Don’t know if anyone else caught the highly ridiculous yet entertaining premiere of Prison Break tonight–don’t look at me, I was diligently working on my review that’s due later this week!–but if nothing else it was notable for what I believe must be the first prominent use of Chicago’s Millennium Park as a dramatic backdrop. And a good use it was, too–I’m told–capitalizing on the Crown Fountain‘s big, spitting images for their creepy panoptical quality. Perhaps the next episode will treat us to some Bean action; there’s a star in the making if I ever saw one. (If you want to catch up, tonight’s premiere airs again Thursday at 7:00 pm Bean Daylight Time, 8:00 Eastern.)
