8fantastic episode, easily my favourite of the new season so far, 9/10. wtf - previous poster saying t-bag is still likable, wouldnt like to meet your friends! t-bag's cunning and evil side coming out to the max now, the scene with him splashing his feet in the pool talking to the girl was very effective.
good to see tweener again he's cetainly getting all the luck since the breakout
john abruzzi RIP, peter stormware is the man.
ps. is it just me or are others struggling to figure out who is in the mugshot which the fed keeps looking at, and what's the connection with michael?0 -

8Ashamed to say I only figured it out when Abruzzi was in the car park of the motel,I should have figured it out when Mahone mentioned the rat.
But one way or another I knew Abruzzi would die. I think I mentioned before that he has been listed as a guest star ever since he came back after the neck slicing. Add that with rumours he didn't get along with the cast,you knew his number would come up sooner rather than later.
I loved the rest of it,with Bellick,Nikki and Linc not trusting anyone "Ah,Bellick you suck!" lol 
Best episode of this season so far.
Both Kellerman and T-Bag are great characters because you love to hate them,evil SOBs
9/100 -
9HOLY SMOKIN' NIKA !!!
Wow, that was Asstastic!!!
If only for the drool factor of Nika, this ep gets a 10...
Kinda thought she held a bit of gra for Mikey, and since he isn't gonna return the favour, then i'll gladly be a shoulder for her to cry on...
Fair play to Linc, always on the ball, Bellick must feeling like a right muppet, I laughed when Geary came back and said (You really suck Bellick, you know that..)
Can't wait to see how this Oscar Shales thread plays out.. maybe Mike has studied his case, maybe he already knows of Mahone, so many questions. I like how this added to the show, (instead of the usual cliffhanger) also read that 'Oscar Shales' is an anagram of ' A search loss'
I will miss you Nika.....
.... and your pink tracksuit...0 -

6Good episode. It was sad that J. Abruzzi died, really looking forward to his revenge or at least escaping with his wife and children.
Glad to see Linc is not as dumb as he looks and no AJ
The doc is fcuked now, so the paper bird had a secret message on it?
I was wrong about the body parts in 0203, it was only blood.
Gave it a 7 as no C-note, Pope or Haywire and the fact that they did not kill Bellick and the other guy. Will they ever learn.0 -

9HOLY VALANCE BATMAN!!!
What an episode! Best of the new series by a mile.
Seemed a bit obvious that it wouldn't be Tweener gettin caught, given the general nature of the show, but couldn't think who else it would be, esp. when they said "rat" so that kept me guessing.
Thought Abruzzi was in for trouble all right, but with the mob rather than the feds.
Agree with Rollo, Bellick lookin at them in the car was cool.
T-Bag is such a sick-ass mofo, but can't not like him, surprised he left the girl behind though - i guess 14 year olds put up too much of a fight
"a pinch of crack" that was funny, Kellerman's evil.
Michael, he's starting to make mistakes, especially calling Sara. I can see why he felt he had to, but as he said himself they could have been listening, not a good move. I also quote from a previous episode:
Abruzzi: "your love is your weakness right now"
Michael: "you just have to be smart about it"
Well you're not!!!!!!
Mike gave Bellick a right boot to the head, that was pretty hardcore by his standards. In fact, the only other time I can recall him assaulting anyone he also kicked them in the head!

and of course, Holly Valance, balancing out the eye candy from those hunky convicts, and giving the lads someone to (Go)ogle. Bless her cotton socks.0 -
8Excellent episode..
Copped onto Mahone setting up Abruzzi when Mahone was told they were minutes from the motel and i saw Abruzzi's limo pull up to a motel - knew it wouldn't be Tweener .. but excellently played out with Debra Jean actually ringing her father all along.
Will miss Peter Stormare - and his really odd accent (does anyone know where Abruzzi's accent originated? It's sometimes French / Italian!) and over-acting... but Abruzzi was inevitably doomed ever since i've been seeing "Guest Starring: Peter Stormare" since 2X01.
Holly did look fooking fantastic in the episode.. dear God, Bellick was one lucky SOB. Bellick has plenty of great lines.. the show seems to have injected a lot more humour from his character which i'm enjoying more and more. And the image of the episode (besides smokin' hot Nika and her pink tracksuit was Bellick's manic face while bumping into the car with Scofield, Linc & Nika. You know the face i mean.. the one slightly demented expression plastered on his face during every scene in the chase:
Finally get another appearance of T-Bag.. when he placed his arm around the little girl, i couldn't help but squirm and be very uncomfortable. The guy is morally unredeemable in my eyes but as a character has his undeniable charms and taking the little girl would have really lost the appeal he has.
Kellerman is turning into a very interesting character.. and see how the face lit up when Sarah said "Michael". Very interesting going-on's there.
I must admit i was skeptical about the series at first.. but i love the way it's going. It is a radical change from the first season but even if this was the show's first series, i could see myself enjoying it immensely. And i think the creators took a risk in the direction they're taking but it's paying off in my eyes.
Next, we need some feckin' HAYWIRE!!!
PS - also love the way Mahone gets a point across in every episode by first saying something quietly and then realising no-one is paying attention, he bangs the bulletin board and screams it... he must have done it at least 3 times already. Genius!
PPS - you know an episode is good when i write this much about it! /\ /\ /\ /\ /\0 -

he's from Sweden, and I assume he's been trying to put on a pseudo-Italian accent (mob boss and all that).
I always felt that he sounded completely hammered when speaking0 -

9I kind of knew it wouldn't be Tweener to go first because of the way all the signs pointed to him but nobody was mentioning names. Mahone mentioned the 'rat' and a motel, but didn't name names. Also didn't mention what airport they were coming from. The clues to Abruzzi's demise were also fairly prominent, saying we wasn't going back to prison and would rather die and an all to convenient informant on where Fibonacci was going to be. Still, I was half expecting the feds to barge in on Tweener and he wrapped in a towel. Having the girl actually telling the truth about the phone call was genius.
Nika: Don't come any closer or I'll shoot you.
Linc: No you won't.
Too cool for school all together that guy.
And a final farewell to Holly's fine pink trackie
Chalk up another kill for T-Bag too I suppose. How does he manage to over power a fairly big man, armed with an iron too, when he only has use of one hand and I'd imagine is in constant pain from that other being re-attached? I guess it's just part of his character, he doesn't care about the pain and it doesn't effect him. Evil and dark, but oh so good.0 -

7Great episode altogether, as already mentioned, bellicks face in the car scenes are hilarious, holly is extra sexy, and Linc is deffo to cool for school

He is Swedish and using his own accent. He comments on his character in the making an episode feature on the Season 1 DVDs. He says he plays a new world gangster and was ditching the cliched mob boss accent and using his own.basquille wrote:Will miss Peter Stormare - and his really odd accent (does anyone know where Abruzzi's accent originated?

8Can't believe Abruzzi's gone. He was one of my favourite characters and that's really saying something in a show full of great characters.
I could hardly watch when T-Bag started putting moves on the girl. I've never seen a sicker character on tv, not even in Oz.
I think Holly's little lapdance scene might hold the key to future plot developments. I stayed up all night watching it over and over again, looking for clues as to what way the plot will twist next. I've gone blind in one eye but I think I'm close, so I'll keep ye all posted.0 -
