ελπίδα, πίστη, αγάπη

I've always thought that thriller stories are only available in novels. In that case, I could only think of Robert Ludlum. But I was wrong. Definitely wrong.

The second season of Prison Break was all about chasing and being chased. My heart was also racing I could hardly catch up. I have to admit, I got carried away by poignant scenes whenever death, or better say murder, was anticipated. More than the obvious anxieties the characters went through, there were also deeper sense to them. Every scenario reminded me of the gravity of life. And I'd say I thank God for giving me a strong heart so I could handle such veracity.

The hunt may have driven me crazy, but it was fun.

There were also scenes that touched me deeply. Seriously, this season is very poignant. I feel sorry for what happened to John Abruzzi. A reaction I also have in The Godfather. I pity Tweener and Haywire. I hate T-bag, but I wanted him to stay alive. He's like a habanero. You'd love to hate the guy. As for C-Note, I'm relieved for him. I wish Sucre buenaswerte.

Of course, there were scenes that I love. I think I want to call them sweet moments. And yes, it isn't hard to guess that they're about Michael and Sara. I like, better say love, the conversation between the two of them in episode 10: Rendezvous. So touching, whatever meaning you give to the word. I like what Sara said. "I don't wanna be alone." It was her response to Michael's, "I don't want you to be alone in this."

The strongest people in the world are not immune to loneliness. Everyone needs someone.

There was also this episode where Sara had to make a sacrifice. It reminded me of what Svetlana Baranova did. The Tristan Betrayal. Bon Jovi was right, words can't tell what love can do.

Of course, who would forget Alexander Mahone, the new guy in the season. I only have one word for him- nemesis. I like his character. Except for the fact that he's such an analyst, he also got issues in his past. If Scofield thinks about the future, Mahone worries about the past. As a result, they have a pretty twisted present.

And there's Paul Kellerman. I'm glad that his magazine got jammed. Am also curious about what happened to him in the last episode.

Watching the third season is just a matter of time. I can't wait for that. Too bad I've got some things to attend to. I also need to give the TV and DVD player a rest. I've been up till three or four this morning.

I choose to have faith. Because without that, I have nothing.
It's all that I need to keep me going.

I really need my Scofield maintenance dose. Haha! I can't stop thinking of Prison Break. As if conscious reminiscing is not enough, I had a dream involving Scofield and Sucre when I had my siesta. Sucre was not much of a character in the dream. Perhaps, I am just too focused on Scofield. We're leaving together, just can't remember where to.

Somebody lend me the season 2 of Prison Break! XD

 

Singing: Angel from Montgomery

Scofield: I’m getting you out of here.
Lincoln: It’s impossible.
Scofield: Not if you designed the place, it isn’t.

Just have a little faith.

I’ve always thought that House, M.D. is the best TV drama when it comes to wit, suspense, sarcasm, and intellectual comedy packed as one. But I won’t be surprised if House, M.D. no longer tops my favourite TV drama list. Behold, Prison Break making its way to that spot.

I wanted to watch Prison Break way back in 2007. But I wasn’t able to do so. I should’ve read the plot, reviews, audience comments, and asked some friends who got into it. Despite that, I haven’t forgotten this drama. It had its ways sneaking into my thoughts and remind me: “Hey, did you not say you’re going to watch Prison Break? Well, you should do it soon.” I’d say, “Thank God my cousin  bought a DVD of the first season!” I found it early dawn yesterday while cleaning our DVDs and VCDs cabinet.

What else should I ask from the first season? I got served with intellectual arguments, sarcasms, conspiracies, emotional innuendo, suspense, even drama. There are just so much smartness here that I always wonder what’s not yet revealed to me. It’s that kind of thriller that reminds me of Robert Ludums’s novels. It’s like a thriller book that made its way to television.  If Prison Break made its debut in print, the TV drama would appear to be the product of your imagination. It’s just so wonderful.

When it comes to characters, I am definitely satisfied. Each member of the “escapo crew” has his story to tell. It’s just that in one point in their lives, they met. Like what Mac Taylor says, everything is connected. Even the people outside the escapo crew have their own stories. I like how their lives are intertwined together. It’s like a spider web.

I don’t think I’ll write about the interesting people in Prison Break, but I’d like to make some, maybe just about two people. One of those that caught my attention was Warden Henry Pope. I like this guy. He is so admirable. As for the other one, there’s no one else but Fish. Michael Scofield is more than what meets the eye.  Oh yes, we do know he’s a genius but his resume never mentioned his character, what and who he is outside his profession.

There is no need to elaborate the greatness of Michael Scofield, but I’d still want to write more about this man. Maybe it’ll help me compare his character with the succeeding seasons. I remember one of my friends’ avatar in Gamer Clan. It has a caption, “Nerds are sexy.” Watching the first season of Prison Break, I won’t dare disagree. His mysterious character is so attractive, even if he just stands against a wall with his hands in both side pockets of his blue uniform. Scofield is a cool guy and at the same time very hot. Speaking of the latter, it’s the first and perhaps the only thought that comes into my mind whenever he borrows a guard’s uniform. It’s like hotness that goes up exponentially.

Fish’s eyes are so expressive. I love them especially when Scofield is surprised or upset. Oh, with such mysterious aura, who wouldn’t notice his smile? I love it so much when he smiles. What else? He doesn’t like to lie. I don’t even remember him lying. In the episode when Scofield told Dr. Sara Trancedi about “something” I was surprised. As if I couldn’t get enough, he also went to Pope and told him the same “something.” He just said it straight. Those situations made me reckon about some things in life, people, and myself.

I can't wait till I get to watch the next season.
