I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES I'LL MAKE FUN OF THE SHOW'S TITLE BEFORE I GET BORED: This week's Prison Break felt a little bit more like the Prison Break that was actually set in a prison -- hey! what's that part of Michael's tattoo mean? hey! there's Bellick! hey! there's Dr. Tancredi! hey! there's that sneaky government guy! -- even though the sight of Wentworth Miller in street clothes remains jarring (though not unpleasant, as there ain't nothing wrong with a Princeton man in a nice suit).

But here's what's bugging me. Last week, I commented that having both the fakeout and the real event take place in Oswego created an unnecessary nailbiter. Why couldn't Michael stage the fake supply stop in Oswego and the real dig-and-grab in, say, not Oswego? And this week, letting the feds get within two minutes of Linc and Michael through the staged tracing of a cell phone -- really, like five or ten extra minutes would've killed ya?

That being said, I like the notion that each episode will focus on Linc/Michael plus one or two other members of the Fox River 8. Sucre's plot is thus far deeply predictable, but C-Note's story last night was well done.

How are you liking PB: Already Broken thus far?
