  • The Tension Lowered, but even so, manages to be Very Good!!!!

    9.0
    Compared with the previous episode, the tension created lowered a little, but this not afect the enjoyment that this episode can provide.



    How Michael can Save his brother, Sara, take care of t-bag and the guard who knows about the Plan? All this is answered, with a episode filled with tension.



    Lincoln assassin provided a better situation in the previous episode, since this time this ended very quickly.



    Michael and sara interaction was interesting, since michael comitted a little error during the conversation. The Last scene is filled with tension.



    The guard situation is resolved by the predictable way, but there no better way than this.



    Overall, a strong episode, that provides you with intensity, tension, curiosity, well, the usual characteristics that you already know and can expect from Prison Breakmoreless
  • Amazing.

    Michael puts the escape plan at risk to rescue Sara from the rowdy prisoners in sick-bay, leaving Sucre, Abruzzi and T-Bag to continue the digging. Lincoln must fight off an assassination attempt. Veronica and Nick follow a lead to Washington D.C. This episode was awesome. Eventhough Part one was better. This episode was very, very nevre wracking but I loved every bloody second of it. There was so many brilliant scenes in the episode. I cant wait to watch more episodes of this awesome show. All I can say is that I love Prison Break, oh and I also love Wentworth Miller of course.moreless
  • Part 2

    9.8
    Michael (Wentworth Miller) realizes that to complete the digging job inside the walls, he needs to spend a good block of time there, which has been proving difficult as he has to keep coming back to his cell to make count. After explaining this to Sucre (Amaury Nolasco), Sucre admits that "there are only three certain things in life. Death, taxes and count" and that the only time count doesn't take place is during a lockdown. Michael uses his access to the inside of the walls to turn off the air conditioning. The prisoners suffer in the heat, leading T-Bag (Robert Knepper) to start a fight with a guard who then initiates a lock-down while some of the prisoners are out of their cells. The prisoners riot and break into the prison cell control room, in which T-Bag opens all the cells and then finds a set of keys, giving him and the rioters access to the entire prison.

    Brilliant episode with alot of suspence.moreless
  • a great two parter

    10
    I love part one, and part two was just as good, i love the whole Michael/Sara interaction...it was just really good and the actors really help bring about he sexual tension between the two characters that we love. I also found TBags involvement to be another great twist in the plot to break out, and its interesting to see how that will be dealt with. I liked the way more of the Michael/Lincoln story was explored in this episode because there wasa lot going on otherwise, i thought that the scene where Lincoln got into a fight was well acted and believeable. We get to see LJ in this episode and his part was well played, i loved the emotion brought out when he remarked that his step father 'had no clue' as to what he was going through.moreless
