TV is Back!

With last night's season premiere of 'Prison Break' I am happy to report the Fall TV Season is underway! Granted, it's on early on Fox because Fox has baseball to contend with later in the fall. But at least we don't have to wait until late September to get into some of our favorite shows. I think 'Bones' is on next week! Whee!

That said, PB had a few holes - how the transition between the end of last season and the start of this season was actually handled is a big one. Last season the cons were steps from being captured, this season they're way ahead of their pursuers. Huh??? And (spoiler!) they decided to kill off Veronica? This show could use some tougher women on the right side of the law, actually, even though they didn't give her a great chance from the beginning. So we'll see what happens next week. I feel bad for Sucre; he's about to get shafted, and he's beginning to suspect it, but he's been so loyal to Scofield this whole time I feel bad he'll be on his own soon enough. Or will he? I expect the cons will be together for a while longer yet.

The bonus is the cons are now out of their prison grays and both Scofield and Lincoln are suited up, which, at least for this gal, is MUCH more appealing to view. Meow!

And PB did one thing right - seeing that 'Invasion' wouldn't be renewed they snapped up William Fichtner (apparently called 'Bill' on this show - potaytoe, potahtoe) as the person who is actually as smart as Scofield, unlike the belligerent Bellick. The Bellick/Fichtner scrum should be interesting to watch, since one is brains and one is testosterone, which equals out the Scofield/Lincoln dynamic.

Yes, I think too much about TV. There's a creative angle to it, I guess. That's my excuse anyway.
