I know all these guys were all headed to "Utah" but I thought it was funny that the college girl just happened to live in the same town.

I didn't get why Fitchner had to kill Tweener.

Anyways, I'm getting really bored with the main story, and I now find the conspiracy stuff far more interesting than whatever the escapees are up to.

I'm getting a little annoyed with the writers. What I think is going on is that they're getting so caught up in shocking the audience that they're planning storylines around it. Unfortunately, it's making for some bad story telling. They need to figure out some way to get more focus on the conspiracy and less on the chase because clearly, they are running out of good ideas for chase plot twists.

Wait so what exactly happened to Shales? Why did he kill Tweener? I'm confused. I really loved the twist about psycho FBI agent. I mean come on guys, you saw it coming, with his mad shakes and the pills. Don't say it's out of character.

Good ep but fucking stupid in all. Too many illogical things, like where were the other cops following with tweener? They KNEW Fichtner had him; how can they possibly say it was an attempt escape? I cant wait to see that explained. Plus the 2 bros splitting was stupid. Why get the kid now, its a trap, try giving some elaborate bullshit riddle that will say where to hook up. It almost worked before...

And the crazy dude making a twig boat? Cant wait. I have a feeling he'll be the only one to live and get away ala Con Air.

yeah I hate to admit this but I got blind sided by the whole cop showing up switch.. I thought for sure they had no way out at all!..

I should have known better....

sort of sucks the show goes off the air for baseball but guess there is just no way around that being baseball games seems to be at night.. meh.. oh well.. I'll wait for it to come back, same as last year..

No kidding - when the first season began the producers said that they had two seasons of the show plotted out. On what? A napkin?

On Michael's back.

Was disappointed Tweener died but still love this show. They surely can't kill off any more characters for a while.

As far as Abruzzi goes, as we saw, if he didn't get what he thought was one last shot at Fibonacci, then he would have just disappeared overseas with his family. His story was pretty much done either way. He obviously didn't care about the money, so they could have either shown him tracking down Fibonacci week after week, along with all the other storylines, or just end it sooner.

As far as Tweener goes, I actually felt myself feeling bad for him too, but then again, that makes his death all the more meaningful. Even though he annoyed the hell out of me in the beginning, it was at least a little easier to feel some sympathy for him this season. If it were C-Note or Sucre that went down instead, then it would have been a little more "eh, so what?"

Not only that, but it's good to see a show that isn't afraid to kill off characters at a time that isn't the season finale.

Mahone could have said that he was going to drive him back to Illinois, or at least a local airport or FBI field office. Either way, the Tooele cops would most likely have stayed in Tooele.

As far as how he's going to explain it, he could just say that Tweener got the planted gun off him and he had to defend himself.

I'm sure they'd be aware that it could be a trap, but from their POV, if it isn't a trap, then whoever is behind the conspiracy would be interested in taking LJ out, seeing as he knows quite a bit. Lincoln knows that the conspiracy people have no problem killing whoever they want (Veronica, LJ's parents, etc), so as far as he's concerned, it's worth the risk to try and get to LJ before they do.

Apparently when he caught up with Shales, he killed him instead of bringing him in.

And I was expecting something to happen, given how we've seen Mahone act so far. Heck, I was expecting him to say that he was the one who left the trail of bodies, not Shales.

The whole super cop killing tweener

I thought they would continue to shake him down, offer him deal after deal until he gave up the info.

They have a nation wide man-hunt... they finally catch one of them and the best deal they could offer him to talk was no additional time, and club-Fed?

Yeah, except for the shock value, his death didn't make much sense. What else can you expect from this show?

I got some satisfaction from the shooting, because every time he was on screen, I saw Kevin Federline.

So let's see, they've killed Abruzzi, Veronica, Nick, Westmoreland, Tweener, and Gov. Tancredi; and both the VP and her brother (RIP another actor) had the sense to get on better shows. Anyone else?

While this may be the dumbest show to air in years, I have to give them credit for at least killing people off.

Yeah, that's one thing that's good about Prison Break. They don't F--- around. They've killed Abruzzi, Veronica, Nick, Westmoreland, Tweener, and Gov. Tancredi, AND LJ's mom, mom's boyfriend, black lady, and more.

Let me guess, Sucre takes the cop lady, the money and runs away?

I wish I could say this show is a train wreck, but no train wreck has ever caused this much rubbernecking.

As incompetent, idiotic, and ridiculous as it is, I still...can't...turn...away

Exactly. I swear I read an article before the season started that quoted someone for the show saying how it had way too many bad/corrupt/psycho people and that was why they were putting in a basically good FBI, because to do otherwise would just seem too much. Lame fakeout, I guess, but they were right that it just seems a bit too much...

maybe they're just going to slowly kill the other cons so they can eventually just focus on the brothers?

Bear in mind that Fincher killed Tweener because "They" told him to. Who is "They"?

1. The voices in his head?
2. The president's vast conspiracy?
3. The Others?

Also, it seems that while Fincher flips to Evil, they're going to have the secret service guy (Paul?) flip to Good.

I forgot about Kellerman. We didn't get the "save the day" payoff with Tancredi yet, did we?

Pretty hard to flip Paul to Good after the stuff he's done, but it does look like they're going to try. It's definitely helped that Patricia Wettig moved on. I like her as an actress, but the VP/Prez character was absolutely dreadful. Reggie Lee's go-between character is more interesting.

das

No, they just showed her by the drugs and then a shadowy figure behind her.

They'll probably flip him to a good guy, then she'll chose Michael over him thus sending him back to bad guy mode and there's season 3.

Well, the way the show is going, once he goes "good guy" he'll be dead in an episode or two anyway...

Also, am I the only one who thinks that Sucre isn't interested in stealing the money, but turning the rest of them in in order to get a better deal for himself? He flipped out right after the cop was talking to him, so it seemed to me that he's now interested in at least possibly having a future relationship with his kid as she grows up.

probably sucre and michael have a deal going

I thought Fichtner was going to chanel his character in "Go" when he was looking at Tweener at the end of the episode before he decided to inflict some personal justice.

I think Sucre and Benjamin have some kind of a plan, remember they rode in together on the motorcycle. They could have worked up a plan to grab all the money for themselves. It just makes me think when Sucre came in and and told everyone to drop everything, Benjamin had a grin on his face.
