Everybody Hates C-Note

The people behind Prison Break are insane. It's official. Who else would kill off a character every time they come to close to helping Michael and Lincoln save the day? Or have a deranged nutjob cosy up with a blind woman only to become obsessed with the Netherlands? Or make the show's resident one-armed paedophile an unlikely babe-magnet, attracting comely housewives or naive admin assistants with ease?

The only downside is their reluctance to axe some of the deadwood. Sure, Tweener's gone to the big prison in the sky thanks to psycho cop Mahone's over-zealous zero-tolerance policy. But why are Sucre and C-Note still alive? No one really wanted Sucre's parachute to open the other week, but open it did. And what about C-Note - why are we supposed to care about him, his lame evidence with-holding wife and his too-darn-cute daughter? In prison he was very useful, but on the run he's just useless, lurching from one disastrous plot to another. Let's hope trigger-happy Mahone catches up with him shortly...
