Damn, it has been busy around here, so reviews have been slow coming from myself and I've not had all the time in the world to approve the reviews from our other writers, so please be patient. I did happen to watch a recording of this past episode of Prison Break, so on with the review!
Unaware of any attempts to move Scylla, Michael Scofield and company continued their hunt for Scylla thanks to the connection at Gate they have with T-Bag. ... Read More

It can be a little aggravating watching Fox shows right now due to the MLB playoffs, but Prison Break managed to get in a new episode recently and I'm glad they did.
Sara's reaction to learning of Gretchen's survival was interesting initially, but her constant flashbacks were exhausting to watch. I don't feel as though they helped the story along and I'm not convinced there was a reason why Sara and Gretchen had to have their little "bury-the-hatchet" meeting. It solved ... Read More

Prison Break is progressing quite nicely. The Scylla cards are coming together, Wyatt is getting closer to getting to Don Self, and T-Bag is on the run. T-Bag stepped things up when the screws were put to him at the office last week and now Gretchen.
The scene between Gretchen and T-Bag went about as I suspected it would. Both are pretty hard people. With T-Bag on the receiving end of a few nasty cuts courtesy of Gretchen's cold ... Read More

The Scylla card collecting continued this week with two more being detected with Roland's device. But one of them nearly cost the team a member.
I've been pretty pleased with this season of Prison Break. The pacing of everything is acceptable, far better than the second season, for instance. I can feel things moving along nicely.

Despite a pretty good plan to get the card at the horse track, the plan went horribly wrong when Mahone got nabbed ... Read More

The rate in which Michael Scofield and company are acquiring the Scylla cards is impressive. One a week is great because it's going to be very difficult to get the one the General is carrying. Speaking of the General, he made a somewhat rare appearance in "Safe and Sound", trying to sure up the safety of those Scylla cards.
I almost didn't think the guys were going to get into that office. By the sounds of it, it was going ... Read More

While Michael Scofield and company inch their way closer to retrieving the Scylla card data, the Company continues to put up a fight, killing off anyone who seems to be poking around. Don Self's informant, a former Company man lost his life this week thanks to Wyatt, who is doing a fine job this year of adding to the show's body count.
In order to pick up data on the second card holder, they had to track her down to a police ... Read More

You can always expect plenty of action on this show. The writers and directors used on Prison Break have done a very nice job with making sure viewers don't get bored for too long while watching Michael and company pull off the ridiculous and the absurd every week.
This week, the guys are reeling from the realization that Scylla isn't just one card, but six. Agent Don Self is shocked to learn of this, but he makes sure Michael and his ... Read More

Prison Break used to be one of my favorite shows on network television. During the first season, I was really sucked into the show. Watching Michael get his brother and a few allies out of prison was both fascinating and entertaining. But over the past few years, the show has lost me as a regular viewer. I didn't watch the third season until it was all over.
Now that the fourth season is here, I figured I'd give the ... Read More

Prison Break was a show that I loved right from the beginning. The characters were all quite different, some you could root for, while others you wanted to see dead. T-Bag would fall into the latter category.
But when season three came around, I just didn't watch it. It wasn't because of the quality of the show, I just had other things to do on Monday nights. But I recently watched the entire (shortened) season a few weeks ago ... Read More

The season finale of Prison Break aired tonight. I had frankly forgotten that it was the last episode of the season until the episode was about half over. The season has progressed fairly slowly in my opinion, likely being dragged out a little bit so that FOX could get three seasons out of the series before the producers bring the story to an end.
This brief recap isn't really in order, but is loaded with spoilers.
In Chicago, Sara's trial is over ... Read More
