Yeah, I don't listen to a lot of different stuff, apparently...

ARRRGH, I hate mid-season hiatus! Granted, it's better than it WAS going to be (2 or 3 more episodes, then hiatus until April), but ARGHHH!! I'm glad it's coming back in January instead, one of the few good things about the writers guild strike, cause they are postponing 24.

Episode was good, I feel bad for Mahone As for the brothers, I don't understand why LJ is still alive, as sad as it sounds. Since Scofield is no longer needed, they can get rid of LJ. However, now that Whistler is stuck in Sona still, I guess they still kind of do...although, they don't, cause now it looks like Scofield is being transferred prisons.

What will happen with Lechero, T-Bag, Whistler, Bellick, and Mahone?? Man, I hate waiting...guess I don't have a choice.

That is my all-time favorite album cover. The best part about it, I think, is the fact that there is a skull in the 8-ball. Not to mention, the nun holding the stick looks totally badass!

I love their first album. I don't think there's a bad song on there, actually. The second album I bought about 3 days ago, simply because I had heard their new single "Ten Ton Brick", but I haven't had a chance to listen to it the whole way through. Since I have this weekend off, I will probably give it a listen then, and then edit my thoughts on the second album into this post. However, Volume 1 is great, and I highly recommend it.

Well, I was introduced to music when I was in the womb. My parents put headphones on my mother's stomach. Also, when I was a baby, I wouldn't go to sleep unless I had music, there's actually pictures of me with headphones as big as my head on laying in the crib.

When I was 2 or 3, I was absolutely obsessed with "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel. My parents said I would jump around and dance and sing to the song (well, as well as a 3 year old can sing along).

As I got to double digits, I listened to a lot of stuff with my mother, so I heard a lot of George Michael, Heart, Dixie Cups, Joan Jett, Bonnie Tyler, Bon Jovi, and the like. I could sing almost any of their songs to you, just because it's all my mother listened to.

Around the age of 12 or so, my friends started getting me into rap. I loved Juvenile, DMX, Tupac, and stuff like that.

However, a few years later my sister introduced me to Marilyn Manson. I was like "what the hell is this?" She started introducing me to more stuff, such as Rammstein, Bloodhound Gang, and Korn, and that pretty much shaped my tastes how they are now. Obviously they have evolved over time, as now I am liking Muse, Linkin Park, Chevelle, Adema, and so on so on.

Funny story...well, I think it's funny. A few years back, when Savage Garden were getting huge (ugh!), my sister started listening to that. After the music she introduced me to, I was quite distraught, but figured it was part of growing up. A few years later, I have gotten her into stuff I am into (just like I got my Mom and Dad into stuff I'm into), and so I bought her a Savage Garden cd for Christmas. Up until last year, we re-gifted it to each other every year, it was good fun. Never been opened, either, just passed back and forth. On the bright side, though, like I said, the whole family (with the exception of one of my brothers) listens to what I got them into, so I never have to worry about hearing crappy music again!

Well, being the Prison Break enthusiast that I am, they can do no wrong in my world. Granted, there have been some "slow" episodes, but it's all character progression, dammit!

Anyway, I thought it was AWESOME! Unfortunately, they are running together in my head, so I don't know what happened in episode 1 and episode 2, but DAMN was it good! New guy getting killed and Whistler getting blamed for it was class. The question is, though, who really killed him? Are we going to find out or are they just going to leave us to think about it? I think it WAS Whistler, simply because the guy knew something about him he didn't want him to.

Mahone's whole deal thing is genius, I tell you, genius! He is freaking out, and it's making US freak out, simply because we are with his character. I am just as paranoid as him, thinking it's a setup for the Company! However, I have a feeling that them having talked it down to 4 years will keep him going, unless he goes berserk and kills himself and everyone else.

Burrows and Sofia's stuff together is good, I think. Having gone back and watched season 1 again, MAN has Purcell grown as an actor. Seriously, some of his scenes in the first season were hard to watch, but last season and now this season is just showing how much he has grown. The whole LJ thing is running it's course, though. We know he's going to get killed (unless Fox says they don't want a 16 year old brutally murdered, which is possible), so they are just prolonging it until the mid-season break, I think. Was very clever (also, very unrealistic, but meh) how Burrows noticed the three body-bags that just so happened to fall out of the van after the accident. Now Burrows knows that Susan cannot be trusted, but at the same time, he has to trust her to get LJ back. I guess I'm kinda torn on LJ, then, because it's giving us some good stuff.

Am I the only one who thinks Susan is creepy? She has bi-polar tendencies, one second having the "happy tone" in her voice, the next "gonna kill you" tone. It's just creepy...

Lechero, now THERE is a story line that is picking up. Guard comes in and gives away all of his secrets, and now no one inside the prison trusts him. How great is that? Very good way of getting him in on the breakout, I think.

Another good thing about Lechero, is that now T-Bag seems like he is going to have more of a roll than just lackey this season, finally. Did you see the look on his face when the guard said he should have put someone else in charge? He did that thing with his tongue he always does. The only problem?

Sammy is turning into a great character. He always looks like he is just in the background, but at the same time he is playing important rolls. Stealing Lechero's cigars, and then giving them to long haired lackey just shows that he is way more of an important player than they are making him out to be. I can see him going after Lechero's spot, too, not to mention his little sibling-like-fights with T-Bag have been quite entertaining.

I called Whistler being a member of the company at the beginning of the season, seriously. Right away I thought "why would the company send someone to break him out if he is going to rot in the prison anyway", so I thought it was common sense. Not to mention the fact, he knows Susan's name is Gretchen...what's going on there? And does that mean Sofia and Lincoln are going to hook up, now that we know...arrrghh, too many questions!!!

That brings me to Scofield...and I have a problem. I can not take him seriously when he is sad and distressed. When he learned Sara died, ok, the sad walk back to the prison was good, but the crying was horrible, as was his calling out Whistler, in my opinion. The look on Whistler's face was more "are you kidding me" than "what the hell are you doing" type of thing, just because it was so over the top. I'm all for over-the-topness, I watch this show for goodness sake, but I just didn't like that. Other than that, what, 20 minute interval, I thought everything else he did was good.

All-in-all, DEFINITELY got me more excited for this season than I have been. Before it was "meh, I'll catch it next week", now its "5 days?? How will I survive?!?" (deja vu, I said something like that before in this thread.)

It was confirmed before the start of the series that she'd play a different character, as the decision to kill off Laverne was made under the impression that the last series was the very last of them all.

So, did anyone else notice during the credits on episode 2, Aloma Wright, the lady who played Nurse Laverne, is now playing Nurse Shirley...

Laverne's twin sister's name is Shirley...

Wow, they're breaking out of prison MIGHTY early this season! We're at episode, what, 5? 6?? Already they're breaking out? Each season is 22 episodes, so that means if they succeed this early in getting out of SONA, then the rest of the season is Scofield going for REVENGE!! This episode was good, new guy coming in to add to "Who is Whistler" drama, Burrows finally opening up to Whistler's girlfriend, original breakout plans being screwed up.

In two weeks, the two hour special looks like it is going to be exciting. I just wonder who all they are going to have break out with Scofield and Whistler? I can see Mahone, Bellick, new guy who knows Whistler, young 17 year old guy all breaking out, but then what of T-Bag?

Spoilers about Fox's rumored plan with this season:

Am I the only person who thought it was Sarah's head the instant they teased the reveal last week? I don't really get why it's so "shocking"; if it were LJ Lincoln would have gone crazy and the ridiculousness of their twists have gone well beyond hand in a box. Gotta love how the producers find a way to keep this show TV's biggest sausage fest though. When they killed Veronica I figured that was basically Sarah's insurance policy because they wouldn't kill off ALL their female characters, right? But hey, the producers choices beyond the first season have proven that even the most basic common sense elements of TV logic are not to be taken for granted with this show. This latest episode wasn't bad, it was the best of the season so far, but it definitely wasn't anything to write home about. It was a make or break episode for me though, so at least I'll give it another week.

Interview with Dominic, Wentworth, and Amaury about the shocking death in last night's episode.

Interview with the writers about last night's death, as well.

Therefore, it is confirmed, they ain't coming back!!!

Good episode, and can't go wrong with a Haywire appearance!! Sucre's back, too, and all it took was the death of a friend...

Season's getting good, picking up speed, liking it more than after the first 1 or 2 episodes!

I am going to see Skillet at the local high school, they're openers haven't been announced yet. Last time it was Skillet and Flyleaf with Dropping Daylight and Fair to Midland, and I missed it, so here's to hoping they have as good of bands this time.

I was going to come in and complain a little bit about this season, but then I realized that I have to remember that they are still establishing the characters, so I can't expect a "OMG WTF" show right out the gate.

They seemed to clean up the Whistler stuff really quickly, I guess so that he and Michael could start the planning sooner, since they have one week. How the heck is he supposed to come up with a way to break out in a week? I mean, it's not like there's much else to do, but still.

The Sucre thing did bug me, though. I mean, I guess maybe he didn't think about her being on the run with a baby and everything, and when Lincoln said something to him he finally thought about it, but it just makes it seem like him breaking out was kind of pointless. At least Lincoln will have someone to play off of other than the chick with the scratches on her face.

Overall, it's keeping my interest peaked, however, at the same time, it's sort of letting me down, as I am not thinking "HOLY SHIT, I can't wait for next week's episode", I'm thinking more "well, that was interesting. time for raw, wonder what next week's episode is going to be..."

As the guy before me said, I'm going to wait to say whether or not this season is good or bad until they are done establishing the different characters, and we can get to the real meat of the show.

Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation are both girl fronted bands (well, most of Lacuna Coil stuff is fronted by a girl), by they are more considered "goth rock" than anything else.

Paramore is a newer band, they are more pop-punk, though.

Otep is a metal band, and the chick can scream like most of the guys, seriously.

Bif Naked and Halfcocked had some decent stuff, though I haven't heard too much from them lately.

Of course, the classics, like Evanescence, Garbage, Hole, The Distillers, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs but I'm sure you already knew about those.

1. Ralph

2. Marge(yeah, Marge. More-so because anything she does that is crazy is out of character and just that much more entertaining)

3. Grandpa Simpson

4. Comic Book Guy (WORST EPISODE EVER!)

5. Ned Flanders

6. Agnes Skinner

7. Homer

8. Groundskeeper Willie (I'M A MANIAC, MANIAC THAT'S FOR SURRRRE, AND I DANCING LIKE I'VE NEVER, DANCED BEFORRE, YAH!)

9. Milpool.......err, Milhouse

10. Nelson

I really hope they don't do something like......that new girl is Sara, with the scar on her face being plastic surgery. It's just the kind of twist that they would throw at us. I did really like the new prison though, and I'm excited to see what Sucre does next week, as apparently, he's also coming to Panama.

The episode was really good. I was expecting it to be a downer, but it turned out okay. I realize they have to introduce new characters and create new story lines, so I can give a pass on there being no Sara in this episode (and apparently I will have to for the first half of the season at least, since her name was removed from the opening credits). Of course, there was a girl tied up behind LJ who had the same haircut as Sara, and they did say they have her, so she's just going to be tied up for a while I guess.

I love how T-Bag already started kissing ass to align himself with the kingpin. Just like his character, to latch on to the stronger people so he doesn't look weak.

Mahone and Scofield teaming up is going to be just awesome, especially if the way Mahone broke that guys neck is any kind of preview for the rest of the season. Those two's on-screen chemistry is just amazing, and I know it will be fun to watch.

My one complaint about the episode is, how the hell did LJ get caught?? Seriously, he is in hiding with the renegade group who is against 'The Company', how did that change? When Burrows' charges were dismissed, did he get sloppy and just start using his real name in school or something? They better explain that, at least.

From what I got from the first episode, if I interpreted everything correctly, is that 'The Company' wanted Scofield in SONA because the guy behind the wall (who gave the note to Bellick) is a member of 'The Company' or something, and they sent Michael there to break him out. In essence, I guess, now Michael is being forced to work FOR the company. We know that if Scofield helps random guy out, then Bellick (who knows where he is) and Mahone (who won't let Scofield out of his sight) are both going to be involved in a breakout.

Overall? Looks like it's going to be an awesome season!

I'm excited. Don't forget about Mahone, he's in SONA, too. I stopped reading spoilers, so anything I put is speculation.

What it looks like to ME is that since Burrows and Scofield are off of the hook in the United States, they wanted one to die (Burrows) and the other one to go to jail (Scofield). They knew that Michael would try to escape, thus making him wanted in Panama now, so the Panama police will have to deal with him. Seems logical to me, anyway.

Scofield, Bellick, and Mahone working together in SONA? That is either going to be really, REALLY good or really, REALLY bad. I think Scofield and Mahone can pull their genius act while Bellick provides comedy relief.

Burrows going after Sara, meh. It just means that for some amount of the season there are going to be near misses or something, and Burrows isn't going to know where Scofield is, cause I don't think he does, does he?

Sucre is going to be interesting, just because, what the hell is he going to do? Seriously, the only one who knows where Marie Cruz is, is in jail.

T-Bag, I would guess, is going to be transferred to SONA? I mean, he is being held at "county" before being taken to a real jail, right? Again, not 100% sure on that, but I can see him being sent to SONA to join Scofield, Bellick, and Mahone.

Undoubtly, we are going to see some new characters, too. With Franklin, Kellerman, LJ, plus the three escapees who died earlier in season 2 gone, they have room for some new people.

And is anyone going to go after the 5,000,000? I know only Sara, Scofield, and Burrows know about it, but it's just there, floating in that little lake...

Prepare to laugh you asses off...

Ask anyone, and with the exception of their one single "Drowning", no one has heard or they just completely ignored Crazy Town's Darkhorse album. Everyone automatically assumed "oh, the band who did "Butterfly", who gives a shit about them?", but you all really need to go listen to a few tracks on that album, it is actually VERY good.

Stop laughing already and go check it out!!

Well, a few of the songs on there are some really good songs...let's see.

Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody"

This is a classic, and you know it has staying power/is one of the all time greats, just because not only was it big when it was originally released, but when the younger generations heard it in 1993 or whenever "Wayne's World" came out, they made it a number 1 single AGAIN.

Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

I know everyone says Nirvana had better songs, and that's possibly true, but this song truly changed the music industry. No longer were we bopping around to "I Think We're Alone Now" or rocking to the synth sounds of "The Final Countdown", this was the first song to change that.

Ozzy Osbourne "Crazy Train"

Ok, ok, other's might say "Iron Man" or something else by Ozzy or Black Sabbath, but this is THE Ozzy song, and THE rock song. Everyone knows whats coming when the song starts with it's "ALL ABOARD, HA HA HA HA HA HA", you just know it's time to jump aboard the Crazy Train!

Linkin Park "In The End"

Don't flame me!! Actually, I don't care. This song is the biggest rock song in years. I know, I know, Daughtry and Nickelback have probably out sold it, but this was the first non-mainstream rock song, nay, album to shoot up the charts. I know some people here consider the Hybrid Theory album to be mainstream, but if you go listen to it again, most of that stuff would not have been a hit. Heck, most of it wasn't, as I don't recall "One Step Closer" getting too big, and while "Crawling" had a decent amount of airplay, it was in no way huge.

Coheed and Cambria "Welcome Home"

I am not a HUGE C&C fan, so when this song came out, I kind of ignored it. The more and more I listened to it, though, the more I realized this is the kind of rock song that we are missing now-a-days, and is possibly my favorite song ever.

I'd say that's a good list of my favorite 5 songs of all time.

That was possibly the funniest movie I have seen in my entire life! Going in I was skeptical, just, well, because with so much build up, you just expect it to not be as good. This one was hilarious, my stomach is actually hurting from laughing so much.

I thought the McLovin character was, by far, the funniest, although credit also has to go to his on-screen partners (trying to avoid spoilers ).

I did notice, however, that the "McLovin? Sounds like a sexy cheeseburger" line from the previews didn't make the final cut, although I may have just been laughing so hard I missed it.

EDIT: Oh yeah, was there anything after the drawings in the ending credits with McLovin? None of my friends would stay until the end of the credits, and I didn't want to be sitting there alone in the theatre, cause everyone else left, too.

Yeah, watched it tonight. Fucking awesome movie. I loved the first two, and this one. I hope to God they make more, as it is one of those rare occasions where overkill is not present in sequels.

Also, fuck B-Rad.

Have to know, any spoilers in this thread thus far?

Just got back from seeing the Bourne Ultimatum...

Let me first say, I absolutely loved the first two Bourne movies, and had high expectations. Well, those expectations were met!! Possibly EXCEEDED!! Way better than Simpsons Movie Great action scenes, plus the way they were able to mix in stuff was done just as well, if not better, than the first two. Also loved that the ending from the second one was actually half way through this one. Loved the stuff with Nikki, too, and Pamela Landy's character development was awesome.

Just awesome all around, HOWEVER, I'm one of those annoying people who obsesses over the little things that most people don't think about. Like what happens to Nikki and Bourne/Webb after he survives at the end. Also, with what happened to the CIA agents, does Landy get a promotion??

Though, like the friends I went with, they said who gives a hoot, it was a good movie, and they are right. It was awesome, and the ending left me able to make my own conclusions.

ANYWAY, two thumbs up, anyone else see it/other Bourne movies and love 'em?
