Prison Break: Season 3, Episode 6

Photo Finish

Ah-ha! Whistler isn’t “The Ambassador”, he worked at The Ambassador Hotel! Well that explains that. And now the Spanish guy has conveniently been killed, so we won’t hear anymore about it for awhile.

Are you sensing a note of sarcasm? It’s moments like these I want to throw a rock through my television screen.

Here we are, thinking that Whistler and the Spanish guy both have some kind of mysterious political background - but no, they’re both nobodies. For now…

However, I did think this was a clever episode. I had a minor heart-attack when it appeared that Lechero had stabbed Whistler in the stomach. And a second heart-attack when Evil Green Eyed Lady was about to murder little LJ.

It even seemed for awhile there that the escape might go ahead as planned, until Lincoln breaks the news to Michael that Sarah Tencredi is dead.

And now we’ve got another “Chicken Foot” showdown on our hands, this time between Michael and Whistler. What a great cliffhanger! I have no earthly idea what is going to happen next (and I’m being serious this time).

Funniest moment: Has to be when the Spanish Guy gets his wires crossed about Bellick’s offer of friendship: “I just don’t want to have sex with you. Is that so hard to believe?”. Ha ha…Karma keeps biting Bellick harder every series.

Saddest moment: Poor Michael gets the news about Sarah’s death (thankfully Lincoln left out the specific details).

Biggest potential screw-up: Mahone refuses an offer from the US Authorities, which would reduce a lifetime in prison, to just a few years. Won’t that make them suspicious? They know Michael Schofield is in there, surely these smart men and women can put two and two together? Watch this space…
