A very good episode again.
It's a strong season so far.

It was a bit of a cop out not showing tbag ripping his arm off.
I wanted to see that.
Nice scene with the bullet casing and Lincolns 007 impersonation.
Michael and his hair brain plan, it was a bit of a stretch hoping that
sucre would figure out bolshoi booze..........and he figured it out :rolleyes:
Nice scene with kellerman struggling with what had to be done.
I still think he will change his mind/be interrupted cause i don't want
sara to die
And now mahone is on their ass again.
Once again, ignore the unbelievable and it's a damn good show.

argggggghh why is PB so good, the ending.... how will sara get herself outta this one unless kellerman has a change of heart.

lukin

Yep, good strong ep again and yet another cliff-hanger ending.
The scene with Geary and the hookers in the hotel room was hilarious. The look on his face when he heard the knock on the door was priceless.
I think the fate of that 5 mill will be resolved soon, they can't get much more mileage out of it.
Michael was a bit stupid to try and con those Mexicans alright.
Brilliant scene after he robbed the store when he was wrestling with his conscience.
That's what I really like about PB:the good guys aren't good all the time
Great fight between Linc and the mole as well.
Hope Sarah doesn't croak it.

I hope to god that Michael actually told Sucrue where to go and that the map was just a reminder because there is no way in hell that he could figure it out. He can't even spell.

The scene when the 3 amigos met up with micheal in the middle of nowhere was a bit of a cop out aswell but i suppose had to be done.

Geary getting killed off eh? good man tbag, no prisoners. I wonder what's that he found in the bag? Do you think it's the address of the woman he is in love with? That is the only thing keeping Tbag in Bellick's sight, it's the only connection they have now.

Michael was a bit stupid to try and con those Mexicans alright.

he didn't know that there wasn't any nitro in the vials.


i thought this episode was ok, wasn't as good as the previous couple of weeks but was still good.

one thing i found crazy is just the way mahone figures things out, i know he's a smart **** and all but it always seems that he just gets frustrated at it then walks away and then after 10 seconds of a second attempt he figures things out.

sucre must of known more about bolshoi booze as the piece of paper michael handed him just had that written on it and nothing else. he must of at least known the co-ordinates.

also the scene where the cops burst the door open and to see t-bag has escaped, he vanished a little too fast for my liking, maybe it was the way the camera caught it but it seemed like he was still cabled tied to the rad as the door was being knocked it.

I presume you mean the mexicans, because Micheal did know that it wasn't nitro, seeing as he only bought the box a day before.

The real nitro that he had was found by the feds, under the flower in another episode.

Its interesting that he freaked out over stealing when he was going to hand over high explosive in his original plan, seemed a bit weird.

the original stuff was for yer mans heart

GENERIC NAME: NITROGLYCERIN - INJECTION (nye-troh-GLISS-er-in)
USES: This medication is used to control high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, lung congestion and chest pain especially in heart attack patients. It decreases the workload on the heart by enlarging (dilating) blood vessels.

oh yeah,
this is what geary wanted to do to the hooker
Cleveland Steamer
I sometimes surprise myself at the strange facts I know


I think sara can escape by pulling out the plug hole with her teeth, the camera stayed on it for a few seconds when she 1st saw the bath

"A cleaveland WHAT?"...Ah, quality

Enjoyable episode allround, I though. The Bolshoi Booze being upside down coordinates was a bit Davinci Code for my liking, especially since Mahone's such a brain usually.
The bit outside the shop just after Michael had nicked the GPS and knocked the storekeeper over was good, I thought. Usually he seems so calm and collected.

Interesting to see what'll happen with Sarah

Thanks for clearing that up Didn't the hookers look like drag queens, you would think 5mil would get you aleast get you a Holly lookalike.

Brilliant episode again. The father obviously came to see Mike when he was a kid then. I liked the way Mike did the right thing again and got the right location of the plane.

How many episodes are left? Another 11. Bet you that they miss the plane then :rolleyes:

Another very strong episode.
My prediction for Sara is that

Kellerman will have a change of heart and pull her out... you could see the way he was agonising over his decision to kill her. And he hates Smiley Oriental Guy too. This could be a turning point for Paul...

2 episodes left before the break.... I expect a monster cliff hanger in episode 13!!

Great episode.

I love the way Geary went "I'll explain everything.. look we have a glass table right here!"

Hawt.

I think his fight with TBag should have been better though.. I mean TBag had only one hand and he'd lost a load of blood. And the tracking device in the bag? That's such a load of deus ex machina BS!!

Huh? Do you mean what the feds found? It was the nitro Michael had intended to give to the Mexicans,which I presume they would use to blow crap up. when it was found Mahone said something along the lines of this stuff could take out a city block.

lol, yeah its bad when you actually know what the joke is before looking it up. I only really know it because peter made a joke along the same lines in family guy.

I liked the moral dilemma with Mike after he robbed the gps. I was wondering when he was going to bring out "the end justifying the means", I mean he could only be ignorent of the **** he's stirred up for so long. Although confessional? I was hoping somehow that mahone was pretending to be the priest


[rant]
Also has anyone noticed in the last few episodes they seem to be wasting a lot of time per episode doing B&W flashbacks to previous episodes? Its actually starting to grate on my nerves, I want to see new footage, not some wren and stimpy like rehashes. In the last 2 episodes alone i'd say the've wasted 10 minutes with flashbacks for Mike, Tbag, Kellerman and mahone to name a few, that along with the 5 minutes of recaps at the start of every episode, and credits....its not on :mad:
[/rant]

I am however glad that they cleared up the nitro thing that had me baffled. Although the mexican dude giving up the location of the plane was ridiculous, its like they went from being hardened criminals/terrorists to being a bunch of wuss's when Mike freed them, there no way the mexican would keep his end of the deal after being conned and SHOT for christs sake.

Im guessing kellerman will see the key on the table by the sink and pull her out or like either she's going die lol

Theres no way michael will rescue her! If that did happen I would be annoyed!

Cant wait to see what happens with mahone if he finds michael and the gang in the desert! :eek:

Those who haven't seen episode 11 yet won't know what I'm talking about but if you have you might be interested to know where the exact location of those co-ordinates is.
I found a link on wikipedia about this episode:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolshoi_Booze
Scroll halfway down and you'll find the co-ordinates:
32°0′09″N, 104°57′09″W.
Click on it and it takes you to here:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/geo/geohack.php?params=32_0_09_N_104_57_09_W_city
Click where it says:
"Find this location on Google Maps" and voila the location comes up.
And it actually is in the Arizona desert, not far from the Mexican border!
Yeah I know what you are saying; "Jeez this guy must have a lot of time on his hands!"
Bet you wondered if those co-ordiantes were real yourself though!
Now you know.

Edit:you can zoom in really close in this link:

Hadn't thought about it being real, guess it's a nice fact to know it is. Wonder how much planning went into the tatoo and when the plans were laid out. Back in season 1 were the tatoo details the same as season two, does the actor have to get the tatoo painted on each day before filming?

Basq

Just goes to show fair fecks to the writers.. to put that much effort and work in.

As far fetched (and entertaining) as the show can be, they really are still putting the work in.

PS - merged with the existing Bolshoi Booze thread!

Creamy Goodness

the tattoo definelately has been added to since season1.

most notably the barcode tattoo with the radio frequency used in the episode "scan".

this thread should really have spoiler tags.

Basq

Keep forgetting to give my 2c's on these discussion threads recently..

Fantastic episode and as lukin's post above shows, the writers really are going all out. For each scene that we think is really far fetched, they come up with innovative little plot devices like the messages in T9 and the co-ordinates.

I think the scene with Michael's regret at the criminal things he has done was quite well done. And was probably just included to show the laydee's he's really a "teddy bear" at heart! :rolleyes:

2 episodes left til the break alright... absolutely brillant first half to the season. I keep thinking how difficult it must have been for the writers to keep coming up with something to keep the show fresh and innovative in it's second season but they really have given us an outstanding follow up to a fantastic first season. I wish all second seasons could be this good!

Anyways.. gets a 9 / 10 for me.

PS - "Cleveland Steamer?".. one of the filthiest bits of dialogue / innuendo in PB in a long time!

Loved the episode thought it was brilliant!
Just the way everything is going and is really is buliding up to be one hell of a climax
- id say the last episode before the break will be the race for the plan kinda thing

darraghw - the original nitro was found in the episode where michael goes to the garden place and pretends to be a worker there so he can dig up the nitros but it is swarming with cops - loved the way he looked at the ground and see all the fag buts from the "photographer" and he coped!

think sara is going to survive. kellerman doesnt want to kill her! the call might come considering linc was talking to smiley scary guy after killing the guy at the house! call might come from him to say that linc is still alive. or else he will spot the key.

you know the way the mexican guy gave him 2 places for the plane to land - he told him to forget about the first one and the plane would be .....where ever it was. i bet they go to the wrong one. i can see Linc and Michael's dad getting a bullet from mahone!

and finally...sorry for ranting....when michael was going on about how he watched someone die when he was young, i bet you his father was there and when it all started or something. something there will happen. was strange how he just brought it up!

I Love This Show!!!

do you think the writers will keep it going? they are only scheduled till the end of this season??
