Prison Break - Scylla / Breaking & Entering - It's Back!
Omigosh! How the writers were able to transform a show titled "Prison Break" into a show about breaking in is beyond me -- BUT I LOVE IT! Scofield and the ragtag group of cons is now the new A-Team and Mission: Impossible!
This 2-hour premiere reminds me of some of the good episodes from Season 1 and 2. It will take a bit of getting used to -- you know, not being chased by the "law" all the time, but I'm excited for future episodes.
Wentworth Miller is HOT!
Recap (with spoliers), best effort:
Let's put it this way, it's complicated enough to get me wanting for more.
Scofield is back in the U.S. in revenge mode vs. Whistler and Gretchen who are "The Company" operatives. Whistler double-crosses Gretchen by making a copy of the Scylla data card which contains all the secrets of "The Company". This gets Gretchen demoted in "The Company" -- and possibly an ally to Scofield since even if everybody thinks she's dead, at the end of the episode, apparently she's being tortured in order to find leads regarding Scofield's wherabouts.
Meanwhile, Scofield is informed that Sarah is in fact allve, and now he has a new mission -- find her. However, things are in play that will make that unnecessary: all our main characters (except T-Bag) are conveniently apprehended by the authorities in the U.S. It turns out that a rookie agent from Homeland Security wants to recruit Scofield and his group to help bring down "The Company" once and for all. This looks like this is the real deal good guys, and not like Alex when he was a double-crossing agent. And then there was a scene where Sarah is revealed to be alive! Shocker! She's alive! And then she joins the team as well. Omigosh -- what the heck is going on? They even have a "secret base" in LA and all the crap.
So the mission: Break into "The Company" headquarters and bring them down once and for all. After all the evil things "The Company" has done to all the characters over the past 3 season -- sometimes on each other. Not an easy task since nobody knows where the headquarters is, and all they have as a lead was one data card which Whistler stole -- who by the way lost his copy since he was killed by an all-new "Company Thug".
I'm not going to get into the details of how they got the card data back, but in the end they find out that there are FIVE MORE cards they need to retrieve. Yay! More episodes. Woohoo!
I really like the story now: just the simple, us vs. "The Company" and see who wins the cat and mouse game. It's not going to be easy for Scofield, but the twists and turns in the episode was quite clever so I am looking forward to next week as usual.
Prison Break is back! Another fun season ahead!
Wentworth Miller is HOT!
