Coke Withdrawals

A couple of days ago my mother had a panic attack, thanks to a friend speculating that I had diabetes. Seems he noticed that I went to the li’l boys room a bit too often, but never factored in the fact that I drink copious amounts of water (over 3L a day) and the inordinate amount of Vitamin C I intake. As a result, I am on a coke diet — despite having normal blood sugar levels. Better safe than sorry, they say. But darnit, I miss my coke fix.

Another funny thing — it’s been noted by more than a couple of people, so I guess I’d better put it to rest — I am not on hiatus. Although I’d have to admit, it’d be very Jorge, quitting after winning. But no, to clarify, I meant to blog this Holy Week, but Prison Break got in the way. I still can’t believe it lasted two seasons, much less starting on it’s third this fall. Halfway through the first season I was like, come on! Get it over with! I mean, seriously, the amount of crap the inmates have gone through is insane, to the point of inanity. Season 3’s tagline may very well be Prison Break: Murphy’s Law. That said, it’s addictive! Some things:

  1. Agent Paul Kellerman reminds me of Dan Akroyd. I’m glad he had a more three-dimensional character in season 2.
  2. I hate Bill Kim. What is it with Asian-American villains portrayed as being so devoid of conscience? Agent Sandoval in Earth: Final Conflict comes to mind.
  3. Allan had a good laugh, noting that the internal affairs guy chasing after Mahone looks a lot like Kevin Pollack.
  4. Mahone looks a lot like Clint Eastwood. And we were half expecting him to run along the presidential limo ala In the Line of Fire.
  5. I’m glad C-Note got a happy ending. I do NOT want to see him in season 3, because that’d mean things went wrong. Again.
  6. Speaking of C-Note, I’m still convinced he’s LL Cool J.
  7. T-Bag is the kind of creepy lowlife that I can’t help but root for.
  8. The Les Miserables scene with Sucre and the old man is awesome.
  9. Thatcher Grey.
  10. For some reason, we keep expecting a train or a bus to crash into whatever car Michael or Lincoln are in at the moment whenever there’s a lull in the action, or they’re feeling pretty good about themselves. Yes, their karma is that screwed up.
  11. Does Bellick have any redeeming qualities at all?
  12. I think Henry Pope would make a kick ass Jim Gordon if ever Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is translated to the big screen.
  13. Speaking of Batman, Michael Scofield would make for one kick ass Dark Knight. Always three steps ahead? Check. Swagger? Check. The unwavering belief that he will always win? Check. Just add some martial arts expertise and a Bat Suit (without the Bat Nipples) and you’re good to go.
  14. On that note, T-Bag would be perfect as Joker. Did you see how he looked at Suzie when she refected him again? Classic.
  15. I just realized Lincoln Burrows played Dracula in Blade Trinity. Ugh.
  16. Sara Tancredi is the hawtness. But maybe that’s because, after that girl Tweener did the horizontal tango with for an episode or two, she’s the only pretty girl in the whole series. Still, she bears an uncanny resemblance to Natalie Portman on certain angles.
  17. There had better be no season 4.

I have friends who are so into addicted to Prison Break. Sa loob-loob ko, hindi pa rin ba nahuhuli ulit yung dalawa? Tsaka nakatakas na’t lahat, “Prison Break” pa rin yung title. Yeah, it just. wouldn’t. end. Much like Maging Sino Ka Man. I think they just like looking at Wentworth Miller. Story-wise, you’re better off with 24. Oh well, to each his/her own I guess. :)

Well, I just saw the season ender, and Michael Scofield’s back in the slammer. Prison break indeed. It. Never. Ends!

I used to watch Prison Break. Suddenly it got too mainstream for me, lol. Maybe that’s why I’m whoring on Heroes as early as now. ;)

LOL @ #15, and agree with #16. :D Hey, I love Natalie Portman. :p

According to the show’s creators, it will be a stretch getting the material to reach a fourth season. But with its commercial success, I don’t think it’s really that impossible now.
