Recaps: Prison Break, Sarah Connor Chronicles
There is something seriously whack about me still watching Prison Break.
I mean, what the heck keeps me tuned in when obviously the show has lost all sense of creativity and direction? Why do I NEED to see what happens every week when it really doesn’t matter?
I dunno, but the season finale is next Monday and of course I’ll be there.
That was the escape?
Okay, let’s go over what has happened all season to make this big escape work.
Nevermind, scratch that. None of it mattered. All they did was dig a tunnel and walk out of the yard.
That’s it.
I’ve never been so disappointed in this show. Michael’s whole plan was based on the following hope:
That the guards at Sona were idiots.
With a yard full of guards, trucks, guns, towers, lights and dogs, the four people not captured just walked out of the tunnel, rolled under a few trucks and busted through the gate.
Do you honestly think that could have worked? That no one would have turned and seen them make it for the fence?
Heck, even the writers knew it was impossible because they didn’t even FILM them breaking through the fence. They realized how ridiculous it was and hoped skipping it would lessen the embarrassment.
Sadly, it didn’t.
Everything else was decent, but I still don’t see why the chick holding L.J. and the Whistler’s woman sent people after them to try and kill them. Why not bring the kid along and do the meet?
There is so much far-fetched stuff in the show that it’s just impossible to believe, even if you do try to ignore most of it and just have fun. It’s just too much to handle.
Sarah Connor Chronicles
Even my wife said The Sarah Connor Chronicles was way better than Prison Break this week.
Although she added “that’s not saying much really.”
But despite a few laughable lines between John and Cameron, the episode was pretty good. We find out Kyle Reese has a brother named David Silver from the 90210 zip code.
Okay, his name was Derek, but will Brian Austin Green ever be known for anything else?
The big point of this episode was The Turk computer being rebuilt by Adam, who is killed by someone who we assumed to be Derek, but later found out is innocent.
The Turk loses at a chess game, but somehow I have the feeling that it was acting too human and that’s why it lost. It make a mistake, it got nervous, it didn’t think with its mind, but went with its instinct instead, which is very human and potentially dangerous.
It’s pretty obvious The Turk could be Skynet.
Meanwhile, James Ellison, the FBI agent on their tail, found the arm of the Terminator which was after Derek. Not sure yet what he’ll think when he sees this or if it will even be a surprise.
That Terminator was actually killed by Cameron in a nifty dissection of the head to pull out a chip. I thought that seemed fairly easy and an obvious spot you might shoot at to kill it (since it was so easy to pop the cap off with a SWITCHBLADE), but it was still nice to see Cameron kick some ass.
Derek is shot and needs help, so John runs and grabs Charley Dixon, Sarah’s boyfriend in the pilot and whom John tried to see in the second episode. Charley hasn’t seen Sarah yet, and lied to Cromartie when he came looking for her.
And now we have a whole new mystery of the girl at the school who is guarding some secret from everyone. Could it possibly be related to the future and Skynet? Somehow…I think it is.
