That's not the idea they seemed to want to create out of the scenes in the episode if you ask me. I think they probably thought it cool to show that they can just erase somebody and wanted to suggest that's how they deal with agents who fail them. If they clean this up later by killing him, I'll be happier with the way it played out.

I also loved how the brothers were able create so much space between themselves and the FBI guy on the open road when he was only a hundred yards or so from them when they started driving. The FBI guy would have been hauling ass to catch up with them and I think his govt. car would have easily caught the beater that the brothers are in.

Why chase them when you can pull over to the side and wait for them to make a u-turn so you can hit them on their way back?

The fireball that they had when he hit them was hilarious.

Oh yeah, the female cop suggesting that maybe Bellick and Geary were "going Brokeback"

I bet Secret Service agent guy will team up with Michael and Link to expose the conspiracy and Bellick will end up wooing the lady cop and going after T-Bag. She'll double-cross him and team up with Haywire. Meanwhile Sucre will coincidentally parachute right through the sunroof of Sarah's getaway car and they'll all meet up in a big warehouse where Stacy Keach (the warden) will arrest everyone and bring them back to Fox River, where Bellick is now on death row, and they'll have to escape again.

I think they should shoot down Sucre's plane and kill him. C-Note should turn himself in for the release of his wife. They've essentially already written Haywire off the show (or at least completely ignore him every week). Abruzzi is already dead along with Tweener.

That would leave Michael, Lincoln and T-Bag. I think getting rid of everyone else could only help this show at this point.

THE “BREAK” IS OVER WHEN “PRISON BREAK” RETURNS FOR MORE NONSTOP ACTION BEGINNING MONDAY, JANUARY 22, ON FOX
Released by FOX
[NOTE: The following article is a press release issued by the aforementioned network and/or company. Any errors, typos, etc. are attributed to the original author. The release is reproduced solely for the dissemination of the enclosed information.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE BREAK IS OVER WHEN PRISON BREAK RETURNS FOR MORE NONSTOP ACTION BEGINNING MONDAY, JANUARY 22, ON FOX

Series Returns with One-Hour Special Recapping Season Two

Following its action-packed Fall Finale on Monday, Nov. 27 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), PRISON BREAK returns with all-original episodes for the rest of the season, beginning Monday, Jan. 22 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) with a special one-hour recap of Season Twos first 13 episodes. The final episodes of the season will air without repeats beginning Monday, Jan. 29 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

After engineering a daring escape from FOX River Penitentiary, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), his wrongly convicted brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) and six other convicts began the race of their lives to avoid capture and ultimately death at the hands of Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner), the FBI agent in charge of the nationwide manhunt. Michael remains determined to prove his brothers innocence and reveal the conspiracy that put him on death row, and he and Lincoln have stayed one step ahead of Mahone, who has been revealed to be part of the Company that framed Lincoln in the first place.

Spoiler:
In the exciting Fall Finale on Monday, Nov. 27, T-Bag (Robert Knepper) goes postal, determined to track down a missing Mrs. Hollander. Sucre's (Amaury Nolasco) escape plane faces deadly turbulence while Bellick (Wade Williams) has the tables turned on him upon returning to Fox River. Michael and Lincoln are taken into custody, forcing Mahone and Kellerman (Paul Adelstein) to take drastic measures to ensure that the brothers make it to the prison's morgue instead of their cells. And a surprising ally changes the game for everyone.


PRISON BREAK is an Adelstein-Parouse Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Paul Scheuring, Matt Olmstead, Marty Adelstein, Dawn Parouse, Neal Moritz, Kevin Hooks and Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand) are executive producers. Zack Estrin is co-executive producer.

I know. When that happened, I was wondering if the boys were hauling TNT in their trunk or something.

The car T-boning was just ridiculous, as was the inept assassination attempt by SS man, the pharma-cops leaving the scene immediately with the wife, and a bloody, battered, soaking wet Sarah somehow making it to a pubic bathroom without leaving a trail or witnesses.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Belick make his threatening phone call from the hospital, which he didn't leave until they were bringing in his partner's body? Conjecture based on preview info:
Spoiler:
The previews indicate Belick is going back to Fox River as a prisoner. I don't see how that would be possible, besides the difference between jail and prison, isn't he in another state?

I do agree the writing is getting rather sloppy. I completely predicted what would happen to Bellick at the beginning of the episode.

Still the show is solid enough especially in comparison to some of the other junk on TV today.

That's what I thought too. Plus he wouldn't go there before any trial.

I find the 'arrest' of Bellick to be absurd. It should be easy to figure out that he was at the hospital getting treatment at the time of the murder.

I'd be shocked if Sucre's plane went down, for two reasons:

1) They already showed that Sucre's girlfriend's ex-fiance knows where she was heading, so they were basically setting up a confrontation between him and Sucre in Mexico.

2) Sucre is one of the few people who hasn't really betrayed Michael (he's faked it a bunch of times), and Michael has risked himself several times to save Sucre (such as with the "motorcycle into the river" stunt), so for dramatic effect, he's a prime candidate down the road to actually betray Michael.

I am enjoying the female detective character. She seems like she teleported in from a down-home procedural series like CSI: Tribune, Kansas. She kind of reminds me of the cop in Fargo. I say they give her a spin-off on CBS.

Not a good picture, but she reminds me of this actress:

I think you missed my point. I'm saying they could make the show better by have Sucre's plane get shot down with him in it and get rid of C-Note by having him turn himself in for the release of his wife.

I think they should drop all the other story lines except for Michael & Link and perhaps keep T-Bag. Every other prisoner storyline is just dragging the show down.
