Made you look! Our good friend mamabird commented a couple of weeks ago that this show was getting very Burn Noticey, and it totally is. I love Burn Notice because it’s got that awesome breezy smirky 80s vibe going; Michael Weston is Magnum PI with McGyvery skills and a touch of Mr. Wizard (“Hey kids! [...]

Part of the fun with Prison Break is that you’re not meant to take it all that seriously, and yet it gives me more heartburn than anything else on television. Except maybe the news. Or anything that contains the words “Heidi” or “Spencer.” The point is, damn, people! More corpses this week, and more close [...]

Advice for Linc’s stunt double: Demand a bonus every time they hit you with a car. So hey, sorry about missing the first week of school, how tacky is that? A hurricane blew out my electricity for a week, you see, so my circumstances were totally extenuating. [Update: the posting of this recap was delayed [...]

Will he or won’t he? (Hint: Of course he won’t.) So um. Season finale? I’m pretty sure this wasn’t intended as such, but that’s what they’re calling it. I guess they’ll do a little mini-season in the fall made up of whatever was supposed to happen in the back half of season 3? They can’t [...]

I watch a lot of television. Many would say entirely too much television. And yet, this is somehow my very first episode of American Idol. I’m no TV snob – I loves me some America’s Next Top Model, and don’t get me started on Scott Baio – I just kind of never managed to watch [...]

*Cough* “Dude, you wanna hit this?” Oh man. This episode gave me a stomachache. Things look bad for pretty much everybody by the end of the hour. They pull off the super cool snorkel escape but encounter a number of obstacles, up to and including the fact that Whistler totally fucks them over. That boombox [...]

Big pole fall down go boom! As a couple of wise men once said, blame it on the rain! An inconvenient downpour moves up the time frame for the tunnel diggers. And while you’re at it, blame it on the surprisingly efficient backup generator, and the shady-but-maybe-not fisherman, and Sucre’s poorly chosen alias, and also [...]

“Para una BOOM grande en Español, marque el uno.” The body count isn’t quite Shakespearean this week at Panama’s most exclusive resort community, although it does approach (and kind of resemble, now that I think about it) your average episode of Deadwood. The power struggle between Lechero and Sammy bubbles to the surface, explodes, then [...]

“Only my icy blue glare can save me from the nightmarish heat of Death By Saran Wrapâ„¢!” So okay, everybody up to speed? With the scary Panamanian prison and the chicken foot deathmatches and the heads in boxes and the possibly shady Australians that sound like they’re from London? If not, you should take a [...]

Enjoy it, cause this is gonna have to tide you over till freaking February. At least. So yeah, did we forget to tell you earlier this was the Fall Finale? Well it is now! Whistler hasn’t been entirely honest about who he is, which surprises no one except Sofia. Linc whoops some ass, Mahone totally [...]

“Can you see my panties? Stop looking at my panties!” It’s two great eps that taste great together! Linc finally, finally has to tell Michael about Sara, which results in a really sad conversation and an unfortunate 1989 power ballad video montage. Lots of things alllllmost happen but don’t, including one decapitation and one prison [...]

“I am TRYING to watch FUTBOL!” Scopes and ropes and dope, oh my! They’re having trouble getting out, but Sucre manages to get some drugs in. Some new guy shows up saying he knows Whistler. Michael’s cool plan almost gets him a bullet in the head but the Birds of the Northwest Hemisphere save the [...]

I’m right there with you, dude. Oh yeah. They went there. That box was a red herring of the “it can’t possibly be that! It’s way too obvious! Oh wait, yeah, that’s exactly what it is.” variety. Linc can’t tell Michael and spends the entire episode looking like he’s about to puke. Susan confuses and [...]

“What’s in the box? What’s in the f#&king baahhhx?” Okay, Prison Break. You and I need to have a little talk. I’ve always loved you unconditionally, even when you’re implausible or silly or brutal. I was even okay with Kellerman gone, or Sara spending the entire season offscreen. And I know that you’re pretty good [...]

Walk softly and carry a big stick. And also a smoke machine. And the sewer is the star of the show this week at Sona, where the pipes, the pipes are sploding! Linc does like, several things that are clever, MacGyver Michael makes a triumphant return, and Bellick, blessedly, is finally clothed. Plus, Whistler is [...]

It’s the Prison Break season premiere, and hey, we’re back in a prison! Sona is pretty rough when there’s a muddy deathmatch on, but there are also beach umbrellas and recreational drugs, so in that respect it’s a step up from Fox River. Except that Bellick spends the entire episode in his tighty whiteys, and [...]

This week on Prison Break: Season Finale! Linc is exonerated! Bellick finds himself on the receiving end of some seriously nasty acts of violence! Kellerman saves Sara! Then Michael, Sara, Linc, LJ and Kellerman all sail off into the tropical sunset on a boatful of booze with Westmoreland’s cash and all live happily ever after. [...]

The penultimate episode of Prison Break Season Two, and hoo doggie! Dead hookers? Check. Kellerman in uniform? Check. Kellerman in a white T-shirt? Check. That right there is enough for a good episode, but we’ve also got screwdriver stabbings, double-crosses, triple-crosses, existential breakdowns, courtroom drama, Linc beating the hell out of people, and T-Bag saying [...]

Prison Break is back and it’s the home stretch! The Michael/Sara ship sails, but in a much more literal and significantly less sweaty sense than many of us had anticipated. Bellick and Sucre team up to find T-Bag, who finds himself a surrogate Suzie Q. Who in turn finds herself dead in a bathtub. Wheeler [...]

This week on Prison Break: C-Note’s okay! Whew. But before he can even change out of his hospital gown he’s handed yet another moral dilemma. We finally hear the tape, and in retrospect, I’m totally okay with them saving it for dramatic effect. Also, eeeeek! Michael gets his pretty little face smacked around pretty hardcore [...]

There are only four episodes of Prison Break left after this one. Four! This show is pretty much the definition of a one-season premise, and unless the last four are real stinkers they will have managed a better second season than some of my favorite shows ever (*cough*Lost*cough*). Kudos. Michael, Linc and Sara listen to [...]

This week on Prison Break: Hot damn! This episode was chock full of awesome, and I don’t think that’s just the Mardi Gras hangover talking. Not entirely. Anyway, Michael and Sara enlist the help of the former Warden Pope, who is still kind of sore about the whole thing where Michael played him like a [...]

This week on Prison Break, we’re reminded right off the bat that several different kinds of shit are poised to hit the fan. For example, before he was Michael’s best pal, Kellerman worked Dr. Sara over, and not in the good way, and only her stainless steel balls kept her from a watery, porcelain, claw-footed [...]

Linc, Michael and Kellerman need to get a message out on Prison Break, and it’s Fox News to the rescue! Dr. Sara’s back, yay! And no one’s even torturing her or anything! Bellick’s uppance looks like it might be coming, but he has some insight for Mahone. Haywire’s back, and hey, remember how he’s totally [...]
