  • They are Breaking OUT!!!!

    "Superb"
    By Dante_Edy, Aug 09, 2010 Report Abuse
    They have 3 days to break out, however, since Bellick found the hole and Westmorland have put him into the hole, they have less than one day to break out before the guards notice that Bellick is missing, and its mean that they need to get into the infirmary, get extra uniforms, get lincoln out of the box and get into the PI, all in the same day. and this is what make this episode is soo interesting.

    How they will make it?

    This is what this episode provides you with. And it is exacly what you can expect from PB, a Superb episode.

    Michael takes desesperates measures with sara and pope, risking everything to unsure that he escapes with is brother.

    The ending reminds the audience, that everyone of the Escape Squad have their motivations.

    This episode is a Setup, but is very interesting and every minute you watch are worth.moreless

    This episode was well written, one of the best... I been waiting for this to happen for over 3 months and its finally going to happen, they are going to break out of prison... But there are some down sides to escaping the prison

    1. They have to break over 7 guys and earlier this season Michael Scofield said it was goin to be tough to break 6 guys out and now they are trying to break over 7 guys out

    2. With out the Dr. Sara Tancredi help they are not going to get into the infirmary and right now she is not in the prison

    3. John Abruzzi have a escape plane for only three people
    and John Abruzzi is one of the people from "The Company"

    I seriously cant wait till the next episode...moreless

    I cannot hope to adequately describe the way this episode made me feel, but if I were to, "WOW" would be the closest thing. "Tonight" is definitely an amazing instalment. Heart-pounding, nail-biting, well-written, superbly plotted, filmed, directed and of course acted, would be other adjectives one could use to describe it.
    If they manage to keep the bar this high for the next two episodes, then I'm sure Prison Break will be beating Lost\'s audience records in no time.
    One thing I have to mention is Michael (spoilers) telling Sarah about the escape, and especially his holding the Pope at knifepoint at the end. These two moves struck me as incredibly risky and desperate. They seemed to be last-ditch escape efforts, not parts of a master plan... I could be wrong, though.
    Anyway a special mention should be made to the music at the end of the episode (not just at the end, throughout the episode in fact), which I think was incredibly well placed and totally appropriate.moreless

  • I don't think that this show can have a bad episode. This one was just "WOW".

    I guessed from the name of the episode that something was going to happen but I didn't expect to happen what did happen.
    I did not expect Michael to tell people about breaking out but the last scene with Pope played out I could not believe it. It shows that he is not leaving without his brother. Something that I would never do also. Another twist that you really didn't expect was Nick to be working with Abruzzi and to find out the plane has only got 3 seats I'm starting to wonder who is getting on that plane. I think that Doctor Tancredi is on Michaels side after she was told by her dad that he didn't read the file on Lincoln. Interesting to find out is she unlocks the door. Also we don't know about LJ it was a big thing for a few episodes there and then just died. Suppose with only 2 episodes left this season only so much can be told. I can't wait for the final 2 episodes. Prison Break is a great show and I wish it didn't have to end. Just keep going with the next season.moreless
