Prison Break -- "Quiet Riot" -- 11/17/08

Photobucket

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


While Gretchen focuses on getting the sixth card and Lisa Tabak finalizes plans to move Scylla, the gang penetrates the room where Scylla is still located. But that's only half the battle. Meanwhile, Michael reluctantly agrees to see a specialist; and T-Bag's boss at GATE makes him a tempting offer.

This season is awesome. I don't think i've ever been so steady and quiet watching Sucre set up that rig. This show is badass when it keeps the pace moving. And every preview just seems to keep upping the ante.

Awesome episode. Total edge of your seat entertainment. I feel like this season has been a roller coaster ride and I love every second of it.

The scene where Michael, Linc, Mahone and Sucre were breaking in to get Scylla was so intense and the fact that there was no dialogue made the scene even better.

I was surprised that Michael didn't see that last security measure on Scylla coming. He just picked it up without any hesitation.

I was not surprised at all about the revelation about The General and Gretchen especially after they sucked face a few weeks ago. They seem like a match made in Hell.

Something tells me he did that on-purpose. He needs that sixth card somehow, what better way to get it then to have it come to him.

Awesome episode, the preview for next week looks amazing too, I have no idea how they'll get out of it.

And I bet that "something" was the preview for next week's episode?

The no dialogue part was gutsy. Well done.

I've watched this show from the very beginning and I'll miss it if and when it goes. With that said, I hope they end it soon...on a high note.

Now that I think about it, you are probably right. Since Gretchen's school girl plan failed, there really was no other way to get the card without a direct confrontation with The General.

Can't wait for next week. Getchen in a schoolgirl outfit was hot. Didn't realized she was that big though -- taller and almost bigger than The General.

If I were the General, and I received a cell phone pic of someone in that particular pose, my first thought would be: "Who the hell took that picture?" My next thought would be: "Oh shit, I bet this is a trap." Even for a show like Prison Break, that was pretty sloppy.

Still love this show, though. It's a very entertaining escape from reality.

great episode! This is one of my favorite shows on TV and will miss it when it is gone

These guys should go on extreme home makeover - they could finish the whole project before the sun goes down.

He knew, that's why he didn't bring his card.

Yup, he suspected that it was a trap.

I thought it was Lisa that told him not to bring the card.

That's what I was thinking too, but the way his character has been developed, I would have assumed he would have just sent someone (an assassin) in his place to take her out. Why take the chance of getting offed? He may have known it was a set-up, but I really don't believe he would have gone into a situation like that knowing that she wasn't alone and either A) wanting his card or B) waiting to have someone jump out and kill him.

I need to stop overthinking this stuff--especially with this particular show.

Another great episode. Didn't Gretchen used to have a scar on her face? Or did she go to the same laser surgery that removed Michael's tattoos in one treatment?

I'm finding the inconvinient brain tumor a bit of a shark hop. It really weakens the show for me.

When they were so close to Scylla, honestly they would have been better off with a smash and grab and have silenced automatic weapons to shoot their way out. It's not like the company can call the cops or anything
