I loved the commercial for this I saw the other day...said something like, "You won't want to miss this week's Prison Break, where there will be so many twists and turns you won't know what's going on." Isn't that sort of the way the show's always been? Completely ridiculous twists every other scene?

Prison Break is so great. This season is spectacular. Truly edge of your seat material. This Season reminds me why I loved Prison Break so much at the start: it is different and constantly keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next. I cannot wait until next week.
I got a good laugh when Self tried to sell Scylla when it was missing a piece. Made his earlier statement of him being smarter than Michael pretty pathetic. And where does he get off saying Michael had something that belonged to HIM?! Michael saying "Come and get it" was cold...I loved it.
Next episode looks fantastic as well.

Really good episode.
My only little nitpick is when Self allowed the 'buyer' to walk away w/ Scyllia. He actually let him turn his back on him. What would have prevented the 'buyer' to give the order to shot both of them dead?

Why is Bagwell still holding Gretchen's family? Self is out trying to make a sale. Can't Bagwell just leave and then go try to be a motivational salesperson in another city?

I wondered too why T-Bag didn't just leave. I think part of him is holding out the hope that he can maybe make some money when Self sells Scylla, but I don't know why he would trust him. I understand why he didn't kill Self when Gretchen was there-because Gretchen was going to kill him earlier and him letting Self live at that point was neutralizing Gretchen. But once Self left, he should've just bolted, cut his losses, and saved his life. Moved to Mexico or something. Hooked back up with that one chick he met in Panama.

This episode rocked.
Loved it when Michael ended up screwing over Self with that missing chip. Even with the brain tumor, Michael is still the smartest character on the show.
Now I wonder if their will be any future ramifications for the death of Self's boss.
There are 3 more episodes left after tonight before it goes on an extended hiatus.

Isn't Gretchen supposed to be a badass mercenary?
Come on.. she could have snatched that gun - and killed a pencil pushing Home Land Security administrator any time when he was driving or when he was pointing the gun at anyone else.
I still love this show

I believe it's an aneurysm.
Great ep. Others have pointed out all the plot idiocies but I tend to overlook them for this show for some reason. I just want the action to continue. LOL.
Anyone else think that the daughter is going to take out the General at some point?

at the end of IGN's review of the esipode, they mention the ratings have been getting better over the past esipodes and if it continues, Fox will likely keep PB for season 5. Yes it would be more total bullshit but as everyone knows the whole series after season 1 is BS but its still great tv with amazing actors.
