It's just the premise that gets me. Your brother conveniently designs the prison he subsequently is sent to so in order to "clear" him, you comit a crime and get thrown in the same prison to break him out??? It just seems so far out for a non-fantasy based show. Yeah, I know vampires, etc but I dunno if I can suspend my belief for this (do they at least tell you how the brother gets sent to the exact same prison? Wouldn't the corrections board not want them in the same facility?)
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IIRC, they do cover that at sentencing. Something about the level of security required.

Okay, since these are spoilers...
IIRC, he wasn't the engineer on record. His firm had the contract. I don't remember if he worked on the project or just copied the plans and tattooed them on his body. As for the prison issue, he pled guilty and didn't ask for any considerations, other than a request to be placed at a prison close to home, which the judge granted.

since you've seen those two, ita, have you also seen the pilot for Kitchen Confidential?

Maybe I don't recall correctly. Whatever. He's HAWT.

Yerp! NB wasn't in it much. I liked it, and was disappointed to realise it was only half an hour. BC is working the charisma. Bad boy lite.
Which reminds me -- he's in The Wedding Crashers, too, which I totally wasn't expecting.

And we'll be seeing a lot of him without a shirt.

How clever is that plotting? Bloody brilliant, I say.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah. Those previews don't look half bad when it's all smoldering muscles and shaved head. Also, prison, and I hear there's some HoYay in prison.

OK so given the whitefont, I may cut Prison Break a little slack but still!!! The Inside was all creepy and compelling and good, and this? OY! I have to say that the small clip I saw of Bones looked... sad? lame? boring? I've read some of the books and enjoyed them but no, I probably won't be watching even though DB's in it. Didn't see enough of Nick in the Kitchen Confidential clip but it looked like standard sitcom fare.
