Yeah like they haven't all showered together in prison. Michael is Linc's brother and none of them are gay so what's your point? Homophobic much?

Really? I swear I saw him fall down with a bunch of holes in his chest (which were leaking enough blood to dispell the "bulletproof vest" theory).

I had a hard time watching this episode. I often found myself pausing it in wierd spots (non-commercial breaks) to go do something else and then coming back. No where near as intently as I'd watched it last season. Perhaps the goal last season was so specific. This general "there's $5 million in Utah" is so broad, I have little concept of what finding the money is really going to do for them in terms of exposing the conspiracy.

Also, I know Patricia Wettig is going to be on Brothers & Sisters (with a few former ALIAS castmates). Does that mean that she wont be involved at all as the President in this season?

I don't think that Michael and Lincoln are planning to expose the conspiracy with the money. I'd imagine that they're going to try and use it to help them get out of the country and live comfortably once they're gone. Remember, he was planning on getting to the DB Cooper money before he even knew there was a conspiracy.

Now that I think of it, how much does Michael really know about the conspiracy? We saw that Veronica and Nick learned quite a bit about it, but how much did we see them pass along to Lincoln? It's possible that for all Michael knows, it's just a matter of Lincoln being mistakenly convicted.

T-Bag is scum, but Knepper does an awesome job of playing him. He's kind of like President Logan from 24 last season, where a part of me wants to see him go down, but another part hopes he stays around forever because he's so compelling to watch.

Bellick made me laugh when he said, "After all that aggravation, I hope you got to hit that a few times, Scofield!"

It's been noted in past threads, but the number of innocents that Micheal's plan has screwed is disturbing.

Veronica - killed
Nick Savrinn - killed
Nick's father - killed
Agent Hale - killed
LJ - in prison
LJ's mom - killed
LJ's stepdad - killed
C.O. who found the hole in the cell - killed
Lic's Bus Driver - killed
Lic's Bus prison guard 1 - killed
Lic's Bus prison guard 2 - killed
Westmoreland - dead
Dr. Tancredi - almost OD
Warden Pope - fired and secret son revealed
POTUS - killed
The veterinarian - killed
The good samaritan father - presumed killed

Ok course this would be only one day in the 24-verse.

Those are the only ones you can attribute to the escape, which is all his plan was. The conspiracy stuff was seperate and could have happened if he never even became an inmate.

These are the ones that really bother me. Michael is directly responsible for TBag getting out, so in my view, he's partially responsible for these deaths as well. He's not the same innocent person whose only goal was to bust out an innocent convict. He now has blood on his hands (even if it is indirectly).

Ironically, he's now more deserving to be in prison than Linc is.

Just gotta say, I love this show.

All the twists and turns and everything going wrong does piss me off, but it still makes my day. There are many points in every episode this season where I'm watching wide eyed on the edge of my seat.

I like quite a few of the characters and only dislike a couple(Tweener, T-Bag)
It totally sucks Abruzzi died but he had it comin leaving his family.

Overall, great show, very likely written to be over the top and just flat out enjoyable.
