Prison Break

[fallenangel]

I rule (at observing obvious courses of action, anyway). As episode guides are updated a few days before things actually air, Robert Knepper is still in the episode cast after this week. Whoever it is that plays the black inmate C-note ain't. But then, he isn't in the credits at all 'cause he suxxorz.

Mmmmhm, love. Just the episode titles for things that will air in January/February make me all tingly with excitement. "The Rat". "By the skin and the teeth". Hot damn.

Oh how the little girls will cry when the pedo rapist gets to stay. And I will laugh and celebrate and eat ice cream. Emmy for Robert Knepper and Wentworth Miller, I say.

Anyone finds a download of episode 6 ("Riots, Drills, and the Devil") I would much appreciate it. Or episode 2 ("Allen") or 3 ("Cell Test"). Limewire ain't got nothin', and I can't find any files that work elsewhere. Pity.

Haven't liked a show this much since waaaay back in the beginnings of SVU. Fantastic.

As for you laughing, and eating ice cream, I'll be having my beauty sleep.

I do pwn this thread 'cause no one else, besides you, is watching this. And despite the millions of people who [i]are[/i], the only ones I've found are idiotic fangirls ("omg lolz I <3 XxMichael/SaraxX!!!!!!!!!" ). Makes my head hurt.

I find the subplot romance to be boring, cliche, and poorly written. Seeing half the subjects about the show being "omg they're so cute" "awww they had eye sex again" "he is SOOOO into her!!!!" kinda makes me want to kill people. So I don't bother reading them. And that leaves me with here, despite the fact no one is watching. Maybe someone who is will eventually notice. Maybe.

Until then...alas.

Here's some clips from past episodes. Only done 3 out of 11 episodes so far, but...meh.

Episode 2:
Clip 1 - T-Bag got a real name?
Clip 2 - Nice piece of steel...

Episode 11:
Clip1 - Hole at Fox River
Clip 2 - Musical people

Music Video

I usually hate these, where they take clips from a show and put a song over it, but this one...the way the clips are chosen is so hilarious. Especially the part with Tweener ("Girl, look at him..."). Don't even have to know a thing about the show.

This is mostly just a reminder for James to watch tomorrow night, though.

Geez, Abruzzi, let's just kill off the entire Bagwell family. Probably not a bad idea with that gene pool, but still...poor little one. Amazing looking at the cousin that it [i]is[/i] possible for Teddy to have gotten all the looks in the family. But considering Theodore's a product of incest...he's his own cousin...and his cousin could be his brother...and everyone's directly related to everyone in that family. :wacko:

Thoughts and random bits:

~ T-Bag's the best when he's plotting
~ Sucre's an ass. And I like him less n' less. Stop whining like a bitch and do your job.
~ The Michael/Sara plot still sucks. Ok, so [i]maybe[/i] I could see a connection made out of desperation, that she's the only normal person Michael sees in there, but not this "omg I luv you" from the instant they meet. Lame.
~ C-Note suxxorz.
~ Figures Abruzzi had to "find god". People like him too much for him to stay the hardened mob boss villain. If he got out and went back to shooting people in the head and running organized crime, that just wouldn't be such a happy ending, would it?
~ Seeing T-Bag kicking and fighting against Abruzzi's men was funny. You're little, Teddy, give it up.
~ I felt so bad for him when Pope told him the news. Pitying a man who killed half a dozen little kids and raped them...well, suppose karma's a bitch, but I still felt bad.
~ omgomgomgwtf Abruzzi SO COOL. Kudos to the writers on that one. Even though I adore Abruzzi n' all...
~ The blade on the tongue was Robert Knepper's idea. The actor who plays T-Bag. Boy's a genius. That whole scene was the best of the series so far.

Perhaps the best episode yet. They just get better and better. And T-Bag was certainly the highlight of this one, a nice change from Wentworth Miller/Michael being the star. I was kinda disappointed in Abruzzi, though. He used to be the arrogant smart ass, and now he was just the freaked out hairy guy. Unfortunate way to end such a cool character.

Man, so many people are gonna be pissed at this. Abruzzi was the golden child, the only one people were sure would make it. Fuck. Hope he had the plane all taken care of ahead of time.

Way to go, T-Bag. Great acting on Robert's part, too. I still feel sorry for him. If he wasn't messed up enough before...

I'm gonna rewind the tape and watch that part again....and again...

EDIT: T-bag telling Westmoreland about "boobies made of silicone" lmao :lol:

2nd EDIT: Man, T-Bag may well be the most hated character [i]ever[/i] now. Now he isn't just a cocky racist, he killed everyone's beloved character. And yet I love him more... :(

:mellow: Third EDIT: I'm proud of fellow Prison Break watchers so far. As much as they all loved Abruzzi as much as me, they seem to be accepting the fact T-Bag is the best villain ever. And that it was great acting from both parties. I am pleased. Maybe T-Bag can give Tweener a little prison wake up call now that Michael's threat has no Abruzzi to enforce it....

ah man, i LOVED that part when TBag took the razor out and was just like "Oh btw... ur dead" Ya i love the guy, he's one of my fave villians. Reminds me of Lionel from Smallville, Lex Luthors father. Always cunniving and being decietful. Always having a card up his sleave EVEN when there are no games being played Always two steps ahead of everyone else.

Abruzzi was the guy who got his throat slit right? He seemed out of it through the show, why is he everyone's fave? I personally thought he went WAY to easy on tbag when he decided not to kill him, i couldn't understand why he would.

My choice for best part was when teddy got the news he didn't do much acting but his reaction was beautiful, i'm sure anyone who hates him still felt sorry for him. I liked the guy before i seen a single episode, simply because you hyped him up for me, so imagine how i felt when they aired that part. I had no other episodes to compare this one too, so this means the show is pretty damn good in my eyes.

Yeah, that wasn't typical Abruzzi at all. A complete turn around on his part. But see, he used to be a hardened mob boss who would shoot a defenseless person in the head without blinking if he had to. But because people like him, he can't be like T-Bag, he has to be human somewhere deep down. So they put in that jesus thing as him feeling guilty, pushed over the edge by killing T-Bag's little...I don't know what the child of a cousin is, but let's just say nephew 'cause they're probably brothers anyway.

And that was his justification for sparing T-Bag. Otherwise he had no reason not to just stab his face out like he did others. Because he was "saved" for all the people he killed, he let T-Bag live. Wrong choice.

But before that, Abruzzi was one of the funniest and interesting characters. Typical mob boss type stuff. Pick any organized crime movie and make the boss a greasy prisoner using his former power just to get a few privelages and you'd have him. There's a little bit of Abruzzi in episode 11, caps 1 and 2. I capped 'em for T-Bag, though, all the best Abruzzi stuff is in the really early episodes before he agrees to help Michael.

I think, despite the sheer T-Bag awesomeness, the riot is still my favorite episode. It's a different kind of awesome. T-Bag still plots a little bit, but he's more just out of control and starting a riot. Teasing the guard held hostage by taking his daughter's picture out of his wallet and saying when he gets out, he's gonna find her and "go to the prom". That's the photo in the teeth thing. Then he stabs the guard later when Abruzzi pisses him off. And funny lines, like the riot starts 'cause the AC is broken, T-Bag: "Not that hot?! *points to black inmate* When this guy woke up, he was white!"


Yeah. Real good. Unfortunately I think that's the last of Teddy for awhile, aside from perhaps a bit of revenge. Michael's too busy getting Lincoln out of solitary to deal with it. But there's certainly good bits of Theodore in the second half of the season, 'cause you can't have a pedophile rapist running free without something good happening.

This episode made me think of when someone asked Robert how he can manage to play such a character, and he said "The best bit of advice I was given before we started was called KISS, which is keep it simple, stupid. They said 'don't act, just react'. And that makes it so much easier, to just react to what the others give me. I go with the feel of the moment."

Emmy for Robert Knepper, I say.

'Cause I'm awesome like this.

Episode 7 caps. The stuff about Bob's daughter...my favorite up until the "say hi to him for me" from this week.

Now if that doesn't interest someone to see the whole thing, nothin' will.

That's enough caps. For you people, anyway. They take too long to upload. I have ones of 6, but they don't want to upload right now. Meh.

I will.

Nah, it'll be on again next week. Just remember to watch at 8 instead of 9. Or tape it. Or something.

I've almost got all the episodes downloaded, including the freshly put up Odd Man Out from this week. Been watching T-Bag and the razor blade over and over and over... And the part with Westmoreland.

I'm sad that next week is the fall finale. If they wait until filming finishes in March to start playing the rest....argh. Who cares about 24. Old news.

Knepper needs an emmy. Suppose if anyone gets it, it'll be Went. 'Cause Michael's prettier than Teddy. At least a nomination, though. I can't think of any other show that's doing well with such good acting. But I don't pay enough attention to the latest network shows.

You better be.

Blood and human emotions from T-Bag, not to be missed.

It's probably just me, but... I really don't care whether Lincoln lives or dies. I care that Abruzzi is dying on the floor. I care that T-Bag's family was killed. I care that they kicked the shit out of him (again). I care whether Michael gets himself stuck in there for his entire bid, if not longer. I care if Westmoreland gets out to see his daughter.

But I don't give a damn about Lincoln. The one person the show revolves around, and I don't care. I'm inclined to blame the writers. They made the assumption that the audience would love him from the beginning. "aww, innocent man on death row, he has a son, his brother is risking his life to save him, I <3 Linc!" And some do, but with so many more interesting people and events going on elsewhere...who cares? I was rooting T-Bag on when he sent his boys after Lincoln and finally smashed him over the head during the riot. At least he was doing something.

Pity. Could've had some potential there, but that's the only other place the writers blew it besides the Michael/Sara plot.

Wouldn't it have been weird if Mike took up the invitation to be T-Bags b*tch? ^_^

Yeah, it is. Monday is the fall finale. The problem is a few things. For one, it's in 24's time slot, and 24 is FOX's golden show.

For another, they're still filming. The show takes a long time to film, and they're set to keep shooting until March to finish the last 9 episodes. So their options are to edit what they have and start showing them again around late January-February with a week or two between the episodes 'cause there's a couple shows that look like they're gonna be cancelled by then.

Or they'll wait and throw it in the spring sweeps around April. <_<

Either way, it's a really bad move on their part. But I can understand the fact they haven't finished shooting. At least they have a reason for the hiatus, and not just bumping it out because of 24.

On that same note, those boys are gonna freeze their asses off shooting in the middle of winter in Chicago.

[quote] Wouldn't it have been weird if Mike took up the invitation to be T-Bags b*tch?[/quote]

Michael would make a terrible bitch, though. Too stubborn. Scared little Cherry was much more fitting.

Cherry: S'gettin' so hot in here.
T-Bag: Did I say you could talk, Cherry? You'll know when I want ya to open your mouth.

It would have been funny, though. Who knows, could've turned out the same way. Maytag would still be pissed, still be stabbed, and T-Bag would still want revenge. There would just be some amusing scenes of bitch-dom in the middle.

Don't worry, James, I've got all the back episodes downloaded. You could always watch one every Monday.

:(

Smallville doesn't air again until December 8, and its a christmas themed show <_< this is gunna suck..

good thing is that the 100th episode will air this season and they have a special event planned. One of the main cast is going to get killed! and it's rumored 2 will die, actually. But no ones spilling the beans. Anyway...

There aren't any reruns for Prison Break planned are there? they should totally do that. You have me dying to see the second episode with Tbags first appearnce.

I was wrong about something, i thought Dominic Purcell, who plays Lincoln Burrows, was the main character, not that shrimpy chump, Michael. A dude like that would'nt last too long.

if the show is about a prison escape, how will it last more than one season if they plan on escaping at the end of this season?

Not at the moment. They'll probably replay at least some of them before they start the second half of the season, but there aren't any scheduled for regular play during the down time. I can get the whole first half to you by next weekend, though.

[quote]You have me dying to see the second episode with Tbags first appearnce.[/quote]

The second episode doesn't have [i]too[/i] much T-Bag, but it was definitely a great way to introduce the character. Offering bitch-dom and kickin' it in a race riot/war.

[quote]I was wrong about something, i thought Dominic Purcell, who plays Lincoln Burrows, was the main character, not that shrimpy chump, Michael. A dude like that would'nt last too long.
[/quote]

I dunno, there's some pretty wimpy lookin' guys that do alright in prison. I think it's more of a mentality thing. T-Bag's short and not overly bulky, either, but he's insane and won't think twice about stabbing you and throwing you off the second level of the block. Whereas people like Cherry and Tweener get eaten alive 'cause they're weak and scared. Michael is smart and confident. He knows how to get to people. And he doesn't cave to the typical threats (Abruzzi's toe cutting for example). When you see the first few episodes, you'll see.

There's definitely unrealistic things about the prison that I said before, mostly centering around Lincoln, but...Michael would do ok. Lose a few toes, take a few punches, and have to bargain with a few murderers, but ok.

Dominic Purcell is the much more realistic prisoner, but that fits the show. Lincoln is a trouble maker. He was framed for killing the Vice Prez's brother, but he was hired to kill [i]someone[/i], it's just that the person was already dead when he got there.

[quote]if the show is about a prison escape, how will it last more than one season if they plan on escaping at the end of this season?[/quote]

That's why some people think the break will be good. The whole dynamic of the show is going to change, it's not gonna be about the mechanics of the escape anymore. Giving some time between the parts will give people a chance to step back and come back to it fresh and open to the new story.

BUT, they plan to escape by this Monday. They said they will escape by the first 13 episodes, episode 13 is this week. Whether they'll completely finish the escape is unknown, but it's at least going to take place. Afterwards, it's anyone's call on what will happen, but it'll be about them on the run. Assuming they all get out (which T-Bag has to 'cause Knepper's still filming), there's a lot of little subplots going.

Lincoln has to find his son and hide. Michael said they're going to the tropics, away from any police. They've got Abruzzi's plane and Westemoreland's money lined up. Sucre wants to marry his girlfriend. Westmoreland has to make it to the hospital to see his daughter. The feds will still be after the whole Burrows/Scofield clan. Undoubtedly they'll continue the super lame Michael/Sara plot line, which could get infinitely sticky in such a stupid way. She is, after all, the governor's daughter.

T-Bag will do god knows what. Rape some babies, abduct some girlies, find some new white supremists, who knows. But I doubt Michael will let him run around free.

I don't think they'll completely explain the whole conspiracy thing this week.

I really wanted Abruzzi to live and stay cool 'cause that would have also been an interesting subplot. You didn't see the episode yet, but Michael had been holding onto the identity of a guy in witness protection that Abruzzi wanted as leverage. He tricks another guy, but then Abruzzi asks if he's going to give him the real address after they get out, and Michael says "of course", and Abruzzi holds onto a picture of Veronica as "insurance". How cool would that have been? Abruzzi kinda became a loved accomplice, but he was still a former mob boss, and him going after Michael would have been good fun. :(

Someone find him quick and sew his throat up.
