"Abysmal"

Prison Break should have ended on season one. The show was extremely well written. the show was only supposed to be one season but they felt like extending it because the ratings were so high. Anyways I would have loved to see the show end in one season with the original ending whatever it would have been(didn't get to see it cus they changed everything around to do another season).

Anyways I still gave it a chance and watched it all through season 2 which was mediocre and continued to watch till this episode which will be the final episode I watch. The reason why, is this. The previous episode Lincoln threatens the woman whom he meets and holds sara and LJ hostage. He threatens her by saying that they obviously need Lincoln and Michael and therefore dont have all the leverage. He then persuades her to allow Michael to make a phone call to Sara... so he makes the phone call, gets info, Lincoln tries to break them out and fails. Then they kill Sara.

If they were willing to kill Sara in the first place then they wouldnt have given Michael the phone call and when Lincoln threatened them with the whole you need us BS then they would have just said no.

So I dont know if its new writers on the show or they didnt have the time to come up with new script or its too hard to come up with script in the situation that everyone is in in the show. No matter what I dont care. The show is now a joke and what could have been one of the greatest seasons of a show ever has been ruined by making up new **** to milk it for all its worth. Reminds me of Dexter, the first season was one of the most complete, amazing, intense seasons of a show ever and really the show should end at just that. Although the new season is just starting and I dont want to get ahead of myself but I will be shocked if this season ends up being half as good as the first.

Btw, I am not going to watch the show for many reasons, not just the one mentioned above. The one above was just the icing on the cake.moreless

I enjoyed this episode. With the death of Sarah, this show stays true to the plots of danger and the fact no one is really safe. I like the fact they didn't back pedal on Mahone's withdrawal. The writers are actually letting it play out. The Mahone character is still teetering between good and evil. He reminded Michael at the end, he may not be himself, but he's not dumb. Once again Wentworth Miller and William Fichtner play off each other very well. Hate to say it, but I'm a Mahone fan. Good Fence was also a chance to finally see Linc play different emotion. We still know no more about Whistler then we did the first episode, and lately I'm finding the Whistler and Susan B. kind of unnecessary. And speaking of Susan B., did she really try to make Linc feel guility about her murdering Sarah? Did she really try to play the victim? She's a demented character, which I'm finding hard to see any redeeming qualities. All in all this episode was above average. Exactly what we look forward and expect from this show.moreless

Details/Progress (To point A to B) - (9/10). In this episode, Michael mission is moving forward, two plans that he made was successful, this is progress. Mahone request was filler and Bellick just took the ride in this episode at Michael cost, the same was for Lincoln. At least, T-bag is growing in Lechero organization.

Presentation Phase - (10/10). Excellent, revealing what was inside of the box was nice, a shocking beginning for the audience.

Complication Phase - (9/10). Michael plans is mysterious and dangerous, bellick didnt help, T-bag has his own plans. Climax Phase - (9/10). The tension here was great when Michael has to restore the energy accompanied with Lechero and his man.

Suspense/Tension - (9/10). The tension in this episode was great, if not perfect.

Drama - (9/10). Poor Lincoln.

Ending - (8/10). Interesting ending.

Surprises/Shocks/Twists - (10/10). Little surprises thanks to T-bag, but what was inside the box was great.

Time and Scene Management - (8/10). Mahone scenes was only there to buy time, T-bag scenes maybe will be important in the future, Michael scenes was necessary, Sucre too, and Lincoln scenes also was necessary this time.

Plot Details/Holes- (9/10). Will be very hard to notice any flaws in this episode.

What I liked - Bellick last scene, Michael scenes, what was inside of the box, Sucre attitude.

What I Didnt Liked - Mahone scenes.

This episode moves the plot forward and has an interesting surprise that will shock the majority of Prison Break fans.moreless

After his failed attempt at rescue, Lincoln receives a deadly threat from the company. Michael formulates an electrifying escape plan from Sona. Mahone is haunted by hallucinations of Haywire. T-Bag becomes a member of Lechero's crew by murdering Nieves. Bellick's attempt to rat on Michael backfires. Haywire was back for this episode, god I miss that guy he is / was a legend. Glad he came back to haunt Mahone for awhile. Another awesome episode from Prison Break though. I love this season. I can't wait to see more, even though I am re-watching it, I just love this season so much.moreless
