  • Prison break is back, but is not the same.

    7.5
    "Good"
    By HarryPotel, Oct 04, 2011 Report Abuse
    I really like this show, but I feel like it has lost it's track a while ago. To be honest, in my opinion the show changed forever in the final episodes of season 2, when Sarah is judged in one day, suddenly appears in Panama and then the whole game changes. Season 3 was good, but I didn't like that they've killed Sarah off, and the finale was not as good as I was expecting, but we have the strike to blame for that.

    I understand that after two seasons in Prison the "let's break out of another prison" storyline cannot be used, so the change is good. However, I feel like they're trying to reinvent the show each season, and that makes believing it harder every time.

    What I really like about this season is Mahone, Fitchner is one of the best actors in the series and the writers use it really well. Each time his character is pushed further away, and he delivers with a great performance every time.

    I really like to have Sarah back, but it makes the whole series a lot less beliavable. If you kill somebody, it should stay dead. I feel like they've actually corrected a huge mistake for last season, but this makes the error a lot more tangible and makes it difficult to follow the storyline.

    I liked Whistler's death, but I didn't like Gretchen appearing at the end alive. It looked like they've made a really bold move by killing of a couple of characters, but then they proved not to be able to do such thing, specially with Sarah's return in mind. In a show that's always on the edge, is good to think that everyone could be killed at anytime, like happens in shows like 24 or Lost, if they do this kind of things, you feel like everything is just an entertainment but nothing really bad will happen to anyone with a contract, and that is bad for the show.

    T-Bag is following the storyline for last season, using Whistler's mysterious "bird book", nothing really great happened but I think that this may bring some consistency to the show.

    Finally, I like the new character (Roland) but I think that the "digital black hole" storyline is hilarious, why don't they make it more beliavable? It's ok to suck data of wireless devices like cellphones and laptops, but of a card not connected to anything? I find this REALLY hard to believe.

    To sum it up, is good to have the show back with some of it's strenghts, but I doubt they can achieve the same quality as in the first season. They should make the story more beliavable and take bigger risks.moreless

    Like I said before this episode was slightly rushed. There has been no real Character development out of both these episodes only between Michael and Sarah. I'm liking the breaking in scene it was awesome. You gotta love Bellick and Tbag they are great characters to watch. I was laughing when Bellick robbed the purse lol. When T-bag ate bad Mexican that was great and very funny. Hopefully next weeks episode continues with the show which is getting increaseingly better. I just hope no one dies because the whole Whistler getting killed off was totally wrong it really annoyed me. All in all it gets a 8.9 out of 10.moreless

    Wyatt continues his quest to find the brothers.
    T-Bag makes his way north. What can I say about this episode? I mean it was a better episode than the firts but still it seems a bit rushed. Bellick is a legend though, the way he was running. I thought that was an awesome scene. I really like the way Michael and Sara are back together though, it's just so right. I loved it when they broke in though, another amazing sccene. Hopefully the other episodes in the season will be better and not rushed.moreless

    The team are taken to a warehouse building and are all made to wear ankle tags so that the police know where they are at all times. They meet a man there named Roland. He is a tech wiz. We see that Michael and Lincoln are staking out one of the company's head men's house. They use Sarah as a decoy to plant a cell phone into the housekeeper's bag. Which they hope will allow them to copy the disk, which the company have. They manage to copy the disk. Meanwhile the hit man hired by the company is still trying to track down Lincoln and Michael, in order to kill both of them. When the team move back in to get the cell phone back, they can't find it. They believe that the maid has handed it back in to the house and now they must find a way to get it back before they notice that it is even there.
    So the team hatch a plan and manage to make it inside of the house and manage to get the cell phone back. Michael tells Sarah that he is there for her, for whatever she needs. We learn that the data they got was only a piece of the puzzle and that there are 6 (another 5 to be found) of them out there. At the end of the episode we see Michael in the bathroom looking at himself in a mirror and his nose starts to bleed. Michael looks panicked.moreless

    Complication Phase - (10/10)*2. I liked the complication that they had to solve, seemed impossible to overcome that obstacle. What I liked more was the level of the difficult that was increasing.

    Climax Phase - (8/10). When they decided to enter in the property, however, in my opinion, the tension could be even better.

    Ending - (9/10). Exactly the kinds of ending that you can expect from prison break, things are more complicated than ever.

    Details/Progress (To point A to B) - (10/10)*2. They had a mission they were successful. Nothing in terms of emotional progress.

    Time and Scene Management - (9/10). Again T-bag is the filler material here. Of course to divide the cards is creating more filler, but at least, this makes some sense, since Scylla is something very important.

    Plot Details/Holes- (9/10). As usual, suspend your beliefs and everything will be ok.

    Suspense/Tension - (8/10). Could be better, but was very good anyway.

    Surprises/Shocks/Twists - (7/10). Expect some surprises, a character is alive and Michael is sick, well, this seems more like setups.

    What I liked - The complicated situation that they had to overcome.

    What I Didnt Liked - T-bag scenes.

    This episode shows the new formula for each episode of PB. This episode is very interesting and show that this show have the capacity to build interesting episodes.moreless

    • When Lincoln talks with Michael and Sara on the pier, he is not wearing his watch, so Dominic Purcell's new tattoo is visible on his left wrist. Edit
    • When the team was tailing the driver of the "card holder" they were doing so in a black SUV, driving close to his car on an empty road. He would have certainly spotted that he was being tailed and taken countermeasures against an untrained team of convicts. Edit
