Dana, I stayed up late obsessively watching the news for you. I hope you ended up getting a little bit of rest and that you can get in touch with your parents soon.
Mal: Hell, this job I would pull for free. Zoe: Can I have your share? Mal: No. Zoe: If you die, can I have your share? Mal: Yes.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If you should happen to read a news story of someone beating a coworker to death, shouting "INDOOR VOICE! INDOOR VOICE!", that would be me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Tom, you cannot beat anyone to death until AFTER your date.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
PB:
Most problems can be handwaved by remembering that this is the criminal justice and/or penal system, and the idea that people always check records is kind of ludicrous. I mean, let's assume he had his medical records doctored. We're already required to accept that his brother is going to be executed in Illinois, and that Sucre's (nice name, eh?) girlfriend visits him from NY on a weekly basis even if she can't afford bus fare.
What really bothers me is that Miller is so inscrutable. I don't like being forced to assume that he always knows what's going to happen to him-- even if circumstances later prove that he was surprised by something-- because he can't actually act fucking surprised.
And, Nutty, the show actually does mention that the brother only mixes with the population on two occasions. Scofield has to do some maneuvering to be around him more frequently.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of prison TV, I'll just mention that a ballpoint pen can make a decent shank. FYI.

Miller pretty.
The above sums up my reason for giving the show a shot. Unless he undergoes extreme plastic surgery, I probably won't be too disappointed. That said, he did a good job with his role on JoA, last season.
