I still can't figure out where Michael hid the security card after his conjugal visit. Hank took it to wherever he hid during the restaurant scene in Under the Gun. |

How great was last night's episode! What a jam-packed episode in terms of plot.
I can't believe Michael's brother is in the shoe. The one person that's the reason for the whole escape! And you can't really put it off, I think his execution is scheduled for any day now.
And killing the plane guy! (Sorry, names are not my strong suit). I sure hope he has already booked the plane (but likely not, as they haven't set a date for the escape).
Finally, I can't believe that teabag will probably get to go now, as there is room for him! If no one finds out he did the murdering, he'll be part of the escape team.
Loved the suit as plug (although I guessed he'd try water before I even knew there was a "tap"). It's the perfect way to go up several stories.
Possibly the best episode so far.

A few random thoughts on last night's episode.
No Quinn! I hope we haven't seen the last of him. Maybe the less evil of the evil twins (sorry, can't remember his name) will notify someone of Quinn's predicament, since he seems to be developing a conscience.
With Nick in the hospital, does that mean Veronica will go to meet with the guy on her own? Surely she'll screw it up. Really, the woman is so dim, I wonder how she ever passed the bar exam.
T-Bag kills Abruzzi -- after Abruzzi lets him live. Just goes to prove that no good deed goes unpunished. At least that solved the problem of the extra man in the escape plot, but will they still get the plane Abruzzi was supposedly arranging?
Linc must have been suicidal to attack that guard. Couldn't he have come up with a better delaying tactic?
Have I mentioned that I absolutely love the fact that Frank Grillo is playing an appellate defense lawyer? I'll even overlook the fact that the only thing that resembles real appellate defense work is the boxes of documents that (I think) were blown up at Veronica's apartment a few episodes ago.

Out of curiosity, I took a look at the Prison Break Survival Game at "Television without Pity." (It follows basically the same rules as our game). I had to laugh when I saw someone give Nick (Frank Grillo) ++ for not being mean to the blind guy.  Sad to say, Nick has been "shanked" (that's how they're doing in all the characters in that game). The game has been going on a lot longer than ours, and there are only three characters left standing -- Michael, LJ, and Sucre. |

I think they need to rename this show "All in the FAmily."
In nearly ROFLed in the Fall finale when it said "directed by Sanford Bookstaver." That's Rena Sofer's husband.
All they need now is have the murders investigated by Jim & Hank.
HEY!! If they ever break out, maybe Hank can track them....

Here's the recaplet of last night's episode that was listed over at Television Without Pity:
Let me get this straight: all of Michael's elaborate planning is foiled by one janitor with keen powers of observation? He's got emergency back-up poison pills just in case his brother decks someone and gets tossed in solitary, he's got a cellmate who just happens to have a rosary so said pills can get smuggled in, he's got a way to play Bellick so everyone's in St. Louis at night and therefore positioned to escape despite Abruzzi being out of commission and unable to provide transit…and it all comes to naught because some janitor decides to replace a disintegrated pipe with a shiny new one that is impenetrable.
Fortunately, the idiocy isn't confined to the inside of Fox River. After a big long speech about how he's written down the whole conspiracy on three sheets of paper, Hale neglects to hand it over to Veronica before Kellerman plugs him. Naturally, Veronica cowers during all this because she's no LJ with a camera-phone.
To sum up: Team Escarpara screwed, Veronica in peril (again), and Hale probably dead. See you in March!
At least it's coming back in March instead of May, as originally scheduled.
March is a good month for TV...

If I rated the show on logic, I think I would have stopped watching weeks ago!  I agree with mlm88 -- how did Veronica pass the bar exam? What a peabrain. Grab the envelope and go, you ninny, don't stand there making conversation with the guy! It also hit me last night that, although promoted as "The Fall Finale," the episode really wasn't constructed as such. I'm guessing Fox originally intended to run out the whole series, but only broke into two "seasons" when it became a hit, so they could save the last chunk for sweeps. So last night's ep, at least to me, seemed to end with the same amount of cliffhanging tension as the others. That said, at least we only have to wait until March! Anyone know when the new season of Rescue Me kicks in? |

i haven't seen this show,, but wentworth miller was on a repeat of jay leno ( he's on here again at 2am ) it is about a week old rerun
anyways: when he was being greeted,, someone from the audience yelled " we love you ,stinky" and he had to explain that,, he said it was from his college days,, and he was a smart aleck,, always making "snarky" remarks,,
i think that is the first time i've ever heard snarky said,,

. . . how did Veronica pass the bar exam? What a peabrain. Grab the envelope and go, you ninny, don't stand there making conversation with the guy! "Peabrain" is too kind. But the dumbest thing she did may have been going public before the meeting. I'm not sure if that was the only thing that made Kellerman suspect Hale, but it didn't help. At least she's heard of the 8th Amendment. |

i think that is the first time i've ever heard snarky said,, I have heard it a fair bit. I've even said it. Maybe it's more common in Canada? BJO, do you hear it at all? |

One thing I have wondered about this series is how will there ever be any other seasons? I mean, I guess they won't get out successfully, or else there's not much plot left. Unless they plan to do different prisons, different characters each time, kinda like a reality show? But as this is not a reality show, I don't think that would go over too well. Plus, I want to look at Wentworth |

My understanding is that this story will continue on after they are able to escape. With creative writers, it can go for quite a long time. It might take the rest of this year to get out of jail and then they'll be in different kinds of trouble as they escape detection and try and get out of the country--all while Nick and Veronica try and clear up the government conspiracy that put Linc in jail to begin with. And what are they going to do with T-Bag? That in and of itself will be sure to keep me entertained.
Last night made me so nervous!

A few more random thoughts on last night's episode.
Abruzzi isn't dead! How silly of me, to think that he was. This is television, after all. It still remains to be seen whether he will survive the helicopter flight to Chicago and treatment in the ER at County General (oh, wait, that's another show on another network).
Points to Nick for trying to persuade Veronica not to go public. At least one of them is smart enough to have passed the bar exam. (On further thought, I'm not sure that's a good standard to measure intelligence. There are a lot of not-so-smart lawyers out there).
What's with the electric chair? I thought all states now used lethal injection, but maybe that's not scary enough for TV. (Seems like it would be scary to poor Linc, since he'd be dead either way).

I haven't been able to watch it for 3-4 weeks so I am horribly behind. What happened to Nick? Who did it? I wanted to scream at Veronica to just grab the darn thing and run. You don't keep a secret informant standing around or they don't remain secret for long!
