For all the veggie heads in socal!!!


Hey guys!!! Today I was seeking for new places to go have some really great vegetarian food but i remembered an old favorite. I dont eat out too much because well... I like to cook. LOL!! Anyway I remembered a market that my co worker recommended to me a few years back (him being a vegetarian as well)
The market is called "Follow Your Heart" and it's located in Canoga Park here in Los Angeles. My twin and I decided to go a few years back and absolutely loved it!! it's heaven for vegetarians and vegans everywhere!! The market features a cafe/restaurant with delicious vegan/vegetarian dishes made from organic ingredients found in their market.I didnt take pictures of my food, well actually i think i did but not they are lost. LOL anyway i ordered the enchiladas and I forgot what my sister ordered. You get the true flavor of the corn from their organic tortillas. The flavor of the ingredients is just so wonderful, rich, and completely fresh.
I was planning on returning today but i was waiting on some mail that i should have gotten today but didnt.
If you live out here in L.A. or plan to visit, definitely check this place out. It's my vegetarian/vegan pick of the week!! I think you'll love it regardless if you eat meat or not.

Rate of Exchange/Killing Your Number Full Episode

Rate of Exchange/Killing Your Number Recaps

During my sick days, I guess I forgot to post these. I know they don't matter now, as a lot of people have now seen The Final Break, but I like to be thorough! Besides, how do I know someone doesn't want to see this? Warning: this is a long post since it contains two full recaps!

EPISODE 421 "Rate of Exchange"
Airdate: 2009-05-15


Michael insists to Mahone that he's going to find a way to save both Lincoln and Sara. Mahone persuades him to go after Linc first. Meanwhile, Christina contemptuously calls Linc "the dumb one" and is sickened that Michael cares for him so much. Michael calls and says he'll give her Scylla; just meet him at a shipping yard in 45 minutes. Elsewhere, General Krantz tells Sara that if she'd just left the infirmary door locked back at Fox River, her father and so many others would still be alive, and now none of it will have been worth it. Michael's sure to return Scylla because his heart always betrays his better judgment. Sara parries that that's true - because if Michael had used his better judgment, he's have killed Krantz the night he stole Scylla. Krantz, enraged, leaves her with T-Bag... who, leering, turns out his pocket and makes Sara fondle it.



At the shipping yard, as Michael prepares a box of homemade explosives, Mahone tries to persuade him to simply give Scylla to Christina in order to save everyone - including Pam, LJ and Sofia. Michael won't countenance any deals. Christina arrives; Linc's in the Range Rover with Downey, cuffed. She demands Scylla and walks towards Michael... but stops short of the tripwire he's set up. Michael tries to goad her into coming closer, she instead she orders her henchman to kill Michael. The henchman trips the wire and is blown to pieces. Christina gets away and holes up in an abandoned office. She tells Linc he won't live long enough to be an uncle. Linc is thrown by this, and Christina realizes that Sara still hasn't told anybody that she's pregnant.

Downey tells Chrisina that Prime Minister Banerjee is calling, wanting to know why he hasn't gotten the Scylla technology yet. Christina tells Linc that Michael's got ten minutes. Meanwhile, Krantz calls Michael. Michael says that every Fed and cop in town is looking for him, and it's impeding his return; if he's caught, Scylla will be locked away as evidence. Krantz gives him an hour, or he'll turn T-Bag loose on Sara. T-Bag gloats to Sara that when this is over, Krantz will employ him. Sara tells him there's no way that'll happen; Krantz will have him killed along with the rest of them... but if he helps her escape and get back to Michael, the slate will be wiped clean. T-Bag says that that slate will never be clean... as if he doesn't come back soon, it'll get a lot dirtier. Michael calls Christina, demanding to talk to Linc. Linc tells him that Sara's pregnant and exhorts him to go after Sara; Linc's willing to die knowing that he did something to pay Michael back. Christina grabs the phone away and hangs it up.

Self wakes up in the hospital, where a pair of FBI agents question him as to Michael and Linc's whereabouts, and begin to torture him when he won't talk; since he's impeding an investigation into an act of terrorism, he has no legal protection. Self finally says he doesn't know where they are, but he can find out. He demands immunity.

In Chicago, Sucre, still spooked by every police car he sees, is tailed by somebody. He is chased into an alleyway, turns to fight, and realizes who his pursuer is... it's C-Note. The two talk in a diner. They're both home and happy with their children. C-Note claims that he was looking for Sucre because the case against Mahone fell apart, so the Feds reneged on his deal and were gonna send him back to Fox River. He needs to know how to get a hold of Michael and Linc. Sucre is suspicious of his motives and nearly leaves, but C-Note insists that he's trying to help. The brothers are in trouble, and will only get out of it if Sucre helps him find them. Sucre doesn't want to risk losing his family again, but C-Note says that with the menial jobs he has to work because he's afraid of being arrested, he's not going to be able to support his family for very long. C-Note's sure the guy who contacted him is a player. He wants to get some device into the right hands by finding Michael and Linc, and then he'll get their records clean. He takes Sucre to meet the man. We don't see his face, but we do see his hands... and he's wearing a ring, a familiar ring with an eagle on it.

As Michael checks the Scylla briefcase, Mahone asks him how they can save Pam as well, but Michael doesn't have a plan. He tells Mahone that if there's anything he needs to do to save Pam, he should just do it. Elsewhere, Christina cruelly taunts Linc, telling him he's stupid and she never cared for him because he's not really her son. She's further enraged when Banerjee leaves the country, no longer trusting that Christina will deliver Scylla. Linc's just cost her three quarters of a billion dollars. She's about to shoot Linc when Mahone calls, offering her Scylla in return for protection for his family, and Linc's release as well. He owes Linc. Meanwhile, Michael calls Krantz, who wants to make the exchange at a parking lot in twenty minutes; Scylla for Sara. As Michael hangs up, we see Mahone put down a newly-purchased duplicate of the Scylla briefcase; Michael doesn't seem to have noticed the switch, and takes the empty case. Krantz leaves with Ralph; he's planning on killing Michael. He leaves Sara behind for T-Bag to do as he pleases.

Mahone meets with Christina. He wants her to make the call to have her people protect Pam before he hands over Scylla, but she insists he hand it over first. Downey tells Pam that a mole in the FBI has reported that two agents are talking to Self, who is getting immunity. Christina thinks he's a threat. Meanwhile, Self calls Michael, but Michael won't talk, and simply says that the whole thing will be over soon before hanging up. The FBI agents are asked by a doctor to leave the room... but it's not a doctor. It's Downey, who drugs Self via his IV and holds him down as he begins to twitch.

Michael leaves the Scylla briefcase at the parking lot. Krantz and Ralph arrive and find that the briefcase is empty. Michael seems to be hiding, and he uncoils a rope. Back at the loft, T-Bag prepares to rape Sara. Sara realizes that one of the bars she's cuffed to is loose, and to buy time, begins taunting T-Bag, telling him that his medical records at Fox River indicate that he's impotent. Just as an enraged T-Bag is finally about to attack, she gets a bar free and swings it at him, but T-Bag quickly overpowers her. Just as he begins to unzip his pants, he's smashed over the head by Michael, who we find wasn't at the parking lot when Krantz got there; he was scaling the loft to enter through he window. Michael's about to smash T-Bag's skull in with the bar, but Sara's terrified cries bring him back to his senses. The two embrace.

Christina takes Scylla from the briefcase Mahone gave her. Mahone again asks her to make the call to protect Pam, but she says she needs to make sure it works first and locks him in the side room with Linc. He tells Linc that he's there to save him. Meanwhile, we see that Michael also seems to have Scylla. In flashback, we again see Michael tell Mahone that if there's anything he needs to do to save Pam, he should just do it. And then we see what happened directly afterwards: Michael finally came up with a plan. Christina prides herself on being able to read Michael's every move... but she won't be able to predict Mahone's actions. He removes Scylla's guts and replaces them with explosives. Michael's still got Scylla's interior. He knew Krantz would never honor the arrangement. Both Scyllas, the ones given to Krantz and to Christina, are actually bombs. Back in the present moment, as Sara and Michael plan to start their lives anew, Mahone drags a weak and groggy Linc to the far side of the side room and asks if he's ready to get out of there. In the next room, Downey finds he isn't getting a connection to Scylla. Christina realizes that Michael has tricked her. And we see the red blinking light of the bomb inside the Scylla case.

EPISODE 422 "Killing Your Number"
Airdate: 2009-05-15
MUSIC: Lay It Down Slow" - Spiritualized


Michael and Sara talk about the ordinary life they're going to lead when this is all over. Mahone calls and says that the bomb meant to take out Christina didn't go off. Michael tells him he'll have to trigger it manually. Christina enters and demands to know why they can't access Scylla. Mahone pretends ignorance. Christina orders Downey to kill him just as Mahone finds the manual switch on the bomb. The beeping of the bomb distracts Downey just long enough for Mahone to overpower him and escape with Linc. Moments later, there is a tremendous blast that knocks Downey and Christina down. Outside, Michael's just arrived with Sara. Sara wants to get Linc to a hospital, but Linc says that'd mean jail. Michael regards a big hole in the building where Christina was, but we see inside that Downey's body shielded Christina from the blast. Her finger begins to twitch.

At the loft, Krantz is about to kill T-Bag for his many failures when a phone rings. It's Sara's; she accidentally left it behind. T-Bag is allowed to answer the phone and finds Sucre on the other end. Sucre asks where Michael and Lincoln are; T-Bag says their mother has them. He's got an idea of where, but he's scared to talk on the phone. They arrange a meeting in the park in an hour. Krantz reluctantly sends T-Bag out with an operative. T-Bag meets with Sucre and points out the operative to him, telling him he's walked into a trap. Sucre, smirking, demands Sara's phone. T-Bag looks up again and sees that the operative is dead. A moment later, C-Note shows himself. They take T-Bag hostage. C-Note reports back to his mysterious employer that he's got Sara's phone; there are a lot of calls to one number. It must be Michael.

Michael decides the best thing to do is destroy Scylla; Krantz will have them killed no matter what they do. Suddenly, Michael's phone rings, and on the other end... is Kellerman. Not dead after all, he was freed by a group trying to bring down the Company, the group founded by Michael's father. He tells Michael to get Scylla to a U.N. attach? at 5pm at the footbridge in Declan Plaza. Michael tells him to stop Krantz from pursuing their families. Kellerman agrees, and says when Scylla is delivered, all their slates will be wiped clean. Michael doesn't know whether to believe him. Kellerman says that Scylla can change the world for the better; he doesn't need to trust Kellerman, he just needs to trust the U.N. Sara says that Linc's out of time; she needs a needle, syringe and chest tube right now. At the loft, Krantz and Ralph realize T-Bag is either captured or dead. They get a ping off of Linc's cell phone; Ralph and another operative head to the location. Elsewhere, Sucre and C-Note interrogate T-Bag. They want Krantz's location. T-Bag won't talk. They string T-Bag upside-down and tell him his eyeballs will burst. He's still not talking, still clinging to the idea of becoming a respected "gentleman" in the Company's employ, but the treatment is getting to him.

At the hospital, the FBI agents interrogating Self check his files and see that Mahone's involved. Self's nearly comatose and his brain is quickly wasting away, but he can move his hand and write... but the only message he'll write is "F.U." Meanwhile, Sara arrives at the hospital with Mahone in tow. She grabs a doctor's lab coat and slips into a supply closet. When a nurse is about to go in, Mahone distracts her by asking questions... and attracts the attention of the one of the FBI agents. In the car, Linc tells Michael if he has to leave him, he should. Michael says not a chance, they're brothers. Linc says that's not what Christina said. Michael says she was just messing with their minds... and even if it's true, it doesn't change anything. Sara emerges from the supply closet to find Mahone being arrested. He nods to her to leave and she hightails it back to the car. Sara gives Linc an injection that will only last for a while. Michael says they have to leave Mahone, but once they deliver Scylla to Kellerman, it'll buy Mahone his immunity. Suddenly, the passenger window explodes and shatters, shot by a Company operative. At the driver-side window is Ralph, who takes them all back to Krantz. Michael claims not to have Scylla. Krantz turns on a TV which shows a live feed of Sofia being held at gunpoint and demands Scylla again. Meanwhile, Mahone is interrogated. He insists that he and the others have been set up, but the FBI aren't listening. They just want the location of Michael and Linc. At the loft, the stalemate is broken by the arrival of Sucre and C-Note; T-Bag must have finally talked. They shoot Ralph and hold Krantz at gunpoint before he even knows what's happening. Michael orders Krantz to have Sofia released, and he does so. Michael's about to kill Krantz. Linc eggs him on, but Sara and Sucre talk him out of it. Krantz is cuffed to the banister and left behind. Michael asks C-Note why he trusts Kellerman; C-Note admits that Kellerman's the only option they've got. As they bundle into the car, police sirens wail. They're nearly trapped, until Sucre uses his own car to cut the police off. He is arrested as Michael, Sara, Linc and C-Note get away.

Christina and her men track Michael down via his cell phone. She shoots C-Note in the legs and nearly walks off with Scylla, but pulls a gun on her. He hesitates to pull the trigger for a moment, but Christina goads him and he fires... but the gun just clicks. Jammed. Christina prepares to shoot him, telling him he was born a Scofield but will die a Burrows. Suddenly, two shots ring out; Sara has shot Christina dead at the moment she fired at Michael. Her shot went wild and struck Michael in the shoulder. Sara takes Linc and C-Note to the hospital while Michael delivers Scylla to Kellerman. As Sucre stays as tight-lipped under FBI interrogation as Mahone was, Michael goes to the rendezvous point... where he is taken hostage at gunpoint. However, it transpires that these are Kellerman's men. He just wanted to make sure Michael wasn't followed. In an office building, Kellerman tries to boot up Scylla for Solomon Okella, the man from the U.N., but it doesn't work. Michael's withholding a piece. He wants proof that the Okella's legitimate. Okella's ready to walk away. Tired and beaten, Michael says he doesn't want to run anymore. He gives up the missing piece, and Scylla boots up. Okella's satisfied. So's Kellerman, who says it's over - Michael did it.

Krantz finally frees himself from the handcuffs, only to be arrested by a team of cops who have just arrived. Not long after, Michael, a healthy Linc who's gotten the treatment he needs, Mahone, Sucre, Sara and C-Note are seated around a table with Kellerman, who presents them all with statements to sign. They all sign and are free at last, and Kellerman confirms that all their loved onces are safe as well, but there's one final piece of business to take care of. T-Bag wants exoneration for his help. Kellerman leaves it up to them. Michael and Linc approach T-Bag, who is being held in the hallway. He begs for mercy and forgiveness. Linc says they took a vote and he's in luck... T-Bag gets a stick of gum for the ride back to prison.

Later, a jubilant Michael and Sara walk along the beach. Michael says he's going to be a hands-on dad. They're both happy. Suddenly, Sara stops short. Michael has a nosebleed. They both pale, knowing what this could mean. Michael insists he's fine. They hold each other tightly.

Four years later. Mahone mails a birthday card to Pam, then kisses and walks off hand in hand with Felicia Lang. In Chicago, a happy Sucre is playing with his little girl and tells her he'll be back in two days, while C-Note, working for UPS, luxuriates in his freedom and normal life. In Central America, Linc and Sofia live happily together. LJ's in school. They hug goodbye and Sofia tells him to get home safe. In a convalescent home in Chicago, a brain-dead Don Self stares out the window and drools. On death row, General Krantz is led to the electric chair. In Washington, Kellerman is now a crusading Congressman, well-loved by the press... but not by Danny Hale's widow, who arrives to spit in his face in front of the press photographers. And in Fox River, T-Bag hears an inmate talk about "the captivity of negativity." He's reading a book about GATE. Saddened at the reminder of the white-collar life he nearly had, he tells the inmate firmly that he never wants to see that book again. The inmates fear him; he's a leader among prisoners once again... and a young boy in his entourage is holding his pocket. And at a street fair in Central America, we see that Sara has a small, pendant-shaped scar on her shoulder in the shape of a snake. She calls to Michael that it's time to go... but the Michael she's speaking to is a child. Her child, Michael Jr. She says it's time to go see Daddy. They arrive at a cemetery, where they meet up with Linc, Sucre and Mahone. Michael Jr. puts flowers on a headstone... while Linc leaves an origami crane. Everyone pays their respects. As they leave, we see the inscription on the headstone:


Michael J. Scofield
September 8, 1974 - November 4, 2005
Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Friend
"Be the change you want to see in the world."

More Videos from The Final Break

I contemplated posting these b/c a lot of us have not seen the movie yet. While we still have more than a month to wait, I guess these YouTube (savevbane)videos are just like the regular sneak peeks I posted before so I figure why not. So with that said, there are some spoiler scenes in these three. Enjoy!






You have to watch the last one on YouTube, so click here!

Michael & Sara's wedding photos

I'm in tears! These are actually from a video I found on YouTube (lizardpbreak). I didn't bother posting the video b/c it features the same song from the video I posted earlier. Enjoy the pics!

Gretchen & Sara: Girl Fight!

I found these two vids on Youtube (NeoTheXerox) & I think they are awesome! I'm guessing they are from "The Final Break". Enjoy!



The Final Break Promo Pics

Michael & Sara are absolutely adorable in these pics! Almost makes me happy lol! She's really pretty, though (love the dress), and he's GORGEOUS!!!

Sorry about the watermarks but it seems as though people have been posting others' pics w/out giving proper credit or at least saying where they got 'em (fake sources, etc. - that's too bad). As always, I got the pics from SpoilerTV but apparently they originated from PBElite. Great job to both sites! Thanks for posting stuff we can share with the world!

TVGuide Mega Minute: Sara

Scoops from The Man

Disclaimer: Spoilers contained herein! DO NOT click that button if you don't want to know! You have been duly warned, in a nice way, of course!

Here's the latest Prison Break spoilers from The Man ツ

Read More!
Question posed as to how Sara ends up on prison in the final two eps:
The Man: well that all depends. since at the beginning of season 4, sara was there because she wanted to be, she was always free to go. since she wasn't on the run, kellerman wouldn't have had paperwork for her. her shooting christina is probably something no one would find out about...........unless there just happens to be a video of her doing it.....hmm

at the time kellerman offered them immunity sara didn't think she needed it. perhaps by the time she is sent to prison, the offer is no longer there or they are unable to provide it to her anymore since there "supposedly" is a video of her shooting christina.

Question: Can you give us some details The Man? It's pretty interesting for me as I'm disappointed with season 4.
The Man: i'm not actually sure what direction the show would have taken if there had been no writers strike. I am pretty sure that Sara would not have come back though. I think Michael still would have died, since the ultimate ending of the show was decided a long time ago and they always planned to stick with their original ending idea.

Without the strike we may have seen the introduction of different characters and the way the show reached its ending may have been different.

Beyond that, I don't know anything specific.

Another Matt Olmstead Interview

I know. Since Prison Break concluded its four-year run tonight by sending its chiseled protagonist to the big slammer in the sky, you're grieving. You want answers. You want justice. You want someone to pay.

Would you settle for answers?

'Cause that's all I've got. But at least there are a lot of 'em, straight from executive producer Matt Olmstead. Read 'em and... oh, I see. You're already weeping. Well, read 'em, anyway. Maybe it'll help.

Why'd you have to kill him?!
MATT OLMSTEAD: It started as a discussion with Wentwoth [Miller] around Season 2. He brought up a good point: His character's hands are as dirty as anyone's. If you look at the initial act that he committed -- robbing a bank to get into prison to break his brother out -- there were ramifications to that; a lot of people got hurt. Not by them, but when they rattled the cage of the company that was after them, the body count started to pile out. And Michael was aware of this. And we've addressed his guilt throughout the show. But at a certain point, it felt nobler to have the character die so that others could live. It just felt a little weird for us to have Michael and Sara holding hands on the beach walking away -- though that would be gratifying in the moment. Knowing that there was pretty much a scorched path behind them in terms of what happened, [having him die] balanced the books for us. He also paid the ultimate sacrifice and, in doing so, everyone else close to him wa! s able to live, including his child.


Michael-Sara fans will argue that they deserved a happy ending after watching these two go to hell and back for four seasons. What would you say to them?
OLMSTEAD: For me, it is a happy ending. Look at the very first episode of the season when Michael realizes Sara's alive. They have a chance to run away, and they both elect not to because, as two people of conscience, they can't live with what they both now have experienced. And at the end of the finale, when they're on the beach and talking about the baby that's coming, that's a huge victory in that they both stood their ground and, with the help of other people, brought down the ultimate antagonist. So they have their moment.

Can we assume that we'll learn more about the ultimate sacrifice Michael made in the two-hour direct-to-DVD prequel movie [due July 28]?
OLMSTEAD: Yes, it dramatizes what happened to Michael. The nose bleed that reared its ugly head at the end of [tonight's finale] was a factor in his ultimate demise in that he knew that he probably didn't have that long to live, but it wasn't the sole factor. It informed certain decisions that lead to his demise.

The two-hour movie picks up right after the finale, right?
OLMSTEAD: Yeah, it takes place fairly soon after they're exonerated.

What's the premise?
OLMSTEAD: Sara is on the hook for [killing] Michael's mother and she gets locked up while pregnant. The tables are turned once a doctor in prison now imprisoned, and Michael's on the outside. The majority of the cast is back. It's Michael, Lincoln, Sara, Sucre, T-Bag, Mahone... all the heavy-hitters.

Seeing Paul Adelstein back as Kellerman was a nice surprise. How'd that come about?
OLMSTEAD: We reached out to Paul and pitched him the idea of what his character would be doing, and he liked it very much. And then I told him that we would be jumping ahead four years to show where all the characters are, and I asked him where he would want [Kellerman] to be; he was included in the [creative process]. We traded a lot of e-mails and the ideas ran the gamut. We ultimately arrived at what it was, which is he rose to a position of power, but that the widow of his [former] partner that he killed revisits him. In the scene I wrote, she spits on his shoes. [On the day of shooting], I got a call from the director, Kevin Hooks, and he said, "Paul's here, and he [thinks] she would spit in his face." And I said, "Have at it." So she spit in his face. And then he's in the limo afterward and you can see that private moment where [he realizes] he can never outrun his past. That's one of my favorite sequences in the flash-forward. He played the self-loathing and regret beautifully.

Did you encounter any problems getting ABC to loan him to you since he's now on Private Practice?
OLMSTEAD: Everybody was very accommodating, and I think it all stems from a universal goodwill towards Paul as a person. He's a really good guy and people wanted to do him a favor. And we were able to get all his scenes done in one day.

Was there anyone you wanted to get back for the finale and couldn't?
OLMSTEAD: The only person we couldn't get was Marshall Allman, who played Lincoln's son. We would have loved to have gotten him.

Looking back on the four seasons, anything you would have done differently?
OLMSTEAD: I don't have a whole lot of regrets. [Another journalist] wrote that we left it all out on the field by the end of the series, and I feel the same way. Every story was exhausted. Every creative juice wrung out. It was a completely worthwhile experience, and I know the other writers [agree]. It was a difficult show to pull off, and we did it.

Matt Holmstead's TVGuide Interview

Fox's Prison Break wrapped up its four-year run (and run, and run, and run...) on Friday night, as Michael finally decided into whose hands he could entrust Scylla. Along the way, a pair of familiar faces resurfaced, justice was meted out, and, in a four-year flash-forward, a variety of fates were revealed.

It was during that epilogue that the producers uncorked one final — and fatal — twist. If you have finished watching the two-hour series-ender, read on for executive producer Matt Olmstead's answers to the burning questions you likely have.

TVGuide.com: At what point during the four-year run did you decide that Michael would die in the end?
Matt Olmstead: At the beginning of this season, we had a debate about it. I was on NYPD Blue and I came on during Season 6, which was Jimmy Smits' last arc — and it was some of the best TV ever. They had the thought that when a character goes that's beloved, if you drop a safe on his head, the audience is going to hate you, because they haven't had a chance to mourn. So let's show up early that the character has a [health] problem. [NYPD Blue creator] David [Milch] did it brilliantly [with Smits' character dying of heart failure], and I always remembered that. So when we met with the writers after the [WGA] strike, we asked ourselves: Is Michael going to last? Either way, let's [give him] a nosebleed in Episode 1. That way we can kind of suggest that something's up, and it also gives us the opportunity to play some scenes — if we want to go down this road — where Sara can mourn it, Lincoln's aware of it, and the audience is aware of it. Then they too have a chance to mourn the loss.


TVGuide.com: What was Wentworth Miller's take on the matter?
Olmstead: He ultimately liked it. He had heard rumblings, and when that script went out, a complimentary email came back from him, because he saw the merits of it. The idea of Michael not making it stemmed from a conversation he and I had in Season 2. He said that at this point [Michael's] hands were as dirty as anyone's, and that was something we addressed along the way, this mounting guilt. "I broke my brother out of prison, the ramifications of which have included people getting killed" — neither he the actor nor the character were ignorant or dismissive of that. So the idea of a finale where [in the coda] he doesn't make it but everyone else does was the right ending for him as an actor. For Michael to have traipsed off into the sunset with Sara may have seemed a little like, "Hey, good for you guys."

TVGuide.com: But the network fought you on the death, right?
Olmstead: It was split over there; half the people wanted to see Sara and Michael together, and half saw the merit in Michael not making it. Once they saw the scripts, they agreed unilaterally that it was the right move to make.

TVGuide.com: It should be noted that Michael is alive in Prison Break: The Final Break (a two-hour standalone movie slated for a July 21 DVD release).
Olmstead: Right. The Final Break takes place shortly after everyone's exoneration, so we go back and see Michael alive.

TVGuide.com: That was a nice little wink you had there with Michael Jr. getting a fake tattoo.
Olmstead: Yeah, it was [writer/co-executive producer] Nick Santora who had that idea.

TVGuide.com: Let's talk about the returns. Did Paul Adelstein (now on Private Practice) foresee your phone call coming? I have always told him that Kellerman would one day resurface.
Olmstead: I've run into him occasionally, and I'd say, "One day you'll get a phone call." He was always enthusiastic about it. We didn't know obviously what the storyline was going to be, but we increasingly wanted to save it for the finale.

TVGuide.com: Rockmund Dunbar [who plays C-Note], I have to imagine, was a bit more surprised.
Olmstead: I think so. We knew that this was [the end], and who did we the writers want to see back? Who would make a nice impact in terms of the viewers? We didn't want to just bring him back in a service role; we wanted him to come back for a plot twist.

TVGuide.com: Did you consider bringing back Patricia Wettig's disgraced President Caroline Reynolds?
Olmstead: No, no.... That character is done.

TVGuide.com: And were none of the various Maricruz actresses available?
Olmstead: We thought about it, but all that we really see is probably her holding the child, or saying one line. It just wasn't worth our while — and I doubt the actresses would have been interested either.

TVGuide.com: Robert Knepper told TV Guide Network's Hollywood 411 that the fate you chose for T-Bag was the "greatest" of all the options.
Olmstead: I think it was very poetic. For us [the coda] was the right combination of people getting just desserts, sweet surprises and tragedy. People were saying that you couldn't have T-Bag still on the loose, that you couldn't do the Hannibal Lecter version of it, because that would put a black mark on Michael. That he unleashed this monster on the world. Nor could you kill T-Bag, because ironically he was too loved by the audience. So we put him back where he started, but with a heartache. He overhears this thing about GATE and it strikes a chord. It reminds him of what he almost had.

TVGuide.com: That was an interesting romantic twist you did there with Mahone.
Olmstead: That was one of the surprises. Here he is, sending a birthday card to his ex-wife, yet now he's with his former [FBI] colleague [Felicia Lang]. We provide more "what happened" information on that in The Final Break.

TVGuide.com: When last you and I spoke, you said that Michael's overnight tattoo removal was your least-proud moment. Looking back on the show's run, what are you most proud of?
Olmstead: The thing I am by far the most proud of is that the [writing] staff was pretty much the same through all four years. There were people who were there from the beginning to the very end — Zack Estrin, Nick Santora, Karyn Usher — and we had other writers who came up through writers' assistants and then got staffed — Seth Hoffman, Kalinda Vazquez, Christian Trokey.... It was a very tight group, and everything was done collectively, because it is such a serialized show. Every outline was tabled as a group, every script was tabled as a group, every cut was watched as a group.... We got to see people evolve and flourish and evolve, and as luxury to me, I had eight people who were all heavy hitters. At the beginning of this season, we were at a crossroads with the network and the studio — it was post-strike, an accelerated process — about what we were going to do. We had to really show them something, and everybody pitched in and we solved it.

TVGuide.com: Is there any ratings number you can hit with the series finale that will get The Final Break broadcast on Fox?
Olmstead: I really don't know. I don't even know if they've seen it, being busy preparing for the [May 18] upfronts. But we're really proud of it, and I hope you like it.

More promo photos from the series finale

The Final Break on Sky 1 last night!

As we all know, "The Final Break" will be out on DVD for us in July but the UK had the pleasure of seeing it last night! Zie did tell us that someone posted a recap & her thoughts but I don't wanna read it; I wanna be surprised! I already know what will happen & that's enough for me - the details have to be a surprise! By the way, these final two hours also aired in Israel on May 24!

Anyone see it last night or on the 24th? Share your thoughts!

Lay It Down Slow

This song by Spiritualized is not just an amazing song, but it set the pace for the final minutes of the Prison Break series finale. I think this song probably made me cry more than the events itself! If you listen to the lyrics while watching, it makes for a much more dramatic effect! I'm sure that was intention, as Matt Olmstead had this to say:

"We're not big on montage songs, but it was a song that, for me, tied into the whole thing about Michael's plight," Olmstead said. "Which is basically: Lay it on me, I'll take the weight so everybody else can flourish."


I found this video on YouTube (haloliu) & thought I'd post it! Oh, the lyrics follow as well!




If you got dreams in your heart,
Why don't you share them with me?
And if dreams don't come true,
I'll make sure that you're nightmares are through.

If you got pain in your heart,
Why don't you share it with me?
And we'll just wait and see
if it's happened what it used to be

And lay it down slow,
Lay it down free.
Lay it down easy,
But lay it on me.

If you've got love in your heart,
Why don't you keep it with mine?
I can't promise a miracle,
But I'll always be trying.

And lay it down slow,
Lay it down free.
Lay it down easy,
But lay it on me

Lay it down easy,
Lay it on me

Lay it down easy,
But lay it on me.

Forgot to say...

So sorry for my absence in the past weeks. I've been a little ill & a little busy (well, a lot ill & a lot busy) but I'm back! I've missed a whole heck of stuff that really needs to be posted so I'll go back & just post it all. Sorry if you guys had to read it elsewhere first, but I promise, I wasn't goofing off while on my little sabbatical! Ok, so without further ado, a ton of posts will follow!

SoLo =)

Wentworth on Twitter? Yeah right!

I get these email updates about Wentworth every so often & the update today was about him possibly being in the Bioshock movie. In reading, I found that the info is mainly coming from something "Wentworth" tweeted! Even BuddyTV has fallen for it!

"Prison Break may be ending, but I've got things in the works. Hint...one word: Bioshock.
8:00 PM May 26th
"

Now I'm not a "tweeter"... don't fancy the site, never even been to the site until today when I was interested in finding out more. It seems that Wentworth has a Twitter page where he mainly talks about music & misspells words! Anyway, the really strange thing about this whole Bioshock entry is the whole conversation - check it below (I omitted the names of the ppl involved for privacy reasons but you can go to the page & see it all):

"Prison Break may be ending, but I've got things in the works. Hint...one word: Bioshock.
8:00 PM May 26th

@wentworthmiller Bioshock? Is It your new film? 1 day ago

@wentworthmiller Where you are now? In China? 1 day ago

@Z Maybe (?) In development for next year I think. I let the agents and lawyers deal with the details...lol 8:10 PM May 26th

@wentworthmiller Wow that was a great game, is that a movie or a TV series? 8:02 PM May 26th

@J A movie I think. 8:10 PM May 26th

@wentworthmiller Wow that would be awesome, keep my fingers crossed, definatly one to watch! 8:12 PM May 26th
"

Wentworth has already said that he doesn't do these type websites. And forgive me for using my brain, but I don't think Wentworth would have to guess as to whether or not Bioshock, his "something in the works", is a movie or TV series, especially when it's plastered all over IMDB which is the site listed as his website on his Twitter page LOL! I think these people actually believe they are talking to Wentworth LOL! You really have to check this out http://twitter.com/wentworthmiller.

I WANT ONE!!!


ok so you see those rolls of toilet paper in the picture above? well they have a horror story printed on them and they are for sale in Japan. I WANT ONE!!! Is that not totally awesome? anyway the reason this is being done is to promote that toilet paper so they got the author of "Ring" to agree to print his horror story on toilet paper. Too bad i dont live in Japan. I would love to have me one of those. LOL!! check out the article below.



TOKYO – In a country where ghosts are traditionally believed to hide in the loo, a Japanese company is advertising a new literary experience — a horror story printed on toilet paper.

Each roll carries several copies of a new nine-chapter novella written by Koji Suzuki, the Japanese author of the horror story "Ring," which has been made into movies in both Japan and Hollywood.

"Drop," set in a public restroom, takes up about three feet (90 centimeters) of a roll and can be read in just a few minutes, according to the manufacturer, Hayashi Paper.

The company promotes the toilet paper, which will sell for 210 yen ($2.20) a roll, as "a horror experience in the toilet."

Toilets in Japan were traditionally tucked away in a dark corner of the house due to religious beliefs. Parents would tease children that a hairy hand might pull them down into the dark pool below.

If you happen to meet a fave celeb of yours and would like to share your experience on the blog, do let us know and send us your story and pics if available and we'll be more than happy to post them. The first celeb meeting is from our faithful ZIE!!! I meant to post this a while back but I've been busy and hadnt had time to download the pictures. Tonight I have done that so here is her meeting with Bayu Kusumanegara... actually, it was a lunch date with Bayu Kusumanegara!!! He's cute!!! enjoy!!! Thanx Zie for sharing this with us!!


Sunday 12th April 2009
Location: Lagun Sari Indonesian Restaurant - Singapore

The event was suppossed to start at 2pm but as usual there were some delays. After some speeches and a performance by a local duo who i swear i don't even know the man we've been waiting for appeared at exactly 230pm.
First came the singer Rivky. Ok so all of us didn't know who he was exactly but he had a nice voice and we enjoyed it. He came in singing the theme song of the soap that Bayu is acting in. Halfway into the song Rivky announced Bayu's name and he came in singing! All of us went crazy!! He was so cute, dressed in white and a black jacket. Anyway after the song he thanked everyone for coming. Bayu was speechless for a while. He was just so touched and overwhelmed by the response. He was really teary eyed.

There were several games organised. Firstly 4 girls had to act with Bayu. It was sooo funny. The girls were so good that he was speechless. He looked at us in the crowd asking for help. We had a good laugh. Secondly it was a dance competition. 4 girls were again picked. My friend As Dee and I forced her niece to go up stage and dance with him and wow did she dance! She was so good too! The other 4 girls were nothing compared to her. Bayu himself was scared dancing with her lol! He was so cute. When it was time to choose a winner, each girl had to dance with him again and we would choose. Of course As Dee and I shouted and clapped loudly for Fifi (her niece). Bayu looked at As Dee and me when fifi came up to dance with him again...he said "wow i am scared now" right at us! LOL! that was just so cute.

We had a short break then, the local duo performed again so everyone including Bayu ate while they sang. Then it was time to cut his bday cake. His bday was actually in March but we celebrated it on Sunday. He was shocked too that he had a cake. Then everyone sang him the bday song. He was blushing! LOL!!

After lunch it was the autograph session. We went table by table. As Dee and i went last (well almost last). We gave him our gift, which was a sports bag which contained a sports jacket, a tshirt and a cap. When i handed him the bag i told him there's more inside and he was really touched. As Dee as usual had to kiss him but i told her...NO!! So she ended up kissing him cheek to cheek. When it was my turn he kissed me cheek to cheek lol! We then took our photos with him.

It was a great lunch. What do i think of Bayu Kusumanegara? He is a very nice person. Humble and lovable. He is soft spoken also. And funny too. He really does appreciate his fans. Thorughout the event he kept thanking everyone for coming and supporting him.

Wentworth's new mag cover

Thanks to Yingee, we have a new surprise: Wentworth on the cover of Modern Weekly Magazine! Yingee tells us that there's no new news, but the photos are new & that's enough to earn a spot here! Enjoy!

oh no!!!!


Hi everybody!
bad news... MY OVEN IS BROKEN!!!!!
My niece came over my house because she wanted to bake.
After we finished baking,I decided to let my oven clean itself. I press the "self clean" button and it tells me to lock my oven door. I lock my oven door and let it do it's business. halfway through the process I figure it's clean enough so I turn of my oven, and unlock the oven door. the problem is that my oven's door says unlocked but it wont open!!! my oven door is still locked and I cant get inside.
today i will call to get it fixed. I am just a little upset because I was going to bake with my niece again and had to tell her that my oven is broken. she was upset but nothing a trip to the beach couldnt fix.

that's it from me for now because i have to jump in the shower before i head off to work. Oh i have more stuff to blog about so hang tight. I really missed you guys!

peace out!

Ramen Challenge!!!




OK, So today I was off from work and my boss decided to take today off as well so we could have lunch together. What was the special occasion? Well, I was going to take the Orochon Ramen special #2 challenge. Still confused? Ok basically what this challenge is, is you are served a big bowl of super spicy ramen noodles and broth and the goal is to completely eat the entire bowl of fiery noodles and broth within 30 minutes and your prize for completing the challenge is you get a Polaroid picture of yourself on the wall of the restaurant along with everybody else that has completed the challenge. So there I was sitting in the air conditioned dining area of this Japanese ramen shop waiting for my boss to get there. The friendly staff greeted me and served me water as soon as I was seated. as I looked around...


I could see dozens of customers enjoying their giant bowl of steamy hot noodles; None however, had the Special #2. Was I the only one bold enough to try it? Yes! I finished sending Laila a txt and I feel someone squeeze my shoulders, It was my boss! Finally I can get started with my challenge!! As soon as he was seated our orders were taken. I ordered the special #2 and was warned of it's spiciness. "That's ok" I said. And in just a few minutes a steamy bowl of noodles arrives to our table. It was my boss's miso ramen soup. 15 seconds later a piping hot bowl of spicy ramen is placed in front of me and the waiter starts his timer. "ok you have thirty minutes, good luck" he says. I immediately start spooning the boiling hot broth in my mouth burning my tongue but I dont care because I am going to win that challenge. My boss asks me if it's spicy and I answer, "no, it's not spicy, it's just hot in temperature and there seems to be a whole damn lot of food in my bowl... more than yours" he laughs and says "Mayra, i don't know how you're gonna finish it, I see this giant bowl of food in front of this tiny woman and honestly I am thinking there's no way you're going to finish all that food". My response? " You're supposed to be rooting for me and I don't hear you cheering me on" LOL!! We start joking around and I tell him to stop talking to me because I need to finish my challenge. As a vegetarian, I didnt want to eat the pork in my soup so I gave it to my boss. LOL! It was the first time in almost ten years that I put meat infused broth and even bit's of meat into my mouth all for the sake of sticking it up for this challenge. 12 minutes down and I start feeling the hit. I feel so full I can burst but I must fight my way through this challenge!!! I put some noodles in my mouth and forcfully swallow them. My speed is slowing down significantly and my bowl is not even a fourth down. I turn to my boss and say " I am not gonna finish this challenge am I?" LOL!! He smiles and responds "Mayra I wish I could say yes but too much time has elapsed and you still have all that food in your bowl. You're too small to eat all that food. It's impossible nobody can do it". I turn to the wall of polaroid pictures of all the victorious people that have won the challenge (all men by the way) and say to my boss "they were able to finish! why can't I?" He says "Well because they are sick fucks!" I looked at my still full bowl of ramen and say "I want to be a sick fuck too" LOL!! At this point I know there is no way in hell I can continue eating. My boss says "alright Mayra, I think you have to waive the white flag and surrender" I answer "NEVER! I may not finish this in thirty minutes but I will eat till the very end."
Sad to say I didnt finish my bowl of ramen noodles. Not because they were "spicy" (to me they were not spicy at all as I am used to spicy food because I grew up with it) but because it was just WAY TOO MUCH FOOD! I told my boss I felt defeated and he tried to make me feel better of course. LOL!!! I was so determined but I failed miserably. My bowl was still completely full. It was just way too much food. After we left the restaurant, we hung out for a bit and then we had to part. My boss wanted to treat me to frozen yogurt but I simply couldnt eat another bite of anything. "what's next?" he asked? "The beach" I replied. "what's there?" Uh, lot's of water and sand" I responded jokingly. "what are you gonna do there?" he asked. "Run off my noodles"
"You didn't even eat anything!"
"yes I did! check out the baby bump! I have a baby bump and ate pork for nothing cuz I didnt even win! damn I am so sad"
"dont be sad" he replies.
We eventually part ways and I head to the beach. I ran for a bit and watched the seaguls float in the water. As the sun starts to set I feel bad because i really felt defeated. "What will make me happy right now?" I thought to myself.
"CHOCOLATE!!!"
I buy a big bar of chocolate and enjoy every last bit of it's silky texture and rich cacao flavor.
"ah! that was satisfying!"
Now I must run that off too... but tomorrow. LOL!!
I hop in my little red prius and head home. I check my email and there they are... the pictures my boss sent me that he took of me as I was taking the challenge. He only sent me two... I know he took more than just two but whatever. I'll ask him for them tomorrow. the picture above is my ramen bowl after I had eaten all I could eat. LOL!! I lost big time!! LOL!!!
Anyway I am glad I did the challenge even though I didnt finish it.
I may have failed and admitted defeat, but not once did i even think of backing out, I went full force anyway.
Well that was my ramen challenge. Until next time!!
thanx for reading!!!

Love Ya!
