Why is it on another break after this episode?

If so, I can guess why as it ends just as they break out!

Obviously you have been living on another planet or something

Theres a writer strike on in America and they dont have any more episodes written or filmed to air at this stage so they can only show what they have until the strike ends and they get filming again but thats gonna take a while so it probably wont be on till next september if it even makes it back with the poor ratings its getting this season

One of the best episodes of the season.

Probably the first time I've ever seen an episode where every other line of dialogue wasn't hokey, cheesey, spelling it out for the mentally deficient... in other words, this was comparable to Lost!

Not much happened really, but the factioning off of the escapees brilliant. Mahone seems to be the new good guy


Anyone still think that Whistler might not be 100% genuine? Seemed pretty convincing as another victim, but given what's gone on in the past, I still have my doubts.

Don't really care what happens to Sucre, I'd imagine he makes a break for it in the chaos and confusion of the break out.

Really quite excellent, much better than what I've come to expect from Prison Break.

there is another episode scheduled for next week and the week after according to myepisodes.com

great episode tbh not much else to say really.

oh yeh what did gretchen (susan) cut off with the cigar cutter? was it fingers? yet you see linc attending to her shoulder, they just slice the skin? that's pretty wussy for a big bad company.

Enjoyable episode, looks like they're finally getting out. There were some great lines in this one. According to Wikipedia, there's still another 2 episodes to go.

I have a feeling that McGrady (this season's Tweener) will be hurt or killed during the escape, giving Michael something else to agonize about.

Yup, I reckon there's still more to him that he's letting on. We'll find out soon enough.

I thought she burned her?

Creamy Goodness

ahh that would make sense actually.

A great episode, but I thought they had only made 12 of the episodes, so that would make next weeks the 12th and final episode?

Susan / Gretchen burned Sofia with the lit cigar, that was all.

Whistler is a puzzler, is he really innocent and we just keep getting the wrong impression of him?

Sucre, I'm betting he will either get thrown into Sona and Michael and Linc find out after the escape, or he gets away with the running about of the escape.

Susan / Gretchen, wonderfully bitchy. I hope she gets her come-uppance, and it's good.

One things I'm wondering about... remember Linc and Sucre made that recording of the bullet shots? What were the plans for that? I wonder if they abandoned their tac for it or whether it still has a part to play in the escape?

Great episode. I think Sucre will make his escape the same time as the inmates. Knock out that guard and then walk out unnoticed.

Also what about the cooler box Linc buried at the beach with something from the diving shop, still have to find out what that was all about.

i dont understand something.....

The whole point of them trying to get whistler out of prison was so he could bring them to the co-ordinates that he brought some guy to and the company want to know where, right?

Well if thats the case, why was he about to hand over the co-ordinates to the bitch in this episode. Surely if he does that they no longer need him or any of the others and therefore its finished.

Am I missing something, or do they need more than the co-ordinates from Whistler?

Yeah I wondered the same thing. Surely they need something other than just the co -ordinates from him.

Great episode, probably the best this season. 10/10

First of all, the whole scene with Sophia getting burned with the cigar was set up (not with Sophia's knowledge obviously). Remember Sucre told Susan that Michael was having doubts about Whistler? So what do they do, they liken his plight to that of what Michael was trying to do before Sara got her head chopped off. They played on his weakness so Michael would think Whistler was doing all of this for Sophia.

Great episode, there has been too little interaction between characters recently and there were a number of good conversations while digging. The whole tension in the build up to the final moment of the episode is this show @ its best.
The thing with threatening Sofia has to be to make Michael believe Whistler is a good guy, although he didn't seem fully convinced afterwards. I certainly ain't (They never showed what Sofia found in the suitcase!)
There's definitely more to the '30 second' window before the generator kicks in. Michael didn't argue much when he was moved down the exit queue, after the cave in on 'Dirt Nap' I wouldn't bet against him letting the front runners being decoys.
Ongoing gripe, wasn't Susan / Gretchen supposed to be dead woman walking if 'Bang and Burn' failed? We haven't seen or heard her superior(s) since.

According to tv.com, there are 2 more episodes.
Sorry for going off topic but would love to know the answer: assuming there are 2 more episodes RTE will be showing Champions League action on 19/02, leaving room for 1 US show @ 22:00. Will they hold PB over for 1 week or ditch the Housewives?

Yeah you could be right, he definitley doesn't want Lechero, Bellick and T-Bag to escape, I bet he is going to drop them in it.

That's right, Baldy General Guy threatened to to do all sorts of terrible things to her if that didn't work out.

Well, I had read that only 12 episodes were made, I don't know. I guess any plot points we are mulling over will all be resolved on Tuesday, unless they were planned to be part of a later episode that the writers haven't written yet.

Do you think if the strike ends soon that they will carry on series 3, or will they just call it series 4 picking up where it left off? What direction will series 4 take?

Well according to radiotimes.com they are ditching both of them! Extended UEFA CL highlights instead. By my maths that means RTE will show 3X13 "The Art of the Deal" (season 3 'finale') on 26/02, 1 day after Sky One.

Wow, 13 episodes in and Sky One finally get ahead of RTÉ, albeit by one day. And it's the last episode of the series. Heh heh. Damn the football.

Crap only 13 episodes! Will there be another season?

They better!

I doubt that the escape, the getaway, the rescule of LJ, the revenge on Susan/Gretchen, the revelation of the identity of The Company and the revelation of the identity of Whistler will all happen in the next 2 episodes. Or will it...?

Killaqueen!!!

^ They would be an amazing 2 episodes! Didn't realise this season was nearly over. Have still been watching it but have been keeping quiet on here cos I don't want to be a big moanbag! This was a decent enough episode though!

podge018

What is the difference between Whistler not giving Gretchen the coordinates, and giving her half of them. Effectively he gave her nothing and she was happy with the deal. wtf?
