Old School Tivo

I have written countless times about my desire to get Tivo or DVR. While I still do not have either, I was able to see the season finale of Prison Break even though I was at a Passover Seder. How? I hooked up the VCR, found a VHS tape and recorded the show. Maybe this is not as efficient as Tivo or DVR, but it the VCR proved its effectiveness.

PRISON BREAK SPOILER! (Although if you’re a fan of the show, you have probably watched Monday night’s episode by now). Fantastic episode! About two months ago, I figured the show went as far as it could and thought it should be wrapped up at the end of this season. (Plus, things were becoming truly ridiculous.) Even over the past few weeks, I thought the show was moving in that direction. However, Monday night’s episode leaves enough things open that I am excited about a Season Three. They just may need to change the name to Panamanian Prison Break. I do have one minor critique. According to the 2005 population estimate, there are 1,299,000 people living in Panama City, Panama. It amazes me how ten people seem to have found each other so easily in such a big city. I do have a few thoughts. I think we'll see both Kellerman and Kim again (just flesh wounds) and C-Note will probably be back at some point next season.

Kellerman and Kim are DEAD.

While I'll concede that Kellerman is dead, I think Kim is still alive. Sara is supposed to be the nice person on the show, so she can't kill anyone even if it was for love. If you noticed, she was shaking and saying that she shot a man (Kim), not killed him.

Ok, I see your point. We know that Kellerman can't come back since he was executed after blowing the cover on the whole conspiracy. Even though I loved that character. I don't really care if Kim comes back, actually -- I don't think the bothered developing his character at all, but if Mahone and Bellick are in prison, I guess they need another Big Bad on the outside.

I'm looking forward to more C-Note and Sucre next season.

I'm not a big fan of Kim either but I think he makes it since most characters seem to survive at least once (Mahone, Abruzzi, T-Bag).
