Top Ten Reasons why Lincoln is Better than Michael

Cute article from Kristin Sample at TVSquad:

1. He’s got a really nice body (one that is tan and muscular and often sweaty). If Grey’s Anatomy has “McDreamy” and “McSteamy,” then Prison Break has “McBeefy.”

2. He’s one of the few actors I have ever seen that looks good with five o’clock shadow … on his whole head.

3. He’s the main reason for the plot of the show. (If he was never set-up by the company, Michael would never have had to get sent to Fox River and bust him out. You can’t really call it Prison Break if the main characters don’t need to escape from a prison. Oh wait, unless it’s season two of Prison Break.)

4. He gets into good fight scenes. (I seem to remember an awesome head butt in season one as hMichael and Lincolne protected a newbie guard from T-Bag and his cronies. Anyone who uses a head butt is cool.)

5. He’s got all ten toes. (I seem to remember a certain mob boss cutting a toe off of Michael’s foot. Did that ever get reattached?)

6. He’s a good older brother. (In season three so far, Lincoln has encouraged a forlorn Michael to continue on his quest to get Whistler out and save Sara and LJ. Lincoln even went so far as to say that he wished that they could change places. Lincoln would gladly take Michael’s place in Sona, the deadliest prison in Panama.)

7. He’s tougher than Michael. (Michael may have the MacGyver smarts but he is so whiny at times. It often takes a brother who has been on death row to readjust Michael’s perspective.)

8. Have I mentioned the muscles?

9. He’s clever. Michael is obviously the one with more creativity and ingenuity but Lincoln’s resourcefulness is on the rise. (This season he is proving to be a valuable asset to Michael outside the prison. He tricked Susan B. Anthony by buying a second bird book and keeping the original for himself and Michael. Also, he figured out that Sara was pointing at a clue in the photos taken by the kidnappers.)

10. His love story with Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney) totally trumps the Michael and Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) plotline. (The one tender moment in the prison cell that Lincoln and Veronica is better than all the lovey-dovey-makey-outey moments that Michael and Sara have. I just can’t get into them.)
