Good Fences
Prison Break! It's so much better if you no longer care about the characters!
Seriously, as far as I'm concerned the show ended somewhere around season 1. So at the moment it's really mostly about watching DP walking around in Panama and Wentworth Miller squinting at the camera till I get bored with it (or it gets canceled, whichever happens first).
Now onto my confused and completely unstructured episode thoughts.
You know, I actually really felt for Lincoln/DP in those scenes where he walks up to Michael, has his talk, walks back and has his flashbacks. Up until the point where he sank down to express his inner anguish. Seriously, cut that out. It's cheesy. That kind of drama worked well when you were trapped in a cell and walking up and down and couldn't do much, but on the outside it just looks weird.
I still want to punch Lincoln any time he says "man".
I really loved that facial expression Michael had as he watched Lincoln walked away. I have no idea what it was supposed to mean, but it was pretty.
Lincoln just lost major coolness points with me for not punching Susan B. when she whined about the technicalities of how tough it is to saw somebody's head off and how hard it would be for her if she had to send LJ to Lincoln in pieces.
I don't understand a word of what Whistler is saying when he speaks. That scene of Michael with the kid: heh for Michael blue steeling hypnotizing him into missing the shot. And Michael just gave Mahone the porno stare of gravity before walking into his cell.
Bellick. You know how I used to feel sorry for you in episodes 1 and 2? I take that back. Please die.
Also: Things I never need to hear again:
Bellick: Remember? I was your dog!
That said, his (Bellick's) scene with Michael was fun. And I kinda liked him with Lechero too, bitching about Michael screwed him when he broke out of Fox River. But I still hate him. Mostly. I think.
Those scenes with Lechero, T-Bag and hooker nun always look like they are from a different movie. Some sort of svelty havana romance with lots of sex and betrayal. Duh, Lechero, for realizing NOW that maybe it would be a good idea to keep the structual engineer around. Superstar, Waterboy, Lechero is getting downright creative. And Michael was kinda hot standing in LoL, Lair of Lechero.
You know what I did like about this episode? Michael punking Mahone about the black pen. That was hilarious. Plus "He's leaving you! He'll be gone! Nooooo!" inside Mahone's head. And Michael being all "It's perfect! Good dog!" when Mahone gets him the pen.
I also like watching Michael do small stuff like fixing electricity and water. At this point I don't really care where exactly the big picture goes. I would so watch "Michael Scofield's Sona Home Improvement" where all characters outside, especially everybody related to the company drops dead (well except maybe Lincoln could have a 30 second fence scene each episode) and otherwise it's just Michael running around Sona and fixing stuff.
When Whistler told Michael he knew what was up I totally expected him to say "I watched the season 1 and 2 DVDs, you know!".
Also lovely? Michael's little smile when he smugly told Whistler that he was just stringing Mahone along and that Whistler had no way of knowing that Michael wasn't doing the same thing to him. And of course poor Michael's face being squeezed by Lechero. Oh, look, shiny! And Michael standing all self confident going "I'm gonna move into my new cell!". Man, I love self confident Michael.
I actually felt sorry for Mahone in his scene with the drug dealer.
And T-Bag killing that guy (even though it was a short scene) was more gross than the whole box thing. And T-Bag makes me laugh. When he shouldn't. God, what a dumb show.
I'm kind of annoyed that people keep talking about Sara like everybody is supposed to know her. I would have given a lot for a scene where Sofia goes "WTF? What the hell is he talking about?".
Susan makes no sense. That scene where he shoots the gravedigger was hilariously bad.
If Haywire was around this week, can we have a different Mahone victim every episode?
Michael looks so happy walking into his cell. I'm gonna enjoy every second of it because we know that it's not gonna last.
Ewwww, freaked out Michael. Dirty Mahone.
And eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Sucre! Happy Sucre!
Susan should have sent a picture of Sofia along the with birdbook. Just to emphasize the threat.
Was Michael checking out Sucre's ass?
Michael's plan as usual sucks. Whose gonna guarantee that there's not gonna be another janitor like there was with the corroded pipe? Oh wait, I remember, I no longer care!
Promo for next week
