Linc is to arrange transport outside, but gets turned away roughly by an army patrol at two miles with Marisol in her car, then tells her Sara has already been killed, he keeps it from Michael as L.J. Sucre accepts $5,000 from a limousine man to smuggle a package into Sona. OVERALL Review copyright © Dan Owen, 2008.A test with a rat proves the tower snipers are very good, so Michael figures breaking out with Whistler within 24 hours has to be at 3 PM, during a distracting soccer game. Join in the discussion about this episode at Dan’s Media Digest Prison Break could do with trimming the fat, and losing Bellick would be a step in the right direction. But I’m still very disappointed by the treatment of Linc (who is now almost irrelevant) and particularly Bellick (Wade Williams) this season the latter of whom spends the episode sat on a floor shouting at T-Bag. I’m sure Michael’s health will fuel a major cliffhanger in the future. It was also good to get some clarity with Michael’s nosebleeds - he’s inherited his mother’s fatal brain aneurysm. Overall, a reliably entertaining episode that doesn’t quite deliver the goods, but significantly pushes the GATE storyline forward. His means of ensuring his safety from the likes of Company assassin Wyatt (Cress Williams) also made some sense - and that’s a rarity on this show. Don’s actually growing on me, too his reactions to everything are more realistic than the macho posturing of the other emboldened characters. Yes, I’m going to stop calling him Pad Man, as his inexplicable season 2 fondness for silence and scribbled dialogue has long since vanished.
I also enjoyed Don Self’s (Michael Rapaport) story this week, as the dopey-looking government agent grew some balls on the advice of Mahone and took his fight to sinister General Krans (Leon Russom) personally. It’s a greedy motivation he incorrectly thinks Michael shares. Amusingly, T-Bag has no idea Scylla is The Company’s “little black book” just that it’s likely to fetch a handsome sum of money. Michael soon starts assembling pages of Whistler’s book, revealing a blueprint of the GATE offices where the Company’s Scylla-reader is located. Michael is forced at gunpoint to make sense of Whistler’s bird book, as T-Bag threatens Trishanne’s life and Gretchen lurks out of sight in another room as the insidious puppeteer. Linc (Dominic Purcell) is so underused he may as well not be there, Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) is again only used for eye-candy distraction purposes (nice bikini, though), Roland (James Hiroyuki Liao) is already the most irritating and stupid new character on TV, and Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) gets a supposedly hilarious mission to flirt with gay Company mark Howard Scuderi (24’s Jude Ciccolella) long enough to copy his Scylla card.įortunately, T-Bag’s storyline was more eventful and relevant to the deeper mysteries of the show. The Vegas storyline wasn’t particularly strong given the exciting opportunities the city affords, either. For example: I just don’t believe that GATE secretary Trishanne (Shannon Lucio) would become T-Bag’s accomplice and co-kidnapper so easily, and having Mahone (William Fichtner) escape T-Bag’s trap, by jumping over a wall and generally running in a straight line as T-Bag fired off terrible gunshots, was laughable.
Typically for Prison Break, there are moments that strain credibility and pull you out of whatever semblance of reality the show has. Back in L.A, T-Bag (Robert Knepper) allies himself with nasty Gretchen (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) to help her capture Michael (Wentworth Miller) and force him to decipher Whistler’s bird bookĬhristian Trokey (who worked as a script editor, until his season 3 breakthrough “Bang & Burn”) crafts a fun episode that isn’t clean and efficient enough to have you marvelling, but gets the job done. This week, the similarities to those movies are unavoidable, as half of “Scofield’s Six” head to Las Vegas to electronically swipe another Scylla data-card. Last week’s episode had a vague Ocean’s Eleven vibe to its opening. Season 4 Episode 7: “Five the Hard Way”Broadcast on Sky One, Tuesday October 7th, 2008 As premiered on Season 1-3 Boxset:
