Everybody Dance the Running Man! -

It's really funny to watch the next scene of Dr. Sara Tancredi in her ICU room, kept alive only by tubes after her guilt-ridden OD from last season. She literally opened the door for the convicts to escape due to the warm tingly feeling she used to get (down there) whenever Michael entered the room. As I've mentioned before, Dr. Sara was supposed to go to the big hospital in the sky with the overdose, but rumor has it big man (yes Murdoch) came down from on high to give Dr. Sara a last minute reprieve. Let me also take this time to express, in full disclosure, my incredible unabashed crush on Dr. Sara. That being said this scene in which two off camera doctors (at least I assume it's a doctor or nurse) say that "if she fights she lives," felt a little forced and clunky to me. Especially since we see Dr. Sara's memories of the past few days (especially that kiss between her and Michael - swoon ladies, swoon), which leads her to let out a huge breath and spring to life like someone from Shaun of the Dead. It even feels like it was retooled or something after they decided to let her live a la Carol Hathaway. That being said: Dr. Sara is very pretty (Yes, Jill's mom's worst fears have come true - that I would in fact, dedicate a portion of my recap to obsessing over Dr. Sara. My bad Ei!)
T-Bag (lucky for him he doesn't need to change that name - no hands needed!), who lost his hand to an axe-wielding Abruzzi after he handcuffed himself to Michael durig the escape, has been ditched by his brothers in arms (!). He's making due (reference to The Fugitive's one-armed man, maybe?) as he stumbles into a camp sight looking for supplies. The couple who were sleeping in the tent awake to find the handless wonder rumbling about. They confront him, but T-Bag sticks a shiv in their faces. You can take the boy out of Fox River but you can't take the Fox River out of the boy, it seems.. For some reason this young guy doesn't use his two good hands to knock T-Bag out allowing him to steal his hat and a cooler. A cooler you say? Yeah, that's for T-Bag's severed hand. This show is definitely not for people who think that 24's problem is too much realism. Before T-Bag leaves he politely says thank you to the scared shitless couple, and I can't help but think that as far as pedophilic murdering sociopaths are concerned T-Bag isn't so bad.
Agent Mahone is noticing Scofield's tattoo and his partner estimates that it must've taken anywhere from 100 - 200 hours to get done. That's a lot of ink for an Engineer. Yes, yes it is Agent Mahone. Thank God for you, because no one else has put that together yet. What the hell is a guy like Michael Scofield doing with such elaborate, body covering tatoos? Mahone wants to meet with Scofield's tattoo artists. Soon after, he meets up with the big ego wound that is Bellick. Mahone wants to collaborate with Bellick on the chase, but Bellick, being the stock character he is, doesn't need any help. He's hot on the trail. "By definition that means you're always behind your prey," says Mahone. Who is Bellick anyway? Can he really go head to head with an FBI Special Agent? I realize that Mahone can't officially take over the case until the boys cross state lines, but shouldn't Bellick, or someone, be back at the prison? Where are the state police? Why is a correctional officer leading the hunt for America's Most Wated. John Walsh would be pissed off.
I've got to say that with such an endearing lead in Michael Scofield (I'm not the hugest Wentworth Miller fan and his somewhat wooden acting, but you can't help but root for the guy), Prison Break has seamlessly incorporated Agent Mahone into the mix. You can't help but root for this guy either. Which totally contradicts rooting for Michael! What a mindbang! At 7:59 PM I was still pretty bummed out about the untimely cancellation of Invasion, but as of 9:01 PM I couldn't be more glad that Daddy Tom was free of that Floridian wasteland. What can I say, my middle name is "fairweather johnson."
