It's back. :yay: :happy30: :: fantom :thumb: :dancecalv :1010: :clap2: :thumbsup:

Monday March 20, 2006 on FOX

Michael and the other prisoners return to their cells without being detected. At the same time, Veronica and Nick request a judge to postpone Lincoln's execution. A C.O. becomes suspicious about a broken tube. Sara requests her Dad (the Governor) to review Lincoln's case. Michael tries to put a stay in the execution by fiddling with the chair's wirings.

Killer show, lousy ending.

I mean we know he can't die. They wouldn't have a show. So why not just show us how he beats the chair.

It was a little anti-climactic. It needed some kind of WTF moment for the ending"”like 24, lol.

I have to admit that I kept hoping that something would happen to stop Lincoln from even going to the chair, but everytime their plans got foiled I wanted to throw something at the TV. The part where he was saying Good-bye to his son made me cry. 🙁

On the other hand, I have a burning desire to eviscerate a certain prison guard and snitch...😀

The previews for the next episode make it seem like Lincoln is actually gonna be executed. Do we know for sure either way yet?

 

[nerd4hire]

You know, my first reaction to that question is he can't die, because if he does they won't have a show.

Then again, who knows...maybe. They'd have to take it down a completely different direction, and lose a big chunk of the cast though. I really don't think he can die though, because why build up that whole Madame Vice President story, if you don't need it after Lincoln dies.

Well in the preview

Spoiler

they show the body being exhumed,

so I assume that's how they stop the execution.

When Lincoln and Michael were saying goodbye I was oh so teary...

The diaper scene was pretty funny though lol

 

[nerd4hire]

So, OK, I guess they could go something like, Michael becomes enraged with his brother's death, and vows to break out, discover the truth, and bring the guilty party to justice route.

Spoiler

They were exhuming a body? I thought they were burying Lincoln.

Wow, shows you how observant I am. That's why I freaked out.

I'm with you B. The part where Lincoln was saying goodbye to Michael and Veronica were really sad. But, the saddest part was when he was on the phone with LJ saying goodbye. I just started balling.

The diaper scene was hilarious. And the scene where Linc and Michael are playing cards, and Michael is letting Linc win...that was pretty funny as well.

But, they could go N4H's way...even though I would probably destroy my tv set if they did...but I didn't think that they would kill off Wash on Serenity and look what happened...

 

[Buffy Summers]

That's what I thought was going on. I could of course be wrong.
