Prison Break Recap: “Bolshoi Booze”

Title: “Bloshoi Booze”
Original Air Date: 10/13/2006
When we last saw our favorite convicts, T-Bag was about to get re-captured by the cops, Sara was facing Kellerman’s gun, and we found out that there’s a mole in Linc’s dad’s gang of anti-government Robin Hoods. How will everyone wiggle out of these situations? (you have no doubt that they WILL escape, so the question is just HOW…)

THE COPS ARE CLOSING IN ON T-BAG! He’s cuffed to the radiator, his gross hand just begging to be ripped off and left behind. The cops bust through the door…and T-Bag is gone. Where is he? Well, you know that weird smell coming from your radiator when you first turn on the heat in the fall? Next time, better double check it, because you might just find…T-Bag’s rotting hand resting between the radiator and the wall. Yup, he managed to disconnect his hand from his body to save himself from going back to prison. Can’t say I blame him. In fact, I kind of admire him – in fact, I admire both T-Bag and that mountain climber who cut off his own limb to get out of the rock canyon alive. I’m pretty sure I would not be willing (or able) to amputate a body part to save myself.

Michael is in a hardware store buying a case of fishing reel oil in small vials, along with a GPS system. When he realizes he can’t pay for everything with the amount of cash he has, he decides to just buy the oil…and then steals the GPS system. When the store owner tries to stop him, Michael pushes him down and as the man begs for Michael not to hurt him, he runs from the store. Just when I’m thinking that our Fox River Golden Boy is turning bad, Michael has a crisis of conscience and begins thinking of all the people who have been wronged as the result of his escape plan…Sara, the people in the bank he “robbed,” his mail-order bride, Warden Pope. It’s all getting to be too much for him. He sees a church across the street and decides to take refuge and confess his sins.

“Grey’s Anatomy’s” Ellen Pompeo Engaged

In the end it wasn’t McDreamy, McSteamy, or McVet that captured the heart of Meredith Grey, but Ellen Pompeo’s real life beau, record producer Chris Ivery.

Ivery proposed this past Friday (which was also Ellen’s 37th birthday) and presented his lady with a 3.5-carat emerald cut diamond. Not too shabby. The couple have yet to set a wedding date. Give ‘em time…it’s only been 4 days.

Did you know that these two kids is that they grew up minutes away from one another, but didn’t meet until they both descended upon LA years later? Yup, for you Bostonians, Ellen grew up in Everett, MA (one town over from where yours truly grew up) and Chris descended from Revere, MA - right next door to Everett (you might have heard of Revere - Kelly’s Roast Beef, Iroc’s with purple lights cruising up and down the strip). You gotta love that whole ‘fate’ thing.

Best of luck to the couple. And for the sake of Mr. Ivery, here’s to hoping that Ellen is not nearly as annoying as Meredith!

Prison Break Teasers

This post contains some minor spoilers for tonight’s Prison Break. Read at your own risk.

If you like your escaped convicts vulnerable, sappy and sweaty to the point that YOU need some cooling off then tonight’s Prison Break is definitely worth checking out (8/7c on FOX). Here’s a little teaser as to what goes down with the Fox River boys and their friends in tonight’s episode “Bolshoi Booze”.

The gravity of Michael’s wrong doings catch up to him and like many before him, he finds solace in a church confessional (insert way too easy Catholic priest joke here). Wenty shows he more than just a pretty handsome gorgeous awe inspiring face and pulls out some serious acting tonight. Tears and all. Actually,come to think of it, Wentworth has been doing a lot of boo hoo’ing as of late. It’s ok, it just shows he’s sensitive.

Lincoln and LJ make some serious decisions about their future together on the run after learning who is behind the plot to frame Lincoln.

Sarah really doesn’t have much to say about her future. She’s too busy just trying to stay alive from the torture inflicted at the hands of Kellerman.

Meanwhile, Mahone is getting himself deeper and deeper into this big C-O-N-spiracy with the President and her hoodlums (aka SD-6). Ever see a caged rat? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s what Mahone is feeling like these days.

And what’s going on with T-Bag? When we last saw him he was handcuffed to the radiator with the cops just outside the door. Well, if you really want to know what happened, then just take a look at the little present I received along with this week’s screener of Prison Break. Yeah, it’s not pretty.

Funny story actually - I got the screener in the mail right before I went to the airport on Friday. I didn’t open it, but rather threw it in my carry on and went on my merry way. Let’s just say that the airport security guys were justified in wanting me to open the package to inspect the contents. We all got a bit of a laugh from it. And to Brian and Sean who were sitting next to me on the plane…sorry for spoiling this week’s episode, but hey, you were the ones looking at my laptop.

Here’s a few visual aids to get your psyched for tonight’s episode:

Thanks to my buddy Jared at JustJared.com for the pics. He’s got even more pics from tonight’s episode, so make sure you head over there to check them out.

It’s a Big Day…

I’m catching up on weekend TV, and I wanted to let you all know that I just laughed out loud at an SNL sketch!!! That hasn’t happened in years, and I thought it was important that I pass it along.

Alec Baldwin used to annoy the hell out of me, but he was pretty good as this week’s host. So who would you like to see host SNL this season?

Here’s a few people I wouldn’t mind seeing taking a shot at their FIRST SNL hosting gig.

Battlestar Galactica: “A Measure of Salvation”

Title: “A Measure of Salvation”
Original Air Date: 10/10/06

Previously, Baltar reaches a new level of weasel by helping the Cylons look for Earth. The Cylons regret not taking their flu shots. Baltar accidentally on purpose doesn’t tell his new friends about the infected space trash. The humans find the lion’s head too.

Lion’s head. Apollo leads a team of raptors to check out the infected baseship. The marines make their way to the command center and find the dying Cylons all over the floor. Ignoring all signs of seriously bad mojo, Sharon decides to stick her hand in the dirty goo to talk to the computer. She tells them the computer is corrupted. Suddenly, a few of the Cylons start moving again. They form a weird circle on the floor. A sick Sharon calls Athena Sharon a traitor and then tells her about the infected beacon. Apollo and the others panic because now they’ve been exposed too.

41,420. Galactica. Doc Cottle tells Adama that they’ll have to quarantine the exposed marines. Doc wants a source of the disease so he can study it. Adama won’t let him bring the beacon on board, but they settle for some infected prisoners.

Baseship. Baltar is greeted by Xena Three and Caprica Six. They don’t take lying well. They grill him with questions about his motives. They believe he sent them there on purpose to kill them, like a mission from Galactica. Is it just me or does everyone put a little too much faith in Baltar’s abilities? He rambles off an apology. They call in Centurions anyways. In his imaginary world, FigmentSix joins him on the beach. Except this time, Baltar’s in pain. She tells him to separate his mind from his body. In reality, Xena Three is shocking him with electricity to get him to talk. Caprica Six watches and then walks away. Baltar says he loves her, but for the first time Caprica Six doesn’t take his word at face value.
