Prison Break is a good show.
I've liked the vast majority of it even the much maligned third season.
That episode there? Easily, EASILY, the best of the series. Between Bellick's end and Mahone getting revenge on The Great White Hunter/Assassin the drama and tension in it was all really, really well done.
I mean, I'm just stunned on how well PB delivered the Drama tonight, the "papi" moment between Sucre and Michael, Sarah's manipulation of the Assassin and so much more. Very, very well done episode.
Kudos, thumbs up, and an excellent.

Indeed. I don't think Prison Break is given much credit in areas like this. I mean first of all they've made a character who is despicable in almost every manner possible their most watchable character (and easily my favorite character) in T-Bag and their "arc" with Bellick was great. I mean he was a dirty, unlikable, prison gaurd in Season One and he's come all they way around to a likable right-hand man here in Season Four.
He'll be missed, great acting by Wade "The Evil William Shatner" Williams tonight.
He'll be missed.
Also, the most disturbing thing ever to occur on this show.
Young new inmates tugging on T-Bag's pocket? No.
Tweener and Avocado's sessions behind a hung sheet? Not even close.
T-Bag's amputation, and then ripping it off again with his own teeth? Ha. Child's play.
Nope.
The most disturbing thing to ever occur on Prison Break?
The kiss between The General and Susan B. Anthony.
:sick:

Wow. Two major deaths this episode. I cannot believe that Bellick of all people sacrificed his life for the job. It just felt ridiculously out of character. He's a sniveling coward only out for his own neck. A real what the hell moment, but a good one.
Thank god they actually killed Wyatt. The whole time I was terrified they were going to wuss out and have him escape somehow.
Gretchen and the General... err... interesting...

Between losing his job, all his tracking down of T-Bag/the Fox River 8 and especially his experiences at Sona has tamed him. In Fox River he was the class-nerd given the chalk while the teacher was out of the room, once he was no longer king of that paticular hill I think more of the "real Bellick" shone through. Whch is somone a lot dumber and tamer. (We saw hints of this when he tried picking up Sarah at an AA meeting) Very interesting character moment for him and I'm sorry to see him go.
^ Sadly we're falling further behind you lot this side of the pond, so I'm a week behind in joining this thread.
Gonna miss Bellick, though I never found his transformation from sadistic prison guard to helpful sidekick totally convincing. The actor was better than the writing he got of late.
As for Wyatt, I was sure he would escape and kill Mahone. I loved how Mahone kicked him off the edge as he started his 'Don't do this!' shpiel. Very Mal Reynolds! I've predicted before that Mahone will be killed off after he avenges his son, so I wonder if his days are numbered. I suspect that having killed off Bellick and the puter techy guy the previous week, he might survive for a while yet.
Incidentally, anyone else find it mildlly odd that there are (well, were) two unrealted Wyatts in the show - said assassin and T-Bag's boss? Unusual for a show to use the same surname twice in this way.
As for the General and Gretchen's kiss -yuck. I mean, he could do so much better! lol
