good episode and its only gonna get better

[matejbuljan · 8/10 · 3 May 2017]

i see this is already rated lower than 7.7 right now(210+ votes)

i kinda get it why, i mean this entire episode could've been put into 10- 15 minutes when you think about it

but nevertheless the ending was good imo, the season 1 kinda ending, y'know the cliffhanger, the good kind...

and you can't expect everything to be sorted out half way through the season, we still have 4 episodes to go

Getting better with another satisfactory episode!(Spoilers)

[Shmaden · 8/10 · 3 May 2017]

Surprised by the low rating this movie got, but in my opinion it was the most satisfying episode to date and one of the best of this resurrection series. Here's my report:

This episode was the one with the most revelations up until now. The story that Michael tells Linc is one I'd expect since Sara was not legally free at the end of season 4. But what I didn't like was that this episode made Kellerman useless in the season 4 end. Michael says Poseidon told him that Kellerman didn't have the "authority" to exonerate their crimes, but this might be just a lie told by Poseidon... we can all interpret as we each want. What I did like was the fact that among his story he finally said that all this was in order to make Sarah and Linc free, which makes a lot of sense and fill in a lot of the holes the season 4 finale had. The rest of the episode is basic Prison Break manhunt with the group trying to get away from ISIL after killing their leader. Jacob does something that surprised and intrigued me for the rest of this season with him catching those two henchmen.

Overall this is a very satisfying episode and as a fan I'm sure that anyone could enjoy because this is what the fans wanted for so long. The only thing that I didn't like was that part of the revelation of Michael. In the end I'd say this is one of the best episodes of this resurrection series and makes up for the series 4 dreadful finale.

Jacob behaves suspiciously. There must be something he hides.

I have a feeling that Jacop is not who he says he is. He seems to have arranged things so Sara should restore confidence in him. Sara shouldn't be so gullible. Michael is overusing his resources. He should listen to Linc more. If he had listened to Linc earlier,they would have caught the plane.

Epic episode!!!!

The first episode of this season already blew me away. Then the second and third were kinda disappointing and I was afraid that this season was going to fail. But then episode 4 happened and I loved that episode. But nothing compared to this episode! Cause OH MY GOD! It had the Prison Break feeling I remembered from season 1. So good!!

The pace of this episode, the 'easter eggs' we got (The plane, the phonebooth where Sara was standing, the handcufs, the train.), the fighting and the brothers back together.

This episode had that feel of "Are they going to make it". That was the same feeling I had before they escaped Fox River. It's that sitting on the edge of your seat, not wanting to miss a second of the episode. Curious what will happen next, how are they going to get out.

And then there is that Jacob storyline. That part where the writers really play with your mind. Is Jacob good after all or is he still a snake? What's up with that guy. Personally, I still don't trust him. Even though for a moment I was like 'Oh good! He's not so bad! Maybe he's good after all.'

This episode was just fast. Gave us so much. Much action, a bit of answers, more questions. A typical amazing Prison Break episode. Is it next week yet?

best episode so far

[shax_ra · 10/10 · 5 May 2017]

Spoilers**Brought prison break intensity back. This episode has everything. Best episode so far. From brothers reunion to villain behind all of this. There was a clear and believable explanation for Michael fake death. There were many scenes where you will experience adrenaline rush. SO SO WAITING FOR THE NEXT

Pacing is fast enough to forget the weaknesses

[lorddnarbsy · 5/10 · 21 June 2017]

I like the 'city is a prison approach' but nothing really memorable happens in this episode. The dialogue that has been written for these characters is so poor, that you don't feel anything when they try to be emotional. This show is spoon feeding the audience the information though forced dialogue, because apparently we can't think and make connections for ourselves. Fortunately, the pacing is fast enough, so you don't dwell on these shortcomings.

It's a shame that the prison plot was resolved so quickly because now they rehash the overused conspiracy plot lines which are the far less interesting aspects of the show in my opinion.

On a side note: please develop your characters more, Scheuring. Don't use the old familiar ones on the sidelines where don't actual contribute much to the plot and use new faces which you don't give any development (because that screen time is given to the familiar faces; T-Bag, C-Note etc.) If you develop your characters more, than we actually might give a sh*t when someone gets killed of. There all completely forgettable, dull and bland now.

But to end on a positive note, the action and pacing keeps me interested and I will tune in next time.
