And Then There Were 7

[foxxcub]

Rock. ON.


God, I loved this ep. The best since "Riots", actually. So much going on, so much momentum...so much screaming (on my part). LOVED IT.

But dammit, in my continuing battle to be spoiler-free in this fandom, I could tell by the promos that Nick would get shot. Gah. Listless and sweating pretty much means fatal gunshot wound; I haven't been watching weeks worth of wounded!Sawyer for nothing.

Major gripe #1: The guys have the balls to accuse Michael of not doing anything?! Uh, hi, how about the fact that you all wouldn't even BE in the position you're in to escape without him. Just a thought. I think doing months--maybe even years--worth of research and having countless hours of body art done gives Michael the right to not dig for awhile.

C-Note irritates the shit out of me. That may be the whole point, but I really really hope his whole existence isn't just to cause race tensions with T-Bag. While I am probably one of only a few people in the fandom that doesn't think T-Bag is all that, I don't need a black token to remind me that he's a racist pedophile. Although C-Note burned him but good with the hole line. Let's hope there's more where that came from, because frankly, he and T-Bag can go bu-bye, especially with Westmoreland on board now. And yeah, that was an almost painful plot device in using his daughter's illness to get him into action, but hey, it worked, and I'm not gonna think too hard on it.

And HE'S D.B. COOPER!! *flails* But does this mean they still need Abruzzi's money? Or just his plane. I'd rather have an old school con's money than a psychopathic mobster's, but that's just me.

Ahhh, Agent Bumblefuck (TM tinamishi) strikes again. Dude. SHOOT. HIM. I appreciate the dramatic effect of leaving Quinn to waste away in the well, but c'mon...the guy's with THE COMPANY. They'll find him, and you'll be fucked. You think you're clever, but you're really just a fucktard. You should be fired.

I ache for LJ. The kid has been through so much shit, he's going to be in therapy until he's fifty. I also feel bad for the kid that plays him, because so far his emotional range has been stuck on extreme emo. Let the kid smile, for God's sake!

Veronica, you're stupid. Still. But I'm tired of saying it over and over. It's old news. At least Quinn said it to your face.

Bellick is a horny, pathetic loser. I can't tell if he tracked down Nika out of some jealous curiosity or a deep desire to fuck Michael over. Probably both. But obviously he's not completely onto him, or he would've figured out that Abruzzi = PI = Michael. Oh well, our Bradley isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and that's just fine with me.

And finally...

The eyefucking. OH, was there eyefucking. I literally about feel over and died. Did she really need to check his heartbeat? Or touch him all nice-like? Guhhhmgfhgzgef....chemistry, I love thee. And then she explodes with jealousy and everything is so right in my world. If I didn't adore the living crap out of Sara and this 'ship, I'd totally call her on her possessive, slightly psycho dress-down of Michael. Instead, OMG THEY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP?!? AND HE DIDN'T DISPUTE IT??!

*flails, dies*

Only on this show would I go all fangirly over unwarranted obsessive jealousy. Okay, and maybe Lost.

The whole time he was stalking the girl I was thinking, Bellick needs to get laid or get a life. 'Cause if all you have to do with your free time is stalk some prisoner from your jail's "wife", you need to review your territory.

Exactly. How big of a loser do you have to be to stalk inmate's stripper wives? And did you see that look the other CO gave him when he was like, "Doesn't she look familiar?" She was all, "Uh, no. I don't do stripper bars, kthnx." :P

Sorry! Would have replied sooner but due to Arabic being oh-so-long last night, I just now got a chance to watch the episode.

I knew Sara had to catch Michael with the wife, I knew it since Kristen spoiled me about the fact that he was married. I honestly doubt the "no favors, no conversation" thing will last long between them. She's stalker/jealous and he's probably incredibly horny by now. I don't see him telling her that he's busting out (As that would be incredibly stupid) but I see him contacting her after he and the others get out to answer all of those questions she has.

I love, love, love the creepy agent guy who took the group hostage. He's intelligent and homicidal, which makes for a fascinating character. I know we're supposed to hate him but I hate Agent Bumblefuck more, personally. I still feel as if his partner will turn on him at some point down the road given he hesitates every time they have to kill someone. Eventually, he'll grow balls and shoot him, or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

I had a feeling that the one inmate was DB Cooper and let me just say that I love that they used a real life crime as a background for this character. I was the dorky kid who read crime and unsolved mysteries novels, and I always remember the DB Cooper story having at least one chapter in those books. So, the forensics nerd in me squees whenever he's on screen.

As for who they off to make room...and who does the offing...

Michael is a saint. Lincoln is in no position to kill anyone. Abruzzi, maybe but I don't see him getting involved. What I picture is a fight between Darwin and T-Bag and one wins, the other ends up in the morgue. Darwin needs to be fleshed out more to get more people behind him, I believe, but I doubt anyone wants T-Bag to make it out just for what he's in jail for.

Then again, if they make it out and season two is them working on clearing Lincoln's name, I suppose having T-Bag around could make things very, very interesting. And was it just me or was T-Bag jealous when he found out Michael had a wife?

As for the other stuff, Bellick is so damn slimy. He's almost worse than the CO's on Oz and that is saying a lot given the show is on Fox. I was hoping Nika would have been smart enough not to say anything. At least Michael doesn't exactly have that faux credit card anymore, but he might want to put that tape recorder device into the hole behind the sink before he gets caught.

Veronica? Clearly, the actress has had botox because I didn't see fear in anything but her eyes. Most people would have a wrinkle or two in their forehead. Just a thought though. Why she didn't shoot creepy agent guy when there was a cabinet of guns nearby is another question but they got away so I can't complain too much.

And I think that's it! I didn't see the previews for the next one, unfortunately, but hopefully Fox.com has something up.

I really think it'll have to be down to T-Bag and C-Note as far as who goes--everyone else needs to stay for plots sake. But then, like you said, T-Bag could make things very interesting later on down the road, and for me that's saying a lot, since I can't stand him.

DB Cooper was real?! I didn't know that at all! Wow, that's cool, I knew I had you on my flist for something. :P

[vixerunt.livejournal.com]

I dislike T-Bag immensely and I'm amazed that people actually write smutty fic with his name even mentioned. The actor who plays him is wonderful though because when he talks, I just want to shudder and look away from the screen. He's a good Oz-like character. God, you just hate them, but they make the story so much more interesting.

He's no Vern Shillinger though. Not yet, at least. And that's the one problem I have with Prison Break (Aside from the fact that I cry whenever Wentworth Miller walks through the showers in a TOWEL). C-Note feels like the token black guy which isn't fair at all.

Oz was great because they had each group in the prison fleshed out really well so when the Brotherhood and the Muslims (For example) had screen time and a plot line together, you weren't scratching your head and wondering why the writers did that.

Of course, I suppose our focus needs to be on Michael and the gang but at the same time, it makes it hard to care about new characters that pop in if no time is devoted to them at all unless they're onscreen with the main cast. If I didn't like LJ so much, I'd just say off Veronica and tell the story from inside the prison only until they bust out.

DB Cooper Story (http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/scams/DB_Cooper/)

He was! And woo, purpose!

I guess now that I've served it, I have to be taken out back Old Yeller style, eh?

*long suffering sigh*

Quinn will be back. I can't believe Kellerman would just leave him there. Yes, it would be a nasty, lingering death but, but we weren't born yesterday. Now THAT is a death you can second-guess, LOL.

I missed some of the skirmish to see just how Veronica got free but yay for the good guys getting the upper hand. Quinn rubbing that sandpaper on his face was disturbing. And then he says he's a father! EEP!

"It's Dr. Tancredi." You know, if she were really going to be all professional about it, she wouldn't have mentioned anything. She'd just be pleasantly distant and hand him off to the other doctor/nurse and that would be that. Instead she has to make a point of telling him she's freaking out. And yes, she used the "R" word.

I love that Westmoreland really is D.B. Cooper. I really don't want him to be the one to go. I think it'll be C-Note. They seem pretty invested in T-Bag as a villain and he causes so many problems for the crew, I don't see TPTB eliminating him just yet.

And are you reading the TWOP recaps? They're gold! I laughed SO HARD over last week's recap. The person who does Lost is nowhere near as funny and also shrugs off Shannon's death like it's no big deal. And they seem to hate Sawyer and are glad when people throw rocks at him, so ... yeah, not an entertaining read anymore.

Oh, and Bellick - CREEPY. He wants to get into Mrs. Scofield's pants as much as he wants to get the goods on what Michael's up to. And that's very disturbing. He says he's only on the job for the envelope from Falsone but if this is how he spends his leisure hours, then ... yeah. Not so much.

You know, if she were really going to be all professional about it, she wouldn't have mentioned anything.

Yep, and that's why it's so great. :D

I sure as hell hope C-Note's the one to go, because he's completely expendable. He and T-Bag bring nothing to the table as far as the breakout's concerned, they're just the blackmailing squealers.
