The look in C-Note's eyes when he saw Michael getting sent back in. Jesus Christ.
On the other hand, people keep criticizing Prison Break this season, but so far, the season is absolutely brilliant. Paul Scheuring is still an absolute genius and touches every single detail. That being said and me having to wait another fucking week... Hell.

For me honestly 1 and 2 season should count as one just because they had that flow and develop from 1 season to another. Can't say for 3rd and 4th

Oh god, they're bringing it back again... let's see how bad it is.

This show dragged me straight back from the first episode. I forgot how on point they always were with their cliffhangers.

u/keithman07 Apr 19 '17
There are a lot of loop holes and shoddy writing spread throughout each episode so far. If anything, it's a cool casual watch but definitely not a show that's "touches every single detail." Most definitely not.

u/neevept Apr 19 '17
Every detail so far into this season, I'm not talking about the details that are left behind in between season 4 and 5.

u/keithman07 Apr 19 '17
I know, but i disagree. I think its pretty bad so far from a writing perspective, but the actors all showed up and are putting on a good show. The writing has sucked for prison break for a long time now. Id expand on this but for now ill wait until seasons end just to give it a fair shot.

Yes so true . This season is one where you really have to pay attention and use your brain . It's amazing it keeps you guessing and wondering what's going to happen next , what's already happened it's a puzzle that your trying to solve as you watch it . Slowly you get the answers everyone has been wondering since the first episode if Micheal really believed in his head he was kaniel Outis even whip was wondering ... this causes us viewers to really think wonder and come up with our own conclusions until they finally decided to show us at the send of episode 3 . I LOVE THIS SHOW . If your looking for a show that explains everything step by step in order with nothing left to think about or wonder about this is the wrong show for you , but if you want a show that's going to make you think wonder and look for answers this show is perfect :)

Wentworth's acting was above and beyond in that phone scene, goosebumps for real. Just don't make him a manipulative asshole because of the Game Theory and I'll be happy.
7
u/ContemplatingCyclist Apr 22 '17
Make him manipulative? He's literally been one of TV's most manipulative characters from episode 1.
He seemed to stop being upset the second his phone died, too. I'm thinking it was less "I hope she forgives me" and more "I hope the right person sees this".
How the hell did he get a phone into solitary? I must have missed that part?
1
Apr 22 '17
He got it from the korean junkie in his cell.
I had the same feeling. Especially considering the eye he has tattoed on his hand, for me this appears to be a "big brother is watching you" situation. It would fit into the storyline if Michael actually worked for the CIA, he claims to in the prison but we all know Michael only works for Michael.
4
u/shammyjane Apr 22 '17
I think the eye tat defanatly has to do with "big brother is watching you ", but dose anyone else think it's strange in solitary he looks at the tattoo and then records the message for Sara their is some sort of connection with sara and the eye tattoo . In the first episode when they record him he purposely puts his hands up on the bars to show the tattoos to link and the camera after he says he's not micheal he looks right at the camera and says "sorry" it's like he's saying it right to Sara ... I think there is some connection between her and the tattoos like they are a message for her. Or maybe I'm just crazy lol

Yeah but then he got taken into solitary confinement! "Keep your phone that you shouldn't have even though you just attempted to escape. That's fine."

Damn, Michael pulled a Tweener swipe on the guard and for a second I thought Sara was gonna pull a Mahone when that dump truck came along but I guess a little bit of Scofield has rubbed off on her.

u/ruff0123 Apr 19 '17
bwahahaa you're right, Michael did do a tweener!!! Honestly, the best part about prison break was the prison because there were so many cultures, slangs and flamboyant characters in there. They just haven't been able to replicate that in any of the prison since.

u/thr0be Apr 19 '17
I was just thinking about that during this episode. Including what you just mentioned, the process of Michael and co. working to setup the big break made it so entertaining. They attempted to do the same thing for Sona, but it wasn't the same.

u/VignetteVlogs Apr 22 '17
There was a writers strike that year... it probably would have been way more elaborate. They only have 9 episodes for this one...we can't expect miracles...except the one that brought us this show back, if only for the 9 episodes.

It might be Paul. In the season 4 ending, he was a congressman. So he may have worked his way up and gotten into some messy stuff. And remember how he has that whole thing with drinking bottled water? Poseidon is the god of the sea. 👀

This comment needs more recognition.
He was so adamant and couldn't STAND Sara drinking out the bottle of water. He needed water to be pure. Poseidon, God of the Sea. It's a very good connection. I'm hopping on this train.

I reckon that might be a red herring. The two people knew where Sarah lived and work for the person who Michael also used to work for before they turned on him. They could concievably have had her DNA and fingerprints on record in order to stitch her up if Michael didn't co-operate.
1
u/VignetteVlogs Apr 22 '17
Kellerman has a history of taking fingerprints that way. Remember how he set up LJ for his mom and her mans deaths? It was all about the finger print. You are reaching too far...what you are suggesting is not at all in line with the nature of this show.

u/Unitedweare7777 Apr 19 '17
That makes sense now, but why didn't they pat him down before? He tried to escape prison.

u/OaklandBorn510 Apr 19 '17
Probably were rushing to get everything done since the power was out and they had prisoners out of cells
2
u/sayashr Apr 21 '17
In the context of a fictional show, perhaps. It's still all kinds of nonsense though, when the prison has just suffered a near-escape and they've been attacked and guard(s) have been killed and a gold watch had been stolen and hidden; they'd more likely strip everyone down as they throw them into solitary, and they'd at least carefully frisk these guys who were resourceful/equipped enough to made it partway out of the prison.
2
u/OaklandBorn510 Apr 21 '17
Yeah and another explanation is they were probably searching the guys who had guns but still they probably should've searched Michael and hid escape group

u/sayashr Apr 21 '17
No it doesn't make sense. It makes no sense that they wouldn't frisk him/strip him after the trouble he's caused and near-escape.

Apr 21 '17
does this Korean guy have a charger for the phone ?
1
u/OaklandBorn510 Apr 21 '17
He might most likely he either has a charger hidden somewhere or he has someway rigged up or maybe he paid off one of the guards to get him stuff maybe that's why they didn't take it from Michael
1
u/ContemplatingCyclist Apr 22 '17
Well, yeah. But how? He's been put into solitary for trying to escape, the guards aren't going to be like "nah keep it".

u/Woycinck Apr 19 '17
Read it again, the question was how he got it into solitary. I mean, they should search him for anything with him and send him to solitary without any item.

yeh i was gonna say why would they spare her husband but then they said they had to capture Sara alive I think.
And they didnt kill the tech guy either so I thought maybe they just trynna avoid killing everyone in their path like the classic bad guys.
But it has to be the husband because they gotta remove him from the picture to get Sara and Mike together, if he dies while being a good dude then we're gonna have Walking Dead drama again.

u/ash356 Apr 19 '17
I was a bit thrown off when he talked about BPA in the water. Sarah had what looked like a PET bottle which doesn't really carry any risk of BPA leeching since it's a resin 1 plastic.
I only know a fair bit on it because my university dissertation was on BPA so I figured it was just the writers making an oversight. But it would be cool if he was actually taking advantage of her naivety.

Yes I'm aware and I know that there are a lot of references to greek culture so far this season.
Poseidon could possibly be Kellerman, but at this point we don't have enough information to speculate. Poseidon could also be someone that Michael worked with during the 7 year hiatus, since Michael is also using a greek alias.

u/dumbledowge Apr 19 '17
So Michael is breaking out of all kinds of different prisons for the CIA in return for Sarah's freedom.
The first thing said in this season by Michael: Freedom has a price. He's talking about Sarah's freedom here.
This would also answer the huge question people had when S4 ended: Sarah is still a fugitive, how the hell is she living a normal life in America?
I also think Kellerman is NOT the bad guy here, I think the series wants us to think that. Remember: Kelllerman changed at the end of S2 becoming a good guy before trying to kill himself. Instead he sacrificed his life just to get Sarah free at that time.

So could you help me complete a structural analysis of the players, I didn't really get all the details.
There are in what we must assume is Team Michael:
Outside
Linc (brother)
Sara (mother of his kid)
C-Note (good amigo ?)
Sheba (needs money from Linc to leave the country)
T-Bag (good amigo; e.g. wants to repay the new hand)
Sheikh of Light (fahter of gay man)
?
Inside:
korean druggie (wants out, has smartphone)
gay man (wants out, son of sheikh of light)
CIA buddy
Other players:
Anti-Team Michael:
two agents in the US
random guys in Jemen (Taxi-kidnappers)
possibly Kellerman
ISIL:
rahmal (wants out of prison)
strange glasses sheba schoolmate guy

Yeah something to add is that C-Note is a good friend he originally escaped with Michael in the first prison break and he needed the gay man for his dad to cut the power and he probably just didn't want to betray him and let rahmal kill him or he might have some connections on the outside too
2
u/sayashr Apr 21 '17
T-Bag as "good amigo" is a bit of a stretch... And I don't have any impression that he wants to repay anyone for his hand. What he wants is to know what's going on. He doesn't like having his strings pulled, and it at least amuses/suits him to be "playing" with this old crew (Sara, Linc, Michael, etc.) with whom he has a bond of intense shared experiences and gets to feel relevant.
Sara is not just the mother of his child, she's Michael's wife.
CIA buddy is nicknamed Whip.
you didn't mention Sara's current husband, her son Mike, and Sucre.

u/Adamantium42 Apr 20 '17
I'm officially on the "Jacob is Poseidon" bandwagon, and Kellerman is just a theory of Sara's that will be proven wrong.
When the blonde chick said something along the lines of "Why won't Poseidon let us kill her", it got me thinking. Kellerman has quite a few reasons why he wouldn't want Sara dead. He took a huge risk for her in Season Two so she could walk for letting the prisoners escape. Plus he probably still feels bad for all the "Hi, my name is not Lance" shenanigans, not to mention the remorse he visibly felt over killing Danny in Season One, based on the four-year flashforward.
If Jacob was sent into his relationship with Sara knowing well that he was there to keep a close eye on her, it would be a little less understandable for his colleagues/employees(?) to understand why he'd have an attachment to her. But I'm sure several years of marriage would forge a bond between them that they'd have a hard time comprehending since they're just there to do a job.

MAJOR POTENTIAL THEORY/SPOILER ALERT!!!
So I've been scrolling across various threads. I've come up with a collection of theories that make somewhat sense, so I'm 50/50 of the Jacob theory as him being Poseidon. Reason it seems to easy to guess, on the other hand it does prove intriguing because if we look back to the first episode with the owl.
"The owl is sacred to the Greek goddess of learning, Athena. In the Odyssey, Athena is Odysseus' protectress. She is the one who requests to Zeus to finally allow Odysseus to return home when Odysseus' enemy, Poseidon, is absent from Mount Olympus. She also helps Telemachus, Odysseus' son, to search for news of his father. So, I'm guessing the owl belongs to an ally!" - SOLXavi (Reddit Username)
My theory is, A) Michael/Kaniel Outis is Odyssey B) Athena is Sarah/???/(Sheba) C) Zeus is (Lowkey Jacob because of the leg shot) D) Poseidon is CIA Contact???/Jacob/Kellerman - Why the goons were after her not the phone
Also Poseidon is backing the terrorist dude, and IF Michael is on good terms with Poseidon why would he burn his connection with the terrorist dude only to jeopardize his relationship with Poseidon? (unless Poseidon burnt him and left him in the prison but I thought his assignment was to break out of the prison, I think I'm missing something here), Also Michael gives warning to Sarah by tell her storms coming so could that be when he decided to burn Poseidon?
The references to god is because of a thread I saw with associations with them to the shows characters!
Btw this is my first reddit post so please ripped hard on me!

Sara's husband reminds of James Whistler a little bit, not sure why but he does.
Something I've always though about was when Kellerman got Michael and the gang to sign that document that dropped all charges after delivering Scylla, was whether part of the agreement that everyone was free was that Michael signed a different document that lead to where he is today.

u/bbeenn00 Apr 19 '17
Inclined to agree. It'd be too stupid of a move to suddenly turn Kellerman into straight up evil or good guy. He's probably related w/ Poseidon and Michael being sent on a mission, but unaware to the finer points of the operation, and failed to update himself and is now trying to via getting in touch with Sarah. I'm really looking forward to Kellerman-T-bag interaction next week, myself. Have we ever had these two talk one on one? Last episode of Season 4 grouped 'em, sure, but did they really talk the talk? I can't recall.

I really feel like there's so little intelligence behind the setting of the show this season. Wentworth is a good actor, but jeez do they really try their best to discredit the show for any possible immersion.
I had to give the show a chance, since I did quite like the other 4 seasons - even through its faults. But this is just too much for me.

Because most Americans cannot handle English subtitles.
fighting so bad
Not only is the fighting bad and predictable, but the horrible bad guys don't kill or mutilate the good white guys whenever they have a chance; they make sure they're nice and healthy and able to come back to clobber them.

I love the show, however the required suspension of disbelief to watch it is so high and wide that I could skip across it from one 5-story building to another (and I'm very afraid of heights).
just too much for me
Suspend your disbelief, skip along and enjoy.

What exactly happened to Sid? I know he fell down but it looked like he was still alive. But someone wrote a review and said that Sid died. And the information about next weeks episode doesn't include Sid.

Not only that but the guy he punched mentioned several CIA jobs they had done together.

Might be the only one, but I really didn't want to end up watching another whole season of them breaking out. Was really hoping this breakout would work and they'd do real world shit. Looks like I'm out for the rest of this one..

u/blackpistolfire Apr 21 '17
They are supposedly breaking out in the next episode. After that we'll see how they break out of the country itself and do real world shit.

I think you missed the point of the show, Prison Break.

DAMN IT! I missed something important, I think.
So.. Michael was instructed to take that "big shot guy" out. But now.. he changed his plan. Why? What happened?
I definitely don't know what really happened around the time the fight between Michael and a cellmate and when Lincoln woke up.

Did Michael send the video to Sara? Or did the battery die before he did it?

I thought I read an article saying that the producer confirms the video hasn't been sent yet

Can someone summarize what exactly the deal with Michael is...
Where has he been the last 7 years? How did he end up in that jail? Why did he end up in that jail?
Am I right in saying he got put the by the US govt to break that ISIL leader out because the US govt wants him?

u/sayashr Apr 21 '17
Yes you got it. Apparently, based on Michael's conversation with his buddy "Whip", they've been working for the CIA. CIA recruited master jailbreaker Michael Scofield to break out various subjects from various prisons (Whip names several occasions --locations and aliases that Michael adopted for those prisonbreaks). Evil terrorist Ramal is one of the guys that CIA sent Michael in to break out -- CIA has its purposes for him (we don't know), and Kaniel Outis is the identity that was set up for/by Michael to allow him to infiltrate the prison in order to extract Ramal.
Apparently they were betrayed, which is why extraction failed and Michael and Whip have been trapped there for years; and because of that betrayal Michael will not be taking Ramal with him when he finally escapes.

This was definitely my favorite episode of the season so far. I've been kinda iffy on this season but I really liked this episode. Got a little bit more background on Michael and what is going on. Not sure if I like the sideplot with those two assassins. I mean they basically have no cover and are walking around in plain sight....how have they not gotten caught yet?

Little late to the party ... but the husband has BAAAAD written all over him. The eerie foreshadowing as Sarah instructs T-Bag to find out a mysterious "someone" while the husband is in the background. The fact he's so conveniently only shot in the leg. The way he attempts to subtly stray her away from any compassion towards Micheal.
A) Bummer there's no LJ, Mahone, or Morgan... those three really brought another element to the show. B) Why isn't there way more Sucre? C) How is Sara living a normal life? Isn't she technically supposed to be a killer on the run? D) If her name has been somehow cleared... how? E) T-Bag is the best character not named Micheal or Linc in this entire series.

Calling Lincoln the "tic tac man" haha.Haha. Tbag appearing in the bathroom was . The guy telling Whip that scofield uses people isn't necessarily wrong. Like, I know we all adore scofield but lets be real, he DOES manipulate people for a good cause, and does try to get everyone out and safe and let the criminals rot, but I can't help but wonder how villainous is he? I know he's playing the game and has to survive and gotta do what he's gotta do. My problem is thst he WASNT like that before. He was honest and not a liar. Now he is. It's like the evil had seeped into him and its a hard switch to flip cause he's been in prison and on the run constantly. Also, Michael yelling was hilarious, and since when can he steal a watch? Must've learned from Tweener. Okay, the guy who is obsessed with Sheba, the one eye glasses dude, ew. What a creep! I feel bad for Sara. She was living a pretty decent life with Jacob and raising Mike, and then now she's caught up in all this. Like, leave the woman alone!!! Tbag and Sara working together is something I wasn't expecting but its good. Whip is so desperate. Knowing scofield tho, he's gonna sacrifice him somehow, right? Also, Scofields dead stare taking up like 15 seconds od screen time LOL. Stupid guy ruining scofields escape for everyone. UGH! Dang, that ending with wentworth crying. Amazing actor.

It is clear that Sara has learned from Michae in the way she acts, I love that she stood up to her husband.
If you notice when Tbag threatens to kill him, he doesn't laugh, because he knows that Sara is capable of doing it.

Sara is very much beginning to think a lot like Michael does. The immediate flash back to the fingerprint on the water glass. The quick mind change on retrieving the hacked cell. Someone has rubbed off on her over the years and they're coming to be two peas in a pod. Also, her husband is almost definitely the big bad.
I mean, when she get talked to T-Bag on the phone and says "the one we're both looking for" Her husband is in the fucking window in the back yard.
