Food on the show.

[G-BAG]

Does anyone ever eat on this show? Scofield looks thinner than ever. No wonder he's fainting, low blood sugar. Attention producers: feed those actors.

[Headstrong]

I agree!

I distinctly remember an early episode of season 2 (the first one?) when the escapees are eating a bucket of fried chicken, IIRC. I always remember that scene as proof that they actually need to eat.

As for the sleeping... Right now I don't remember seeing anyone sleep ever (maybe in season 1 in Fox River). To the point that I really wonder when do they sleep?

Of course a series like PB is all about action, plot twists and cliffhangers and I honestly don't want to see Sucre taking a nap on a hammock or Michael and Sara on bed sleeping.

There's important stuff going on, so we can just assume they sleep at... some... time.

Well.... See I am of the opinion that when Scofield eats food or drinks drinks... the stuff actually reappears back in the bowl or glass... thus giving you the impression that he never actually ingests anything....

Like that early ep in S3... in Sona, when he was giving some water to Bellick out of his own glass.... yep... he poured out the majority of it to Bellick and yet then had a glass with even more water in it... a few seconds later.... remarkable stuff!!!

And those rats he was so fond of killing.... surely Whistler showed him a thing or two about how to get the most meat off them!!!!

I agree with you though.... It does seem funny that he never seems to eat.... or shave.... either his face OR his head either for that matter!!! And escalating this point, who does their day to day clothes washing? I mean, surely someone has to clean the underwear and socks.... if nothing else!!!

And when exactly did Linc get time to get his arms covered in tattoos? They weren't there from the very beginning, were they???

I didn't need to think about that! Now the idea is in my head. Thanks.

That's what happens when people start demanding realism from a work of fiction. What's next? Asking when does Michael go to the bathroom?

Huh? What tattoos? I didn't notice that!

[smileyone]

^^^ You are joking above...I hope.... It was just my attempt at humour.... that's all.... The whole 'when do they eat' thing is much the same as any other dopey side thing we might have fun with on here!!! The whole idea of one of them heading down to the local store to buy a few potatoes, carrots and a pound or two of mince along with a packet of spagetti ... just to make a bit of spag bol for the rest of them.... makes me laugh.... much the same as it makes me laugh to think that someone like Sucre or the brothers have rolled up sleeves... rinsing their tighty whiteys in the sink and hanging them over a radiator in the kitchen area each night....

I'm sorry... as I said... it's just my attempt at a bit of humour....

[Lagash]

Yes, I'm joking. I wouldn't use smiley faces, otherwise.

I guess it would be Sara or Sucre going to the grocery store to buy the food. It sounds better than Self coming to the warehouse every two days holding paper bags from the supermarket.

Also, now I picture them discussing getting a Scylla card, with their underwear hanging in the background. It'd probably hurt the athmosphere!

Sorry... I have only had about ten coffees so far today... I think it's time I have another one...

Yes, I suppose.... see, to be fair... Mikey doesn't look... like he even knows how to fry an egg.... let alone make a dinner for the lot of them... now we know Linc, at least knows how to make some neat blueberry pancakes.... Sucre... well, I dunno.... does he look like he knows how to work a grill??? And Sara... well... I'm pretty sure she knows how to cook for herself... seeing that Mikey didn't ever follow thru on his 'take you out for a burrito' promise ... from all the way back in S2!!!
And Bellick... well he's gone now... so OMG... who knows... he may have well and truly been the only one who kept these boys alive!!!!
For the record though, they don't even seem to have a kettle on the boil there either.... Jeez.... I'm so glas I ain't in with that group... I'd be well dead now without the regular caffeine reloads....

Also, now I picture them discussing getting a Scylla card, with their underwear hanging in the background. It'd probably hurt the athmosphere!

Well... funny you say that... but the same pair of white trousers were hanging out the same window in Sona Prison, for practically the whole series.... yep... go back and see, if you don't believe me... Smiley kept a running tally of eps featuring the pair of long johns... last season!!! So then, there was at least one Sona prisoner going around commando for at least the span of the whole Sona story....
Yeah... Get that thought out of your head too....

Who knows?.... Maybe there is a little indoor washing line with pegged up undies, just out of our view each ep.... Maybe a little clothes horse, popped discreetly in the corner....
It's not as if Linc or anyone have gone down to their local Laundromat with a big bag of washing in recent times...

He used to live alone before getting thrown into prison. He has to know some basic cooking. But I wouldn't pick him either to cook for the team, nor to go buy the groceries.

When did that happen? In an LJ flashback?

Thanks for that! Now I remember another eating scene! In season 2, when he stops at the house of that Mexican man. He let's Sucre stay based on the fact that he could cook! See? Sucre as the cook is looking better and better.

That's right, they never went for that dinner.

And judging from Sara's pretentious response to that, I'm guessing she can't cook, but is rather the kind that'd call delivery.

You know... I think I remember seeing that! Was it on the out side towards no man's land?

Nevertheless, they know better than to have their warehouse look like a Panamenian prison in the middle of the jungle.
