Well, I wonder if Sucre gets tossed back into jail or if they literally shoot him down. I guess that is what the finally is going to cover, along with a lot of other stuff. Any word as to when it will be back?

What did the previews for next week show? My recording cut off right before the previews started. I still haven't figured out where Mahone came from when he crashed into Linc and Michael.

Loved Bellick's reaction to the "Brokeback" comment. Highlight of the show for me.

Previews showed Sucre being told to put on the chute and pray {basically}...

Interesting change of events on who died and who didn't. As usual with the show we're left thinking that character A dies when in fact character B does.

Anyway nice to see that Kellerman is being "erased" away from his relationship with Madame President. It sets up the stage for what some had already predicted, Kellerman turning on the company and his former boss (which he'll likely have to do to save his own butt).

Sarah actually answering Michael's cell phone call?!? Uh, didn't she lose the old phone already because it was getting her tracked?! Never mind that the new one would have a similar issue, or that Michael would have time to update his contact list for her while he's running for his friggin' life.

Mahone dealing with the "dealer" was to be expected. Don't mess with a guy that will kill you to get stuff done if necessary (same rules as per dealing with Jack Bauer really).

Only the one episode left though (fall "finale") and then the long break which is gonna suck, but at least it opens up a hour worth of TV time for me.

While Bellick's an ass, I'm not sure that he deserves a murder rap.
And they killed off Papa Burrows already?

I was surprised "dealer" gave up the truth about the plane. He wasn't getting anything out of it, presumably. He was getting his morphine back (or not) if he provided any plausible answer. I suspect Mahone's original arrangement fell by the wayside when Mahone went all Haywire.

Hey, where is Haywire? On this show, he's probably in the stall adjacent to sewing Sarah.

Yeah it's implausible but it's been that way since season 1, episode 1. I just sit back and enjoy the ride. I thought Michael and Lincoln would be "caught" at the end of next weeks show before they go on break but it happened a week early. Any episode with out T-bag isn't nearly as good though.

On the episode "Rendezvous" 2 weeks ago, Sarah bought two "disposable phones" after she and Michael reunited. I'm assuming he called that phone, and not the one she disabled back when she realized it was getting her tracked.

I completely agree, I'm very conflicted on the turn the story has taken with Bellick.

Though I must say, I have to give points to T-Bag for his frame job, very well done.

I would think one of the first things they do at a murder scene is dust for fingerprints and although a hotel room would have a ton of them, T-Bag,s should have been all over the place.

The drug that was being purchased for C-Note's daughter is dexamethasone and from her stomach symptoms she must be taking it for colitis.

true true--but T-Bag would only have half the chance to leave prints....

I wonder if that iron was on permanent press or cotton.

Instead of jumping out the window, Sarah should have grabbed Kellerman's gun while he was writhing in pain.

I thought Michael's tear jerker moments were kinda pathetic.

What are the odds that a great big color picture of the wife of an escaped con would be on the front page of the local yokel newspaper? And like I keep yelling at Linc, all she had to do was wear a hat.

Mahone must have a teleporter or belong to a set of quadruplets. He shows up everywhere.

Maybe they should dust for stump prints.

Did they mention anything about finding his hand behind the radiator at the house? That would at least prove he's in town.

Do the police know that T-Bag has had his hand cut off? They know he killed the vet guy back earlier in the season, but do they know why he was there in the first place? I mean, I know they could check it for prints, but by just finding the hand, would that indicate to them that it might be T-Bag's?

This is probably a comment for last week's thread (heck, this might be a thread-jumping smeek for all I know), but what's been bothering me is T-Bag's supposed ease of disposing of Bellick's buddy. I know he's a bad dude, but the guy is bigger than T-Bag and T-Bag has only one hand! Yet he backs off when seeing T-Bag like he's facing the Terminator or something.

Not the only unbelievable thing in this show, but that one got to me for some reason.

So T-Bag carved up Geary and then Bellick's unfortunate use of voice mail.

Bellick, Bagwell may have Geary's backpack, I want to give it back to his wife...

Loved the Brokeback comment.

Again no one can wear a disguise or get some change, you are on the run so how about skip your change if you have the drugs....

Man that was a hot iron, I'm thinking it was on Cotton.

I can usually let the stuff go that's unrealistic, but don't you think the cops that arrested C-Note's wife would have at least looked around the parking lot??!!

Especially since she never took her eyes off him. :rolleyes:

I thought the same thing, but then the pharmacist brought out the bag with the drugs when she came out of the back room with the change, so C-Note's wife had just given $200 and had no medicine to show for it.

I'd think the first thing they would do if they found a severed hand was run the prints on it.

I agree. I just didn't know if the police knew somehow about T-Bag's hand and that's what you meant, or if you were talking about the normal running of prints.

I thought that's what it looked like too, but I'm not positive.

I'm sure you're right, but the cops didn't find the severed hand. As far as we know, they didn't find anything in the house. The camera panned to the hand, which was behind the radiator, and the radiator was covered in blood, so the cops definitely should have seen it, but I don't think they did. Otherwise, the conversation between Bellick and the police chief would have been very different.

Interesting information, yet of no consequence to the plot.

There may be a consequence to the plot down the road when C-Note can't get the prescription refilled and she may have to be taken to an ER for treatment causing him to be caught by the police. And you know that he will feel guilty about his wife being arrested and will have to try to do something about it. Haven't you heard of setting up the storyline. Guess I won't bother to report any other tidbits I get from the show, you are on your own.

My point was regarding the specific drug, which as far as we know is not as important as is the fact that she needs it. Which of course is why she dropped it in the garbage bin when she saw the cops. She knew she would be caught, and left it there so he could get it after the police left.

Of course, he probably will try to get her out somehow.

Notice how none of this is contigent upon knowing the specific drug - it could be aspirin for all I care.

With all due respect, I did said "interesting information." My apologies if it wasn't genteel enough for you. :p

Of course we don't know if Geary knew that T-Bag had one hand. He probably saw his face and was immediately scared.

I thought the same thing, but then the pharmacist brought out the bag with the drugs when she came out of the back room with the change, so C-Note's wife had just given $200 and had no medicine to show for it.

The pharmacist had the drugs on the inner counter when she went in the back. She came out with the money, picked up the bag, and then began counting the change.

I would've thought that his wife was smart enough to know that when someone gets a good look at your face, then says that they have to do something that requires them to leave your sight, LEAVE.

I thought she was going to jump the counter and take the drugs, then leave.

About the T-Bag killing Geary so easily thing...Like someone else mentioned, maybe he didn't know T-Bag had only one hand and didn't T-Bag grab a bottle once he got in the room? One whack to the head could have given T-Bag enough of an advantage to start stabbing/cutting Geary with the broken bottle. May be a stretch, but I try to rationalize things on this show to keep it from becoming comical.

He was just providing a service to two lonely people. Love is beautiful thing... Brings a tear to know those two will never be reunited.

<snip>...but I try to rationalize things on this show to keep it from becoming comical.

Extremely fine line there :D

It seems these threads are about 10% plot points, and 90% picking on the absurdities of the remaining Fox River escapees. Death row inmates on the run who wear no disguise (oh wait, does a smirk count?), characters you can't kill (T-bag), tattoos that cover every contingency that could ever occur for the next two decades, fathers showing up after being gone for 20-30 years, only to die 3 minutes later, yada yada.

I watch the show for the roller coaster ride, but man, it's getting tougher to swallow . . . OTOH, I do keep coming back, and I suppose that's the writers' goal :rolleyes:

I thought it was interesting that Sarah had to pull the plug with her teeth, but she somehow had her hands free in time to burn Kellerman with the iron. Can't beat that kind of timing. :)

What are the odds that a great big color picture of the wife of an escaped con would be on the front page of the local yokel newspaper? And like I keep yelling at Linc, all she had to do was wear a hat.As said, it was the USA Today. Still, this show greatly overestimates the literacy of the populace. That AARP "Don't Vote.com" poll made it clear a lot of (the collective) us can't identify Condi Rice or Tony Blair. What are the chances someone X thousand miles from the prison is gonna recognize escapees or their wives .. even with the newspaper sitting on the counter.

I like the instant response time of the deputies (was it?), too. The pharmacist was barely off the telephone and they were pulling up to the store.

I was VERY close to ditching this Season Pass, but I'm glad I didn't. Much of it is ludicrous, but it's still a fun ride. It's as much of a cartoon as anything in that same hour on Fox Sunday.

The absurdities in this show are what MAKE the show. I mean really. My wife and I love it.

* Sucre, Linc, Michael, & Dad are doing whatever it is they're doing. Suddenly, out pops hybrid-cop, shooting at them! I tell my wife, "Dad's gonna die." Dad says, "You guys go on!" Dad's dead within minutes.

* Tancredi's just played nice and has pressed her former-possible-boyfriend's shirt. At no time does she grab his gun, but I figure, if she did, there wouldn't be any more plot complications. It's too easy to shoot the guy chasing you and give no leads to where you're going.

Actually the best part of this episode was the 24 preview!

The United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists. *KABOOM* Neither does Jack Bauer.

"You're hurting me!"
"Believe me. I'm not."

Can't wait 'til January.
