Prison Break 2.9 'Unearthed'

Otto is shirking his responsibilities. But c’mon, I know some y’all still watching. Spoiler space:

Michael has some bomb-making materials secreted away in a botanical garden? What’s he planning on blowing up?

About time Michael starts using his brain-powers to fight back with Mahone.

How dumb could Mahone’s wife possibly be? “Yeah, he was pretty obsessed with that one fugitive case, but then he came home one day, dug a big hole in the backyard, told me not to look at what he was doing, he had way too many bags of lye for a simple flower garden and right after he was done with his “garden” he kicked me out of the house. I never suspected a thing!”

How’s T-Bag gonna get out of that pickle? Tear his own hand off? How’d Bellick get so smart?

C-Note, C-Note, C-Note. What are ya thinking? What exactly are you going to do with your wife & kid on the run?

Where my Sucre? I want my Sucre!

Oh no! Not Lincoln & LJ!!! How will they get out of that one?

I’m really sick of every single civilian a fugitive encounters immediately recognizing them. C’mon!

Wait, what? Who voted me Lord God King of Prison Break Threads?

Working in real estate, I was thinking “No way would a real estate agent leave a vacant house unlocked.” It was a surprise that Stacey Keach had purposely left it open so T-Bag could get in. And when he started taking out the stitches, I was freaking out. Of course, I doubt T-Bag would feel any pain from it.

Poor LJ. He was a good character.

Stacy Keach was the warden, btw, not what’s-his-name the prison guard.

I thought this was the best episode in a long time. Not too many eye rolling moments, and we’re seeing some nice little give and take on the who’s winning this round side of things. Anyone else think that the scene of the FBI guy digging up his back yard was a dream? It seems like a supremely stupid thing to do in broad daylight, not to mention that (if Michael is right) bits of the DNA will have leached into the soil. And you can’t hide a big hole like that that was freshly dug, even if you fill it back in.

Stacey Keach played Warden Pope and hasn’t been seen since about episode two. The guys in the house were Bellick and another former prison guard who turned bounty hunter.

He’s not dead, for heaven’s sake.

I hadn’t considered it might be a dream. Michael successfully messed with his already unstable head. As an FBI agent he ought to know DNA doesn’t leech into the soil (I assume) but Michael has him on the defensive now. He’s digging up the body anyway and Michael’s driven him even closer to becoming completely unhinged. Forcing Mahone to dig up the body and I guess, dig up a few more feet of soil to get rid of this DNA leakage, buys Michael more time.

Mahone must have many more bodies buried. Literally or figuratively, since Agent Kellerman’s got a pretty tight leash on him.

I saw your name on the ballot for next Tuesday. You’re running unopposed.

Bill Fichtner is what keeps my interest going. He’s such a great actor, capable of delivering nuances no one else on this show is even remotely competent to do.

Too bad invasion didn’t get another season.

What I’m wondering - Scofield and LB are walkin or driving towards Gila, without $$$. Since the writers are portraying the brothers to be basically good (LB & LJ are walking, not stealing a car) to mesh with Hollywood morality, how are brothers and LJ supposed too live withoout the Westmoreland millions?
Keeping with the internal lgic of the show, this means that the Brothers will find the money again.

Scofield had about $5,000 of the DB Cooper money and used it to buy two cars for about $2,000 each, so he has some money left. Lincoln and LJ were walking because of potential roadblocks, not because of any issues with the morality of stealing cars. Indeed, Lincoln stole Jeanette’s car and sold her golf clubs (got $80 and a cooler). He may have had other money from the DB Cooper stash as well, I’m not sure, but probably not very much if he’s dickering over the price of stolen golf clubs. They apparently had enough cash to buy two train tickets, as they were planning on taking a train before they got caught (although I suppose they might have been planning to stow away like C-Note did).

You know how on the show Amazing Race they’ll throw up a map and draw a line showing us where people are going? Prison Break needs to do that because I’m always confused as to where people are and how they got there so fast. Some of these characters seem able to get from Chicago to New York and back to someplace in the West pretty quickly.

How did Michael get to Mahone’s wife’s house so fast? Where does she live?

Next week everyone will converge on this Gila place and I won’t know how they got there.

I’m still trying to figure out what Michael wanted the nitro for. But I did like how he went on the offensive against Mahone.

Based on the location tag, Mahone’s wife lives in Durango, Colorado, about 50 miles from “Four Corners” where CO, UT, AZ, and NM come together. So she wouldn’t really be too out of the way coming from Utah on your way to New Mexico. In fact, it’s almost overly convenient (it’d have sucked if she was in, say, Wisconsin).

And I have to question the fact that there’s only three “Sundown Hotels” among all fifty states. :slight_smile:
