There is something seriously whack about me still watching Prison Break.
I mean, what the heck keeps me tuned in when obviously the show has lost all sense of creativity and direction? Why do I NEED to see what happens every week when it really doesn’t matter?
I dunno, but the season finale is next Monday and of course I’ll be there.
That was the escape?
Okay, let’s go over what has happened all season to make this big escape work.
Nevermind, scratch that. None of it mattered. All they did was dig a tunnel and walk out of the yard.
That’s it.
I’ve never been so disappointed in this show. Michael’s whole plan was based on the following hope:
That the guards at Sona were idiots.
With a yard full of guards, trucks, guns, towers, lights and dogs, the four people not captured just walked out of the tunnel, rolled under a few trucks and busted through the gate.
Do you honestly think that could have worked? That no one would have turned and seen them make it for the fence?
Heck, even the writers knew it was impossible because they didn’t even FILM them breaking through the fence. They realized how ridiculous it was and hoped skipping it would lessen the embarrassment.
Sadly, it didn’t.
Everything else was decent, but I still don’t see why the chick holding L.J. and the Whistler’s woman sent people after them to try and kill them. Why not bring the kid along and do the meet?
There is so much far-fetched stuff in the show that it’s just impossible to believe, even if you do try to ignore most of it and just have fun. It’s just too much to handle.
Sarah Connor Chronicles
Even my wife said The Sarah Connor Chronicles was way better than Prison Break this week.
Although she added “that’s not saying much really.”
But despite a few laughable lines between John and Cameron, the episode was pretty good. We find out Kyle Reese has a brother named David Silver from the 90210 zip code.
Okay, his name was Derek, but will Brian Austin Green ever be known for anything else?
The big point of this episode was The Turk computer being rebuilt by Adam, who is killed by someone who we assumed to be Derek, but later found out is innocent.
The Turk loses at a chess game, but somehow I have the feeling that it was acting too human and that’s why it lost. It make a mistake, it got nervous, it didn’t think with its mind, but went with its instinct instead, which is very human and potentially dangerous.
It’s pretty obvious The Turk could be Skynet.
Meanwhile, James Ellison, the FBI agent on their tail, found the arm of the Terminator which was after Derek. Not sure yet what he’ll think when he sees this or if it will even be a surprise.
That Terminator was actually killed by Cameron in a nifty dissection of the head to pull out a chip. I thought that seemed fairly easy and an obvious spot you might shoot at to kill it (since it was so easy to pop the cap off with a SWITCHBLADE), but it was still nice to see Cameron kick some ass.
Derek is shot and needs help, so John runs and grabs Charley Dixon, Sarah’s boyfriend in the pilot and whom John tried to see in the second episode. Charley hasn’t seen Sarah yet, and lied to Cromartie when he came looking for her.
And now we have a whole new mystery of the girl at the school who is guarding some secret from everyone. Could it possibly be related to the future and Skynet? Somehow…I think it is.
Dude, I’m and so into the Sarah Chronicles and I’m not sure why. I think it’s more for the story and what may have happened between T2 and T3. I think you saw my post from when they showed a re-run. Killed me. This week was really good and I agree with your assessments.
I enjoyed Cameron’s line “I call 9 MM” after John calls shotgun. It’s nice to get a little humor from a robot without a sense of humor.
Dude, you gotta let go of “Prison Break.” It’s like a drug, and you are an addict. Make a clean break. I did it. My wife did it. Some of our friends have done it. You can do it to. The show is no good. It’s bad for your soul. It’s taking away parts of your life that you can never get back. You think the show cares about you but it doesn’t. It doesn’t care about you. It doesn’t respect you. It doesn’t want to know what you’re thinking or feeling. It doesn’t care when it hurts you with it’s lies and deceit. Let it go.
Jason A Clark’s last blog post..Roy Scheider 1932-2008
Dude, I just figured I’d start this off with “dude” since I spotted a trend going on…
Jeff – “I call 9MM” was pretty funny. The episode was much better than the previous ones I agree and it’s starting to settle down a bit. I still think that Cameron should have some kind of special kick-butt weapon to kill these guys, but at least we did see her actually DO it last night…there IS a way for them to be killed.
Jason – I’m not sure if I can do it man…one last episode…do I quit this drug or have one last fix?
Dude (staying with the trend), PB is slowly killing me. It’s the meth of TV and we’re hooked. To be honest, the main reason I’m watching the show now is to see ‘bad girl with perfect lipstick’ (that’s what I call her) get wacked. Seriously, I don’t care that much about anything else, but I wont rest until she’s taking a dirtnap. UGH! Hate her and hate myself for not be able to let go. There’s got to be a support group out there somewhere.
On the flip side Sarah Connor seems to be getting better. Best line of the season so far ‘I call 9mm’. Love it. And how can we not love the resurrection of Brian Austin Green’s career, at least for a few episodes.
Final thought -Happy Birthday Mikey! Yep, I said it!

H A P P Y B – D A Y M O !!!!! =)
Thanks guys!
Dude, let me start by saying I don’t usually (and won’t again) watch the plague that is PB. As for Sarah Connor, I think this is the second episode I’ve seen, but anything with David Silver in it has my attention. Now if only those other kids from West Beverly would find something to do.
Dylan tried, but that crazy HBO show flopped…whatever it was, the surfer show…
I was kidding… those kids are all over the place. Are you losing your sense of humor in your old age. Or… is it that I was always the funnier one? Yes, I think that’s it.
Huh, looks like I didn’t get this one……guess what’s coming!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKEOLBINSKI!!!
