I got a little bit of a thrill of excitement when the chyron announced that the episode started at Fox River Penitentiary. Just like old times! And to see one Mr. Theodore Bagwell getting his yellowed teeth brushed by some pretty new pocket holding tweener was fantastic. Once T-Bag got out of the jail in order to get a new prosthetic, and then cleverly used his existing fake hand as a shiv to take down a security guard, I was practically cheering. Naturally, Knepper delivered lines like "Keep a candle burning for me pretty" and "Nude up, tout suite" with his patented drawl, and charmed the pants off of women, against all odds. He also went on a rampant killing spree -- turns out that some not so kind gentlemen were doing some pretty nasty things to his elderly bedridden mother and he broke out of the big house in order to deliver his own brand of vengeance. Oh, the disturbingly awesome deaths that only a twisted serial killer like T-Bag can think of. Personally, I was partial to him tossing a guy into a rock-grinding version of a wood-chipper.

So all of the scenes with him were fabulous, but watching the bumbling team of inmates and part-time marshals try and track him were just like watching any typical cop procedural on the market. Their scenes couldn't hold up against his twisted intensity, and only Simpson's character Lloyd made them at all tolerable, mostly because he was so enthusiastic to meet the case study known as T-Bag. And frankly, we don't blame him. The scene with them together, sizing each other up alone in a room, was the best of the episode.

There are things that could be done to improve this show. For instance, I was frustrated that they needed two marshals to try and save one "innocent" guy and let a serial killer who'd already murdered five people in the course of a few days go free. Sure it made for a better climactic scene of T-Bag getting chased around a hospital later in the episode, but it might have been better if we just saw T-Bag getting free of his own volition, instead of pointing out that these marshals are overly sensitive. We get that. They are conflicted people who are trying to do good and they care about children and families and victims. But catch the criminals. That's your job.

Also, there is no real sense of time. Perhaps a clock popping up to inform you how long the escaped con had been on the loose (maybe even when they tell you what city they are in) would increase the intensity of the scenes. And there is just too much random jumping without explanation. The team arrived at a double murder scene without any explanation, before they got wind of where T-Bag was heading. How'd they get there? This rushed feeling I think has to do with the fact that the show needs to catch the criminal at the end of each episode. I'd rather them take time and really show more of the manhunt how-to. Plus, in this case in particular, T-Bag was able to outrun the law for ages on Prison Break, but this team caught him in a matter of days? Without much trouble? Arguably it was because he was vulnerable due to his mother, but still, in a reality of fake prisons that is totally unbelievable, even that's just a little too convenient.

I've seen next week's episode and it was the one that made me hate the character of Erica with a passion. So unless T-Bag breaks free again, or they bring him in Hannibal Lecter style to help with some cases, I'm pretty much done with this show.
