I'd like to take a moment, if I could, to appreciate Paul Adelstein. He's the hardworking actor who plays the cheerfully manipulative, pie-loving, Extremely Secret Service Agent Paul Kellerman on Prison Break. Kellerman is, of course, a bad guy, and he's done some evil, evil things, including murdering his partner, leaving a man to die in a well, and torturing a woman he used to be friends with and leaving her to drown in the bathtub. But you don't love to hate him, the way you do with T-Bag, the hardcore criminal. You hate to love him. Or, more accurately, love to love him, because he's a charming bastard, and there's nothing that's not funny about him squeaking, "Mmm, that's good pie." (Adelstein was also on Scrubs, which, of course, earns him major points.)
At this point, Kellerman is my favorite thing about Prison Break. He's got a good storyline and he's rocking it. I even feel bad for the poor guy, getting an iron to the chest and then getting dumped by the vast conspiracy. But he'll get over it; he's young and evil, and he can probably take on the entire conspiracy himself. In fact, I hope he does. Go Kellerman!
Incidentally, Paul Adelstein was considered for the role of Burke on Grey's Anatomy. And how different things would have been if they had taken him on. (For one thing: probably no choking.)

Prison Break: The best reason to watch old movies
Oh, Tweener, that poor dumb kid. You know, I can't help but think that if he had ever seen The Great Escape, he might still be alive. Because then he would know that when you're being taken back to prison after having broken out, you don't get out of the damn car when they stop it.

Prison Break: I Get It
No, seriously. I get it. I GET IT. Stop flashing back and forth between a picture of Michael Scofield and a picture of the guy that the FBI agent was trailing before. Definitely stop doing it fast enough to damn near give me a seizure. There are parallels between the two men. I understand that. I understood it before this week's episode. Leave the Mallets of Exposition at home and let's focus on the action.
