Prison Break: 4x14 "Just Business" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

From TV.com:

Gretchen and Self wind up with Scylla (and a buyer). Michael battles with the Company for Scylla. Mahone asks some familiar faces for help. T-Bag continues to hold a couple of innocents hostage.

So, T-Bag. The murderous, rapist, pedophille, who has murdered more people over the last four seasons of this show than can easily be counted... Goes soft?!

What the hell?

Other than that, OK episode. Seems like it is wandering a bit right now to me.

 

[Mallet]

I liked it. A good, normal, episode. But the show is getting predictable. You knew they would get Syla back, just like you knew they were going to loose it right away.

Fun but annoying at the same time.

Predictable?

Self shooting the middleman?
Bible-selling guy actually being a company agent?
Linc being forced to work for the Company to save Michael?

Predictable?

Did we watch the same episode?

Hey it's a lot more plausible than the botched way Heroes tried the same plotline with Sylar. I actually loved that part, that and the scene with Michael and Linc having a heart to heart that goes back to how the whole thing started...

Bible-selling guy actually being a company agent?

That was predictable the minute poor T-Bag decided not to kill the guy. Cmon, we can't have T-Bag just run off and decide to do no more evil. For Bible guy to get the jump on T-Bag and prove that reform will do him no good is the only plausible way to keep T-Bag on the show.

And he does have to stay on the show, till the bitter end, the final episode in which he will be as evil as ever. T-Bag has to die for his sins, he can't be allowed to waltz off into the sunset, a reformed man. Goes against all the Laws of TV Drama.

 

[Mr Light]

Ah, now I see where the rest of the season is going. Michael in the hands of the Company and Linc forced to work for them. Could work.

I agree that T-Bag attempting redemption was a bit much (just like Sylar's 'redemption').

My first 'excellent' vote for some time. Loved T-Bag's inner conflict, which I found credible. He's always been a slightly complex character and sometimes is as reluctant to kill as he is happy to do on other incidents. Plus I knew that that salesman would have more to him than meets the eye - he was played by the serial killer from Journeyman and the Everyday Dad who killed a terrorist with his bare hands in the last season of 24. So he had to be watched!

The 'Re-take Scylla, then lose it again' is getting a bit annoying, a bit like the way they keep losing then retrieving the nuke or nerve gas weapon etc in the last few seasons of 24. But with Michael being captured by the Company (didn't you think Linc would get there in time? I did!), Mahone being led off by the Feds, Sucre getting his ass kicked by Gretchen (actually, I thought she would do that all right!), the episode was far from predictable. Still can't wait to see what happens next.

Not to mention the traitorous Michael Jonas on Voyager
