Prison Break 4x06 "Blow Out" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

From TV.com:

The entire operation may be in jeopardy when Mahone gets into trouble with the law. Gretchen's sister receives a surprise visitor. The Company may be onto Self. T-Bag continues to raise suspicions at Gate.

Well I thought it was pretty good.

Yeah, I thought so too. It was nice to have a plot around getting the card and something a little different and to see the Scofield 8 do something to help one of their own.

I'm disappointed that Secretary McBoobs was wearing something demure.

Good. At least they aren't moping around a stupid Panamanian prison this season and the focus on Fichtner really paid off - he's one of their best actors (the other one being of course Knepper).

I was disappointed they didn't kill Mahone here. While I like the actor and all, the character has just felt like a waste of space since the end of S2, and this was the perfect opportunity to off him dramatically.

When was the last time they killed a hero character anyway? There's Whistler in the premiere but he's not a hero obviously.

^ I think Mahone will die, but not until he's avenged his son. In fact, he'll probably die while doing so. Don't forget, he basically murdered Haywire and Tweeter (or whatever the character's name was), arranged for C-Note to kill himself (though he was stopped from doing so), shot dead Michael and Lincoln's father and set up Peter Stormare's character (can't remember the name - brain freeze tonight) to be shot by the Feds. So by the law of tv morality, despite the decent things he's done since, he has to die.

Decent, if not outstanding ep. And they did kind of break out of Prison - well, a courthouse ... Gretchen and T-Bag ought to make an interesting combination - a marriage made in hell, if ever there was one!

Yepper. And then Fichtner needs to get himself a gig on a better show, like something that AMC is developing (I can think of two roles he'd be good for on Red Mars). He's a very good actor but he's gotta go where the writing matches his acting skill level. Running around and fighting conspiracies is kinda a waste of his talents.
