Prison Break---"Dirt Nap"---1/21/08

Photobucket

Only 3 more episodes left after Monday's episode.

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Michael heads back to shore up the escape tunnel, and T-Bag enlists Bellick to display his gladiatorial skills once again as the battle between Lechero and Sammy for control of Sona comes to a head. Meanwhile, in Panama City, Linc does a computer search on "Gary Miller," and Sucre has two meetings with Susan B.

So is somebody going to die tonight (not just an extra? )? Or is that just more clever episode titling? Enjoyed last week's ep, sucks there's only 3 more.

Wow, this episode was quite good. Could it be that this show is finally getting back into proper form? Last week's was decent, but this was so much better. I hope it continues, it felt as good as any episode from seasons 1 and 2.

Why two weeks until the next one? Are they going to stretch these last three episodes out?

Good episode. Even though some of you hate her, I absolutely love that psycho bitch Susan B Anthony (aka Gretchen). I cannot wait until Michael and her finally face off.

Anyone notice that Mahone's drug addiction withdrawal symptoms have miraculously disappeared? That's more ridiculous writing considering he ingested what looked like Black Tar Heroin.

Sugar ain't too bright.

What was the deal when they went looking for tools, were invited to watch the fight and have a beer, and then all the sudden they scurried like rats telegraphing that they were up to no good (and why bring Michael with them just to get tools)?

Dude, it's Prison Break... if it sounds/looks/seems ridiculous, that's because it probably is. Just roll with it.

Best (read:worst) line delivery of the episode - Gretchen calling Sucre a jackass. If she yelled that to me I would just laugh at her. I don't find that actress very menacing at all.

But she SQUINTS HER EYES! And scowls! Which is SOOOO frightening!!

I did laugh, though, when she said Maricruz lived at "123 please don't hurt me lane."

I know - but that just seem ridiculously stupid by Prison Break standards. It practically begged for Mahone to scream out "The jig is up!"

Great episode!

Sucre has done the most stupid things in all seasons of Prison Break. he's a useless fuck !

Loved the Sammy revolution and retaking of power with Sammy and his henchmen's bodies being rolled off the balcony

how ironic is it for Bellick to have to beg Teabag for a place in the escape

I don't have an answer as to why Michael went to get the tools, but they ran away because the door to the basement is in the back of Lechero's suite. So they come out the back of the suite, see a bunch of Lechero's (really Sammy's, but they didn't know about the coup) henchmen standing about who don't know about the escape but who do know that they shouldn't be there and they beat a hasty retreat.

I don't think there would be any reason for those three guys to be up in Lechero's back room.

Well, how long does withdrawal typically last for, and is it consistent, or does it come in waves? He'd been off it since he got to Sona, then only used a few times (didn't we only see him shoot up once?), and then went straight into custody outside the prison.

I don't have an answer as to why Michael went to get the tools, but they ran away because the door to the basement is in the back of Lechero's suite. So they come out the back of the suite, see a bunch of Lechero's (really Sammy's, but they didn't know about the coup) henchmen standing about who don't know about the escape but who do know that they shouldn't be there and they beat a hasty retreat.
They went to get the tools because they couldn't break boards to the right size any more by hand, and given that they were doing what looked to be some fairly intricate framing work, them needing tools isn't exactly a stretch. Even though it hasn't been brought up in the past couple episodes, they are still on a time limit, so any delay while waiting for tools puts LJ's life in danger.

As for why they ran, it was the combination of the fact that they knew they weren't supposed to be up there and the overly friendly nature of Lechero's goons. Even before the coup, it was no secret that Lechero didn't want to be seen helping Michael. Even as recently as last week's episode, he looked around before handing Michael the cell phone.

I'm shocked he's still alive. He's been worthless for like two seasons now and this show kills characters left and right.

I have to give this show credit for being so watchable despite being so ridiculous and limited in terms of story possibilities.

the dude is terrible about managing his own life and family, but he's pretty good at helping others.

I would guess that one is being saved for Michael. Or maybe his brother.
