Prison Break – 301 – Orientacíon
Prison Break is back! If you read a previous post of mine, you would know this is my favourite TV show! To make things more awesome, it has gone back to its roots. I didn’t enjoy the man hunt theme of last season, and am glad it is now set in a prison again with a break out imminent. The fact it is set in another country’s prison (Panama), ensures it will not be too similar to season 1.
The episode resumed practically where the show had ended from last season. Michael, along with Mahone, T-Bag, and Bellick have been dumped into the Panamanian prison, Sona. It opens with a brutal, muddy, and bloody duel in the rain, confined by a ring of cheering inmates, until only one combatant are left, making the survivor, the victor. Quite an opening, which really sets the tone for the new prison, and lets you know straight away that this is going to be a much harsher environment than Fox River.
I won’t go into the specifics any further, as you can read it further down from an official source. The situation Bellick is in now, is like karma at work, bringing him back down from his previous selfish sins. So far I like the new characters, and the fact even though they don’t have guards or rules anymore, the inmates have formed their own rules and legal system, even if they are very harsh. Another reason to escape other than the obvious has already arisen in the form of a mysterious man in the sewers named Whistler. I can’t wait to see what plan Michael comes up with, and there is great potential for him to collaborate with Mahone, who also has a brilliant mind. The wait for the next episode is painful, just like it always was for me with the first season! Below you can read an episode summary, followed by a link to the official, in-depth, episode recap.
