Has there been official word that it will return in January? I don't think it will or should.

goddamn it, you have the guy temporarily disabled, HE will not stop until he kills you - You pick up the gun and shoot him until the gun is empty.

I know, I'm so tired of shit like this. You would rather jump out a window and through a car windshield than shoot a psychopath who is trying to kill you? Why not grab the gun even if, for some reason, you don't want to use it?

Can someone refresh my memory as to why Linc and Michael have different last names but seem to have the same father.
I think this was addressed early last season, but I can't remember. Thanks.

Also, if anyone wants MAJOR spoilers as to what happens next week, there is an article in next weeks Tv Guide.

Mine cut off, but my DVR's preview says:

Spoiler:
T-Bag tries to track down the missing Mrs. Hollander; Sucre's escape plane faces deadly turbulence; the tables turn on Bellick upon his return to Fox River; Michael and Lincoln are taken into custody and transported back to Fox River.

TV Guide says that FOX is strongly considering making the 2nd half of the season start in late January. Some other TV publication quoted a FOX person saying it's a done deal mainly because FOX doesn't have any backup midseason programming. Thus if this is true, the season will end by March.

Not only that, but it looked like she aimed for the windshield?

Some of the "coincidences" never bothered me before, but when that pharmacist just happened to see the front page of the "Fugitive News", I . I don't know why it bothered me, it just did..

I don't know about you, but every new face I see each day gets immediately checked against this: http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fug.../fugitives.htm
- it is called being a responsible citizen.

So...if they can just erase people from all documents...why not do that with Sarah instead of killing her? I'm sure that agent guy may have just as much damning information as Sarah might have. If they're willing to risk that and not kill him, why kill anybody?

Because they think Sarah has some very important evidence (which she does, she just doesn't know it yet). they're either trying to get that info from her or kill her so she can't leak it out to the public.

I enjoy this show but I too am getting really annoyed with the lazy writing. So Sarah not only managed to drain the tub before drowning but she managed to get herself untied form the chair. How? She just did.

And if you've got the wife of one of the most wanted fugitives in the country trying to fill a prescription, wouldn't it maybe be a good idea to maybe see which vehicle she heads for rather than arrest her as she comes out of the store? Or at least scan the parking lot to see if her husband is waiting 20 feet away & making no effort to hide his face.

Oh & hey, how about snapping a cell phone picture of that dead body and sending to me so I can make sure you carried out our super secret evil plan?

That is part of police training:

Rule #43 - take the suspect immediately into custody and bring them to the station for questioning. Ignore the 2 cars parked in the parking lot - even if one of them is a camper.

It's funny what this show has become. Just

I kinda feel bad for Sucre and what he's got coming.

And they know for sure Secret Service guy either doesn't know she might have something that he might try to get his paws on or doesn't have some damning evidence of his own stashed away? I don't buy it. The Corporation's hands are dirty as hell. What's another body on the count? They're making the same mistake that Sarah and Michael have made -- they're leaving loose ends.

How soon will the cop who is investigating Bellick turn out to be part of the conspiracy?

I'm curious as to where they're going there. Will Michael and his guilty mind feel the need to somehow make it right? I hope not. Bellick deserves prison.

Who said they're not gonna kill him?? They're erasing all of his pictures so he can't be linked back to them. just because they didn't do it this episode doesn't mean their not gonna go after him in future episodes.
