I want my Monday nights back!

So tonight, Prison Break started up again...

I got hooked on it in the fall, and while I will admit that I was royally pissed that it went on such a ridiculously long hiatus (what was it, like 4 or 5 months??) I was sucked back in...and fast!

While yes, the cliffhangers are contrived (and annoying!), the acting is mostly dubious, the "outside the prison" storyline is garbled, and the female lawyer should have been cuter, I think I actually managed to figure out what I like about it so much!

And no, it's not a secret crush I have on Wentworth Miller (tho I have to admit, the fact that he plays an engineer is kinda cool...), but it does have to do with his charachter. Michael Scofield displays the kind of incredible (if reckless) loyalty to his brother that I can't help but admire. Now, while I'm an only child, I do think that I can appreciate where Michael is coming from. If you haven't seen the show, I'm not going to get into it here, but suffice it to say, he leaves little doubt as to how deeply he cares for his brother...

Everyone pays lip service to loyalty to friends and family, and while I hope and pray I'll never have a loved one in a comparable situation as Michael Scofield found his brother, Lincoln...I'd like to think that I could find it in myself to go to such lengths for them.

(pardon me while I wax poetic for a moment)

You rarely get a chance in this life to truly show someone what they mean to you...if such a situation presents itself, I strongly suggest you take advantage...

(now back to your regularly scheduled frivolous ramblings)
