The Most Dramatic Episode
claudio_carvalho3 October 2008
With the unexpected fail of Michael's plan, the five frustrated inmates return to the storage room. Michael begs Sara to talk with Veronica and Nick first to see the evidences and to ask for clemency to her father. Meanwhile Nick and Veronica appeal in court of Judge Kessler and request an exhumation of Steadman remains. Michael learns that if something goes wrong with the electric chair, the execution is delayed. He uses a rat to short-circuit the electric installation, but David overhears the conversation and rats Michael's talk to Captain Bellick. Sara stays with Lincoln in his cell; later Michael and Veronica have a last meeting with him and he talks with his son LJ by phone. When Lincoln is walking to the electric chair, the governor calls to say that he had reviewed the process and denied the request of clemency.

"The Rat" is certainly the most dramatic episode of "Prison Break" up to this moment. Dr. Tancredi is really involved with Michael and Lincoln and the claws of the Vice-President Caroline Reynolds are extending, using her power and influence to execute Lincoln. Fox River is full of rats, the long-tailed rodents and the inmate David. The impressive performance of Wade Williams is again awesome. My vote is nine.

Boring after the first 15 min

Ep 14 Started out good, then became watered down for the last half, it's like they figured we had been without it for so long we wouldn't care if the episode was watered down. I have to say i'm disappointed Fox needs to stick with what made the show so successful. And the report that the footage of the escape that is being show on promotions are just that, promotional footage, that has nothing to do with this season, it was only shot to be a "teaser ad" . This is wrong on fox's part. Also due to the show popularity it has been extended to 44 episodes and will take place over 2 seasons half chronicling the escape and the other half the lives on the run (someone watch the fugitive lately?) Well we saw it happen with lost they'll keep beating this horse till it's dead and gone. Fox has burned us again, thanks fox, for ruining this good show, and one of the best series it has (Kitchen confidential) please leave 24 alone its the last one you haven't destroyed completely (not sure tho after killing tony this week).
