Random Thought (The Company bigshots and the brothers)

MrsBagwell · 11-04-2008, 09:19 PM

I remember the episode where the team copies the card from Lisa, dressed as cops.

Isn't it a bit funny how it even took a while for someone (just one I think!) to recognize Lincoln? And Lisa herself was talking and looking at Scofield without knowing who he was.

Aren't the brothers supposed to be really notorious? If not in all of America (Linc being a death row con for killing Steadman and Mike's a Fox River 8 escapee), with the Company?

Just doesn't make sense for me that they can still pass as civillians, especially in front of high ranking members of the Company.

You have a point there...
And now we know that Lisa has been with the Company for a while... (Because Gretchen knows her very well)... So how come she's talking to Scofiled and doesn't recognize him?!?!

Come on! You're not being realistic! You don't know how someone reacts in that situation!

If you were spending your evening at a benefit, and Bin Laden approached you dressed like a cop and started talking to you, the last thing you'd think is that the leader of Al-Qaeda is up to something at your benefit!

Lincoln would be more recognizable due to the press about him being on death row for killing the VP's brother. Everyone thinks Michael is in a supermax prison so they aren't looking for him and his picture wasn't publicized as much as Lincoln's. Plus the US is a big country and the break out happened in Chicago, not Los Angeles. Honestly, if a prisoner broke out of a prison in New York and he was in my area, I probably wouldn't recognize him either.

schofield is as big as obama or maybe even bigger.....so if he was standing next to you, you would have to definately recognise him, and plus it was liza, she would have surely been briefed by padman about the brothers...its probably just a plot hole..that they gave a blind eye too....

As soon as Wyatt figured out for the General that the bros were after his card, did Lisa realise her previous weird incident at a benefit with a hot cop, a bleeding nose and a dead bodyguard? Or is it already a given that she confirmed to the Company the attempt on HER card by Scofield himself that day, which made moving Scylla a more urgent matter?

Hmmm maybe she hasn't yet and when she does she will mention the bleeding nose and the Company finds out about Scofield's condition (well, when they find out he's still alive). As if The Company finding out about Scofield's illness matters. I'm over-analyzing for nothing.

This proves I have no life! Haha

^^I agree, wouldn't the rest of them think that if the General's card was a target theirs would be too. Especailly as you need all six cards to be able to do anything.

Missy_KS · 11-10-2008, 08:12 PM

They might, but it's irrelevant to the storyline since they've already been copied.

Govrn Tancredi didn't know of Linc innocence, right? He was killed for finding out.

Maybe not all the company are kept in the loop.

I think you're right. Lincoln being framed for the VP's brother was just a small part of the big picture. I'm not sure everyone at the Company would know about how much of a threat they really are yet.
