Goofs

During Dr. Gudat's death scene, T-Bag pulls up a pink-colored medication. Based on the size of the syringe and the color of the liquid, T-Bag injects between 5 and 7mls of euthanasia solution into his intended victim. However, this amount would not be adequate to cause death in a patient that weighs more than 60lbs. As Dr. Gudat appears to weigh over 100lbs, T-Bag would not have successfully killed Dr. Gudat.

Quotes

Courthouse Attorney: How was Scofield able to have exclusive access to you, pull a shank on you, and bind you to your chair? You, the warden of the penitentiary.
Warden Henry Pope: I trusted him. Obviously, he betrayed that trust.

User Reviews

To Courthouse and to Utah

Michael and Lincoln split from Sucre, C-Note and Abruzzi, and plan to rescue LJ from the Cook County Courthouse in Chicago. However, agent Mahone unsuccessfully presses LJ to betray his father and his uncle and make a deal; then he escorts LJ and spoils their plan. Meanwhile T-Bag kills Dr. Gudat after the implantation of his hand, dyes his hair and uses the car of the veterinary surgeon to head to Utah. Tweener pretends to be a college guy and gets a ride to Utah in the car of a student. Warden Pope and Captain Bellick are interrogated in a hearing of a justice commission and Geary denounces Bellick of selling the Prison Industries to Abruzzi; the panel fires Bellick and suspends Pope, who quits his position.

In "Otis", it is clear that the smart agent Mahone, who is trying to get into Michael's head, will foresee Michael's plan and will be on his tail. The running to Utah will certainly be another subject of this Second Season. And the motivation of Brad Bellick will be also to chase the fugitives. The show is good, but the physical resistance of T-Bag seems to be exaggerated. My vote is eight.
