S P O I L E R S

Another follow-up on Prison Break: Why is the talented Dr. Sara Tancredi being grilled so hard for leaving the door to the infirmary open? For starters, Scofield dropped into the very same infirmary via the ductwork in one of the early episodes to save her from being mauled or whatever during the the prison riot. Secondly, it's just a wooden door with (security) glass inserts. Not a huge barrier considering that they also have to pop the iron bars off the freakin' window to get out of the room, over the cables and over the gate.

Finally, and I can't stress this enough: THEY CHISELED THEIR WAY OUT OF A CELL AND DUG A GOD-DAMMED HOLE INTO THE GUARD'S BREAKROOM. If the infirmary door was locked then we'd all expect Scofield to look at his tattoos for a few minutes before saying something like 'Oh crap, guess we better go back. I know a few of us can hotwire cars and rip off a wallet undetected but I didn't plan on having to pick a lock.'

Whatever. Although there were a lot of ridiculous roadblocks halfway through the first season but overall the show is pretty solid. I'm really liking this season as well -- it's looking to be a marked improvement over the 24-esque final four episodes last season. If they bring back Veronica from her chopped-up-into-little-pieces-vacation I'm going to file some sort of class-action lawsuit, I swear. The teasers with Billick seem to be showing off his own version of evil-genius but come on, the guy rolled one of the escapees with a hamburger (!) and got him admit something as nebulous as 'Scofield is planning to break out of prison.'

Also, T.J. will be kidnapped and held for ransom. Billick's mother is the new Vice-President. Since they lost the backpack with the key to the locker filled with the extra spending money, Scofield sells his skull for advertising space. The blind guy from Contact will sit for hours pondering (in a drug-induced haze) why Scofield added the Reebok logo above his ear. Sucre ends up in Vegas but can't follow Maricruz since a bunch of wierdos with funny sunglasses and ultraviolet lights are examining the motorcycle from the perpective of the the handlebars or whatever. Since some larvae indicate that the motorcycle was used by a prison escapee, they track him down but end up letting him go since he's not a psycho-sexual sadist nor does he dress up like woodland creatures, sleep with blood relatives, attend a college rave and date rape a co-ed. (Am I wrong?)
