Prison Break: Season 3, Episode 5 "Interference" (F)
How did we get here? I keep asking myself that question every time this show comes on. Sona is easily the least believable prison ever with the most senseless and incompetent guards who allow the use of cell phones and do not bother to search every closet while hunting for a gun. Barring that one intense moment where the guard shot back at Michael's half-binocular, nothing good happened in this episode. I feel like Michael and Whistler and Lincoln and Whistler's girlfriend are having the same exact conversations about their loved ones behind help captive and how they are not "doing it for them". We get the point. This whole breaking out of prison thing has become a contest rather than a feat. Michael is ready to go in twenty-four hours even though I feel like he has no idea what the hell he is doing. Just because FOX is thrilled to promote a two-hour event in two weeks does not mean that its characters should be rushed and made to seem ridiculous (though of course Michael getting out of Sona would be the best thing to happen to the show in a while, and should by no means be delayed).
P.S. Do not watch the previews for the next episode ever. I would have thought that wanting to see Michael try to break out of prison would have been enough to lure viewers back, but apparently FOX feels the need to give away the entire episode. They were getting better about this after promos for "24" a few years back used to reveal way too much and then they cut down on the spoilers, but now they are really slipping again.
