"I am TRYING to watch FUTBOL!"
Scopes and ropes and dope, oh my! They're having trouble getting out, but Sucre manages to get some drugs in. Some new guy shows up saying he knows Whistler. Michael's cool plan almost gets him a bullet in the head but the Birds of the Northwest Hemisphere save the day. Linc flirts with Sofia and devises a getaway plan, but Michael finds himself pretty much at square one with just a few hours left. Yikes.
3.05 Interference. Nighttime in Sona. Michael leans out of his window throwing stuff at a rat. He balls up some foil, and we get some shots of the electrical system, so I'm like, woohoo, MacGyver Michael! But actually he's just trying to see how much movement a creature can make before it gets itself shot off the planet. Answer: very very little. Somehow a military jeep is alerted to the possibility of movement, and someone with a gun is able not only to find it, but shoot it. So yeah, doesn't bode so well for Michael, who is almost certainly smarter than a rat but also much, much easier to shoot from 50 yards out.
In the yard the next day, the doors open to usher in a new guest. An old crumpled paper cup blows in from outside and Mahone snatches it up eagerly, and looks at it with pride. He's looking more and more like that homeless guy who hangs out under the overpass. Except hotter. Anyway, he's all crazy and muttery, and, presumably, high as a kite. He pesters Michael sarcastically about how, being a devoted student of Michael's previous work, he's really looking forward to progress on his escape plan. Heh. Michael's really looking forward to Mahone getting off his back. Hey now, he may have killed your dad, but he also killed that one guy who was thisclose to stabbing you during that muddy deathmatch, so maybe things even themselves out for now? What with you being alive and all? Of course, we understand he's a little snippy. The previouslies reminded us that he only has a week to get Whistler out of a prison where guards can shoot a 5-inch rat from past field goal range. Cause if he doesn't, they'll totally cut his girlfriend's head off and put it in a box before he can even get to second base. Oh, wait. God dammit. Quick check: Yup, still bitter.
So the new guy rolls in, and he's just some guy with an indeterminate accent. There are a lot of those around Sona. Sammy introduces himself as the Sona Welcoming Committee, by which I mean, he headbutts him and steals his wallet.
Linc's fence visits are getting incredibly tense. He tells Michael they don't have the book anymore, he had to give it to Susan. He doesn't mention that he handed it over with his tail between his legs after the whole "head in a box" thing. Which reminds me, what does one do with a dear friend's head when one finds it in the trash heap in a parking garage? I mean, do you just leave it there to get picked up with the banana peels and coffee grounds? That's Sara, yo! That's fucked up! But it's not like he can put it in the freezer for a proper burial later or anything. Wow, what a dilemma. Someone should ask Dear Abby or something. Anyway, Michael is getting annoyed with Linc's non-answers to his questions, and Linc is getting annoyed with Michael for asking them. What did Linc get in return for the book? Why didn't he get new pictures of Sara and LJ like he was supposed to? Linc ad libs that they showed him photos but wouldn't let him keep them, and dude, they're not in a position to deal with these guys, they are pissed. And not in the good, British sense of the word. Michael says fine, they break out tomorrow. He needs Linc to find an inconspicuous getaway car to have parked a half-mile from the prison by 3pm tomorrow. Linc's like, wait, don't you mean 3am? Michael summarizes his rat experiment and explains that at night there's no way to tell where the military jeeps are parked. They're leaving tomorrow, and they're doing it in the middle of the day. Dun!

Its going to be very interesting to see how micheal will deal with knowing about sara. I really hope micheal and linc kill susan shes so annoying. All in all this was a pretty good episode though-plenty of t-bag and mahone, who are both so awesome.
The screencaps were so hilarious!A lot of things were the same things me and my brother were thinking when we were watching.

Bringin it as usual, Loula!
My hysterical cackling has once again annoyed my co-worker in the next cube but man, the bit about the "gross guy smelling the Japenese girls underwear he got on ebay" was tooooo funny...
And I heart you even more after reading "christ on a cracker" which happens to be my favorite way to take the Lord's name in vain.
That said, I have to agree with you on the headless Sara quip made by Snoozin...would have been way more kickass if Kellerman had delivered the line. I miss him as well. I do like his character on Private Practice but he needs a haircut! Its all frayed and un-kellerman like. much hotter on PB.
Do you have any scoop on Fox's scheduling plans? I read that come January, PB will go on hiatus till April. So that most likely means that after the 2 hour ep next time, we'll get November Sweeps and December reruns and then what? do we have wait till April....Garrhhh. Why oh why do they do this to us?

Sara,Smara - she is still off with Gwyneth searching for their head, or is it searching for their body?
As for Mahone, give me a moment of Mahone any day off that Whistling Dude... in fact the photo included in the recap caused my heart to skip a beat. Perhaps he is dreaming of me???
You have a point about the actor playing Bellick. Any man willing to walk around in tighty whities and then those hilarous harlequin pants deserves an emmy for "best dressed", or "best show of bravery". And T-bag alone with Sister Mary Puta (love the name), when he wiped away her mascara you just knew she was lost to him forever. The man does have some compassion, look at those poor souls locked in the cellar of his home back in Georgia. Let's hope his compassion is spread throughout Sona in all its glory - Look out Sammy!!!!
Linc and Sofia - oh yeah that was a hot moment, who cares what's in the cooler. For those of you complaining about two weeks off - in two weeks I am on a plane back home to South Africa where I will have to rely on TVgasm to get me through until next May when they will finally begin to show the third season of PB. William Fitchner ever been to Cape Town? Let me show you around.

Oh mamabird, I can always count on you. And I have many favorite ways of taking the lord's name in vain, but that tends to be the one that pops out most often. I'm kind of surprised I haven't said it several times a week.
The hiatus periods work okay for me because I get a couple weeks off here, a couple there, and the season starts a lot earlier than the other networks. So it's spread out over a few months, and I am okay with that! That 2 hour ep is going to be rough, maybe I'll recap it in two chunks a week apart.
And you know, I did like Sara, but my heartbreak about the situation has way more to do with like, plot issues, specifically, Michael's motivations and general mental state. Like, even if I'd hated Sara I'd still be worried about what they're going to do with him now - will he turn into this bitter, Mahone-like vengeance machine? Well, I guess now that I spell it out like that, that would be kind of cool. I just dread the reveal, because he's the main character, we're on his side, we like him, he's pretty much a really good guy, and it's his clueless determination now, and the promise of a really unpleasant reaction later, that breaks my heart, more than just feeling sorry for Sara.

I absolutely dread the "reveal" too. I have a totally irrational, tiger-beat type crush on Michael (who happens to be my #1 TV boyfriend) and it will break my heart to see his motivation shattered. Especially since, as you have pointed out, they never got to close the deal or have any type of normalcy so far. And for us fangirls with Michael-love, never getting the voyeristic opportunity to see that resolution is tragic.
That said, the next best thing may be to see him turn into a bitter mahone-like venegence machine.

I haven't finished reading the recap, so I'm just gonna comment on the episode.
I like this show, but man is it frustrating to see Michael back at square one for the 156th time.
I knew when we were actually hearing him describe his plan to Whistler that something was gonna come and foil it. Michael's plans only work when we don't know what they are. *sigh*
Also, show? Please give Michael another shirt to wear. He's had the same sweat stain on the same shirt for at least a week now. As each episode passes, it's getting harder for me to suspend my disbelief that he still smells like my favorite cologne.
Lilah, I love Cape Town! I was thinking about moving to South Africa - until you told me they're not showing Prison Break there, yet. Have you seen the African American Idol? Hi-larious!

Loula, please please please don't make us wait out your recap of the 2-hr eppy. This show is already suspenseful enough. I'd rather wait and read your recap of the entire episode all at once.
As for the whole Sara debacle. I wasn't so in love with the character herself. I just liked that she allowed us to see Michael's tender side towards a non-relative (i.e., Sensitive Michael is hot!). Now, we're gonna see Bitter Michael, who I'm sure is also hot, but still...They could've found another redhead in Hollywood to play Sara.
In other PB romance news, isn't it too soon for Linc to be moving on to a new love interest? It's always hard to tell with the timeline of this show 'cuz time crawls by, but it's probably only been a month or two since Veronica died, right?

"So you think Fox is hiring Sweat Stain Application Artists? Cause I'm available."
Oh, Loula. :) I'd quit my job right now to become a Sweat Stain Application Associate.
Btw, have you noticed how they always seem to get Michael's front, but not his back? How does that work exactly? Most people sweat on their backs just as much, if not more, than their chest. Looks like there should be an opening in that position for us soon...

Monocular is a real word.
You even used it the right way (or one of the right ways).

. . . . sigh. It is with a heavy heart that I say PB has gotten bad. Head in box ruined the show. And Scofiled really needs to talk in a normal vpice and not that raised whisper, I can't take it anymore. And how come they don't ever show Michael bicing his head?
