Out Of The Prison And Over The Shark

First there was Prison Break Season One-Escape From Fox River
Next came Prison Break Season Two-Manhunt
This was followed by Prison Break Season Three-Escape From Sona
Now comes word that the fourth season might well go down in television history as Prison Break Season Four-Jumping The Shark

Yes, Sarah Wayne Callies, who was killed by way of decapitation in episode three of Season Three, her bloody head delivered to Lincoln Burrows in a box-oh, strike that, it turns out this WASNT REALLY HER HEAD AFTER ALL.

Yeah, Sarah is still alive. The MiSa fans have prevailed. The shows producers give some credit to the fans for the ultimate decision, but at the same time try to claim they had this in mind the whole time.

Yeeeeahh, right.

Let's see now, here's the latest story of Callies return to the show. Compare that to this article in which was explained the original decision to kill her off.

I would offer the MiSa nuts some grudging congratulations, but it's kind of hard to congratulate what might turn out to be success at ruining the best dramatic series on network television.

So, MiSa, what's next on the agenda? Maybe Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell should find God by way of Sister Mary Francis and change his evil ways and become a "good guy". Hey, what about that Gretchen? She's too pretty a woman to be so evil. Maybe she should find love and change her evil ways. Maybe her and Mahone would be good together. No, strike that, Mahone should get back with his wife and kid, if not you'll probably scream at the television.

Hey, by all means, don't stop with Prison Break. Why not exert your influence on other shows? Hey, maybe if Dexter Morgan would finally get some real therapy he would change and make a positive contribution to society instead of being a miserable vigilante serial killer.

But, whatever you decide to do next, you can at least congratulate yourselves on this victory-

Prison Break has now officially become Bones.

I haven't got into a show for a few years. People say battlestar galactica is good.
