That's a horrible way to escape.

PhantomStranger

This is a show that would have been a bigger hit on a different network. Put it on Fox and it would likely draw better ratings than Alcatraz.

Other than how lucky she was able to shit herself at just the right time (allergy/laxative explanation be damned), that her guards were stupid enough to stop (I get the stink but deal with it 'til you hand her over), uncuff her, and leave her alone while uncuffed, I eenjoyed the episode overall.

That said, I was confused about the kidnapped girl. Damien mentioned her dad and nothing was made of that plot point afterward. Was that just a random taunt?

Fist of Doom

That whole sequence was stupid. At the very least, the female guard should have stayed just outside the stall. The writers are usually creative with the breakouts, but maybe they've run out of ideas.

Decent episode, but I missed the Lloyd comic relief.

PhantomStranger

In real life there is no way one of the guards would not have stood right outside her stall. They had already broken protocol by allowing an unscheduled stop.

Breakout Kings was developed by FOX for the 2010-11 season. It tested very well with focus groups and was reportedly almost a certainty to get picked up, but they passed on it in favor of Lonestar. And we know how that turned out.

PhantomStranger

I thought it felt like a Fox show. The show could have been very generic but they seemingly picked the right actor for each role.

Probably one of the grossest ways to escape from prison.

Yeah I agree it was a little absurd about the timing Emmy was able to shit in her pants so close to that particular rest stop. The guards were stupid the way they handled securing her.

For those who don't remember her...this week's con Emmy was also a Prison Break alumni. Camille Guaty played Sucre's girlfriend Maricruz. And as you know the Producers of this show were showrunners on Prison Break.

A little disappointed Emmy had Richard Branson kill her lover at the end.

I didn't understand that either. For a second, I thought he kidnapped Ray's daughter until they revealed that whole sequence was in Philadelphia.
