I am totally against the abuse of women, but that VP needs to get beat down Ike Turner-style. I hated that bitch on "Thirtysomething" and I hate her on this show.

You know that an episode is bad when the most believable plot point is the deus ex machina at the beginning.

For a guy that needs to get out of prison so soon he sure wastes his time he walked around underground like he had all the time in the world. Next weeks episode should be one of the best.

You ARE being sarcastic, right?

This show has absolutely no suspense whatsoever. Did anybody (and I mean ANYBODY) think that Lincoln was going to get fried? And did anybody (and I mean ANYBODY) think that the guards were going to find them hiding the concrete in the guard house? And did anybody (and I mean ANYBODY) think that Michael was going to be discovered missing from his cell? I mean, come on! If ANY of these things happened, voila, the show's over.

If they want to build suspense, they really need to get better writers -- writers that know how to create situations that put these characters in believable jeopardy.

Everyone knows they are going to get of course but they don't know how or when. Beside for the fact that they are going to get out no one can say this show is predictable.

It has been really weird, with the first half of the season being really interesting or suspenseful, but these past 2 episodes of the 2nd half have been just marking time or treading water, it seems.

Did anyone really see him getting burned badly enough that he would have to go to medical?

Doubtful.

Stuff does happen to them to curb their escape, but its rare.

Agree, and they're going to use this in a different angle which Michael can use to his advantage...

I hear ya... but i think as a viewer, we're suck in by the drama. Yes, we can reasonably guess what's gonna happen and the points mentioned above are pretty "obvious" since they have to that else the show has to turn into a totally different angle. However, ever watched a movie version of a book that you read maybe a few times? You know the ending or almost every plots, but if the movie is good (or even okay), you still go along with it

I'm not saying Prison Break is great, but it's something you can enjoy w/o thinking too much (alot of things don't make sense if you think too hard, but if it's too obvious, then it's not good).

T Bag is a great character and the actor is very good. You really can picture him molesting dead children and yeah u truly want to see him get clipped but at the same time you need someone to hate
