My hissy fit is over...
Gonna dig me a hole…
Gonna dig me a hole…
Gonna put a nerd in it…
(Sorry, having a flashback to The Simpsons).
I’ve had my hissy fit over The Beheading of Sarah, glad that’s out of my system. Now I can concentrate on other matters.
I’m excited about the digging of the hole. Finally it feels like they’re really breaking out.
Alex is making a return to the nutty behaviour we remember from Series 2. Nearly stabbing Michael in the head was a nice reminder of exactly the sort of guy we’re dealing with here (he has earned my sympathy, but let’s not forget the many, many murders of Mahone).
The big question is, if Sarah is really dead, can Michael ever forgive Lincoln for not telling him?
And (on a lighter note) how long before the Jamaican King-Pin of Sona cottons-on to Michael’s escape plans? Surely he is going to become a member of the posse, too? I can’t figure out why he would be adverse to the idea of someone staging a successful prison break, as long as he is on board.
Great to see Sucre back on the scene as the Prison’s new grave digger. Now if only Lincoln could learn Spanish and go for a job as a Guard in the Watch Tower…

Prison Break: Season 3, Episode 4
The Beheading of Sarah
This episode was downright amateur. I’m so disappointed. Prison Break was my favourite show up until now, the beheading of Sarah just sux.
It’s not that she’s dead that bothers me, it is the pathetic manner in which it was done.
Shouldn’t there have been a scene where the Evil Black Haired Lady walks into the room and engages Sarah in some smart-ass conversation before she kills her? Shouldn’t we have at least seen the look of terror on Sarah’s face? Some kind of struggle?
To see NOTHING of Sarah for 3 episodes is just so far removed from the formula we know and love on Prison Break. There have been lots of characters murdered over the course of the series and we were shown the bloody confrontation every time: LJ’s mother, Nick, Veronica, John Abbruzi, David/Tweener, Schofield’s father, the list goes on…
So far this season we’ve seen the back of Sarah’s head, a blurry photograph, a voice on the phone (which didn’t even sound like her) – not the blow-by-blow account of her life we’ve come to expect. I suspected that the actress had left the show and a friend of mine confirmed it yesterday. Apparently she has gone to spend more time with her family, which I totally respect, but surely the producers of Prison Break could’ve signed her up for one or two more episodes to wrap things up nicely.
After the brothers, Sarah is the most important character on the show. I should’ve been in tears over her dying, instead I sat there and asked “What the hell?”. At least 4 people I’ve spoken to felt the same – not sadness, but utter confusion. “Is she really dead? Is this what’s happening now?”
Well, I’m very close to boycotting the show. However, Alex Mahone was extremely hot this week so I think I’ll hang in there. Plus we’ve got an Aussie hottie to watch now as well, who *conveniently* brings with him a romantic subplot to replace the one that just died a pathetic death.
