prospect

Another okay episode, I'd give it a 6 if there was a poll.

What I can't understand is how 'lard ass' was able to lead Bellick to where Lincoln and Michael were waiting for their transport.

Also, who is the guy in the folder that Mahone knocked off the desk?

*oh yeah, why was the episode called SCAN?

fobs

Was a good enough episode if you dispendbelief and go with the flow. Think the guy in the folder was the guy that they used in the car for a body to be found and they hope that by the time the lab results show it was not them in the car they will be safe.
Unfortunately the FBI guy seems to be onto them and has them sussed.
no teabag in this episode who was missed. Also no real presidential influence this season either.

Didn't one of the other feds say he was someone else Mahone was after, but never caught?

They used the scan on the radio to set off the bomb, it was probably that.

I enjoyed this one. Still far from Season one quality though. Nice to see Kellerman back in the game.

Haven't a Clue

Hmm, there's still a lot of stuff botherin me. It's a lot more sloppy than s1.

For example, how the hell did Sucre manage to leg it into the field when the cop never really took his eyes of his car?

He followed Michael's "wife" (the one he agreed to marry so she could get the Green Card in exchange for helping him while he was in prison) and she led them to him.
Absolutley ridiculous as the feds would surely have been watching her 24/7 as they knew she was married to Michael.

He's a fugitive called Oscar Shales that Mahone tracked in his past. I don't want to give too much away as the Shales thing plays a part in future episodes.

Pretty good ep I thought if your suspension of disbelief threshold is somewhere near Mount Everest.
The stunt with faking their deaths seems a bit pointless, Mahone is far too savvy to be fooled like that.
Also how the hell did Michael get Lincoln to the wan's house so fast? He could barely walk at the end of the previous ep. Her place must have been right around the corner from where they were.

Heh-heh, a few people said the same on the US thread if I remember right. I think the copper took his eyes off him for a few seconds while he was on the radio. Very handy the way there was a massive field of barley right beside so the cop couldn't see him when he ran into it.

Welcome to fantasy land:

1 Michael and Lincoln happen to be near his ex-wife's apartment
2 No cops watching Michael's ex-wife's apartment
3 Police office doesn't see Sucre exit car despite continuously looking at the car
4 God bless slow moving trains and fast growing corn fields
5 Lincoln's wound miraculously healed after a bit of first aid


Some if it seemed a bit muddled, particular the body in Michael's car.

Mahone is good watch - what are those pen pills he loves??

I dont think i'd like it if Micheal had killed someone just so he had a body to use if he got out of prison with his brother. Plus if it was the guy Mahone never caught but Michael caught him and chopped him and shrink wrapped him for a later date.

I thought they were pigs bodies that Micheal and Linc used. No?

Jello

Where the **** is Haywire!?!

It was an allright episode I suppose. I thought it was stupid though how one minute Bellick was on top of Geary and the next they were buddies again.

Roll on next week, though I'll be hoping for a bit better.

Yeah from what I remember they used pig meat.

Was this mentioned in the episode? I cant remember...i'd much rather that scenario

Was it pig meat....just presumed it was the other guy in the folder....Can't see what relevance he had so.

I thought Bellick said "I told you lard ass would lead us to him" or something to that effect. (and i am assuming he is not referring to Holly.V as lard ass)

No, he said "Told ya the little whore would lead us right to him"
No way could you describe Holly's ass as "lardy"!

Phew, thank god for that. If he insulted Hollys ass, i'd hunt him down and kill him.

Interestingly, Holly was in Entourage this week aswell.

Killaqueen!!!

Was Prison Break always so stupidly unrealistic in season 1? Don't think so...

1. How is Linc's leg healed so quickly?
2. How did Lard ass lead them to where Linc and Michael were going?
-if it were Michael's wife than why weren't they watching her 24/7? And would lard ass realy know that much of the plan?
3. How did Michael's 'wife' know to meet them there?
4. How did Sucre conviently get away beside a corn field when the cop would have clearly seen him get out of the car?
5. How come Bellick and yer man are all pally now?
