Goosebumps

I never liked Brad even when he joined the squad and I never thought I'd like him but his end just blew my mind. The writer and the actor did a marvelous job at making his end unforgettable

One of the best PB episodes...

[weedymuff · 10/10 · 5 November 2008]

Prison break season one captured many peoples attention with hooks and gripping story lines. Much of that carried on into season 2. Then came season 3 which in all honesty was a little bit of a let down but season 4 has picked up and this episode touches the heart.

They have made you care a lot about the characters and play on those feelings to the extent that i was shaking at the end of this episode. Characters you hated you feel for deeply and see past they're awful side.

If you are a PB fan you can't not watch this episode. As i said in the title it is one of the best episodes.

P.S if you didn't know, Prison break rules!!! :D

Bellick is officially a hero :((

So many unexpected things happened in this episode. I think it's Prison Break at its best. Bellick made an unexpected choice which would surely mark our remembrance about him. I didn't know I would care about Bellick this much. I have just finished watching this episode and now I am speechless. The only thing that could appease any Bellick lovers is the death of Wyatt (did I spoil too much?). All hail Mahone! And this season will be the final one of this incredible series. It has run its course, I guess. I still have yet to see Michael in any fine suits since the first episode of the season. Gosh he's getting fatter. This review was edited after years of watching better series. 80% of what I had written here remained unedited.

Brad is a Hero 😭

Getting Even

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 24 November 2008]

Lincoln unsuccessfully beats up on Wyatt trying to force him to call General Krantz and tell that he killed the brothers. Then Self arrives with a wallet and tells that he needs a nice conversation with Wyatt, and Sara goes to the cell under the surveillance of Mahone. Lisa tells Krantz that she needs three days to move Scylla, and he orders to distribute the pictures of Michael and his group to the press. Michael, Lincoln, Bellick and Sucre go to T-Bag office in Gate and they reach the pipe conducting the water supply of LA and conclude that it is impossible to dig the concrete beneath. Self tells Mahone that he sympathizes with him and he also lost his wife and baby. White is worried with the vanishing of Andy Blauner, and T-Bag is interrogated by a detective that is investigate the disappearance. Self lures Wyatt and leaves him alone with Mahone that wants him to call Pam feeling fear in his voice. Gretchen arrives with a pistol in General Krantz's office; he calls her "my girl", kisses her and recalls when she failed in the Police Academy because of her psychological test that accused that she is emotionally disconnected and sociopath. Mahone tortures Wyatt that calls Pam and the killer tells that he is sorry. T-Bag changes Andy's sale records and convinces White that he has embezzled Gate. Bellick has a surprising attitude in the water duct.

There are great surprises in this show: the expected duel between Mahone and Wyatt; the unexpected attitude of Bellick; and the intriguing meeting of Gretchen with General Krantz. What is her real intention is the mystery to be solved in the next episodes. The health problem with Michael may be a problem in the future. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Full of Surprises, but Fair Enough

[R3ason · 8/10 · 12 February 2022]

Back in Season 1, when Bellick resumed the death sentence of Lincoln, I thought he was really evil instead of merely being a prison guard stereotype. A prison guard is prone to abuse of power, according to The Lucifer Effect. However, actively helping the excecution of another human being is just not acceptable in my opinion.

Here in this episode, Bellick sacrificed himself to ensure their plan was properly carried out. Because of the prejudice built during the first three seasons, I found it difficult to see Bellick work with the others at first.

What Bellick did in this episode was quite surprising but not so unnatural. Bellick had experienced a dramatic change of role, from a guard to prisoner, and persecution in Sona. In this episode, he showed sympathy for Lincoln and his dialogue suggested a happy childhood. Maybe Bellick is good under the bottom of his heart and completely different from convicts like T-Bag.

In Prison Break, those characters were constantly exposed to high stress and often behaved irrationally and unpredictable, making the plot intense and enjoyable. However, a plot that was too unexpected could feel unreal. Except for the last few episode in Season 2, the writers did an excellent job.
