I liked it. Interesting that Mrs. Burrows/Schofield now has Scylla. Why the **** did they have to get rid of Gretchen :mad: Get rid of that idiot Don Self. Wow Don great insults at the end there.

Mmcd

Agreed - I hate Self, hes such an unlikable guy!

I thought as this series is going this wasnt that bad an episode at all!
8/10

I kept thinking Linc was gonna just shoot Self at that point, but alas, it did not happen . Self is really imaginative with his insults, isn't he? Glad to see the Company are portrayed as evil again, I would have hated the whole peace-loving good guys thing to turn out to be true after all this... Though what is Ma Scofield's agenda in all this is beyond me at this point... Great to see Mahone have Linc's back and go all law-man at the marina . Is Sucre really gone though just like that though? :eek:

Better settle in for the long haul now, no idea when exactly the show returns, but I'm guessing FOX will try to save up the final episodes for May sweeps .

However i was a bit sad the way it showed links mother holding scylla , i mean , the plot had to hit a twist, but as big and bs one as this?

There are another 7 shows left in this season but their airdate is unknown. Fox will most likely hold them back until sweeps in May.

Excellent this week. Don Self what a big man with the insults. :mad:

Just watched it there, fecking great episode. The twist at the end with their mother was genious thinking.

All right but possibly the best moment of this season occurred with Selfs insults. That was utter genius. I laughed so much.

Was hopeing Self would get shot,he should have been shot. Seriously when insane chick has a gun to your head don't keep calling her a whore,and her family a bunch of whores.

Also did anyone see the terrible stunt work when Sarah crashed into the buggy. You could clearly see the 2 company guys replaced by dummies. I didn't even have to pause it,you could clearly see it in real time.

I love Prison Break. Just the way they completely forget to explain how someone on the run with what seemed like no money or travel arrangements, manages to get to Miami no bother. :cool:

Good episode, didn't really feel like a fall finale though, episode 12 would of been better suited in my opinion

Self's "whore" soliloquy had me in stitches, I rewound it few times to watch it again, fecking priceless.
Just one question though:what did Scofield mean when he said to the shrink "A cigar is a cigar. Are we done?".

Nice play on Freud, Freud was a famous psychiatrist who had a lot of theories on what a lot of things mean, he had some ideas that every man wants to sleep with his mother (very cut down version there), but also said that sometimes things are just what they seem to be "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".

Q. What's the definition of a Freudian Slip?
A. It's when you say one thing but mean your mother.

Carry on...

And there was me thinking it was some sort of smutty joke about Monica Lewinsky.:)

I gave it an 8.. Can't believe their mother is still alive!! But.. I watched the promo for the episode on YouTube where the Company guy says 'Your mother is alive' so it was given away

This season has got to be as good as Season 2.. Only 6 episodes left.. I'll be sad when it's gone! Get Scylla over with! Haha:pac:

The one thing I hate about Sky 1 and American previews, they spoil the bloody thing before it starts. Sky 1's EPG info and voice-over before the show starts practically spoils every episode so I have to mute the TV before it starts.

Am I the only one who thought the reintroduction of Linc and Michaels mother a bit too far'fetched? I swear I'm beginning to think that the father isn't really dead, but instead there was a secret compartment in the pit where he was buried, Wyatt didn't really die either as he was saved by dophins, and the whole mastermind behind the Company and everything that happens is really C-Note!

Despite all that I'm as glued in as ever and can't wait for the next episode. Also dying to see how the season ends aswell.

Whats the deal with Sucre? When he got his ass handed to him by Gretchen she repoened his wound suffered by the gunshot but in episode 15 he was grand?? I think he'll be back, either to save Michael one more time or as a ghost like Obi-Wan in Star Wars.

Cheers Gavin for the link btw.

:pac:

No, you're not on your own. Her story is not believable. First they tell us in S1 that she died of liver cancer, in S4 it's magically changed without explanation to a brain tumour, and now she's alive and was working on Madagascar throughout this whole ordeal:rolleyes:

Also, earlier this Season, didn't Michael say that Linc was with her everyday in the hospital.. And that he watched her die? The writers need to start thinking before they write:P

And also, I hope Sucre makes some sort of a return, because his exit was way too lame for such an important character.

Still love PrisonBreak though:D

I honestly think a lot of the writers haven't even watched the show before this season. Can you imagine if got the same scrutiny lost tends to get from its fans. It best off it doesn't for all concerned.

how far fetched is it a man who recovered from brain surgery, with no visible scarring or bandages, up and walking around, having conversations, creating an elaborate trap to blow up a boiler, then going on a cross country sprint from machine gunners in a buggy?

absolutely ridiculous, hope they can wrap this season up at least half-well
