  • good, but unrealistic.

    I liked the episode and thought it was intense enough. I just thought it was rather unrealistic. Okay, so they scramble jets to shoot down the plane, that's great, but jumping out of it with a parachute and still making it safely when jets are shooting you down is unlikely.

    Allowing America's two most wanted criminals to easily escape custody is rather silly. Obviously the other guards would have known something was up even with one of them was "on the take". Surely IA would investigate thoroughly something like this.

    Finally Bellack getting set up for murdering his friend...okay but WTF? How is he all of the sudden going back to Fox River? No trials, no lawyers? And he WANTED to go back there thinking he'd get "special treatment"? Umm, no...a murder trial takes a few months, it doesn't instantly happen in a day or two; obviously he wouldn't plead guilty given that he was innocent! And thinking that it's a good idea to be incarcerated at the place you worked as a correctional officer...very unrealistic.

    I love the show but the glaring realism errors do bug me enough to detract from the experience.moreless

  • The main plot is predictable, so the ending don´t have the expected effect, but this episode managed to be good, with some setups for the second half of the season.

    Details/Progress (To point A to B) - (9/10). Michael and Lincoln are in Jail, but Mahone and Kellerman are waiting for a opportunity to kill them, here we move from point A (in Jail), to Point B (facing Mahone and Kellerman). Bellick and T-bag scenes was about filling details that was necessary

    Plot Details/Holes- (5/10). The cops appeared form nowhere. How Sucre teleported to Mexico without being shoot down is another Miracle from the writers staff. Nobody in a bar can recognize or suspect who is T-bag, Drama - (7/10). The usual. Poor Bellick.

    Suspense/Tension - (8/10).The last scenes could be more suspenseful if you couldnt predict the result. Surprises/Shocks - (6/10). The appearance of the main villain is not enough. T-bag real intention was nice.

    Time and Scene Management - (7/10). The main plot managed to buy time for the producers, T-bag scenes was well done, and Bellick also share the same luck, Sara scenes was essential.

    Beginning - (9/10). Sucre, Michael and Lincoln Problems are solved in the presentation phase, but now they are in the same position they were in season 1.

    Complication Phase - (8/10). Michael and Lincoln are in Jail and will be transferred to Fox River, but Mahone and Kellerman had other plans.

    Climax - (6/10). If you couldnt predict the result, this could be interesting.

    Ending - (7/10). The arguments was good.

    What I liked - Bellick in Fox River. T-bag scenes leaded to somewhere.

    What I Didnt Liked - The episode main plot was predictable.

    The main plot is predictable, so the ending dont have the expected effect, but this episode managed to be good, with some setups for the second half of the season.moreless

    T-Bag continues his search for Susan. Bellick returns to Fox River as an inmate, while Michael and Lincoln are also to be sent back after being arrested. Sucre is forced to parachute off his getaway plane as Kellerman hatches a plan. Another awesome episode from Prison Break. This show is just amazing to be honest! I loved it when Bellick went back to Fox River as am inmate. Bellick is awesome in this show. But oh my god...What a cliffhanger it was just awesome! I mean Kellerman was just awesome! I can't wait to see more, this episode was just wow, I mean it best episode so far! I'm giving it 10 out of 10!moreless

    If I could only say one thing about this show it would be when you think you have it figured out you get blindsided. In this episode Michael and Lincoln are apprehended by Border Patrol and Mahoney. Kellerman convinces Kim to give him another shot at killing the brothers and Kim agrees. Kellerman and Mahoney set up a way for the brothers to escape from custody so they can kill them. Mahoney and Kellerman trap the brothers and just when you think this could be it Kellerman pops Mahoney. I did not see that coming at all. Kellerman tells the brother that the president has ruined his life and the brothers and if they want to do something about now is the time to follow him. Meanwhile T-Bag catches up with the woman who puts him in prison, Bellick is sentenced and sent to Fox River and Sara is changing her appearance to stay of ahead of the people who want her dead. Wow, what an episode. This show has become one of my all time top 5 shows. It just keeps getting better and better.moreless

    • Michael: If we go back to prison we'll have a few extra days. We'll have a chance to contact Sara. Lincoln: We don't know where Sara is. Sara may be dead, Michael. Edit
    • Reporter: I am here with Ed Pavelka, the new warden of Fox River penitentiary where Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield are scheduled to be returned to sometime tomorrow. Now warden, the escape happened a mere two days before Burrows was scheduled to be put to death. He's already been granted one day. Do you anticipate any further delays? Warden Pavelka: Lincoln Burrows is a convicted murderer. His escape has endangered the lives of civilians across this country. He is not a celebrity, he is not a martyr. I can assure you that whatever leniency was afforded him and the other prisoners under the old regime at Fox River, will no longer be tolerated. The only thing that Mr. Burrows can expect is what a jury of his peers demanded: a speedy execution. Reporter: And Michael Scofield? Warden Pavelka: With his escape, the aiding and abetting charges, the felonies he's racked up along the way, on top of his original sentence, I'd say Mr. Scofield will be spending the rest of his life behind bars. Thank you. Edit
    • Mahone: These are my prisoners and I will be personally escorting them in their transfer vehicle. Border Patrol Agent: You can follow in the chase car... Mahone: I don't believe you heard me. I'll be accompanying them in their... Border Patrol Agent: The only people allowed in the van are the driver and two guards who've been trained and certified in prisoner transport. Mahone: Are you really going to make me go over your head? Border Patrol Agent: I'll even dial the phone for you. Edit
