24 and Prison Break: you could learn a lot from each other

Is it just me, or is prime time TV gearing up for the summer a little early this year.  We still have a few episodes left, but the plot has completely gone to hell on both Prison Break AND 24.  And according to Tivo, Heroes ain't comin' back anytime soon.

So, Prison Break.  What we still have going for us is that Michael Schofield is still smokin hot.  I am glad that during this long run from the law, he's managed to keep up with shaving his head, because last week on the Unit?  NOEL HAD HAIR.  And now I can't watch that show any more.  But other than Michael's HOTTness, Prison Break is fading fast.  First of all, where are we now?  I thought we were in Mexico, or at least Sucre and Teabag and Mr. Ex-Guard were, all chasing each other.  Now we're all in Panama.  I may just be confused about all that, because I do remember Teabag wearing a Panama hat a few weeks back.  Hmm. My real problem is Sucre is just going to die in the street from a measly stabwound, after everything he's gone through in this show?   I also have a problem with Sketchy Ex-FBI guy calling the cops to report that "two american men just shot a well-dressed Asian man" BEFORE THE ASIAN DUDE EVEN SHOWS UP. Muwahahahahaha, yes, now we know your evil plan to double cross Asian Dude.  But did you consider that now the police are on their way, and if something goes wrong, you're totally screwed?  Of course not.  This is the small screen equivalent of leaving the hero to die by locking him in a room filling with water with a bunch of angry carp with lasers attached to their heads.   Last but not least, are they really setting us up for Prison Break: Panama next season?   Well.... as long as they keep shaving Michael's head on a regular basis, I'm OK with that, I guess.

Moving on to 24, I just have one thing to say:  "At least you have your faith.  I'm still looking for mine."  I thought there could be no worse line than "I tripped over your ineptitude", but I stand corrected.  Poor douchbag guy from Division.  He tortures people at the drop of a hat, but it's just because he hasn't found God yet.  LAME.

Also lame?  A supersmart terrorist thinking he could survive by chopping off his arm with an axe and running.  Apparently, this nuclear scientist did not take biology.  Heck, neither did I, and I still realize that 1. That would hurt like a bitch, and 2. You'd bleed to death in about 35 seconds.  Unless, of course, your terrorist friends did a half-assed job of bandaging you up with a shirt.  You'd be fine then.

I'm also not really down with the "We're nuking Mysterious No-Name Middle Eastern Country", no, wait we'll wake up Palmer, we're not nuking anyone!  Wait, Palmer has lost is marbles, we're nuking them again.  Obviously we're going to nuke them, because that is just the worst idea in the history of ideas, and that's what Presidents do. On the show, I mean.

Last but not least, I think the Vice President's blond henchwoman is a Fembot.  Don't ask me why, I just know these things.

In other news, I went for my W-word test yesterday and it was the most humiliating experience of my life.  Now I have to wait THREE DAYS for the results. 

What, you thought I could go a whole day without mentioning it?

I suggest you drop 24 and all that other garbage for the gem that is Tori & Dean: Inn Love. You can thank me later!

PS it's on tonight!

Oh love.. I'm still crossing my fingers you're W-free!

(I bet strangers to your blog are wondering what the hell the W-word is. Hee.)

24 and Prison Break are the only two shows I'm actually watching at the moment. I just love all the cute boys, though I miss Jack and his sack. You know. THE JACKSACK. Yep.

ha ha, you had to shit on a stick!

Hope you don't have any parasites, but if you do, here's hoping they are much like the stomach flu: Presto! Skinny Jeans in Two Days! I kept hoping Holly would give me her Burma Flu, but that evil bitch didn't share!

Heros will be leaving? My hubby LOVES that show. He will mourn.
