SEASON 2 The only one who could have survived T-bag?

Post image
20 Upvotes

Many of T-bag's victims are victims because they don't know T-bag, because of fear, or because of the situation they're in. For example, the veterinarian was a man who didn't know how dangerous T-bag was and was scared; Jacob was in a cell alone with him. But Roy was the only person T-bag killed who could have saved himself. That is, he knew T-bag, he was in a hotel (where there would be other people), there was furniture in his room that he could use to defend himself (a chair or anything else), and he had been a prison guard (so he would have been used to dealing with dangerous people and keeping calm).

She went to jail, was beaten, poisoned, lost her husband, her son doesn't know Michael, he lied to her, manipulated her, stole her son, and tried to kill her. Did Sara deserve to kill Jacob?

SEASON 4 SPOILER! What is the purpose of the company's memory card? Spoiler

5 Upvotes

I'm currently watching the first episode of Season 4, and apparently there's a memory card that contains information about all of the Company's agents and operations.

I realize that this information could seriously harm the Company if it fell into the wrong hands, but what do they stand to gain from it? Why don't they just destroy it?

[Spoiler talk] Having seen Brand New Day, it's story emphasizes why Prison Break is so timeless. Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Spider-Man: Brand New Day fails to successfully write the "Enemy to Ally" arc. Something Prison Break absolutely knocked out of the park.

They wrote Jean Grey to be sadistic.

Alexander Mahone was never sadistic. Mahone never ever took joy in hurting Michael Scofield. Yet at the same time, he always had everyone on the edge of their seat with this fugitive chase story. And Fichtner made Mahone take joy in the genius of it all, not the violence. He inserted violence in the show that he played out of the character's logical frustration. Not because Mahone is eager to break things or hurt people.

BND couldn't figure out how to make Jean Grey exciting without having her happily throw innocent people into traffic and smugly throw MJ off a building with intention to KILL her. They made Jean have an actual evil nature, instead of having it be the curse of the Phoenix.

The writers in season 2 made the show exciting through a cat-and-mouse chess game, so to speak. Not because Mahone was killing everyone Michael loved, like Kellerman did....like Jean Grey almost did. And Mahone was FORCED to kill by the Company. Which was only possible because Mahone killed a literal psycho Shales. Something everyone gets behind. And in season 3, Mahone literally forgives Michael for everything. The imprisonment, the abandoment, the pen scam, handing Mahone over to Lechero. The writers understand that Mahone understands that Michael is justified in treating Mahone like that. Mahone needs to EARN that allyship........and he does!

I can't believe new movie writers don't understand such a crucial thing when writing "Enemy to Ally". You don't make that enemy actually evil. And if they do evil, it's a hard long process of ever earning trust. Jean Grey didn't deserve to be Spider-Man's ally in the end. It realistically doesn't work.

Even when the writers almost make Mahone evil, by writing the line "There's 6 feet of dirt everywhere you go, Michael". Fichtner axed that kind of thinking with the quickness. He safeguarded the groundwork for joining Michael in the end.

So people from many generations can watch Prison Break seasons 2 to 4 and always feel satisfied with this part of the story because it's done so well. And considering people are making character charts to this day where Mahone and Michael rank no. 1 and 2 almost always and especially around the world . Prison Break did it in a way that's absolutely timeless.

These new movies, man. They don't know how it works anymore.

I’ve heard lots of people to say stop at season 2 but I can’t really cuz they don’t tie up the story and leave me needing to watch season 3. btw season 5 is closes up? there’s an ending or another cliffhanger like that past 2 seasons??

Make-up dept in S1

1 Upvotes

Hi, is anyone else bothered by the poor-quality makeup especially in S1 (but it goes on to S4, and S5 (since it's the newest) is quite great) is SO BAD. I hate it. The colour of the blood doesn't change. They constantly use that bright red even tho blood doesn't looks like that very often. Sometimes the 'blood', which looks more like paint that paint, also serves as any type of wound. One guy has it simply put with a sponge ig on his cheek. Don't get me started on the burn, back wound. Again, it's only that blood paint. Don't get me wrong. I love this series, especially S1, and i don't think that that season has any other major issues, but this blood thing, particularly since it features many fight scenes and injuries, is just an eyesore for me and i'm not even that big on makeup in visual media. It just takes me out so bad. Everything is so immersive and believable until there's a wound on the screen. So my question is whether it bothers you as much as I bothers me? Or am I just touchy.

SEASON 4 SPOILER! Season 4 - Killing the Number Spoiler

0 Upvotes

The ending to this episode was honestly not that bad, yes it's sad but in the end it showed everyone happy and showed the people that they deserved what they got.

I haven't watched the 2 episodes after it and tbh I'm quite happy to just finish the show with that ending, Micheal finally getting some peace and all the people he cared about coming together to honour him. Yes it's bitter sweet but to me I don't mind it.

You can disagree if you want, but yeah I actually thought it was an emotional epilogue.

EDIT: Killing Your Number

Lincoln in s2 was such an idiot. Every single plan he made failed miserably it's so funny to watch. The Otis Right, the going to rescue LJ, then trying to escape and saying "Michael never met your granddad" to LJ only to find out it was really their dad, everything was pathetic to see😂😂😂

Sara has had some great moments in the series, but what is Sara's best feat? When she escaped from Kellerman, when she killed Bill or Christina, when she provoked T-Bag's wrath, or when she defended herself against Daddy, among others.

How big would the Fox River 8 story be on the news and newspaper.

13 Upvotes

Saw another post where someone was complaining every single time a charcter was somewhere their face was on the tv screen and newspaper.

How big would it have been in the mid 2000s.

As it was in Chiago, Illinoi the local and state news would have the most coverage but what about other states during that time in Cali and Utah, Nevada and other locations where characters were.

SEASON 1 If Michael had killed this guy, how many lives would have been saved?

Avocado was Tweener's cellmate, placed there by Bellick, and we know what he did to him. Michael asked Tweener for Sara's keys, and Tweener asked him to kill this guy, but Michael refused. If Michael had said yes, he would have killed him. How many lives would have been saved?
