Termination of company takedown weak story

PB_netherlands · 09-20-2008, 10:47 AM

Hey people
What are your thougts on the whole thing "the senator will terminate the program.... oh no... he doesn't".... I think it is kind of lame, it takes up quite some time in episode 3, and it leads to scenes with some head of homeland security and Agent Don Self. Kind of useless accept for the fact that it does prove agent Don Self is loyal to the guys. I think it takes up to much time and leads rather nowhere, because now that "fight" is over with the approval of some senator and is no longer an issue. It is also weird that homeland security does believe that the company exists, agrees to go after 1 datacard, but as soon as it appears that it takes 6 cards, then that guy wants to terminate the mission.

A bit weird if you are with homeland security and know of the existence of the company and their importance and influence.

What do you think?

i am wondering where are those people that linc's dad worked for? the ones who are ALSO trying to take down the company.. if everyone just worked together.. if everyone just realized how VALUABLE scofield is, instead of all this "i am threatening to send you back to prison" deal.... self is a jerk. if he was nicer to them i'd like him better, coz i like the guy who plays him.

bottom line: michael scofield DEMANS respect and NO ONE gives it to him!

^^^ I'm not that sure Michael is that important in the whole scheme of things anymore.... The other characters have all given their views just as much as he has in every plot they have done so far to date in S4..... They are all looking like they are beginning to work together cohesively as a team... even if they don't like each other... Mikey is, IMO, just stuck somewhere in the middle throwing advice in there when necessary....

Yes, he has a brilliant mind... but the added distraction of Sara is pulling him from all of that, IMO.... Story wise, his character would have worked better within the team if she weren't next to him.... She could have been safe in protective custody etc... but the sight of them working almost like a husband & Wife Hart to Hart team is nearly too much at times....

For me, it takes away a bit from the overall story of how they all link up....

i think to a greater degree alex mahone has played a crucial and the unsung hero is ofcourse roland, afterall its his hacking and his blackhole that has helped schofield and his crew.
cheers,
ps. bellick is there for no reason (they just added that scene with the screwdriver stabbing to keep him going)....

feels like bellick is there for history's sake (b/c they all have history together). sucre was nice to vouche for him, it just got me mad how he was STILL talking about running off.... sometimes i feel sorry for him coz he really is a big baby, and then at times i just wish he'd get what he deserves..

as for michael, i do agree that they are working GREAT as a team. but i still think that without michael, they've got no shot. they all contribute, but he makes them better in my opinion. and when it comes down to it, it's his brilliance that keeps the train going. i'd never be worried with scofield on my team
