Just got off a spoiler website, and let's just say that by the end of Episode 13 (11/27/06), things will look very different. That's the last show of the front half of the season (before it goes on hiatus for a few months).
There's one plotline that will leave us hanging as hard as the fixed drain pipe did for the cliffhanger in the middle of the first season.
Keep reading for a look at the direction the show will take as of Episode 13 ("The Killing Box")...
Prison Break executive producer/creator Paul Scheuring is making plans for the third season already. What we know: the current storyline will end at the end of this season. Also, the next season will only focus on one or two of the characters, so it's expected that there will be a number of deaths this season as characters are written out of the show.
Okay, the direction of the show (probably classified as "teasers" since they don't spoil anything) as of Episode 13 is:
"Two escapees are recaptured and sent back towards Fox River. One man gets new living arrangements. Sara must make alterations to stay alive. One escapee commits a crime."
Now for more details about the teaser. This one is a definite spoiler, so page down a little to get to the "good stuff". And, as always, this is the end of the post, so if you really don't want spoilers, you aren't going to miss anything by not scrolling down:
"Two escapees are recaptured and sent back": Lincoln and Schofield get recaptured. They do not actually wind up back in prison.
"One man gets new living situations": Bellick ends up in Fox River with a 25 year sentence. My speculation based on bits and pieces I've gathered: he gets blamed for killing Geary (a homicide I imagine T-Bag actually committed). It's a stretch as I don't know that Geary dies or anything-- just speculation I want to post before the truth comes out.
Sara's alterations: I'm guessing an extreme makeover since she's on the run, too (from Kellerman's goons).
"One escapee commits a crime": Could be anyone. T-Bag seems the most reasonable.

Premieres and notables 10/30- 11/05
Monday, 10/30
Remember, as I posted a few days ago: "The Slutty Pumpkin" epsiode of How I Met Your Mother airs tonight.
Schofield goes on the offensive tonight on Prison Break.
Friday Night Lights airs in Studio 60's spot tonight. The episode is supposed to reair tomorrow in its normal timeslot.
Tuesday, 10/31
House returns in it's normal 8 pm CST timeslot.
Standoff returns to a new timeslot (7pm). No need to remember the change; I'm sure it still sucks.
Wednesday, 11/1
Rich List, FOX. 8 pm. Series Premiere
Get ready for the gameshow glut...
Thursday, 11/2
Fat Friends; BBC America. 9 pm. Series Premiere
A British drama about the ups anddowns of the members of a dieting club. (I wonder if it'll be funier than FX's horrible "comedy" Starved.)
And showing that anyone can get a reality show:
Rob & Big; MTV. 9:30 pm. Series Premiere.
Skateboarder Rob Drydek and his bodyguard share a house. I have an in-law connection to the show, so I have to check it out. I'll let you know what I think.
'Til Death and Happy Hour return from the baseball hiatus. Catch 'em while you can. I doubt they are long for this world. (Because they suck; not because viewers "just don't get it").
Roseanne Barr guests on My Name Is Earl as a woman who once believed Earl was God. Seeing as how the celeb guests on this show have absolutely ruled so far, I expect Rosie to do the same.
Friday, 11/3
Chevy Chase does his guest-starring role on Law & Order as a celeb who gives a Mel Gibson-styled rant after he's arrested.
Outkast's Andre 3000 cocreation Class of 3000 begins on the Cartoon Network at 7 pm.
Two new History Channel shows premiere as well: The Lost Evidence (famous campaigns through combat footage, 8 pm) and Dog Fights (famous air-to-air battles via compter graphics, 9 pm).
Sunday, 11/5
FOX Sunday returns with The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror 17. American Dad, Family Guy, and (shudder) The War at Home also return with new eps.
And someone's supposed to bite it on Desperate Housewives in the storyline that begins tonight. Everything's pointing to Lynette, so it probably won't go that way (also Felicity Huffman should be begging to be off that show since they don't know what to do with the character). Also, the previews look like Susan's daughter (Julie?) could be the one, but that's pretty hardcore. May I recommend the psycho ex of Lynette's husband?

Quick notables coming soon
I'll be posting the premieres and notables soon, but I wanted to make sure I posted ones on the tip of my brain as they come soon.
Sunday, 10/29:
BBC America is running a Hex marathon. All nine episodes of the first (only?) season from 10 am CST to 8 pm. I only saw the pilot (have the others in my "to watch" tape pile), but the commercials had a big Buffy vibe. It was promoted heavily during its run this past summer. May be worth checking out.
Monday, 10/30
CBS is repeating the "Slutty Pumpkin" episode of How I Met Your Mother. This was the episode that sold me on the show. It was very well-written, and the show pulled me in every direction it wanted me to go (will he or won't he find her?). And check out Barney's tactic to hook up with a woman by changing costumes frequently and giving her a different pick-up line.
This is a highly recommended episode of a highly recommended show. It isn't as "sexy" as The Office or My Name is Earl, but it's one of the best-written comedies out there when it's firing on all cylinders.
Now this ep is from last year, so Ted's a lot more pathetic in that ep than he is now. Just keep that in mind.

24 Trailer and Ausiello interviews
Just a quick one.
There's huge buzz surrounding the 24 trailer that was just released. I just want to know how many hours/episodes will be spent shaving Jack's face.
Here's the link:
http://www.24trailer.com/
And TV Guide's Michael Ausiello interviewed a number of FOX stars at a recent gathering, and he hit up five Prison Break members for a few minutes each. Minor spoilers in them (not here), but nothing you probably already didn't know-- or won't know long before they air.
Notables:
Wentworth Miller seems like a guy you could sit and talk with for hours. He's always seemed that way to me in any interview I've ever seen him give. Dude's smart and extremely articulate. And he seems to know his way around Michael Schofield (the Ausiello clip caught Miller saying Schofield and Mahone are almost like two sides of the same coin-- except Mahone went to the dark side).
Sarah Callies took the obvious question Ausiello had to ask and stopped him in his tracks. It was pretty good to see-- and reminded us of how much has happened to her since Schofield betrayed her.
Dominic Purcell was humorously underdressed compared to the others.
Marshall Allman seemed comfortable with his continued existence on the show.
William Fichtner cut Ausiello NO slack. He chewed him up and spit him out. Either Fichtner knows something about Mahone we've never seen, or he's deluded himself as much as Mahone has had to. I also liked how Fichtner did everything except say "stop letting the major plot beats dictate the characters," by saying, "I don't know what show you've been watching."
And Invasion fans may not want to stay to the end of the Fichtner interview. Let's just say he's not upset the show didn't get renewed.
Those were the Prison Break clips, but I also checked out the David Boreanez clip about Bones. "TV Geek" Ausiello asks him if he'd ever consider doing a Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie, and you could feel the temperature drop as he said, "I don't know." I don't what happened on that show or Angel (other than maybe he felt he was typecast for a while), but it seems as if he has no desire to go back. Bummer.
Anyway, here's the link to the clips. Most are about in the 2 minute range.
