Well Brokeback's favorite show is back on :D (and apparently SLY likes it also)
They track down the president's brother, and now he is dead.
I LOVE the turn coat Secret Service guy. Even as he is gonna shoot someone in the knees he has such a nice smile about him. Also, the drugged out guy that played on Invasion. He is a GREAT addict!! Also, look for those two to hook up.
Can we please see the Girlfriend

Yes i am eager to see how they are going to get out of this pickle now surrounded by cops. I also love the turn coat secret service guy.....great line...."If you leave that cell phone on, they can track us.......Its a secret service phone, you can't track this.....but thanks" haha.

I also forget everyone names....but the plots twists are good.

You are going to love to see how they get out of this one. The phone call is key. The next 4-5 epidodes are the ones that I received partial scripts to read for and they were for the that storyline. Let's just say it wouldn't have been a stretch for me in the character I was up for if I could've auditioned as requested.

I knew the president's brother wasn't involved in what goes down next, but I kind of thought he might escape. That ending was unquestionably a shocker.

The preview for next week showed some of the other storylines coming back into play. But they focused this episode (rightly so) on the brothers.

Anybody else disappointed the agent with the history didn't die? I think that made for a great plot twist. But instead they kept him alive although he's obviously no as loose a cannon as the other dude with the brothers.

I usually watch this while I am at work, but with my schedule changing to have me off on Mondays I had to take a "daddy hour" away from the kids to watch it (Lady and the Tramp on upstairs and PB downstairs ... how is that for polarization in elevation?). Even Mrs. Sly sat down with me since she knew how much I am down with this show. Since she was up for a part that fit her type (if she hadn;t been 8 months pregnant) even she was jazzed as she figured out what was going down.

All this brings up a point. I know Fox only has two hours of prime time to work with, but shouldn't PB on an hour later? Its not exactly family-friendly fare.

I DVRed this in favor of watching my Huskies shoot 20%. I walked into the other room after the game was over and I saw the president's brother on the ground. Apparently my wife was watching it but had paused it at some point and I walked in right at the shocker. Needless to say I won't be sitting on the edge of my chair. Also, I read this thread because I stopped caring about being surprised. Anyway, anybody see Heros? That was good. Probably not. I assume everybody was watching 24 instead.

I admit I find Heroes rather entertaining as well. But as soon as PB was done, I had to run upstairs and do the father thing.

I ditched '24' in favor of 'Heroes'. How did they get Syler back in his cage? I must have missed that part. I'm curious to see where the Chris Eccleston thread is going. I also get the feeling it was a big mistake for the Cheerleader to start jumping off industrial equipment again.

everywhere I've read about this, people have wondered about Sylar. I beleive that the chick shot herself, I don't remember him getting out. But I initially thought he had escaped as well.

I had to break down and get the two receiver DVR from Dish Network. so that I can watch/record Heroes and 24 (or Heroes and PB, can't remember which ones come on at the same time!) Well worth the investment even tthough I have yet to see heroes

Sly I was wondering after this week if the new FBI agent was the roll you were up for or was it someone else????


I don't know how they do it, but this show continues to impress me...just when I think the writers have written themselves into a corner they do something that blows me away...I love this show so much

man, that boat was niiiiiiiiice :nod . Sometimes this show just goes in circles which gets very tired. The last few weeks have been pretty good though.

that boat was nice!! I wouldn't have left.....haha....of course its a woman that makes Micheal weak...that and freaking t-bag

The show does go in circles some...but at the end of every episode you are always wanting more...at least I am....I love this show...I don't watch much tv at all, but I catch this show every single week....

I was up for a role as a television photographer.

A lady we know here in Houston who battles my mother-in-law for all of the Hispanic grandmother roles was the store clerk Michael talked to in this week's episode.

On an unrelated note, my agent has Mrs. Sly & I auditioning for bit parts in an upcoming Halle Berry movie filming here in Texas. Those pay EXTREMELY well even for just a day or two fo work.

Obviously one of my favorite shows!!
Not sure where they are gonna go with this. It seems they are pulling things out of the hat at this point, all though they have been good plot twists. Does anyone else wanna B Slap that little asian character? He looks like such a lost puppy! I wish they would have kept the former prison guard, Bellick?, and had HIM try to escape. The president stepping down was a SWEET move. She is a smart cookie

I hate that asian guy!! and not just his character...just him in general...he is the most annoying looking person i have ever had to look at in my entire life....I hope he dies soon

Anyone else think that was one crazy episode......and what the heck is SONA? I can't believe i have to wait like 6 months to find out!

I'm glad it's back to a prison based show. That's what made it good. I really didn't like this season much. I kinda just wished they had ended it. Heck, they could have just made a spin off show about Tbag's life in prison. That would be a great charactor to base a show around.

Prison Break - Mexican Style. Now the tables turn - Will Lincoln free his brother.

I think he won't. Next Season Lincoln will just forget about his brother, hook up with his girl and move back to the states. Then his brother will escape and track his brother down and frame him for the death of the Presdient's Sister. He will go back to jail and then Michael will have a change of heart and save his brother gain from another prison in the States. He still has room for some more tats.

Great Show - 10 times better than 24. 24 is to busy bringing back old people from past seasons.

I'm a 24 freak but Prison Break may lap it if they do the next season right. I just started watching towards the end of the season so I'll have to go back and watch the beginning.

They did set up an interesting Season 3.

Something tells me that could be a showtime or HBO serious but with all his "issues" how are you really going to evolve him on network TV?

i don't think sara will step out on michael. Linc may put her in a compromising position, but she will stay true......she is also a nice looking lady as well. maybe michael, bellick and mahone team up to do a new breakout.

I was taking care of my kids downstairs in the Fox den and running upstairs to catch bits & pieces of what was going on. Everytime I'd leave the room with them in a precarious and I'd return and they'd be somewhere else. I admit I could see the prison sequence at the end coming (even though that wasn't in the scripts I had portions of beforehand). Having Michael and his renegade FBI agent mental match in the big house together, it presents some terrific scenarios next fall.

And how about that military set up at the end? I love this show and I agree that the jailhouse portions of the show back at the beginning of the series were better than the guys on the lam.

So I finally watched last nights episode......wow....I don't even know what to say....it ended and I am just like, "holy crap...what just happened?"

I love this show...and next season could be very, very good....this season was good, but there were a few episodes that did not accomplish anything....the first season there wasn't a single "ok" episode, they were all amazing

I look forward to next season and seeing how all of this plays out....its going to be a crazy ride, thats for sure

6 months though?? dang....

Best show on tv, besides the office, but they're in a completely different categories so it doesn't matter.

I think next season will be really good...do you think bellick was supposed to be dying in the ending scene??? I think if he's around, at least for a couple episodes, they could do some really interesting stuff with it, especially considering Mahone hired him to catch Scofield. I won't be suprised if T-bag ends up in the same prison.

Michael = Genetically engineered experiment a la a more cerebral "Bourne" ??...from the "You know he'll escape." "Yes, I know, it's in his blood."

Almost as if they've put him like a lab rat in these situations (a la Skinner's box, also a metaphor that LOST is employing in its paradigm) to see how he'll respond, etc.

Will be interesting to see if and how many other superintelligent "Michael's" are out there.
