Comments?

Always intense, though I wasn't really all that tensed when Sucre was doing what he was, but that was quite the way he got himself out of trouble..never would've thought of that. I feel bad for Tweener now that hes stuck with Avocado..thats what happens when youre a rat. And I couldn't help but wince a little when Michael was punching the wall. And yet another monkey wrench in the plan.

[Martianinvader]

Did Scofield REALLY snap.....or was he pretending so he could get into the psych ward and plot a new escape route from there?

This episode provided no answers. Hmm....

[Wonderwall]

Im pretty sure he played. Just the way he switched from wide eyed to his normal brow lowering look is enough to know he wasnt really crazy.

LJ, LJ, LJ... concrete example on why getting revenge is a bad idea, especially if you don't know how or when to do it. He had Agent Kellerman right where he wanted him, but a neighbor caught him sneaking in... that's the end of that story.

Speaking of getting caught... whew, Sucre dodged a bullet there! Getting pinned down outside after successfully cementing the hole. I thought his involvement in the escape plot was done there, but then... whoa nelly, that's why he had T-Bag go after that transsexual inmate!

Michael Scofield... man, he continues to impress. I had no idea what he was doing! Stuck in solitary, I thought he was still struggling to remember the map to the psych ward... tearing up clothing, physically using his blood (after all, he said, "I put all my blood into this.") When he was lying there lifeless, I had no clue he had done that on purpose!

Then came the stuff in psych... at first, well he's there, he can try to physically search for the pipelines. But then... that crazed cellmate of his is back... but he doesn't remember Mike! Crap... that plan goes bust!

8 out of 10 for "J-Cat."

Load of bad luck happening to loads of people.

I hate watching a tape late, but I'm getting to a point now where I can't stand to watch Prison Break (or 24) with commercials. I just want to be able to keep going to find out what happens next!

That was quite the contingency plan Sucre had his place for his most likely capture. T-Bag really took one for the team there. :p I guess Bellick either forgot he used to allow Maricruz to 'visit' or he assumes Sucre has someone else. He was the one who stopped her from coming, so I bet he thinks Sucre has a new "pen pal" he's never met.

Tweener just could not catch a break! You'd think the kid would have figured out helping Bellick was not a good move. Avocado is one scary dude. :eek:

Oh LJ, why didn't you tell Veronica and Nick that you found Kellerman? "Owen" may not press charges to avoid attention, but LJ will at least be jailed for killing his mom and his stepdad. It's not going to be easy getting him out. :shrug: Although it seems Paul is starting to become jaded about what his actual mission is and why he's doing it. He's been a good solider up to this point, but he and Samantha Brinker don't seem to be getting along.

I think to some extent, Michael was going crazy. His plan had fallen apart and what he needed to finish his second plan he no longer had. He wasn't behaving like his usual self and he clearly hadn't had a haircut in a while. No one was watching when he was tearing his shirt into pieces to make himself a map. In retrospect, he was obviously faking by the time Dr. Sara was called in, but I'm sure it was part of that plan when he started punching the wall. By the time Michael was being led into the psych ward I figured he had a plan and then we saw Haywire!

I think it was a solid ep, up until LJ totally blew it. It probably wouldn't have mattered if he killed the SS guy or not, seeing as how even the bad guys don't really like him anymore. But they need him alive if they want a testimony. LJ should bring up the dead guy in the well who scratched out the man's name if he wants to even have a chance of going free.

When Michael switched back to his normal self in the psych ward I went nuts. The guy keeps fooling me! Sucre's plan was great. I love that guy.

Prison Break 1x17: "J-Cat" - ****

[ZeroFate]

Pretty solid episode. The funny thing is Haywire crossed my mind when they mentioned Mike was gonna go to the Pysch ward, but I didn't figure he was a major part of Mike's plan. Sucre actually did something this ep! That was smart of him to use those panties like that.

Is it just me or are Veronica and that guy (forgot his name) aren't really being responsible when it comes to LJ? They leave him alone a lot of the time, when they know there may be other people out to kill the 3 of them. They also traumatize the poor boy now by making him go down into a well where there's a dead body? None of this would have happened if Veronica just stepped to the plate to go down there and get that agent's phone. :P

BTW, I said this back in September on the riot episode talkback...

What if Lincoln’s son was visiting him (for that program he was put in) during the prison riot and got caught in there with him? Then, when Lincoln encounters Teabag (the pedophile), he tries to get to his son instead of the guard. That would have at least gave Lincoln's son some kind of airtime, and add a new dynamic to his relationship with his father (who would probably save him). As of now that kid and his mom serve no purpose to the overall plot...
I think something like this will happen now, but instead of visiting... LJ will be an inmate. It is stretching it a little bit though that Michael, Lincoln, AND LJ would all get sentenced to the same prison...

None of this would have happened if Veronica just stepped to the plate to go down there and get that agent's phone. :PVeronica and Nick aren't being irresponsible when it comes to LJ, but perhaps their level of trust is misplaced. Veronica and Nick need to go out to try and find evidence and meet with judges. Kellerman, Brinker and company are after them, but the police are not. LJ is wanted in a double homocide, he can't wander the streets like they can. I suppose sending him down after Quinn's phone was because he was viewed as the lightest or most agile. I wouldn't be surprised if he weighs less than Veronica. And he saw his mother with a bullet in her head, I don't think you can be any more traumatized after that.

I think something like this will happen now, but instead of visiting... LJ will be an inmate. It is stretching it a little bit though that Michael, Lincoln, AND LJ would all get sentenced to the same prison...I can't believe LJ would get sent to prison to await trial. Jail seems more likely.
