Breaking: Major Prison Break Announcement (Spoilery)
This just in: You know that exclusive, jaw-dropping Prison Break story that I was planning to post tonight at around 11:15 ET? There's been a minor time change. It's now going up two hours earlier, at 9 pm/ET. You'll want to adjust your evening plans accordingly. Trust me.

One of the brothers die? If not that then I'm not sure what else could be a big shock. The cast has changed so much there really isn't even a regular status quo that could be upset.

Since the actress who plays Sarah Tancredi is not coming back, I'm pretty sure that was her head in the box. Can we say "Seven" ripoff?

^^ I really don't think they would get rid of her character that quickly..I haven't seen that scene yet being in Australia and all..but If it is Sarahs head, my guess its a good fake job and its just the bad guys way of stepping up the heat on Linc and Michael..but we'll see.

Matt--I hope you are right! They showed the head and said her name, so I dunno. It was a pretty good, graphic job on their part. but I don't think they would be as clumsy as to get rid of her so abruptly like that either. I guess we'll see what happened in 33 minutes!

As soon as Lincoln opened the box and they showed Gwyneth Paltrow's head there, I deleted the show from my DVR.
This is an ugly, misogynistic show where the only major likable female characters (Veronica, Sara) get killed off and the rest of the major female characters (the former President, Susan B. Anthony) are irredeemably corrupt.
What we've got here is a show that is clearly in love with what's known in comics as "Women in Refrigerators Syndrome" (after an issue of Green Lantern in which the title character's girlfriend was murdered and stashed there). (see URL: http://www.unheardtaunts.com/wir )
Before someone points out that C-Note's wife and Sucre's Maricruz are likable characters (and I don't disagree with that assertion), they aren't point of view characters as both Veronica and Sara were and the President and Susan B. Anthony have already been, and their parts are/were too small besides. And if we're going to go into the smaller roles, we've got LJ's mother, who was killed off and Michael's Russian "wife," who turned on them at the last minute. Consequently even in the minor female roles, the show is depicting women in no other terms than The Virgin/Whore Dichotomy.
If it weren't for the actors clearly trying their best to give the show a dignity it doesn't deserve, I'd be thinking, "God, to think I wasted two years on this disgusting show."
As far as I'm concerned, the show ended last season. Hope they can get Callies back to do a special separately-sold alternate version of the season 2 finale where Mahone, T-Bag and Bellick are killed off and Michael, Sara, Linc and LJ sail off into the sunset 'cause there's certainly no point in either watching the show further, much less buying season 3 on DVD next summer.

Wish I could say that I had changed the channel to something else, but I can't type and watch TV at the same time, so came back to my computer to rant and then came back for Heroes (I'm typing this during the 1st commercial.)
Saw Chuck at Comic-Con, not my cuppa (Reaper does the same thing better, IMO. YMMV.) Next week, I'll be watching Olbermann live rather than during its late-night airing.

Sorry...wrong location, to sum up the post I wrote.
Bottom line: Stupid stupid call by the producers to kill her off. Spiteful choice by the actress to end it poorly.

I hadn't read this until I had seen the show tonight so I was in shock when I pulled this up just to see what everyone was saying. Hoping to see if it was possible that it wasn't her head. So there was a contract dispute. So the viewers again are cheated of good story lines. Do they ever worry about the viewers who are devoted to the characters and their lives that we are drawn into week after week? Do they think we will continue to watch week after week when we continue to be unhappy with 'story lines' that we just don't find real? I'm not sure I'll make it through this season. So far this prison and the events inside just aren't within reason let alone the things they want us to accept. AND NOW THEY PUT OUR SARA'S HEAD IN A BOX!!! Is there an address I can send a sympathy card to the producers of this show. It's dying.
