OlderWentworth Miller Boards Love Train
Here are some thoughts on Prison Break episode “Chicago”, y’all!
THE GOOD
Holy crap did Sara suddenly grow a pair of balls! The way she attacked Kellerman was pure brilliance! It was great seeing Lincoln and Michael hold her back. I guess brunettes do have more fun! C-Note was actually quite gallant in this episode. I was slightly less annoyed with his storyline. Dede is still cute as a button so I think she helps him.
THE BAD
Agent Kim failed to secure Kellerman when he was having someone pretend to be Caroline. Kellerman knows the difference between voiceovers! You think he would have been fooled if we had seen the back of Madam President chopping up some garlic while on the phone? Mahone calling Bellick his dog was a bit cringing but even worse was how he managed to get Haywire to kill himself. Is anything sacred anymore? Did he even visit his son?
THE PRETTY
Loved the relationship between Michael and Lincoln and it was refreshing to see Linc take a more active role. However, this episode was all about Michael the romantic. He was quite happy to see his lady love again, quite heroic when he tried to choke Kellerman to death, quite tender when giving Sara some sugar, and such a gentleman for suggesting a walk. All of this while figuring out how to get the cops off their backs.
Prison Break returns back with new episodes February 19th. And guess who comes back? Popey! Check out all the screencaps after the jump!

emily-
i do believe i was merely voicing my personal opinion. and my opinion has nothing to do with this highly hyped kiss. the shadow of this romantic infatuation hangs over the head of every single episode (and that doesn’t have a lot to do with how many times they’ve kissed or been in the same room), and has ever since michael and sara met in s1. i’m not really for or against michael/sara, and i sure as hell don’t hate on the girl just because she gets to kiss some fictional character (whoop-dee-doo, good for her. *rolls eyes*). and you are right, there aren’t any shows out there without some kind of romantic plot involved in the main storyline. i guess i just find it more enjoyable to watch the interaction between the brothers, and getting closer and closer to seeing the conspiracy being brought down. there is a thought in the back of my head that sara will be michaels downfall and i’ve thought that for quite a while. i mean really… how often do we get a happy ending out of this show? just about never. so if they’re all happy yay and in love, chances are one of them will be eliminated. i have a sinking suspicion that it’ll be michael who puts himself on the line for his ‘lady-love’ and that will be the end of a great character.
i wonder sometimes, is it possible for people to realise that you can be a fan of the show and still have issues with various plot points or stoylines? i didn’t realise i had to worship every single second of prison break, just because i’m a fan.
Nick Ssantora & Matt OLmstead …. writer’s of this episode …yeah!! I’m calling you out.
I wanna know which one of you decided a public restroom would be the ideal spot for a romantic kiss.
Flickwater#26, I understand what you are saying, but yes we really enjoy this relationship especially us incurable romantics. Sometimes I get tired of shows shoving sex and romance down our throats even where it is not neccessary.
Having said that, you have to understand that romance in PB is so rare that a mere kiss between these two really gets us so excited. The chemistry is great too and Michael is a dish *lick lips* so you have to be more understanding. We all love the show and the suspense but I for one learnt a long time ago that having issues with a fictional show you love does not help, you end up losing interest completely so when I get immersed, I take the whole show as it comesT- bag’s hand and all. Some episodes may be lacking but you just treat it as a child, some times adorable, some times naughty, smile through it all, shake your head and shrug, then wait for the next episode.
I think people are so infatuated with Wentworth Miller that they only want to see him in romantic situations so they can envision themselves with him, the kiss it was ok was it great no, but it did the job now lets move on and get THE COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fickwalker - Re: i have a sinking suspicion that it’ll be michael who puts himself on the line for his ‘lady-love’ and that will be the end of a great character.
Funny - I’ve had the same thoughts myself. I think Michael will die in a blaze of glory, and season 3 (if there is one) will see Sara and Linc trying to set things straight with the Prez. (Meanwhile, Went will be making movies. I think he can hardly wait. Just my opinion ….)
2nd version: Michael is in a bad accident and goes into a coma in the last episode of the season. Season 3 would find him in a coma for about a month — allowing for Went to finish his movie before returning to PB. (Please, Went, we really want to see another season of you in PB — even if your character has to be in a coma.)
I don’t know what some of you were watching, but that kiss was HOT!!!!!
Sara was so into it and so was Michael. Great!
These two are the best.
Oh, and the hug and the last scene :) Beautiful.
i ****** loved the kiss hands down…i understand you guys has issues with some plotlines..you’re entitled to your opinion so people back off…..to me, the episode was great..when sara was trying to kill kellerman i was like “wo0ot wo0ot go sarah get em kill the ugly kellerman…HE TRIED TO DROWN YOU!!..kill him!!” lol i felt so bad for haywire….mahone actually got me feeling bad for him….he just wants to be with his family…he’s tired of killing innocent men…he even said it himself “the poor guy mentally ill he doesn’t know anything” but no0o bill kim was like no kill him now!!!……I’m actually quite happy that mahone didn’t just shoot haywire like he did to my beloved tweener {[still miss you hun]}..he actually talked him through it and didn’t stop him wen he tried to jump…just said “go ahead”…in a sense I think mahone was wishing he was Haywire….I felt so bad for the face mahone made when haywire landed!!…RIP haywire love you!!! oh yeah loved when sarah said sorta kind i love you to michael and perfect timing for mike to say me too…i love how they didn’t actually say the words i love you…i found that very different from other shows that would usually just say i love you but no not prison break they say i love you through this “the first thing they tell you is to never fall in love with a inmate” and “me too” lol.
I bow to you Jared oh God of the Screencap and I loved the ep!
Jailbird, Man on Man kiss Yuckie!!Yuckie!! ???????? I’m surprised at you!
I hear you fick on the too much romance ruining a good action show thing. I don’t need to OD on MiSa either but their exchanges last night were sweet and ks you were not the only one bawling when Haywire went down. I may have to wipe a tear away right this minute. I actually missed the whole “Me Too” moment the first time around b/c I was too upset to pay attention. R.I.P. good buddy.
is it just me, or did they totally waste a good opportunity with Haywire?
Here’s what i was anticipating - they capture Haywire early on, but they figure out that he could recreate micheal’s tatoo, and use him to figure out the con’s escape plans.
Obviously, they’re off the “tatoo plan” now, but i really thought, at the beginning of this season, that there were gonna be some awesome scenes of Haywire (off his meds, of course) and the FBI agents.
Oh well… RIP Haywire, we hardly knew ya.
And my two cents about the romance: I think they’re walking the line just fine. I liked that fact that the kiss was in an awkward location (no sappy sunsets, thank you very much) and interrupted. I think the romance has been built slowly and carefully, without overpowering the conspiracy story, and it’s obviously not going to be smooth sailing for these two any time soon, so there won’t be too much romance and not enough action.
Anyway, i thought it was a great episonde. Can’t wait for the next one!
Jared,
I just want to let you know that I really love your website. You always have the new pics of Went first. I am a huge Went fan. He is definitely Stinky because to me, HE’S THE ****! Oh, he’s absolutely gorgeous! And Jared, the clarity of your screencaps is magnificent! Thanks a bunch!
“Chicago” was definitely this best ep so far. Thanks for posting the pics.
Jailbird: I personally will not even mind if they have Michael kissing a man.
What is the big problem with that ?
Sara’s hair looks fine. How will you look like after all want she when tru ?
Wet for went: My friend, well said !
What chemistry? The kiss was lame and cold.
I have never been a MiSa Fan…. The MiSa and even WeSa fans are PYSCHO’S!!! their unhealthy obsession scares me!!! That being said I actually liked the kiss MiSa shared…. Yes it was akward and not in a very romantic place (though that is the nicest bathroom i’ve ever seen on a train lol!!) And like someone else said the conversation and the moments leading up to it were very akward. But that was the whole point of having them kiss when, where, and how they did. They don’t have the luxary of being romantic so they gotta make do with what they got. And I don’t think they would have had sex like the MiSa/WeSa freaks swear would have happened had they not been interrupted. There’s still just too much unresolved issues between them.
Artistically that whole kiss scene was beautifully shot, the mirror in the back to me signified the two sides of their relationship…the good and the bad of it. I thought it was perfect how they said they loved eachother without actually saying it. As for Sara not trying to kiss him back…..she was definately holding back a little but I noticed that when the train jerks or whatever neither one of them flinched before hand as most actors would when they know its coming…I bet my socks that the director didn’t tell them when that interruption would happen because it totally caught them off guard…. the way they reacted seemed so unscripted to me which I thought was great.
Anyways since i’m banned from the PB message boards on fox.com for asking someone to e-mail me (They said asking someone to e-mail me was advertising/recruiting for a website) I’ve been having problems with the mods the past 2 months because the mod there THQuee is a die hard MiSa shipper and took offense when I said I didn’t like Sara back in October… after that I was getting flagged and banned every other day…sometimes twice a day for idiotic things you wouldn’t believe!!!Anyways I thought I’d post my opinion on this matter here :)
Anybody think Susan calling T-bag Teddy Bear was hilarious?? or is it just me??
@(*O*)@ Cali’s Own Terri Miller @(*O*)@
fickwalker- i wasnt meaning to demean youre opinion on the romance matter, i was just trying to explain, its like this in all major shows, romance is part of human interaction, if you enjoy the brothers interaction and storyline, thats great, just like some of us enjoy the romantic scenes. but the romantic aspect is part of prison break, like it or not. it has obviously been building since the start, i knew from the very first time they shared a scene together, something was going to happen with these two and he’d be her love interest, it was very obvious, but at the same time, their scenes were only ever a few mins long, and almost always, there would only be one or two scenes between them per ep, the whole of season 1. i remember wanting more because i felt we were getting so little. it built slowly, but the romance never felt the main focus of the story to me, but i found it an enjoyable plot. however i defiantly agree, it wont be plain sailing for them. we had the build up in season 1. we’ve got the romantic coming together in season 2. and in season 3 (there better be a few more seasons yet) they’ll probably be some drama/testing for their relationship, they might split up, but their relationship will be obviously tested in some way. because a happy couple isnt going to have many story angles for seasons to come. but i hope however the storyline ends that it ends happily and not in the near future. however, i dont think wentworth will leave or that micheal will be killed off, i think if anyone, sara will, prison break is wentworth millers show dammit! just like 24 is kiefers show. prison break without wentworth isnt prison break at all.
Liz-
It’s actually Fickwalker. Not Flickwater. Cheers.
To each their own and all that jazz.
emily-
I completely understand and respect your point of view. Every element of this show makes it what it is and you’re right, I wouldn’t want it any other way. It’s the likes and dislikes that inspire discussion and various levels of commitment from fans.
Re: “however, i dont think wentworth will leave or that micheal will be killed off, i think if anyone, sara will, prison break is wentworth millers show dammit! just like 24 is kiefers show. prison break without wentworth isnt prison break at all…”
I must respectfully disagree on a few different points. I don’t see PB as “Wentworth Miller’s show”. I definitely see PB as an ensemble production, there is no real “star”. WM’s character may have driven S1, but now, with the storylines splintering off in so many different directions, Michael’s power as that driving force is somewhat diminished. Ialso think PB has proven, time and again, that absolutely no one is indispensable. Any of the characters could be eliminated at any time and I really do believe that the chance of Michael being taken out is a very real possibility. Most people have heard the whispers about S3 and that they’ve already planned out how to take care of Sara during SWC’s pregnancy, which indicates to me that the good doctor will be around for a long while to come yet.
i respectfully hope youre wrong haha. well not about sara, i really hope she stays a few more seasons too, i dont want her killed off and then for micheal to have someone else, they chose to cast her, they need to make the storyline last, i think the good thing about her been cast as his love interest is, that id say shes way out of his league, hes gorgeous, shes pretty, at times she looks better than at othet times, but you know he could do better (in the kiss scene she looked pretty drab), but that dynamic makes it interesting, he likes her, for her. he likes who she is, i feel a bit similar about the bones romantic relationship between bones and booth too, bones is the less attractive of the two id argue, but their dynamic and their interaction on the show really holds my attention and i end up willing them to come together, which is weird because i know, half the fun of their playful relationship and the reason i like them is that their not together, so you have something to hope for, and when it happens, where do you go from there? but anyways, im going vastly off point now, but i really love wentworths character, i agree, it has a strong cast, just like 24. but i really cant imagine prison break without micheal, i really cant. i think the show would lose a huge part of its appeal and that, though it might continue for some time after that, that it would be like the beginning of the end for the show. wentworths a huge reason why the shows as popular as it is-well in my mind, i just think losing wentworth miller would be a huge blow to prison break.
and i think thats one of the reasons some people are against the relationship onscreen. almost all of the time, the problem people have, is with sara. they think they lack chemistry, it feels forced, their too different, shes not good enough. but two super good looking people getting it on? its so cliche, there needs to be more, yes they are different, thats interesting, they have issues, but they connect, in the story. it hasnt been perfect for them, thats good, i like that they’ve only kissed twice, that they dont have a physical relationship, that their in love with each other and they havent even had sex-thats cute. i get so tired, even though i like romantic aspects of seeing characters come together so quick, sleep together, and bang, where do they go from there? i like its been paced slowly, and the audience is more likely to invest in a onsceen relationship if its been paced well. and i kind of miss the flirty scenes they had back in season 1…but im glad its moved foward, i think there are tons of posiblilitys as to where the romance could head, i just really hope, they work it out and the writers dont give up on them or take the easy way out, i wonder where the romance will go. but i shouldnt waste time thinking about that, because its only just starting back up.
All you people, take it from someone who knows (and don’t ask how I know because I will not tell you). There will be a Season 3 and neither Wentworth or Sarah are leaving the show. You are wasting your time debating about it- although it does give me a good laugh…
Blah blah blah, when did this become a shipper thread?
Where’s the Teddy Bear?
glad to hear it. i cant imagine wentworth been stupid to leave the show so soon after its started. the shows going great, its made him a big star, and in turn hes made prison break very popular, the show has a lot of steam left, its only on season 2.
Does anyone know which song is played at the end of this episode ?? Thx
Okay, “take it or leave it” — I’ll take your word for it - there will be a Season 3. Yea! You’d better not be wrong. I need a Wentie fix every Monday night.
OK MillerGirl WTF are you talking about? MiSa fans with an unhealthy obsession. Hmmm remind me were you not the freak that wrote a story about being Michael Scofields cell mate and him falling in love with you. Ummm that would be an unhealthy obsession. I recall you being mean and rude to several people regarding their cirticims of your stroy resulting in it being removed and banned from a website. So don’t talk to me about unhealthy obsessions
Hey Jessies girl. I’ know that story your talking about as well. MillerGirl you talk about MiSa fans being PSYCHO. Well you writing yourself as a love intreste and being banned from several site ranks you right up there as psycho. I must say you are well on your way to being banned on all PB site which I must say I won’t miss you around!! You’ve proven yourself more than once to be rude and condescending to people. Good ridance to you in all PB areans they don’t need delusional freaks like you!!!
