Prison Break: Rate of Exchange / Killing Your Number (series finale)

(S04E21/S04E22) "I don't want to run anymore." - Michael
I'm happy that Prison Break is over. I've been a fan since the beginning, and even though it tested your threshold for absurd and ridiculous TV moments on more than one occasion, Prison Break was still one helluva ride. While part of me wishes that it had gone out on a creative high after maybe a season or two, I still appreciate what Paul Scheuring, Matt Olmstead, and Co. tried to do in season three and on some level, I even respect what went down here in the final season - arguably the drama's worst. That being said, tonight's two-hour finale offered some solid closure while wrapping up most everyone's story in ways that actually felt believable.
Prison Break: Cowboys and Indians

(S04E20) "What kind of loser gets set up for two high profile assassinations within five years?" - Lincoln
That's a question I've been asking myself for some time now, except that my query was a bit more broad - what kind of loser gets messed up in this many conspiracies period? Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield (Quick sidebar: different last names. Obviously they weren't brothers.) haven't exactly had it easy, but it's finally starting to look like there might be a light at the end of the tunnel ... at least for Michael anyway.
Prison Break: S.O.B.

(S04E19) "Maybe I can meet my grandson one day." - Cristina
With only three original hours left in Prison Break's run (not counting the two hour telepic that may or may not air), it's about time we got some solid answers. Despite her plea saying otherwise, I feel pretty confident now in believing that Cristina ain't one of the good guys. While General Krantz isn't much better, he's starting to look like a saint compared to Michael and Lincoln's mother.
Prison Break: Vs.

(S04E18) "I warned you not to come Michael." - Lincoln
Eighteen episodes into Prison Break's final season and we finally got some solid explanation as to what exactly The Company has been up to all this time. Answers are a good thing - except when they create more questions. After learning about Scylla's true contents (at least some of it anyway), I'm more confused than ever.
Prison Break: The Mother Lode

(S04E17) "She used to bake cookies when we came home from school." - Michael
For some reason all I could about during this episode was Cartman whining, "But Mooooommmm." Life sucks when your mother tries to kill you, huh? Prison Break's return saw a lot of action, but like most episodes, a lot of it was filler. It's still unclear as to what the precise end game for Scylla is going to be, but one thing is certain - the addition of Kathleen Quinlan as Lincoln and Michael's mother Christine has added a new layer of tension to the show that had been sorely lacking for the first leg of the final season.
Prison Break: Eagles and Angels

(S04E04) "I was thinking about maybe getting me a career in pictures." - T-Bag
Here we go - get ready for it. The hunt for the remaining Scylla cards continues! Boooooring. I don't feel like there's any challenge to obtaining these cards at this point when Roland's device makes it so simple. Stand next to someone holding the card for two minutes and you're done. Don Self could do this...himself. He doesn't need Scofield and Burrows. As was the case last week, the Scylla plot paled in comparison to what T-Bag is up to. It's the only solid mystery Prison Break has right now.
Prison Break: Shut Down

(S04E03) "Not every geek with a Commodore 64 can hack into NASA." - Roland
I think we're already starting to see how much of this season of Prison Break is going to play out. A constant struggle for Scofield and his team to deliver while pressure from Don and his Homeland Security buddies continues to weigh them down. I doubt very much that this is the last time the threat of being shut down will be used. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a mention of it every week - we are talking about their freedom after all. With that in mind, get ready to hear something that I imagine I'll probably be typing a lot as I review this season: the hunt for the remaining Scylla cards continues!
What to expect in season four of Prison Break
If you've watched FOX over the summer or read the upcoming season and episodes' official descriptions, you surely know of the big bombshell that will be revealed in the season premiere of Prison Break. It's clear that FOX wants its audience to know of that reveal before hand in order to lure some viewers back to the show and create a buzz around the show.If you don't know what I'm talking about and don't want to know about it, don't read beyond the spoilers warning. I suggest you also stop watching FOX until September 1 at 8 p.m. and that you stay clear from anything Prison Break related. Because, as I've said before, it's clear the network wants you to know and they are not hiding that reveal at all.
Beware: spoilers ahead!
Michael Rapaport joins Prison Break cast
Michael Rapaport is heading back to Fox. The former star of The War At Home has been cast as a regular on Prison Break. Rapaport will play a government agent on the drama's fourth season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the character has "an interesting offer" for Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows. Rapaport just finished a guest stint on My Name Is Earl playing, ironically, a prison inmate who helps Earl escape. Season four of Prison Break premieres in September, with production starting in L.A. this month.
My Name is Earl: Frank's Girl
(S03E06) I was wondering when they would get around to conjugal visits. Quite frankly, when i found out Alyssa Milano was going to be on the show, conjugal visits were all I could think about.
This storyline is exactly what I was talking about in my last review. Earl doesn't need a list to do good things. He will always be karma's bitch. List or no list, he has to help people with their problems and now that he's locked up, he can spend more time helping his friends and family. Besides for all you list lovers, he now has a new one, so quit complaining.

The War At Home coming to DVD
This may sound like a stupid question, but who wants to buy The War At Home on DVD?
I'm not jumping on the "this shows sucks" and "why is this show still on the air when Arrested Development was canceled!" bandwagon, I'm talking about this: who could sit around and watch episodes of this show more than once? I guess I'm talking about a bigger DVD question here.
There are many shows that I have liked throughout the years, but I just can't picture myself actually buying the DVD sets and watching them in my home again. Examples: Survivor, Law and Order, JAG. The War At Home seems like such a show to me, one that's an OK way to kill a half hour on TV but not one you'd cherish and keep in your home forever on DVD. But maybe it's just me.
