Rare is the show that makes me with for the most greusome death for EVERY character - we've gotten a couple, but we need more, WAY more!

In addition to them dying in the worst ways possible, I would like them to get brutally raped, Irreversible style - including the show's writers.

It's the only catharsis that would work for watching this stupefying show.

I keep asking my wife when she is going to pull the plug on it. I think she is finally getting close.

The wife pointed out that she didn't think T-bag would be smart enough to go to the map room.
I said does it really matter? Sucre stopped in the middle of nowhere and out of 1000's of love chapels in Las Vegas, the one place he stopped happen to have the number for the wedding on the phone booth?

This might be too nitpicky, but I was bugged that they mentioned the phone number was out of service for 17 years. The number had a 736 area code and before 1995, all area codes had to have a middle digit of either one or zero. This was changed in the mid-90's to allow more phone numbers for fax machines and cell phones. So a 736 area code would not have even existed 17 years ago.
True, but many area codes were "split" after 1995. For instance, in the mid 1990s, all of the phone numbers in Atlanta inside the perimeter highway were assigned the 404 area code, while those outside the perimeter were assigned 770. So, the phone number I had growing up was once 404-972-xxxx but is now 770-972-xxxx. I suppose if a prefix (exchange) is unused in a split area code, you'd know that the number originally belonged to the "classic" area code.

I am such a dork!

I'm pretty sure they showed him going down a list until he got the right one.

speaking of... this hasn't been discussed yet, but what does everyone think is the significance of this phone number, if it's been out of service for so long??

C-Note: "I see you are selling that truck. How much are you asking for it?"

Older woman looks the black man up and down.

Woman: "I don't think you can afford it."

That had me laughing and I'm black.

I was thinking maybe it's not a phone number at all. Maybe it's code for where Fibonacci is .

Entertaining, but it's getting harder and harder to suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy this show.

It's tattoo coordinates for his you-know-where. He was being romantic.

Agreed completely.

Last year was a blast.

This year, not so much.

I hope they come back after the playoffs with some new focus.

The writers' plans from the beginning was to have 1 season pre-breakout and one season following them after they escaped.

That isn't what the creator said in the "Making of" documentary on the Season 1 dvd set. He claimed he had the first 4 (or was it 5?) seasons planned out already.

Nope. There are two too hot men on the show. No reason to stop watching now.

Bret Ratner said that when the creator pitched him the show, he had 5 seasons maped out.
