Firsties!

Darn you Ed

Between this show and Project Runway, I don't think I've ever had so many laughs at Red Lobster's expense. I 'almost' felt sorry for Bellick. How embarassing must it be to have a junkie doctor that used to steal drugs from a hospital and stood around while a little boy lay dying in the street turn you down for a date? So she can stay home and work on her resume at that! At least she could have used the old my mom/aunt/cousin/best friend is in town excuse. Fake sounding sure, but at least plausible. But I guess Tancredi felt that if Bellick couldn't come up with a better idea for a first date than a gift card expensed dinner at Red Lobster off the interstate, then she didn't have to come up with a decent way to say no.

Great recap. This episode was pretty good.
If you looked at the wall with all the pics, you can see Abruzzi. I wish they would find a way to put sucres cousin in a room with t-bag, they belong together.

I was confused about that math trick too.

Dumb criminals:

1. Who would rob the same store TWICE?

2. Who would leave on America's Most Wanted on the tv when, in fact, you are a guest on their show? Find a favorite must-watch show on the same time slot at least. Of course, t-bag probably would rather get caught than watch UPN. A lot of us would.

I thought this episode was great. It stuck to the past while showing very few things we hadn't seen before. It was very interesting to learn that Linc was in all this trouble because he got in debt to help Michael get the life that he has. I'd say that's a pretty good reason for Michael to want to break Linc out of prison.

Doctor Tancredi as a junking was pretty shocking, although there had to be some reason that she was working at a prison rather than making the big bucks as a surgeon. I had to laugh at Bellick not being an asshole, yet still getting shot down for a gourmet dinner at Red Lobster. Oh, Dr. Tancredi is hot, junkie or not. There hasn't been a lot of the sexual tension between her and Michael recently, so who knows if that will go anywhere.

I think you are talking about the Sex and the City episode where Carrie's boyfriend Berger told Miranda that guy wasn't "that into her". That episode led to the now famous book by Greg Behrendt called "He's Just Not That Into You"

anyways...i loved this episode. It worked. And can I just say the Wentworth Miller looked hotter than hot in it???

Great recap! I love all the Moral Dilemmas!

This episode was really good, but I missed the prison...

if Terrance Steadman won't give yoi a bj, I am sure EdHill will. Great recap.

It was indeed a Lost episode. I was imagining how similar the show would be if this episode had been interspersed throughout the series. I hope we get to see more of their back stories.

I'm the one who first bitched about the 'flashback' episode 2 weeks ago. :) But I was very happy with this episode. Great recap too, sg-dub - Loved the 'Mighty Morphine Power Ranger'! Total shock that Dr Tancredi was a junkie. That may explain why her dad doesn't care much for what she has to say. He's the governor and having a drug addict daughter can't be too cool in his circuit.

I learned that math trick in the third grade and it helps me remember my 9 times tables to this day. It's actually very easy and it's called chisenbop.

Forget T-Bag's method. Hold your hands palm down in front of you. Whatever number you want to multiply by nine, count over that number of fingers starting with your left pinkie.

For example, 9 X 6. Starting with your left pinkie, count over six digits. You land on your right thumb. Fold that finger under. The answer is 54 because there are five fingers up to the left of the folded finger, and four fingers up to the right of the folded finger. Thus, 54.

9 X 3 fold down your left middle finger. You now have 2 fingers up on the left and 7 fingers up on the right giving you 27 as the answer.

Try it. It's pretty cool.

Great recap, my question is, why didn't that Cyril Wecht wanna be do a DNA test on the fake Terrance Steadman? It would be pretty easy considering his sister is in the next room.

This episode needed to be 2 hours long. I wanted to see ALL the backstories of those who wanted to escape involved, including DB Cooper.

I love that 9 times table trick, but I could never remember it. I just stuck to the plus one, minus one thing.

yes. yes it would.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

Was L.J. the kid on the bike (that Tancredi was too high to help) ??? It looked sorta like him. (Or am I confusing Prison Break flashbacks with Lost flashbacks)

I loved this episode. But wouldn't they have been able to test the video of Lincoln shooting the VP's brother to see if it had been doctored? I could have swore I saw them do that on an episode of CSI or Law&Order.

I don't know, if Bellick were coming after me with the promise of a Red Lobster gift card, I think the last thing I'd do is pursue a job working with him.

i was thinking the exact same thing. the show already used lost's characters crossing path in flashbacks element once with sucre and lincoln so i wouldnt be surprise if it did turn out to be a younger lj.
