'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
MTV Sets Premiere Date For Pauly D's 'Jersey Shore' Spinoff
Prison Break: Disconnect
(S02E12) It seems we have conflicting reports on what's going to happen to the remainder of the season for Prison Break. On one hand we have a report that we'll see the show continue without interruption for a while longer, while on the other hand the network is saying that next week is the "fall finale." So which is it really? Maybe it's both, and the show will just continue past this "fall finale" into the next week?
Anyway, I digress. Let's get to this episode.
I'll say right up front that this wasn't exactly a best for the series. I've said all along that I don't find the background story to Lincoln's crime interesting at all, and that includes Linc and Michael's father's story. It just seemed poorly placed and uninteresting to me. Or I could just be a cold-hearted bastard, since I didn't find that whole moment sad at all. Alright I take that back -- I did find it sad, though not in the emotional sense.
How the hell did C-Note think he'd get away with running around with his daughter who needs a constant prescription? While I feel sorry for C-Note the most, his plans for escaping with his family are ridiculous. Here he is, freshly broken out of prison, sweaty and still wearing clothes that make him stand out as suspicious, while his wife and daughter are wearing fresh clothes and seemingly unaware that C-Note really doesn't have a good plan in place. Really the only way his story is going to end properly is when he gives himself up and lets his family live without being on the run.
I'm glad they're getting more into Michael's guilt over too many people being killed. It's one of those parts of the story that they can't simply brush aside. I do have to wonder if they're slowly setting us up to see Michael take the fall in the end, going to prison for the crimes he committed, or worse, getting killed saving who he can. I mean let's face it -- he has committed serious crimes here. Several people wouldn't have died if it weren't for Michael letting inmates free from Fox River. In the end, that's going to be unforgivable to not only the law but, most likely, to Michael's conscience.
Random thought: Where's Haywire? OK it's not all that random, but I'm going to keep asking this until they show what's going on.
T-Bag is one smart sonofabitch, no matter how crazy he may be. He's one of the characters I'm glad to see stick around, and really I think the show wouldn't be the same at all without him. Some of the others I could live without. I'm glad to see Bellick Brad get his in the end, and for T-Bag to be the one behind it is just perfect.
I have to admit I was half expecting Mahone to come popping up from behind a boulder with a bazooka and take out Sucre's plane with a surface-to-air missile. They still threw us another unrealistic element, though, with Mahone somehow losing Michael and Linc in a car chase in the middle of a desert. That whole ending scene with the crash was a letdown other than leaving us with a pretty good cliffhanger into next week.
