"Prison Break": the most crazy-bananas show on television. Having come late to the series, I've been trying to plug the gaps in my knowledge of this long and sweaty trip to Hell and back, but even superfan Stephen King's gushing recap leaves me a little confused.
Then again, does it really matter? Trying to make sense of "Prison Break" as a whole is like trying to figure out just what exactly Scylla does. You just gotta take the ride and enjoy it, moment by ludicrous moment.
And last night was a pleasingly bumpy one, what with T-Bag and Gretchen's cover getting blown, all six cards finally sliding into the Scylla box thingy, and the gang reveling in having the General by the short hairs. There was even time for a quiet, philosophical moment from T-Bag, who poignantly wanted to know if Trish Ann could ever have bought him as a brilliant salesman/public speaker. Bravo, Robert Knepper.
Of course, the real payoff is at the episode's end, one of those audaciously bonkers moves we "PB" fans have come to rely on. Normally for a serialized show like this, I'd suggest newcomers start at the beginning. "Prison Break," however, only improves with your disorientation.
