Seconded. Very surprising to me. Good episode overall, nicely setting up the tone of this season. Should be a fun ride.

There was nothing about that wasn't completely ridiculous.
It was really a let down from the promise of last season.
I like how the FBI agent seems to have the ability to teleport btw...

I disagree. I lost interest halfway through last season. Replacing that dipshit evil agent guy with the new FBI agent from Invasion makes a huge difference. I'll be watching this show, as long as Mondays don't get too crowded.
I thought it was a good episode, but then there wasn't much I disliked about last season so take that for what it's worth.
The "holy shit" moment was pretty shocking at first, but when you think about it she should've known better then to make that sort of call out of the house like that, particularly when she's trying to pin it on the Pres. Then again if the call was intercepted I guess she could've called about Winnie the Pooh and she was gonna get wasted.

Oh, come on. The FBI guy is close to Michael's level. The show would get awfully boring if it were nothing but Michael outsmarting the authorities like he can so easily.
Fox wins with Prison Break and House.

Bah, John Billingsly played Terrance last season (They apparently recast him) I have no clue who this new guy playing him is, IMDB says nothing.

Just out of curiosity, what was the Season Ending that they ignored? Did it involve Captain Dipshit?

I agree. I think he's a good actor and I believe he'll prove an interesting foil to Fish. Plus, I'm really looking forward to the eight all racing to Utah while trying to avoid the FBI.masterofbathhouseterror said:

You're kidding right? That was only halfway through the season, when it went on a couple month hiatus.Saoh said:
I hate how the FBI agent figures out their whole plan in a few hours. I like the idea of his character being smart and equal to Michael, but cmon there are another 21 episodes left still.
:lol sounds like you missed the second half of the season. That was episode 12 I believe, the show took a few weeks/months off and then came back around March so they could do Prison Break and 24 back to back.

:lol fox hates spanish-speakersSaoh said:what? i kidd not, really. FOX Latin America ended last season like that, with the pipe thing.
they're premiering (sp?) a "new" season in 10mins.
:O OH NO THEY DID-NT!
new show might get more interesting as the season goes on. as it is, it had 2 pretty hot chicks and one hot hot chick that was almost all naked.
Fox has gotten really good at having completely naked women rolling around in the sack and not showing a damn thing.

Which means it's gonna get quite a bit better.
Here's the problem:
Show ends at night. They are being pursued HEAVILY. Then, show starts in broad daylight. They had to run for at least a few hours...yet they got nowhere. Michael still had all the calculations planned out perfectly in his head. The Owengo setup (I can't remember the name)...lol. How did he know (when he was running) they'd be even close?
Did he bank on finding that car with the guy and his daughter?
The show has been great because of how crazy it is...and yet this hint of plausibility still lingers in your mind.
This episode was not plausible. Michael had to plan for a while...think everything out. FBI agent man pops a ritalin and is a genius. What made the show good was that it was such a daring, impossible feat seemingly made possible...but now that everything is just absurd, theres no sense of awe at their accomplishments anymore.
They need to get back on track. The previews for next week looked even MORE ridiculous.

They don't need to bash us over the head with the hamhanded displays of the guys intelligence though. I think they rushed it a bit and could have been more subtle like they did with Michael, although I do agree the guys a great actor.
The show does need a worthy challenge for him.
However, from the look in Michael's eyes at the cemetary, it looks like he's already figured out that the tattoo has been comprimised. Which is good, because I liked it's use as a map, but the explicit street names and tombstone were something he should have been able to remember right off.

BUT, what if the agent catches on that Michael may use the compromised tattoo to his advantage and thus acts appropriately, only to be further foiled by Michael who calculated that would happen?

The agent beter try and play 3 steps in advance I guess.
I agree he was to quick with the realizations, I think the street names part was fine, well most of the tatoo it's self was fine, but him KNOWING Michael threw the HD off the balcony, give me a break.
Holy shit at
Veronica's death, Jeez I thought Sara might not survive or something, but damn Veronica, she wasnt my fav cherecter, but still
Why the hell did they replace Phlox Steadmen with guy-who-Sawyer-killed-on-Lost Steadmen? Also does this mean that that asshole secret service agent is just off the show? At least let Linclon, or even LG kill him or something.

John Billingsly is in another show called The Nine which is probably why he's been recasted here. As for the opening, it looked like it was early morning so it's feasible that given how late it was, it was within an hour time frame that they had been running so we missed the sun rise and that was all.

Yea Im kinda worried the show will be littered with that element from 24.
Overall very exciting episode, but it felt a little rushed.

Missed the first 20 minutes or so...but it was pretty good. Saw the ending coming though. :/
The FBI guy does seem a bit crazy, but it provides a nice foil to Michael's genius. But I really thought he was in NYC at one point, and then he was in Oswego the next minute. Did I miss something?
