(S02E18) Someone commented last week about my Prison Break review, saying it was possibly the shortest review ever on TV Squad. Well, it certainly wasn't the shortest, but I have to wonder what more could have been said?

Seriously, I sometimes ask myself why I tune in every Monday to watch this show. It's just that I feel as though I've invested so much time into this show as it is, and I'm just waiting for the payoff. But will there be a payoff? And when will the end be?

Let's discuss the good and bad points of this episode...

(S02E17) Damn, that felt good. Seriously, the best part of the season was in the second half of this episode, when Bill Kim got a beat down by the front end of an SUV and then Lincoln's fist a few times. It's almost too bad he didn't get a few slugs in the process, but we already knew that wouldn't happen ... yet.

This was actually one of the better episodes of the season, though not without its own set of problems.

(S02E14) First thing's first, you have to love the title of this episode -- anyone who knows Dominic Purcell's past might get a chuckle out of that.

It's hard to get entirely excited about this show these days, when so many other shows I love come crashing out of the gates with season premiere-like episodes to kick off the second half of their seasons. This episode wasn't what I'd call super-stellar, though it had its moments.

Two Missouri brothers are suing FOX and Prison Break creator Paul Sheuring, saying they stole the idea for the hit show.

Robert Hughes was sent to prison in the 1960s for a crime he didn't commit, and older brother Donald helped him escape. On the surface this may not seem like much, but add on to the fact that they had their agent send FOX a script in 2001 about their experiences. The network wasn't interested, but then Prison Break debuted in 2005.

Robert Hughes makes an interesting point that, if they were to try and sell their story now, it would look like they were copying the show.

Whatever the outcome, their story actually sounds really interesting. They were on the run for four years, working various jobs around the country and staying one step ahead of the police.
