Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…
A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles. I wanna play!
Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places. 2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.
A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…
An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies. I smell a lawsuit.

Isn’t Prison Break Over Yet?

April 06, 2007, 2:40 am

Fox just can’t do anything right. They cancel really awesome shows after barely 13 episodes, but refuse to cancel equally excellent shows that should have ended after the first season. Prison Break isn’t meant to go on forever and ever, so why must they drag it on? I can excuse them for continuing after the first season, but can’t they just finish off the story after the second season, and have everyone sail off into the sunset, happily ever after??

Spoiler Warning!

Stop reading if you haven’t seen the finale yet, cause I’m gonna rant.

The entire second half of the season finale made no sense. How does everyone get to Panama so quickly? How does Sarah *just happen* to be there with a boat? Or that Kim guy can find them so easily? They are on a boat, why did they run away? Why not just plea self defense or something?

But no, the show must go on. It’s about a prison break right? So why not just stick them back into jail!

The whole intrigue of the original plot was how meticulously the escape was planned out, and whether or not Michael can pull it off. It’s not the same as just sticking him into a random prison and hope he can fight it out.

And what’s with the occasional-mute bald guy wandering about the lab talking about Sona? I gave up on Lost back in the first season, but I have the impression that these “mysteries” don’t work.

Equally sadly, I think I’ll still tune in next season, as I’m not fed up with it yet. It took Smallville about five seasons for me to give it up.
