Prison Break
Yaaaay, LJ! ;) Looks like breaking LJ out will be part of the arc of S2.
Booo, Mahone. What the hell was up with his birdbath he was so mesmerized with in the opening there? Since he was a hybrid alien on Invasion, obsessed with water, couldn't help go there. "Oooh, water! Must stare at it for hours."
Waaaay too much T-Bag and Tweener (although a college campus is a good place to blend!) T-Bag ain't that smart, because (apart from the whole forcing-a-vet-to-sew-his-severed-hand-ba
Too bad Lincoln and Michael can't haul Linc to Sara for some on-the-fly doctoring. (And no Sara this ep!)
Wonder what Pope will do now. Have we seen the last of him? Of course Bellick will be on their trail, but as a loose gun. What does it take to become a bounty hunter?
Vanished: Yeah, done with this one. The quality of the writing, even on tiny, procedural scenes, is embarrassingly subpar. Makes you appreciate 24 all the more.
BTW: Yaaay, for 24 sweeping the Emmys! But wtf with the clips they chose? I could have picked much better scenes to showcase that it actually *is* a character-driven show as much as an action show. Hell, a monkey could have! But yaay for Kiefer and co. ;)
Also congrats to Jon Stewart and Andre Braugher (always brilliant, although he hasn't had material anywhere near as good as Homicide since he left -- no one from the show has).

I adore LJ as well. I'm really all about him and Linc and everything else on the show is purely secondary. But hey, prison didn't toughen Michael up much, did it? I wish they'd gone down that road, but oh well. Guess Jack Bauer is the only guy on FOX who's allowed to actually do questionable things.
And they didn't resolve Sara's origami swan clue...damn.
I think Sara and the swan will be back next week. ;)
I'm decidedly underwhelmed too. I'll probably keep watching it until the other networks launch their new shows - but unless a miracle occurs, choosing between it and Heroes (Greg Grunberg, squeee!) probably won't be as hard as I once imagined. Heh. :)
I was willing to give it a chance, but when your only reaction is annoyance, that ain't good!
And yes, there was waaaayyy too much of Tweener in this episode. Even when he's not doing anything (i.e. just sitting on his ass) he annoys the crap outta me. *bleh* I didn't mind T-Bag too much but the whole sewing back on severed hand seemed a little (just a tad bit) unbelievable. I hope the vet is alive too! I hope T-Bag and Tweener get caught at the same time and Tweener has to share a cell with T-Bag. LOL!
I'm still picturing Mahone in leopard printed underwear.....I cannot take him seriously like that! :/
And yes, T-Bag and Tweener can share a cell, or a car going over a cliff, as long as we don't have to see either of them again!
Hee. Maybe the writers will throw a Mahone underwear scene your way! ;)
>:(
And if the writers of PB throw a Mahone underwear scene my way....I will die.....from laughter.....
I don't think Wm. Fichtner will be seen in his underwear anytime soon! Michael and Linc are the resident sex symbols and Fichtner in his undies = creepiness, as you can attest! Although I do know some women who fancy him!
It's embarassing to me how much I adore Wade Williams at this point, so I can't really comment on Bellick, except that I'm very confused at how I am able to feel disgust and glee at the same time.
*sits back and turns brain off*
Oh wait, I did like Kellerman, but looks like he's out for good, alas. And Michelle Forbes. I've adored her on everything she's ever been in but is she gone too?
I still remember the awesomeness when Tony appeared on 24 and Giles on Buffy (not that I'd equate him with those two!) but sometimes it's nice to just go, 'OMG! YAY' and not be spoiled. And if he's not back, well, he had a good run.
And I loved the shots of Linc and Michael walking together. Went looked like the biggest nerd in his baseball cap and suit and Dom looked like he just walked off the set of Blade Trinity (No complaints here - he's looking good this season!).
Hee. I adore Dominic and he and LJ are my main reasons for watching the show, but he made just about the worst vampire ever. I'm a firm believer in having gaunt vamps! Gerard Butler, another fine hunk, was also far too beefy to be Dracula. (And I know this because I'm obliged to see every vampire movie ever made, unless they star James Woods.) But I did adore Ryan Reynolds in Blade Trinity. *goes to happy place*
Someone on my flist was pointing out that Lincoln isn't attempting to disguise himself at all. How about a wig? A hat, at least? *sighs* But Michael in the baseball cap was quite cute. At least he's trying!
OMG, if the vet is still alive?! That would be freaky. O_o
And didn't you see the vet's eyelids flutter? I can't imagine why they'd draw that whole scene out unless he *was* alive. Although they could find T-Bag easily enough without his info, probably, but if he gives them the car and the 'just-had-his-hand-sewn-back-on' angle, that's a big boost. Still, I don't think they'll be catching T-Bag real soon.
I hope the vet is alive so much and I want Sara back!
Sara's back next week! ;) And I really think the vet is alive, not that we'll see much more of him either way.
