How the hell are they gonna get out of this!? We have to wait until fall to find out? I’m really worried about the good doctor… is she…is she…she can’t be… 😮

They cut T-Bag’s hand off!! That was awesome. He’ll limp back around though, he’s too good to kill off.

And I do believe Sara is dead, poor little junkie. 😃

Michael is never going to get over it if his escape killed Doc Hotness…

Random thoughts…

I agree that T-Bag’s gonna make it. He overheard Westmoreland spill the location of the $5 million; so I’m sure he’ll make a play for that next season. He’s too deliciously eeeevil to get rid of.

Is Madame President more, or less, evil than President Logan on _24_?

I _hope_ Dr. Sara makes it. But I’m sadly pessimistic.

I’ve meant to say this all season - I find it highly amusing that Terrance Steadman is _Enterprise_’s Dr. Phlox.

I wonder if we’ll ever see Tweener again?

You have to take a whole lot of this with a grain of salt. However, the idea that Tweener got past the road block by riding in a horse trailer is beyond silly. Haywire was way too funny, though he’s got to get caught quick, no way a guy with those mental problems stays underground.

I loved the switcheroo with the Vice Pres. That’s why the Company wanted her around, right?

Was T-Bag carrying his severed hand with him while he was running? I thought I saw some extra fingers flapping.

Yeah Dr.Hot is dead (I heard one of the female regs was going to die I just figured it would be Lawyer Hot)

Yeah I’m a little pissed that it ended with them just running through a field pretty much surrounded. I assume first episode next season will actually have them getting caught and on their way back to the prison Michael and Linc’s dad saves them. But possibly not everyone.

That’s one thing I like about this show they aren’t afraid to kill anbody off!

I was blown away when they smoked Linc’s ex-wife and new husband. They’ve also killed-off “almost good-cop” CIA agent, and nice-ish lawyer guy.

DB Cooper bit it as well, it’s like watching “The Sopranos” on American Network TV (in Canada they show Sopranos on our Canadian networks, un-cut).

So let’s see… In one episode, we have a bodycount of [counts on fingers] 5, with three being main characters. Oh, and a dismemberment.  
We also have dead man coming back to life. (We, the audience, knew that, but now he’s a character.)  
We also have the escape party _actually_ escaped (gasp!) and now lighter by two members, with a further three members going solo for a variety of reasons.  
They didn’t tie up any loose ends and created many more.  
Damn these people.

Where is Linc’s son? We haven’t seen him in a while… is he in Juvenile Detention or something? (Did I miss it?)

I haven’t been watching this show regularly. What did the guy do to make them chop off his hand? That was pretty hard core for prime time TV.

They’ll probably bring the ‘dead’ doctor back out of sheer fan demand – viewers cannot live on fanfic alone. If Abruzzi can return…  
Linc’s son is… uh… in hiding until he gets a bit cuter and they find him a good storyline.

He (T-bag) handcuffed himself to Michael, then swallowed the key. Not the smartest thing, but Abruzzi was about to kill him.

LJ is in big people jail, awaiting trial on two counts of murder (his mother and step-father, actually killed by the evil Secret Service guy) and charges for his shooting of said ESSG. Of course he has exculpatory evidence for the murder charges (the cell phone picture) but being in jail while his lawyer is off in Fumblebuck Montana he may not have access to it.

this was a bit too 24-ish… set up road blocks and think of every contingency EXCEPT FOR the airport 10 miles away… show a hand-less guy alive after having his hand chopped off; he would be dead in a minute from blood loss, and even if he survived, running would raise his heart beat and kill him… have 5 guys running and all the police cars stop, as if there were some magical force field between them and the grass…

It’s not called “24-ish” it’s called “fiction.”  
Prison escapees don’t generally have a plane waiting at the nearby airport. If one of the escapees was known to be a pilot, the search plan would be different in that respect.  
In an interview (TV Guide?), Wentworth Miller stated matter-of-factly that the show is a total comic book, it only looks and is acted “realistically.” Don’t forget Michael had his toe cut off only weeks before.
