Prison Break: The Art of the Deal

Well I just hate when seasons end. Especially when they end like this. I was really hoping that everyone would be able to have a somewhat happy ending, because I am worried that FOX wont pick PB up for another season. If this is the last episode ever, I will be very very upset. I wont be upset about the show ending, even though I do love it, I will be very upset if they end it and they never tie up all the loose ends. I will be ok with them ending the series, as long as they do it right.

The Trade: Very impressive. I just love all of Michael’s plans. How dramatic and awesome was it when he bashed his elbow into the display case? I loved it. It was very smart of him to work it out so Whistler would get stopped by the guards on the way out.

Lincoln: Well look who officially has a soft spot for Sophia. And she was very willing to head across to stick with our boys instead of the Whistler/Gretchen combo. I wish he would have tried harder to convince Michael to quit chasing Gretchen, but at the same time, he can’t make those decisions for Michael either.

Michael: How touching was that moment when LJ gave him the folded flower. That was probably the most meaningful moment of the season. I love when they flashback to the Sara days, I love it. I hate that she is dead. I really wish there was some way for there to be a way for her to still be alive somewhere. Wishful thinking I know…

He hesitated and couldnt kill Gretchen….does MSco have the revenge killer in him?

Sucre: Oh Sucre. I am so glad that he didn’t give up any information about the boys. But I really didn’t want him to end up in Sona either. I know this isn’t the show of happy endings, but I am too much of a romantic for all these torn up couples. I just want him to be able to go home to Maricruz and the baby. Where are we on the PB timeline anyways? How old would that baby be? It would be maybe late 2005 or early 2006? I am not positive. That would be interesting to figure out.

Mahone: He sure threw me for a loop. I really thought he had crossed over to be a good guy. I guess old habits die hard.

Sona: T-Bag, Bellick, Lecharo, etc….WHO CARES!!! I don’t care that Lecharo is dead. I don’t care that T-Bag is working out a plan. I really don’t care. Grrrr. I am sick of Sona and all the power games.

My big beef with this episode was how they were promoting an appearance by someone we never thought we would see. I assume that would have to be the nun. WHO CARES??!?!?! Ahhhh.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the episode, but I really think it would have been a much better appearance if it was someone we really never would have expected to see. Kellerman…Mr Kim…C-Note…Maricruz….see what I mean?

Thoughts? I guess Season 4 (maybe?) will follow Michael on a hitman mission following Gretchen and getting ready to kill her.

Prison Break: Hell or High Water

More Hell or High Water photos at my favorite spoiler website…

FINALLY! I have been waiting all season for Prison Break to be this good again. I know its good when I find myself talking to the tv and getting nervous during the commercials. (Don’t make fun of me…I know I am a big dork.) But episodes like this is what make me love this show.

Lincoln: Well this was definitely the episode of Lincoln wasn’t it? We got to see Linc be the brains this time. And it was quite impressive. The water escape, the fake gunshots at the cabin.(I had totally forgotten about the fake gunshots) I was so impressed with him and was loving the whole escape. He even got to do some defensive driving and it was awesome to watch. I almost wish I would have taped this episode because its one I feel I could watch again this week. But it was also the episode of Lincoln being an ass. I understand that Mahone killed his father, but he was quite a jerk to him the whole time…

Mahone: Since I am on the topic of Mahone, how impressive has his personality turned around? He is willing to help and always being nice to everyone. I am really starting to like him and then Linc goes and freaks on him. Which I suppose is on purpose to get the audience all riled up. They know we are softys and will start to root for Mahone. Also…is he off his drug addiction now? I am confused. I hope that Lincoln doesn’t actually end up killing him.

Whistler: Was he faking that ankle injury the whole time? Or did he just happen to jump out of the window with a bad ankle no problem and run off to some random truck that just happened to be there? That slow-mo jump of his and the slow-mo jump of Lincoln were pretty great. Does he really have more contact with The Company than we think? Also…it was nice Susan Beeotch/Gretchen went out and bought some new lipstick for the escape…redonkulous.

McGrady: Poor kid. I just hope that everything works out for him. I kind of wonder why they didn’t take him into downtown Panama with them and then he could have caught a bus or something to a different city and met up with his dad elsewhere. Its not like they are going to be able to live in the same town as Sona anyways. So why split paths. They should have agreed to meet in a week or something. Hopefully he will be able to get past the road block. But with the way his Dad was able to pull it out and come to everyone’s rescue with the boat I am kind of hoping that he will be able to figure out a way to hide the kid before the police see him.

Michael: Next week looks pretty intense for Michael…we will have to see…can he actually kill Susan Beeotch/Gretchen to avenge Sara’s death?

Sucre: no no no No No NO NO NO NO. Do NOT put Sucre in SONA!!!! He needs to go live happily with Maricruz!

Bellick: I am pretty sure both Bellick and Lecharo are going to die next week. Thoughts?

T-Bag: Geez. Talk about a torture! But I know that he will be able to make it through…obviously he has the book and so that will come into play in the future. Maybe Sucre will be able to get it from him in Sona?

And now on to the sad news. Rumor on the street is that Prison Break might actually be done for good next week. I really really hope that they will at least finish out the show for real. I don’t really think they would need another season, but at least I want them to close out all the storylines this season if it is ending. I want Linc and LJ and Michael to be able to have that dive shop on the beach.

What did you think of tonights episode? What do you think will happen next week? What do you think is the future of the show?

Prison Break: Under and Out

This was a great episode. I loved it!

Director (Greg Yataines) & Director of Photography (Jeffrey C Mygatt) – I don’t pay too much attention to which directors direct which episodes, but these guys get two thumbs up from me. The filming was quick and tight. There were more up close facial shots and that helps the viewers connect with the characters and anticipate the drama on a more intimate level. I kept noticing it  in every conversation. It was very very well used.  Nice work Greg & Jeff.

Michael – “You want out? GET OUT!” I love it when Michael gets all fired up. He’s been much too pensive lately, I was glad to see him get fired up once in a while. I really don’t blame him for being tired of this. He never knew when he came up with the idea to save Linc’s life that it would come to all of this. I couldn’t believe he didn’t even flinch when Whistler used Sara’s name.

Lincoln & Sofia –  This boy has a soft spot for those brunettes. I am interested to see where Sofia’s allegiance will lie when Whistler gets out of Sona. I really am not the biggest fan of Sofia, but its about time Linc had some love. I was always pissed that he didn’t even barely get to kiss Veronica in Season 1. Don’t you think if your ex-boyfriend was on death row you would give him some good kisses worth remembering? Anyways…that doesn’t matter anymore…sorry for the tangent.

Whistler –  There was some emotion, some action. I am much more impressed with Whistler tonight than ever before. Unless its some sort of act he’s putting on, I actually am officially on his side now and I trust him.

Sucre – He is screwed. Yeah he’s gonna end up in Sona himself. Crap.

T-Bag – Quoting scripture? Hmm.  He was sufficiently creepy and awesome. Which I love. Anytime he gets that creepy snakelike tongue thing going it just freaks me out…and its perfect for his character!

Bellick – He is always so desperate for an alliance. He’s like the kid on the playground that no one will do the see-saw with. Poor guy. Always looking for something.

Mahone – I was impressed with him. Keeping the group together. Not willing to be a part of any of TBag or Bellick’s alliances. Not wanting to go up the tunnel ahead of Michael. I think he may have learned something

McGrady – Takes some guts to throw all the American stereotypes at Michael. Geez. I am glad that he is getting out, but I am worried about him as well. Just like Michael. But so far I would rather have him get out instead of  T-Bag or Lechero.

Gretchen – What a beeeeeeeotch. She still can’t hold this character but it was stronger tonight than in some episodes. I think that might have had something to do with the tight camera angles. Although finally some things are going to happen. Honestly. And it was pretty rough of her to burn Sofia like that.

My predictions for the Excape:

Escapees: Michael, Whistler, McGrady, Mahone

Deaths: Bellick, Lecharo

Still in Sona: T-Bag, Sucre

Prison Break: Dirt Nap

Tonight it’s going to be short…but first things first. Michael Scofield is in a new shirt??? Dont they know what the viewers want to see? Prison break outs? yes…but MSco shirtless is top of the list! 😉 haha…

So Susan Beeotch/Gretchen is smarter than I gave her credit for. She knew about the set up fight between Sucre and Linc. I still think she’s a terrible bad guy. Also Sucre does tend to make some dumb mistakes…why not cash the check and mail it Sucre??? COME ON!

I am sick of watching the power games at Sona. Who cares who runs Sona. I feel like this back and forth Sona/Lecharo/Sammy/T-Bag etc etc etc all of it is getting old. I am so ready for everyone to break out so we can see something new.

Also finally we are getting some more information with Whistler – or at least we know that we will be getting more information. And interesting that Sophia seems to be falling for Lincoln. Hmm. 🙂 Bout time that boy got some love…

Looks like Michael still has his heart. He still doesnt want to hurt people. I am glad to see that he is still the same character we all know so well…will he really be able to kill Susan for Sara’s revenge?

Any other thoughts? What did everyone else think of the episode? I am ready for some new scenery and information…

Prison Break: Boxed In

Oh I am just so incredibly happy to have Prison Break back on television! Come on FOX & Writers! You can work it out. Do it for the brothers! Do it for LJ! Do it in memory of Sara!!!! Please!

Thoughts on tonight…

Whistler– Seriously I wish we had some more clues as to what he actually knows that The Company wants from him. We haven’t had any hints of anything since way back when they had the bird book. What exactly does he know? I don’t trust him. And it makes me feel bad for Sophia too because she genuinely seems out of the loop. I really hope the writer’s have something at the end of this storyline that is believable, because I can see it being a giant letdown.

Sucre– Well I have to say I totally called it. It was SOOO obvious that the fight that he and Lincoln had in the hotel lobby was intentionally to be overheard. How can Susan B/Gretchen not see right through that? Maybe she doesnt own the Season 1 and 2 dvds like I do….kidding….

The General/Torturing– I have to say I think that the torture was a little downplayed. You would think they would keep Michael in the solitary box a lot longer. And why was the General so easily swayed. So we know Michael was telling him the truth, but why would he believe Michael? Also, wouldnt they try to get more information from Susan B/Gretchen? I feel like the whole having her strapped in and sprayed with water was not very effective. So she’s been tortured before…does this mean the general wouldnt be able to get any more out of her?

Susan B/Gretchen– Hello little hidden knife in my belt lady. Who do you think you are? 007? Honestly. Why would they have ever even let her out of the car with them? Why would they have even let her come in the car in the first place? The General wasn’t very good at any of this…

LJ– That kid is going to need some serious counseling. He had to hear stupid beeotch Susan B cut off Sara’s head. It makes me sad just to type that.

T-Bag & Bellick – Looks like T-Bag is still just pulling all the strings in the background as usual. I really love Robert Knepper as an actor, but they need to give T-Bag a little more this season. I miss his nasty yet really funny character. Bellick is getting a larger part. I am looking forward to next week after the previews to see if he really does throw down a chicken foot with Sammy. What would happen if both Lechero and Sammy were killed? Something tells me that this may put T-Bag right where he wants to be….in power. Hmm? Agree? Disagree?

Revenge– Michael going after Gretchen to avenge Sara? Will Michael be able to actually kill someone? Because through all of this…all three seasons…he has always been the good guy having to do bad things to help people. Will he really have the ruthlessness and anger to be able to kill for Sara? I really don’t know anymore. I think he is much less innocent and sure of himself as he was in season 1. Which makes sense since he doesn’t have all the answers. (Like T-Bag says “Lets see if he has a tattoo to get himself out of this one”) He has been sort of flying by the seat of his pants for the last two seasons. Where can he go? Who has he become? If he kills Gretchen does that make him just as bad as The Company?

Also…Michael Scofield speaks spanish???? What?

Prison Break: Tonight it’s BACK!!!

source

FINALLY! Something decent to watch on television! Honestly this writer’s strike is going to make me crazy. I have been in serious denial without The Office, Prison Break and Chuck keeping me entertained every week.

And guess what! It’s coming back and its going to be better than ever! I am so excited!

***Spoilers!***

Check out this interview with Kristin from E! and Dominic Purcell…

Hey! Thanks so much for calling, Dom. How were your holidays?
They were great. I went to Paris to promote Prison Break, went to London, and in the meantime, I was saving babies’ lives…

Yeah, what is up with that? What happened?
My brother and I were traveling to the west coast of Ireland to surf, and we saw this lady on the side of the road screaming and freaking out. We pulled over, and she was holding her baby, and her baby was blue and not breathing and choking, obviously. And my brother and I did CPR, the whole nine yards, and it survived.

That’s incredible. How do you know CPR?
I’ve got four kids. I’ve got to know that stuff. But what was really bizarre was after we brought the baby back to life, we were in some stranger’s house on the side of the road where we called the ambulance, and the person in the house wanted my picture and autographs…It was just bizarre. [Laughs] My brother and I are superheroes.

On- and offscreen, right?! Well, on behalf of all the Prison Break fans, bless you for being on a show that’s coming back on the air. We need something good to watch right now!
I know. It’s pretty bad, right?

Yeah, so what can you tell me about the five new episodes?
Expect a breakout—and you can expect the usual suspects attempting to break out with Michael. A few of them make it, and a few of them are left behind.

I hear Linc might be getting some action?
Well, that’s f–king news to me, because Lincoln has yet to be laid! There’s a whole lot of jesting going on, but no action.

Well, I’m hearing Sofia starts pulling away from Whistler and getting closer to you…
Yes, that’s true. I definitely think Linc has a soft spot for Sofia and, likewise, her…So, we’ll plant a few seeds as to what may happen between the two of them.

Word is you shot scenes on location in Florida, including some underwater stuff in the middle of the ocean. What was that like?
It was awesome. I loved it. And I’m gonna give you a little scoop. [Laughs] Wentworth and Bill Fichtner refused to go out there because they are scared of f–king sharks! But me and Whistler, Chris Vance, the two Australian he-men, decided we could deal with it, so we went out, and we were bobbing around in the middle of the Atlantic. It was fun. The water was warm, and apart from the occasional great white that came along, it was good.

You also have a big stunt scene involving a Panamanian bus that Lincoln commandeers…Are you the new Keanu?
I shot that in Dallas. It was a normal, crazy-ass stunt where Lincoln gets hold of a bus and crashes it through a bunch of telephone polls.

There’s a rumor the American woman who visits Michael this season is the subject of a spinoff called Cherry Hill. What do you think of that? Is a spinoff a good idea?
It depends who you talk to. If I talk to certain writers on the show, they’re like, “No, there’s no such thing.” And at one point they were trying to make it happen, but they couldn’t find the girl, so now Fox is done with that idea. So, it’s really up in the air.
