my body but I didn’t have the time.”

Prison Break: Episode 4

It's all about the characters, baby....

John Abruzzi: We hardly knew ye. R.I.P, my favorite mob boss. Saw this coming from a mile away, albeit after the fact. No wonder Peter Stormare has only been listed as a guest star in the opening credits. That never bodes well for a character. He did clean up well though. But where did the sudden accent come from? Let's hope this doesn't happen with Lincoln. To have Dominic Purcell's Australian accent suddenly come screaming out in the middle of a scene, would just be laughably wrong.

Tweener: Where did that body come from? He's being made out to be the stupidest of the group, so he'll probably be one of the last to go back to Fox River.

T-Bag: Ewwwwwwwwww! And I'm not referring to his hand. And how did the cops at the gas station not recognize him with the pictures being flashed all over the airwaves?

Michael: Where's the 5 o'clock shadow? How did you get Sara's cell phone number? And one tiny little detail, which harkens back to my first post of the season: How could you not destroy the hard drive?

Lincoln: Scrub city, but it works for you. Guess Michael is not loaning you his razor. Smart move removing the gun cartridge. You're turning out to be smarter than your brother. Then again, you are on the run, on the streets, something you are used to. Keep up the good work, and please keep that shirt open. Lovin' the view!

Sara: Why are you not in jail or under house arrest? Your little slip-up let eight inmates escape. Hopefully you'll redeem yourself next week when it seems you can see through "Lance."

Now for the real questions:
During the car chase, why didn't Lincoln slam on the brakes?
At the gas station: Why didn't the cops run the plates of the Jeep instead of asking who the driver was? And why were the so suspicious right off the bat?
How did the blood in the staged car wreck go from being B+ to pig's blood? And why didn't Michael use real blood? Didn't he think this thing through?

Best line of the night: "You really suck, Bellick. You know that?"

R.I.P. Crocodile Hunter

It's a testament to how much the man was loved, when my fellow waiting passengers at Gate C8 at Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport payed more attention to the announcement of Steve Irwin's death than they did to GW's Labor Day speech. [Mikey: Insert snarky liberal comment here.]

Then, just yesterday, feminist author Germain Greer had to open her fat trap of a mouth and diss the man. Hey, Germ, put a sock in it! He leaves behind a wife and two kids. All you have are enemies. Especially when you publish soft-core porn photos of half-naked boys.

We'll miss the "Crikey!"
