Storytime: Prison Break 0305 Interference

I think, for me at least, the next episode (or maybe two) is going to dictate how strong a note Prison Break ends on. If it continues at it’s current pace and the Schofield and company exit Sona in a timely manner then I feel that the season has a fighting chance. However, if the writers decide to futz around and delay the escape then I think they may encounter some problems, especially with ending the numerous plotlines still open. There is a lot to do in the 19 episodes or so left in the series
I have all extremities (yes, all of them) crossed that the writers aren’t so stupid as to conform to the latter, especially considering the great set up that Interference has created.

The main problem confronting the former is the introduction of a new character (who is unnamed at this stage right?) in a most Lost like way. And I don’t like Lost damnit, if I want to be denied satisfaction and have a vague notion that people are laughing at me then I’ll talk to a girl (well I won’t, but that’s another story, Lost-esque in itself). This is Prison Break, which is generally pretty good at giving answers in a quick manner.

Really, did anyone not figure that Whistler’s story wasn’t kosher? I generally make a note not to trust Australians (which makes life difficult) and I am especially wary of trusting Australians stuck halfway from home in Panama prison. I doubt that our unnamed friend will unravel the whole escape plan; rather he’ll just add more questions to inevitably (or not) answer.

Just as Whistlers story is gradually coming out, I imagine (or hope…) that the same will be done to the latest Sona inductee. I mean, I think that we can safely assume that he didn’t just stumble into Sona for a DWI (or DOA…) and there is some sort on sneaky shenanigans at hand. Maybe he’ll actually have a hand in the escape, I imagine that he’ll be accompanying them out what ever the case.

Speaking of that, the whole concept of the numbers involved in the escape is pretty interesting. I mean, there are still regular characters that are not yet in on the place, and it’s kind of difficult to believe that Prison Break would just abandon them down old South America way. So I dunno, maybe a full blown Prison revolt and the whole jail gets out, or characters such as T-Bag could meet their demise in Sona.

As much as I’d like to see Prison Break break (sorry…) out and something interesting like that, I think it’s probably going to play in the same way as season one with T-Bag seeing some he shouldn’t, thus hitching his wagon onto the escape train.

Speaking of the escape, I’m really enjoying the way that it’s coming together to be a very sketchy affair. It stands in stark contrast to the meticulously planned escape of the first season. This is nothing but balls-to-the-wall relying of coincidental craziness.
But really, where are the other prisoners? Why is Schofield running around like some tattooed fucking gremlin stealing everything in sight?

I probably haven’t talked about what actually happened on Interference and that’s because as I said, it really feels like a set up episode. What’s more, nothing really interesting happened outside of the escape plan. The Sucre B-Story felt kind of stupid, uninteresting and so obviously tacked on to feature prominently in another episode it wasn’t funny, and T-Bag still being sleazy? Meh. The only thing that struck me as cool was the duality of Mahone as being either helpful or in a Season Three Jack Bauer like state of withdrawal (although not as awesome).
