[Movie] Prison Break (Season 2 Discussion Thread)

Damn, I'd say that was the best episode so far this season. Every storyline was good, with a level of suspense that was definitely up to par with last season. If they keep this up, this season might turn out to be just as good as the last, and going by the preview for next week, they just might.

I especially loved T-Bag's story. Everything he did was great, from lying his way out of that situation with the car, to falling back into his old habits by trying to get with that guy's daughter. Awesome.

As for that bald guy, I don't think anything about him has been touched on yet. If I had to take a guess though, I think he might not have anything at all to do with Scofield. I think he might have something to do with an old case of Mahone's, maybe someone else who got away or something. I don't know, but it'll all probably be explained in the next few episodes.

EDIT: Oh snap, Acro-nym beat me to it.

As for Bellick and Geary, I don't think they were trying to kill Michael and Lincoln, they were just trying to run them off the road, which they did.

How ya doing, buddy?

This episode was awesome. It was a lot better than last week's. Too bad the chick had to turn on Michael. ;_; But she aided in reasserting the brothers' awesomeness.

GERMAN ENGINEERING.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Man I've missed every episode this season so far.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I heard there is this thing called the Internets Hitler. I know you are too busy with the Jews though.

Check out this sweet part, although it is sped up way to fast.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

NOOOO!! They killed Abruzzi! One of the few I really wanted to get away. For a moment I though he was going to kill himself, but his actual reaction was much better! Ummm... Maybe I missed it but... how did the FBI know that he was there?

It was nice the way the depicted T-Bag... I mean, he's trying not to get caught yet he can't resist and behaves like... T-Bag. I was hoping they'd show the fight between him and the other guy, though.

What about Tweener? Is the girl just trying to fool him or is that serious? Is *someone* on their way to get him?

I couldn't help but laugh at Geary's reaction as he returns with the tire to the shack and sees what happened! Haha!

This episode didn't end with any cliffhanger... huh. What was that about?

FELIPE NO

In Abruzzi's case, he died because he turned his back on God. Foolish mortal. Oh, that and the FBI set him up through some guy in the mob that didn't want to do time.

In Tweener's case, I think the girl really is naive enough to not notice anything suspicious. I'm actually surprised that when she started acting nervous, he kept his cool. I probably would've snapped.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The Abruzzi death was superb. He really was one of the best characters, but I actually think the coolness factor was heightened by him not being on-screen all the time. It's what you don't know about his mob boss reach and such that makes him such a fascinating character, and I think it's better that they killed him with all that left up to our imaginations.

There's not many times where a character I like has been killed off and I've not felt a bit irritated about it, but on this occasion I'm glad he had such an exit. Better than some scummo like Tbag axing him in the back of the head or something, which to be honest I thought would end up happening. Not specifically of course, but I was expecting Tbag to ultimately catch up with him and off him.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh man, that was a good episode! Abruzzi's death was somewhat predictable, but a really nice twist from the obvious outcome we were being directed towards. I'm kinda saddened by how they ended Scofield's relationship with Nika, she was so hot! Heh, I also wonder how Bellick is gonna get out of that predicament, as I'm sure that won't be the last time we see him.

Also, what's with the old man picture at the end? I don't remember ever seeing that character before... Perhaps that will be Scofield's next step, disguising himself as a senior. They were certainly hinting that at the end, how they kept flipping between the pictures of Scofield and that old man.

Oh, so I missed the first 2 episodes and I was wondering, what happend to Sucre and C-Note? As I haven't seen them appear at all in the 3rd episode.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They've pretty much been focusing on different sets of characters in each episode for the stories other than Michael and Lincoln. They had Sucre and C-Note featured pretty prominently last week, so this week they didn't use them at all, instead going back to Abruzzi and Tweener (T-Bag has been in pretty much every episode as well). Haywire is the only one they haven't had a story for yet.

As for their stories, Sucre went to New York to try to stop Maricruz's wedding to his cousin, but when he got there he found out it was in Vegas, not New York. And as for C-Note, he tried to get his family to come with him, but his wife was reluctant to do it, and even called the feds to report him. That's about it for now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I already asked this up above. Read the thread you post in.

Maybe this is because he doesn't know about Utah.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Like last season, Abruzzi was picked off early and them made his return later. I wouldn't be surprised if he came back later in Season 2.

OH WHAT? He was shot several times by many automatic weapons. Fuck that. He'll be back. Just gotta believe. Same goes with Tony in 24. BELIEVE.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

He was pretty much confirmed dead at the end of the episode, he wont be coming back.

When I was re-watching Season 1, I promised my self I wouldn't fall for their damn tricks like this, but this one was like perfect there was no way anyone could have not fell for it. R.I.P. Abruzzi.

FELIPE NO

But still, they should have some type of follow-up on him. He's the craziest guy of the bunch, and he's just riding around freely? I'm sure they can think of some kind of wacky adventure for him to be in! And I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Silas Weir Mitchell said he was going to be in season 2, so it's just a matter of time before he comes back.

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah you will see him, riding by on a bike in the distant corner of some shot while a scene is following some other character. LOL

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Shit, this season just keeps getting better and better. Just like last week, they had another great, suspenseful episode that got me out of my seat more than a few times.

First, more T-Bag <3. Seriously, he's like the best character on the show in my opinion. He's just so...slimy, that you just love to hate him. Everything he did on the show tonight got me excited in some way, and I can't wait for more scenes with him. Someone needs to get Robert Knepper an Emmy already.

Michael and Lincoln were great this week as well. Definitely some good action scenes (attacking that guy at the store, manhandling T-Bag and Tweener). It'll be great to see what Michael plans to get the money now that it's not that easy to get to.

Mahone is starting to get annoying, mainly because of this drug thing. I understand them wanting to make him more than just a Scofield clone, but it just seems like they could do it in a better way.

Next week looks like it's gonna be just as good as tonight's episode was, so I can't wait for that. Man, this season started off a little slow, but now its definitely gotten way better, just as good as season 1.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

YEah so what drugs were those?

And even though Tbag is a sweet charracter, I don't think Knepper deserves an emmy at all.

How did C-Note escape from that trap a couple of episodes ago?

I'm not sure, but I think he said Midazolam or something like that hen he was talking to the dealer.

I definitely think Robert Knepper should win an Emmy for best supporting actor. If they can give one to William Shatner (whose only good acting now is actually making people believe he can act), they should definitely give one to him.

I think it had to do with the porch light he mentioned to his daughter. He told her to have her mom turn it on by seven or whatever, so that he would know that she's going along with him. But when he went there, the light wasn't on, because his wife was talking to that FBI agent, so that's probably when he just decided to go after the money instead.

I was speaking idiomatically.

But he saw the lights come on. I remember because he turned back, saw them, and had a smirk on his face. Maybe he did run after that, but I don't see the logic.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh, well then I don't know. Maybe he just did that so he could get confirmation from her that she still wanted to be with him, and then once he got the money he planned to come back and take her and their daughter away to Mexico or something. Otherwise, he would have just took the money for himself and then left. That's the only thing I can think of that makes sense.

Most amazing jew boots

I hope it'll be explained. Too often things like this just get blown over and never referenced again.

He could have at least gotten a car from his house...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Finally got around to watching this awesome episode. Lotsa wow here.

When he was talking to his wife on the phone, it was "in code." When the FBI listened in on the call, the assumed it was some restuarant or something that matches the description perfectly. Towards the end of the episode, the camera showed what he was really referring to (rainbow in his kid's room, then a photograph, and a location in that photograph). It was a nice play. And the plan was to meet in a week (or two?). So he's off on this trip for now I guess.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So, the plan was to meet in a week? Okay. He'll come back (if he's able) and get arrested. That should be fun.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hmm. Yeah, holy crap. They're fucked. Tonight was an intense episode, so intense I'm almost overwhelmed by their complicated situation. But, damn, the feds are right on their asses. Convenient that the whole crew is back together again, sans german engineering, crazy guy, and now white boy.

I also just don't buy that Asian being such a high-ranking official in the U.S. government, working directly for the President now. So I call bullshit on that. Otherwise, quite a fine, fine episode.
