Ok, six cards, that is realistic, but if the writers would only have 9 episode of season 3 to writer, this could be considered pure filler, just to fill episodes. The existence of six cards allow the writers to explore more Michael skills and some Drama to Mahone and Sara.
Let´s talk about the most boring scenes. Bruce scenes was pure filler, irrelevant to the main plot, but even if it was, they could make one scenes only.
The Best scenes was Mahone, very touching and Sad, the last scene was heartbreaking, I couldn´t believe Lincoln attitude, just excellent.
As you can guess, T-bag scenes in it majority, worked as filler, nothing really special.
The main event was more interesting, because the writers utilized one technique that I like – all can end today – but this time I thought that could be better managed. In prison the situation can work better, but with a little freedom, you can guess the ending. The tension was good and you have suspense, we had little progress in the main plot.
Presentation Phase - » (9/10). Interesting, another situation that could end all.
Complication Phase - » (9/10). Finding something where you don´t know where to look can be difficult.
Climax Phase - » (9/10). Everyone being caught and only Michael saved the day, not bad. The running was nice.
Ending - » (10/10). A unique and a spectacular and emotional ending that I will never forget.
Details/Progress (To point A to B) -» (8/10). Little progress, at least they known who have the remaining cards.
Time and Scene Management - » (8/10). T-bag scenes with Bruce scenes seemed to irrelevant, could be handled with only one scenes. The rest is fine
Plot Details/Holes- » (9/10). It is strange how Michael escape from that building or how Lincoln entered without anybody noticing him, but was for the sake of the plot.
Suspense/Tension - » (9/10)*2. There were scenes filled with tension.
Drama - » (10/10). Mahone played an spectacular performance, mainly the last scene.
This episode continues to show that can deliver interesting episodes with scenes filled with tension.
Michael makes a promise that he may not be able to keep, that he will find the rest of the cards (all 5 of them). Alex makes a phone call to one of his old co-workers, to ask her to get something to him. Lincoln over hears him and learns that they have killed his son. Sara learns that they have until the end of the day to find one of the other cards or they will all go back to prison. Alex's co-worker (Lang) manages to get the information he needed and drops it off where he asked. The team manage to get a server to get information on the cards, Sara gets made. She manages to escape with help from Michael. The team get what they need. The server room which Michael and another member of the team are stuck in. Michael reveals that the room will suck all of the oxygen out of the room as a failsafe against fire. Michael had set of the fire alarm to save Sara.
Lincoln shows up and mages to save the day, just in the nick of time. The team learn that they have to run, as they are being shut down. So they make a run for it and just manage to escape, but only be the skin of their teeth. The team realise where the meeting is taking place and head there. T Bag (who is still posing as James) arranges a meeting with Gate for the following day. Part of the team get captured, but Michael manages to escape from them. Alex, Lincoln and Sara are all arrested. Michael makes it to the meeting and Sara is set free. Michael goes back and tells them that they know the identity of the 6 card holders (he videotaped the meeting). So with evidence all of the team are let go. Wyatt gets the information that he needed from Bruce and kills him. Alex gets his envelope filled with information. We learn that only his son was killed and not his ex-wife. She was told to tell him that if he doesn't hand himself in she is next.
Michael attempts to track the cardholder and avoid going back to prison. Wyatt finds new information regarding Sara's whereabouts. T-Bag uses a new identity to make a new life for himself. What can I say about this episode? It was so much better than last weeks two hour special episodes. I really enjoyed it. Obviously the best episode in season four so far, if the episode keep getting better and better each week I will be extremely happy with Prison Break. I loved this episode. I'm so worried about Michael, in my opion I think he is going to die, but I really hope not. Oh and I felt so sorry for Mahone, glad Linc said he will hepl him out after everything is over. I was nearly crying when he shook hands with Linc. Well can't wait for next weeks episode. Bring it on.
Doing whatever it takes! hide show
So far the episodes of the fourth Prison Break season are really great. And that they are trying not to get caught. As well as trying to stay alive. If Michael is the brains of the operation. Then you can count Lincoln as the brawns in the group. Where, he broke the door down with an ax. Just really one or a few hits to the door. Glad that Roland is in the season. As I like him so far. But then, things can really change around. This is also about putting aside differences, working together as a team. To achieve one goal. Getting out!
I thought this episode had everything the premiere didn't. In my opinoin I thought there was plenty of character development most notably with Mahone. Loads of fast paced action, favourites scenes being the Shut Down part where they were all chased and the scene where Roland and Michael where locked in the room. One thing that annoys me about the people on the site is that they rate episodes so low just because the show is a bit off but even when a good episode comes along the still rate it low. It happens with loads of shows most notably Prison Break and Heroes. I thought this was one of the strongest episodes of the show to date. Maybe the ending was a bit average but that was it.
