And the new fall season began for me last night with the premiere of Prison Break! PB is my guilty pleasure, which gets as much dogging from me as praise, mostly because of my dislike of Michael/Sara, the nonsensical twists and Wentworth's acting talent (or lack thereof). But this year, I'm feeling much better about the show because so far it is COMPLETE AND UTTER CRACK. Please keep this up, PB PTB!
First, Michael is back in prison, this time in Panama. And this time, Linc is the one who's trying to get him out. Good luck with that, Linc. We also had a random woman yelling for them to release bodies from the prison, which is pretty much run by the inmates because they're the worst of the worst and ran the guards to the outer perimeter where they'll just shoot you dead for getting too close to them. I'm really hoping Sara doesn't come back, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. We also have other stuff going on, like Linc's son and Sara taken hostage, to be let go in return for Michael breaking some dude out of the prison. Don't particularly care about that bit, but it might be more interesting once things start to come together and we get an actual plan and alliances are formed to execute it.
But the real highlight of new season is the fact that four of my favorite characters are (again nonsensically) stuck in the same prison. And it even more amusing that two of the four weren't even prisoners to begin with! Ah, how things flip on this cracky show.
Michael and Mahone have a few lover's spats (without trying to kill each other, which is definitely a step in the right direction), Michael keeps saying, "Alex," in that gravely way of his, and then Mahone kills the man who tried to stab Michael in the back. If that's not true love, I don't know what is.
Bellick is in nothing but underwear and a plastic poncho and eating human (tastes of chicken).
When T-Bag walked into the prison, both Michael and Mahone's expressions were that of, "WHUT?!" Of all the prisons in all the Central American countries... Then T-Bag does what he does best, worming his way into the good graces of the "inmate in charge." This is why you're a hoot to watch, T-Bag.
But wait, how did a woman get into the compound? If she can apparently get in and out, why can't her boyfriend/inmate-in-charge (don't remember his name yet)? Unless he has a reason to stay, for nefarious purposes.
After the Emmys, Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell did the press circuit together. They showed them talking to the KTLA Morning Show's (LA's CW station) entertainment reporter, Sam Rubin, who asked them who had the bigger year. Steve said that Stephen did. Stephen said even though he has his own ice cream, his kids don't like it. They had said to him, "It tastes burnt, can we have the chocolate?"
Then Rubin asked Stephen what he thought of Steve. Steve's face pretty much said, "Oh lord, what is he going to say?" Stephen said, "I never realized what a really handsome man you were, Steve. Just look at those pores. Your skin is so beautiful. It's like the night sky...in reverse. A field of white and a lot of little black specks."

While I love this actor, I'm not quite sold on his having the proper odiousness of
Horace Slughorn in the next Harry Potter film.
