What did you think? I thought that the train-jumping fake-out was awesome.
(Haywire spoiler) I also thought they played the end of the Haywire storyline very well. Mahone did a great job portraying just the right balance of jaded amoral asshole and actually feeling a little bad about what was happening, despite knowing there was really no other way.
(Dr. Hottie spoiler) they finally said it!!! 'bout time.
(edited because I had a stray linebreak and I’m in a perfectionistic mood.)
If Bellick (sp?) had really gone to FBI school he would have known better than to yell, “Hold it right there, Haywire!” when he was so far away that it gave Haywire plenty of time to run away. But I guess they needed another chase to fill up the time.
And the fake-out would have been more surprising if they didn’t have something like that every single week.
I thought the situation with Kellerman was urgent enough that the real president could have been involved, it seemed kinda silly to use a fake when a simple “hey boss crazy ex agent has the hots for you and he can easily solve our problems if you kiss up to him a little” would have probably done the trick. Also, hes stupid enough to believe everything will just go back to normal, but bright enough to figure out it was an impostor? come on. I liked the Haywire, C-note and Bellick storylines though. Why is the show not going to be on next week?
The competion on the crowded Monday nights is killing it.
I liked it this week. T-bag is awesomely creepy, I was sad to see Haywaire go, but then again - his story was going nowhere. Nice to see C-note as the hero he really is and Bill Fichtner is superb as the agent on the edge.
I could do without the clichéed Mike’n’Sarah love story though.
I guess Brad was too good a character to kill off. BTW, I could easily see Michael Ironside play that part. Or Powers Booth ( who showed up briefly on 24 the same night).ac
I think if I were going to stop a train, I wouldn’t do it by parking by car in front of it. Just me though.
I have a feeling the president doesn’t really know what The Company is doing anymore. I recall hearing a Company High Holy saying something about her usefulness nearly being played out. Does anyone else?

Mighty fine line of sight from those train windows too. They saw the “road block” from far enough away to dash to the locomotive, do the whole hackneyed “climb over the top of the car” thing, break into cab and force them to drive through. How long would that take in real life? Five minutes? So what, was the train moving at about five miles an hour?
Why would they even have a road block? Wouldn’t you pretty much just radio the engineer and say, “Stop the train”?
If we’re going to talk Prison Break, we cannot try to bring logic into these actions of the Fox River [strike]8[/strike], [strike]7[/strike], [strike]6[/strike], 5 or those dedicated to capturing them.
Kellerman seems to now have a perpetual smirk on his face. Dr. TooSkinny should have closed the deal. I knew Kim was playing Kellerman; I like the twist on how.
How long before Mahone puts a bullet into another agent’s head? Did anyone ever mention The Company agent that Mahone ventilated an episode or two ago? No one misses him?
Poor Haywire. I hope he’s in Holland now.
So, who will die in order for it to be the Fox River 4?

The problem is that all three /excepting the brothers) are so lovable. C-note and Sucre are really likeable good guys, with their own quests and mini-arcs. And t-Bag is so deliciously bad and wicked, thay simply can’t kill him off. On the other side of the fence, Fichtner’s character, Brad and Kellerman are all great. Kim needs to go, but he’s not in harm’s way.
I do hope they wrap this up this season and don’t try to stretch it and make it into The Fugitiive. If they want to keep going, do another prison break with other twists and turns.

They may not kill off any more of the escapees at all. The ones they have killed off were the disposable ones. Although I do fear for C-Note a bit. Sucre I think will get a happy ending.
On one of those horrid E! “news” programs a couple weeks ago the correspondent said that she had been informed by Fox that season three would see Michael back in prison.

Last season, when she was VP, the was told that (by the Michelle Forbes character) when the then-president said he was withdrawing support of her nomination. With her prospects of becoming president unlikely, she was informed that the Company needed to find someone else “who could get things done.” Then she had Kellerman poison the president, so she could move up. Presumably that put her back in the Company’s good graces.

Yeah, that was very sad. He appeared crazy enough he probably shouldn’t have been in a normal prison anyway. He needed more care. Although a prison mental hospital might be even worse. Here’s to Haywire finally finding Holland.
Hope the dog finds a good home, too.
As for who else needs to die, T-Bag is a goner. But it doesn’t have to happen anytime soon. But he will get his just desserts eventually. He has to.
Sucre & C-Note never killed anybody so they could live happily ever after. The writers would be incredible dicks to allow C-Note’s cute little daughter to end up parentless.
I don’t think Bellick - scum bucket that he is - is very happy about Haywire. Hopefully now he suspects playing FBI dog-boy is dirtier than just catching bad guys.
One good thing about Bellick’s story is it demonstrates if you get sent to prison now it doesn’t mean you have to stay there long.
I can’t remember, where is LJ right now?
The scene with Dr. Whatserface could have been played better. I wanted her to choke Kellerman into unconsciousness, have the boys run up and say “what are you doing?” and have her say, “don’t worry, he’ll live. Maybe now he’ll know what it feels like.”
That way she could keep her fundamental “do-not-kill” doctorness.

I’ve seen it as [ strike ][/ strike ] or as [ s ][/ s ]. It’s not “bad” coding. Just doesn’t work here.
