(S02E17) Damn, that felt good. Seriously, the best part of the season was in the second half of this episode, when Bill Kim got a beat down by the front end of an SUV and then Lincoln's fist a few times. It's almost too bad he didn't get a few slugs in the process, but we already knew that wouldn't happen ... yet.
This was actually one of the better episodes of the season, though not without its own set of problems.
The T-Bag portion of this story was well played out. We got a revealing view into the terrible past Ted had as a kid and how it clearly affected him as a man. Now I know this show isn't necessarily known for being deep on social values, but what we're seeing here is how T-Bag's life after breaking out of prison is having a better effect at "fixing" him (for lack of a better word) than prison was.
I'm actually sorry to see that C-Note is still in the picture, as next to Lincoln he may be the stupidest escapee of the bunch, including Haywire. Ever since he revealed his intent on escaping, I knew he was one sandwich short of a picnic. He just couldn't bear to live without his selfish intentions, almost killing his daughter in the process. And now he has to throw Michael under the bus? That's just great.
For once the conspiracy surrounding Lincoln's setup were interesting to me. I've always liked Keach's character as Pope, and to see him come back again was a treat. I'm also very interested to know what could possibly be on that recording that would help Lincoln so much -- could there really be a recording that's convincing enough not to be a forgery?

"could there really be a recording that's convincing enough not to be a forgery?"
Especially a digital one.
But I liked this episode too. But my favorite part wasn't Kim's beatdown, it was Sarah locking Kellerman out of the getaway car.

If they were smart, they'd post the recording on YouTube. It may not be evidence, but when the flash drive is stolen and/or destroyed, enough people would have heard it to make for a good conspiracy theory.

Is anyone else afraid of Lincoln when he gets mad. He like a big bear out of control. I almost felt sorry for Bill Kim... almost.

another top episode, the audio mp3 is hardly solid evidence, given the current state of youtube it would probably be taken down due to one sort of copyright infringment or another!
c-note should be shot, traitor of the higest order and fool to note. he should have just left his daughter in the hospital and carried on running, they would have treated her anywhere.
t-bag once again great actor, although i prefer when he's evil.

I'm sure that Michael's posting that clip to tons of sites, or has already written a program (in C+++) that releases the file to every media outlet in the country if he is caught or something intelligent like that. That's why he gets the chick...
How does Kellerman NOT SHOOT Kim when he has the chance? That's incredible!
Now, how will T-bag spend the rest of his money? That's why I'd like to see ... maybe some cosmetic surgery to hide his identity?

There were several really good moments in this episode, even with the typical PB glaring plot holes.
But I have to say I'm torn between the Kellerman lockout, and the Kim beatdown, as the best part!
T-Bag needs to die soon; but I'm glad he let the Hollanders go. And I really don't think that C-Note and the website are enough to even attempt to catch Michael, so I'm not worried.

So how come that only Michaels hair has visible grown? Does Sucre and C-Note stop every once and a while to get a head shave?

It was a pretty good episode. I think locking Kellerman out and making an enemy of him again is a bad, bad idea for the brothers & Sarah. Good use of Stacy Keach again -- it's funny, I dislike Keach the actor, but I really like Pope the character. I'd rather see him every week than Bellick. I agree on C-Note's stupidity and selfishness--leave the girl in a hospital & run! As far as T-Bag goes, that storyline's really played out. He kept that family hostage far too long. And although the past scenes made sense for his character (especially seeing where the big vocabulary came from), I think he's done way too many truly evil things to be redeemed as someone we should care about. And what's Mahone's agenda now? Is he fully back on board, and killing that other agent was just revenge for injuring Mahone's son, or is he going to turn against his bosses at some point? Shouldn't he have killed C-Note as soon as possible, instead of using him to get to the brothers? And as much as I like Wentworth Miller, I really wish he could develop a second facial expression other than "Blue Steel". It's getting silly to see him fix that gaze on people all the time!

I knew that the actress who plays Mari Cruz would reappear, since The Nine was cancelled.

Nice english, love your country by the way - glad you like U.S. TV!
Here's something you might want to try... It'll take a little bit of learning on your part, but I think you'll be pleased with the results. It's called BitTorrent, and it's a technology that's made for sending large files over the Internet. You'll need a program called a BitTorrent client (you can find out more about the technology itself and a list of clients through wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent
actually...
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent for you ;)
The other half is to actually find torrents to download... try www.mininova.org and click on "television." Like I said, I think you'll be pleased with the results...
*disclaimer* - it's most likely not legal for you to download shows before their airdates, so be aware. However, I have a feeling that won't stop you ;) enjoy!

Suposedly the recording is of a guy (who was killed) in the secret service who recorded Kim and Terrance talking.

¿Youtube? come on guys! that wouldn't be a serious move. Specially in court...
Doubt: How can C-Note give Scoufield to Mahone? I mean, the last time they saw each other was like 5 episodes ago.
Million things happened since then. They found Sara, who took them to the key...etc,etc.. C-note has no idea where are they!.
I thought T-Bag storyline was getting to creepy. I really liked it.
Must say this episode was the best x this second season. It was time.
