Prison Break in This Week’s TV Guide
On page 32 of the most recent TV guide is a short article about Prison Break.
First off, it would seem that I must print a retraction from a past post or two mentioning that Prison Break wasn’t going on hiatus. There were numerous sources declaring that it wasn’t going on hiatus, but in the end it seems that it is 
TV guide certainly thinks so. Since in the article called “Taking a Break,” they keep mentioning 
the ‘mid-season’ and ‘fall’ cliffhangers. Also, there’s an add for the episode in the back of the magazine by the Monday night schedule declaring in big, white block letters, “Fall Finale TONIGHT!” I am inclined to think that FOX decided to have Prison Break, take a break after all.
I did want to talk about the article though. It’s very interesting. Co-executive producer Zack Estrin was interviewed, he also wrote the ‘Fall Finale’ (coming up this Monday entitled “The Killing Box”).
He was quoted as saying:
“Several characters will find themselves behind bars at the end of this week’s episode.”
Mr. Estrin continues:
“This is a pivotal episode because the brothers find themselves back at the center of the conspiracy. (Michael and Lincoln) Realize that running is no longer an option–they have to stand and fight.”
Here’s the Spoiler update from around the different Spoiler facets of the internet.
First off, what is Bellick thinking that the cops won’t check Geary’s phone message. I was sitting there watching, just waiting for some guy to walk in with a tape recorder, and then it happened. The jig is up for Bellick. I sure hope his story isn’t completely over. I hated him as a guard but I liked him as a desperate nobody out for revenge, although he’s a moron. I mean really, tying up T-bag’s bad hand to the radiator?
the rest of their lives in North Dakota? While we’re on that subject, love does make people do some crazy things, but why in the world did his wife go along with something like this? Especially with young girl in the mix. I was thinking that C-note was going to jump out of the motor-home and give himself up when his wife was being arrested. It would seem though, that he’s going to have to give himself up to save his family sometime in the near future.
I just wanted to comment on the ability of the newspaper in this show. The newspaper is the number one enemy of the convicts. It seems that every time they think they are in the clear the dreaded newspaper shows its face again at the most inopportune times; showing the reader the exact picture of the exact escapee sitting in front of them.
their breath on TV or in the movies, I unconsciously try to hold mine along with them. She sure got out of that chair fast, only to burn Agent Kellerman with an iron right on the chest. I always have a problem with these scenes where from sheer luck someone escapes their captor. Now I don’t have a problem with the luck, what I have a problem with is that when the captive has incapacitated their captor they NEVER pick up the gun and shoot them.
to a chair, in a tub full of water with Agent Kellerman looking on.
As I mentioned in my review this week Prison Break really delved into the innocent lives being lost in Michael’s quest for Lincoln’s exoneration. Michael has seriously started thinking about what kind of consequences his actions are causing.
Bolshoi Booze, they were numbers. GPS coordinates to be exact. That Michael, he thinks of everything.
This whole thing could’ve been avoided if Bellick would’ve tied the other, or both, hand(s) to the radiator. But, then again, Bellick and Geary aren’t the shiniest pennies in the bag, so who knows what they were thinking. Either way you look at it, T-Bag got out of the house, and is now running around, as a handless wonder. But, somehow he still ends up being just as scary to Geary who finds out T-Bag had a GPS transmitter in the bag all along (those Army/Navy stores are fun by the way). I just don’t understand how, during that whole scene with Bellick, Geary, and T-Bag, those two knuckleheaded ex-gaurds didn’t somehow see that T-Bag had a trasmitter on him or some where near him.
I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s episode of Prison Break. It’s entitled “Bolshoi Booze.” We’ve only got two more episode after that until the hiatus, 
As we’re talking hiatuses I’d just like to throw in my two cents about the whole subject. I think that the TV season in itself is inherently flawed. It’s too many weeks, and the shows are becoming too complex. This is why we’re moving closer and closer to internet TV. It’s only a matter of time folks, before we’re all watching our favorite shows streamed on our computer screens. I don’t mind waiting though, because I understand how difficult it would be to create 50 plus shows for every week of the season. So, I’ll just sit back and relax during these hiatuses. I know my shows will be back. They always come back.
This is one heck of a hard show to predict. It seems that everything is going wrong for Michael. That’s one thing I find extremely entertaining about this show. Here you have a character, Michael Scofield who’s used to having everything his way. He almost expects things to work out the way exactly how he’s planned them, because he’s so amazingly smart. But, it seems that the actual criminal mind (street smarts) can go a long way.
Was the Idea Behind Prison Break Stolen?
I’m a huge fan of this show, so it’s hard for me to pick. But, I would have to say I’m loving this season. Season 1 we were just stuck inside the prison the whole time waiting for them to escape.
