I knew there was a reason...
It seems that FOX might be blaming the recent drop Prison Break ratings on the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. And due to that, they may actually pull the plug on Terminator.
According to SyFy Portal, “The network has been disappointed by “Sarah Connor’s” numbers so far this season, and some executives feel that the show is dragging down numbers for “Prison Break,” which airs as a lead-out.”
A source for the site says that production will likely stop on the Terminator series and they might even toss out some existing episodes. “They don’t want to lose ‘Prison Break,’ so there could be some schedule shuffling in the future.”
Now see... I knew something else had to be wrong because there's no way people aren't watching Prison Break b/c it's no good! I personally do not watch T:TSCC. I tried watching the season premiere a few weeks back but it just didn't do it for me. I can't say it's not a good show b/c I don't know but it's not something that's going to keep me interested - sorry. So for those who haven't tuned into Prison Break b/c you heard about the ratings drop & you thought it was no good to watch, tune in next week... the show keeps getting better!!!!!!

Some things you may not know about Wentworth Miller
I found an interesting article featuring some things about Wentworth Miller that we already know & a few things I didn't know/hadn't read before - not sure about you! The article is from early this month, but I thought it deserved a post regardless! Anyway, here's the whole list! 1 & 2 is what I I didn't know! 3-8 is stuff we all should know by now!2. Wentworth fancies trying his hand at a Superman villain after unsuccessfully auditioning to play the Man of Steel himself in the past. He says: "I'd definitely love a crack at General Zod. So I'm hoping that Bryan Singer makes a sequel to the Superman that's coming out and casts me." Since a sequel was confirmed earlier this year, we're keeping our fingers crossed! *While I knew about him auditioning for Superman, I didn't realize there was a sequel underway. I'll have to check that out & hope my Wenty makes the cut!
3. Wentworth was born in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, but his family moved to Brooklyn when he was just one year old.
4. Wentworth's ancestry is complicated enough to put even Johnny Depp to shame - his mum is Russian, French, Syrian, Lebanese and Dutch, while his dad is African-American, Jamaican, English, German and Cherokee.
5. Speaking of ancestry, Wentworth is determined to keep the family name going strong. He is Wentworth Miller III and his dad is Wentworth Miller II, so no prizes for guessing the name he's picked out for his future offspring.
6. Wentworth is every bit as brainy as his TV alter ego. He studied English literature at Princeton University, where he was apparently nicknamed "Stinky" because of his sarcastic attitude towards his friends. Charming!
7. When not burying his nose in a book, Wentworth sang baritone in the internationally-known all-male a cappella group Princeton Tigertones, who busked through Europe and the Middle East every summer.
8. Wentworth worked as a temp for studios, agencies and production companies before landing a role in The Human Stain. He recalls: "There were some lean years. I remember going through my CDs figuring out what I was willing to hock because I needed an extra $15 to make rent."
9. Wentworth confesses that he receives some eye-popping fan mail but is not always able to write back. "The mail amazes me," he says. "I sometimes get these letters that are ten pages, and handwritten, from women pouring their hearts out and, for security reasons, I can only respond with a headshot and 'Dear so and so, be good. WM.' It never feels like enough."
10. Wentworth claims to be "deathly allergic" to cats - and that's not all. He explains: "Unfortunately, I'm allergic to all animals and even some people. There was a scene where I had to give Dominic Purcell a hug - you know, a touching embrace between the brothers - and at the end of the night I had a rash on my neck. I got a lot of teasing on that."

Episode 7 Sneak Peek: Five the Hard Way
Last night on Prison Break: The Recap

Episode 405 "Blow Out"
Airdate: 2008-9-29
*If you missed it: you can go to FOX on Demand to watch the full episode before reading the recap!
SoLo's comments are italicized! Episode 407 "Five the Hard Way" promo & sneak peek coming soon!
Last week on Prison Break, the gang set out to find the third computer card. Gretchen escaped her prison after smelling what could only be described as “The smell of death.” Lastly, the General found out that Don Self has been looking into him. On with this weeks episode!
We kick off tonight’s episode with a bang! The whole gang were in progress of what looked like a very elaborate plan to snatch the next piece of Scylla. The entire beginning segment of the episode never stopped it’s action, very exciting. To make a long story short, the gang were at a horse racing derby, and their plan was to get to the manager’s office to plant Roland’s device. [Very exciting segment, in deed! I had fun watching this part. Bellick was hilarious, having a fit with the clerk at the desk! He looked like a kid throwing a tantrum - hands up in the air, almost jumping up & down! I've even gotta' admit that the doc played a vital role this episode... FINALLY! She was sexy & did a good job... 'bout time, b/c usually she's either in the way or just useless. Anyway, notice how Michael looked at her as she walked by & said "Don't get used to it"? *daydreaming about that stare* WOW! Anyway, back to the show ;)]
Was the manager involved in the company? No, actually, they made sure that one of the horses gates got jammed when opening, so the man that worked for the company would get angry enough to go to the manager’s office. A brilliant plan. Well done, Michael. [Quick observation: This is the 4th out of 6 cards needed for Scylla in six episodes. What will happen in the show when they get the rest of the cards?] Now to get the device back, that was Mahone’s job, but something went screwy, and before you knew it, he was getting caught by the police in a restricted area. So he was arrested with the device the team needed. [Since I'd already seen the preview, I knew what would happen here but it was still exciting to see! Sara did all she could to distract the officer so Mahone could get out but he wouldn't budge. I just couldn't figure out why, after Mahone got out of the manager's office, he hit the other officer! I'm sure he assumed that he would sock him then get away but it would have been better if he'd just said what he did about wanting a manager then allow the officer to escort him out... plausible, b/c he gets out with the device AND he's not suspected of any wrong doing... BUT if that were the case, we wouldn't have had the drama to follow, right! *ETA: I just thought about something as I am rewatching PB right now... Sara actually was the reason Mahone went to jail!!! She didn't do a good enough job distracting the cop so Alex had to sneak out back which is where he got caught! So it's all Sara's fault!!!!!!! Nah, I'm just picking since I didn't have a reason to say she's a waste of time! There wasn't anything she could have done... she tried really hard!]
In what looked like Pleasantville, Gretchen showed up at her sister’s house. She explained that she was stranded in the desert for quite a while, and had to walk the whole way. I am sure glad that T-Bag didn’t eat her. Things like that can happen in the desert. After a quick hot shower, she was ready for some action. She busted out a gun she had hidden in her sister’s house, which scared her sister. Then we learned the little girl her sister was taking care of was actually Gretchen’s daughter…wow. Saying her goodbyes, she was off, a girl on a mission. [This segment was very interesting. I'm loving Gretchen right now because, like Dave says here, she's "on a mission"! I know she's going to be major trouble for the Company. I'm not looking for her to team up with Mikey & the crew, but it would be nice b/c right now, everyone's main objective seems to be finding Scylla &/or taking the General & the Company down! At any rate, who knew Gretchen would be a mommy! She actually has some kind of heart, too! Saw those tears she "shed" as she kissed babygirl goodbye? Ahhh, how sweet! But the sweetness quickly turned to a vengeful poker face as she walked away!]
At Gate Co., things are beginning to look a little sketchy on T-Bag’s end. To keep his job there, he had to fill out some paperwork on his clients, but one of his superiors came in telling him that there was an inconsistency with his work, it seemed the social security numbers his clients gave him were all fake. He got away with that, but my guess is that he won’t be able to stay there for much longer.
Meanwhile, Don was informed about Mahone’s arrest, but he had to cut the call short, because there was a pesky IT guy sitting at his desk without authorization. We learned later that this IT guy was really a man that works for The Company, and was there keeping an eye on Don.
At the police station, Don showed up ready to bail Mahone out, but since he hit a police officer, he couldn’t do it. So he had Mahone sign a release form for his possessions, so they could get Roland’s device now, and figure out everything else later. [I felt really bad for Frank Zwan... sorry, Mahone LOL! His stake in all of this changed when Wyatt killed his son, so while he is wholeheartedly working on the mission, he is more concerned with avenging his little boy's death - rightfully so. I'm only hoping that this doesn't get him into more trouble that he can handle... Getting arrested in the US is not good for a man who is supposed to be incarcerated in a Panamanian prison LOL! Thankfully he had a fake ID to hold them off but with LAPD about to run his prints, he's looking a serious hiccup!]
At the federal building, Wyatt showed up to give Don a friendly hello. He told him that The General likes his privacy. Don told Mike that he had a conversation with Wyatt, which made him realise that if he can get to him, he can get to Mahone, which makes Mahone a liability, and he may need to be killed. Michael wasn’t ready to accept that just yet. [I guess Michael has realized he truly is like Odysseus - having to sacrifice his men for the sake of the mission. This is something that Michael said he does not want to deal with but now, he has no choice as Mahone is the first to be "put on the chopping block"!]
At Gate Corporation, T-Bag found some more bird book clues. It seemed he found a closet room that was the exact same dimensions that were in the book. This room, I’m guessing is very important, which means he’s getting close. This room reminded me of the storage room in Season 1 the gang used to dig a hole. Ahh, the glory days. [T-Bag truly is pesky! He always seems to be in the right place at the wrong time... or is it the right place at the wrong time? Either place or time, he seems to have a knack for finding something someone else needs! The guys are struggling with no clues, trying to piece all of this together and he has all the clues but knows not what they are for! Amazing! Ahh, but his time is short!]
[I've gotta catch you up before you read this next part b/c you might wonder about a few things... Mahone was approached by a police officer who told him the manager at the racetrack saw him with a younger man. He wanted to know who the younger man was but Mahone didn't give up any info. The cop assumed that Alex & Michael were planning to rob the vault and said he could cut him a break if he gave Mike up. He started saying things like "you probably have a wife to get home to, a family". Mahone starts to have flashbacks about Pam & Cameron & how Michael told him that he was on his own back in Sona. He seemed to be thinking about possibly doing it especially since Agent Self had just left demanding he sign over his personal effects so he could get the device. The officer told him to let him know if he wanted to talk & I'm guessing he decided not to rat Michael out b/c he ended up in court!
Ok, so the gang had planned to take over the wiring of the 5th cardholder's home and they were on their way there but Mahone called Michael to tell him that Wyatt showed up at the jail. He assured Michael he would not say anything about the mission but Michael had to promise him one thing: kill Wyatt then call Pam to let her know that he (Wyatt) was gone. Michael does so promise then hangs up the phone. You can tell that Michael is not comfortable just letting Alex "take one for the team". He's not the kind of guy to allow someone to be in danger and not do anything about it, especially when he can do something about it! He knows that Mahone is either going to be killed by Wyatt sooner or later or he's going to spend a very long time behind bars, so he has to do something SOON!]
At Mahone’s court hearing, Wyatt showed up. He wasn’t the only one, Sara also came, as well as Sucre. Something was obviously up. You guessed it, another genius plan put together by Michael. They took over the power for the court building. They increased the power, making all the lights go out, giving Sucre and Sara enough time to get Mahone out unnoticed. Incredible. As they were escaping, Wyatt very convincingly pointed his finger at Mahone, pantomiming pulling a trigger. Hey, it’s more scary than taunting a victim with lemonade. [This was one of my favorite parts of the show last night because at first I'm thinking, Sara's a damn doctor! She can't pose as an attorney! But then when the power went out & Mahone was rescued, I realized her goal was to grab his file with his fingerprints -- very happy to see this character being put to some good use! Wyatt was so pissed off b/c he wanted Mahone so bad! I was cheering the whole time -- Michael's brilliance at work again! He's definitely the guy I'd want on my team & the one I'd call to get me out of a jam... and I do mean ANY jam ;) Back at the warehouse, Mahone thanks everyone for saving him, whether they did it for the team or for him... while it was for the team, I'm guessing Michael actually did it for him. Michael is that kind of guy!]
Back at Gate, T-Bag was approached again by his superior. He told him that he found even more inconsistencies in his report. He was caught as a fraud, and had to run. The closet room will have to wait for a later episode. At the end, at Whistler’s hideaway spot, Gretchen ran into T-Bag. Apparently, she has never met him before. I never thought about that. Cue the end credits. [T-Bag is so crazy! He was told by the guy (I forgot his name), that he had 5 minutes to get in his office & explain the discrepancies or he was calling the authorities. T-Bag got all flustered, wiped down the office, grabbed the book, told the secretary "Nice knowing you, sugar" and bolted out of there like lightning! Gretchen actually found T-Bag by going to the county morgue and posing as Whistler's (well Gary Miller's) wife. She punches out this guy so she could get the file and Whistler's personal effects. She gets a cell phone out of the file & listens to a message from a woman saying that the check cleared & the apartment is ready. By the time T-Bag gets to the apartment to wipe away fingerprints from there and clear out, Gretchen is already there! She punches T-Bag's in the face, steps on his face with a stiletto at least 5", pulls a gun on him & says "Who the hell are you?" I swear I love her!
*ETA: I almost forgot that Mahone called Wyatt, who was obviously waiting for him to contact him sooner or later! Wyatt tells Mahone since he worked for the Company that he should know not to take things personally. He even tells Alex that they need to "discuss" some things! Of course that didn't go over well! Mahone's like, "yeah whatever... I'm gonna "ghost" you!!!" Well, he didn't say it exactly like that, but it's what he meant!]
Next week, it seems the show is going to get even more like the Oceans 11 movies, as the gang sets off to Las Vegas. This should be interesting.

Tonight on Prison Break 9/29
Episode 6 "Blow out" promo #2
MOVIE NIGHT!!!! 9/28
I know it's Monday today and we're all getting ready to savor Prison Break so we won't be watching any movies tonight, but here is a great horror movie that scared the pants off of me. LOL!! "School Killer" is this weeks pick!
This 2001 Spanish horror film is originally titled "Nos van a matar a todos" (They are going to kill us all) but i guess they've given it an English title as well. It's a well made film, in my opinion, and one that will certainly have you hiding under the covers of your bed ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Anyway, I do recommend this movie for a spooky movie night. There are some rated "R" scenes so kids, this movie is not for you... and parents, keep out of reach of children. ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Here's the synopsis courtesy of MSN movies and Jason Buchanan
"A horrifying tragedy reaches out from the past to terrorize a group of teenage thrill-seekers exploring an abandoned school in this Spanish slasher starring legendary horror icon Paul Naschy. It was over two decades ago that a mentally unstable security guard went on a murderous killing spree in the halls of the now-abandoned school, but when a group of unsuspecting teens break into the school in hopes of getting a cheap scare, the reappearance of the psychotic security guard finds the teenage explorers running for their lives."
There is small "X" rated part in this trailer so no kids please. Besides this is a horror film with a whole lot of gruesome killings it's not appropriate for children anyway. The trailer is in Spanish, by the way, so sorry if you can't understand it. The movie does, however, have English subtitles, so get it & ENJOY!!!

*UPDATED* Sneak Peek of Episode 406: Blow Out

Wednesday, September 24, 2008
What do they mean: "the last season"?
The buzz online today is that Entertainment Weekly had a heart to heart with Prison Break producer Matt Olmstead. Now I'm 95% sure I read this somewhere like 2 or 3 weeks ago. I particularly remember the part where Mr. Olmstead says "There’s a shelf life to serialized drama. If this is the last season, we’re not mourning that because it’s been a great ride and we have a great season [ahead]." I can't find where I posted this before, so I'm assuming I just read it (during one of my many trysts online) without blogging about it. I have my moments... don't shoot me!I'm SOOOOOOOOO happy!!!!
There's a very old "throwback" song that comes to mind when I think about the excitement in my heart! Wanna' know what it is? OK... here it is! LOL!!!!!!!!
