Just about everyone overheard Westmoreland tell Michael in the infirmary.

Some of the details annoy me. The hand surgery is practically impossible.

Another plot hole, bah. There's no way those two doofus guards could get ahead of the feds. (them getting together is just cheesy btw) How was the interrogated fat guy supposed to know where they were going to be?
Unless...they followed the fake wife instead, or the fake wife betrayed him.

Yeah, that was one of the best ones yet, some good twists and turns. I wonder if Michael knows about Mahone and this Oscar Shales guy (which is an anagram, "a search loss"! Abruzzi! Nooooooooo!  He was great, at least he had a reat line athis end. Check out the fine pink ass of Holly Valance!  Haywire Status Update: Still no Haywire.

"First Down" is my favourite episode of Season 2 so far. Seriously, opening with a car chase, then cramming the episode with plot twists, throwing in some new character relationships, Holly Vallance dancing in her underwear, T-Bag at his most inappropriate yet, AND killing off another main character? The writers definitely pulled out all the stops for this episode, especially after the last two which really were all over the place. Oh, and Mahone continues to get more interesting as we learn more about him, too. While the show's definitely not the same now that they're out of prison, I'm really beginning to get excited about the direction it's going in...
Though seriously, writers, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HAYWIRE?!?!

Thanks for using the "Spoilers Ahead" guys. Cos I'm still waiting for season 2 to start here in Aussie land. And I don't want to know what's coming up.
I cant wait.

Otis was decent, though I definitely had a lot of trouble suspending my disbelief with the main plot in it... You're definitely right about T-Bag though, the whole thing with the 14-year-old girl was just awesomely wrong.  Faze - Apparentally, Haywire will surface in the 6th episode of this season. Though damn the writers for ignoring such an awesome character for that long (especially when they've given Tweener a frickin' love interest and everything)...

I still have to watch the next one. I was saying what to my post being gone, in the missing post I started off by agreeing that "blasting that foo" would be awesome but you have to remember that those two aren't criminals and are not trying to be, they are making right what is wrong. This season is very good. I hope they have Haywire in a good storyline. Thanks for using the "Spoilers Ahead" guys. Cos I'm still waiting for season 2 to start here in Aussie land.

Well, actually, you might, given that Season 1 was recently released on DVD and all... Anyway, I saw Map 1213. Fairly slow-moving episode, but I definitely like the way the storyline's progressing, especially with T-Bag. Like Season 1's "Tonight," this seems like one of those episodes that was made purely to set up the following episodes rather than anything else, and if the episode that followed Tonight was anything to go by, then we've got some kickass stuff ahead. Looking forward to the return of Haywire next week, too.

Originally posted by Spy: I don't think prison break has decreased in quality but I do think the show will lose some viewers who were only watching for the escape. Apparentally ratings are actually up this season, so, go figure... I don't think it's decreased in quality either, but there have definitely been some changes made with the pacing and the general style, though perfectly understandable. I'm sure it'll become more consistent as it progresses, the first few episodes were quite hectic, as I think we all imagined, anyway. I think the main change is in the (lack of) direction... I mean, with Season 1, we started off with Michael going into prison on a specific mission to break his brother out, and it ended with that mission being completed. Now, the current mission is to find Westmoreland's cash, but after that, the only real mission is to... well, basically evade the authorities for the rest of their lives (besides potential side ones along the way, like rescuing LJ). Even if they blow the conspiracy plot, that's still not going to get them totally off the hook. It's like, where does it end? What is it all leading up to now? Though, having said that, it's still one hell of a ride, and I'm still loving it.

I don't know, I think it's moving slow enough to warrant another one, and I know that the creator said the writers had already begun outlining for the possibility of a third season... I do still love the show enough to want one at this point, but I'll see what my opinion on a potential Season 3 is when the current season is closer to its end.

So what if Mahone wasn't in Season 1? His character is far more interesting than Bellick and Geary - whose goals are pretty simple and straight-forward. Mahone has a lot of mystery around him, and it's great to see how it's playing out, especially with the disturbing twist his character took at the end of "Buried."
Speaking of which, what a great episode. Certainly one of the more epic ones this season - some fucked up plot twists there! This episode was definitely one of the darker ones (with the exception of Haywire's sub-plot, which just feels kinda dumb and child-like, but still somewhat amusing), but still, I enjoyed it. Especially after last week's average episode. I know I'm going to struggle waiting for the next one now.
I can just see the advertising campaign when Season 2 starts down here. "You watched them break out... now tune in to see them get systematically killed off!"

Can someone please tell me where Bagwell's accent is from? I'm guessing Louisiana?

Firstly, I LOVE the twist with T-Bag (though wouldn't you have thought Sucre would check the contents of the fuckin' bag before they got to the forest? God!!!) and I can't wait to see where his storyline is going. Mahone's plot continues to become more and more fucked up, though at least the twist at the end of this one explained a bit.
The show's pacing has become very strange... I mean, it's still fast-paced in terms of the sudden story changes and what-not, but, damn, the concept of time in this show is all over the place. It seems like Map 1213, Subdivison, Buried and Dead Fall all took place on the same day - yet there appeared to be a skip of several days between First Down and Map 1213... Weird. Oh well, I'm sure once the $5,000,000 storyline is over, they'll begin to get into a more consistent swing of things.
Sucre and Michael's relationship is still very sweet, and Bellick's the same as always (though seriously, his relationship with his mum is a little too pathetic for my liking). Wow, Michael has totally screwed up Sarah's life, huh? I'm glad LJ's finally on board as a main character again, they completely lost track of him towards the end of Season 1...
It's becoming VERY difficult to watch this show without thinking "God, this is fucking ridiculous." But, if you can get over that, then it's still a whole lot of fun.
