For you irregular readers, on last week’s blog, I wrote: So that leads us to the box – what’s in it? It’s a perfect size for a head, bringing the final scene of “Se7en” to mind, and the fact that the bad guys have two hostages makes one of them expendable, but a decapitated head of a main (and good) character seems to be a little much for “Prison Break.” Well, so much for that theory. Apparently, Sara’s dead, and according to some reports around the web, FOX forced Sarah Wayne Callies out. I really thought that the Michael/Sara love story would be the constant, driving force throughout the series run, but I guess that’s not the case. It’s a shame, because there was something really sweet about it, and it offset some of the more grisly parts of the series. Anyway, R.I.P. Dr. Tancredi. You’ll be missed. (One thing’s for sure: the Company better watch out when Michael gets the news. Then the shit is really going to hit the fan.) Was anyone surprised when Sucre showed up as the new gravedigger? C’mon, really? You didn’t think his move-to-Columbia-and-pick-coffee-beans plan was really going to happen, did you? I don’t know how strong the Columbian Peso is against the US Dollar, but I doubt that would make much of a dent in Maricruz’ bills. Then again, the dollar is pretty weak right now. Two weeks ago, Michael played MacGyver by fixing the water flow in the prison and this week he used his engineering skill to sabotage the power so that he could gain access to the power lines running alongside the exterior walls. I’m not sure where all of this is headed, but it’s clear by the final shot that he intends to go through the fence after Sucre weakens it. In other news, Whistler and his girl have decided to check up on the brothers, Mahone is receiving visits from Haywire, Bellick gets burned after trying to rat out Michael and T-Bag has decided to promote himself within Luchero’s organization. The chess pieces are moving around. How long will it take before they’re all in place?

I’m really surprised they offed Sarah, and like you, a little disapointed. Obviously the writers on the show wanted to keep things fresh by introducing new female characters, but one of the best dynamics of the show was the relationship between Michael and Sarah.
Oh well. I’d be interested to hear why FOX forced her off the show…
Bellick is getting his ass handed to him at every turn!
A buddy of mine pointed out that Sarah’s name was missing from the credits a couple of weeks ago. Then last weeks episode they made a point of NOT showing her face, only back of her head shots and her voice. I started to piece together the puzzle and made the same conclusion, SE7EN, Sarah’s head in a box. I too am dissappointed in this approach, haven’t taken the time to get details on why, contract/money/other… Yeah Sucre was too easy to call on the new grave digger.
In a French interview, she said she was surprised by Fox’s decision and felt a little betrayed. Her IMDB page said that she wasn’t going to be on the show at the start of the season so that she could have a baby, but that she would be back later on in the season.
Things couldn’t have ended too well. Having your character’s head chopped off is a pretty rough way to go.
