Farwell T-bag

[-Laufas-]

Hard to say goodbye to one of my favorite characters ever. He certaintly was my favorite character on Prison Break and I believe that even though all the stuff sorrounding the brothers in season 2 he totally had the best part in that season!!

He was amazing in season 1 and even better in season 2 (season 2 isn't as good as season 1, but seeing this dude on the run being in some deep trouble missing his hand and all, was just so awesome!!)

It feels a bit sick to love a character that is so F'd up.. But I can't deny that I love this character so much!

He got a great ending in Prison Break too. He might not have gotten a happy ending, but it's not too sad either.

He was outside for about 9 months! He has been through so much during that time.. Not to mention that he got laid a few times too, that's pretty good getting some straight action before returining to prison (haha)

Imagine the respect he must get in Fox River when comming back... Being gone for 9 months after escaping.. Man he was a god in there before.. I can only imagine how much respect he must have now..

The thing I just wrote above sounds so ****ing sad, it's like I'm talking about something real, it's a TV SHOW for gods sake.. But still I love it

I really think that he got the best ending. Not best ending character wise or in a happy sort of way. But ever since season 1 we've been wondering how it'll end for this guy. Seeing him in Fox River again with the Lay it Down song in the backround was just perfect. OK.. I have to say C-note got the best ending out of all of them. Sucre got a very happy ending too, but he lost a very good friend, he and Michael were best friends (atleast I'd like to believe so) C-note easily got the happiest ending. Seeing him getting the mail just like any other person was just great.. But lets not get off topic this thread is about T-bag

Ever since season 2 I worried like with every episode over T-bag's faith.. Specially towards the end.. I had no idea if Prison Break would return for another season.. So after seeing the promo for episode 21 on season 2 I was pretty much scared to death.. I mean really.. I was just sure he was going to die.. I think that's also another reason why he's so great, his story has always been so tense, he's NEVER in a good position he's always in trouble, therefore you never know where he'll end up.

This thread is a dedication to Theodore Bagwell played by Robert Knepper. Damn Robert Knepper nailed this part. T-bag sure will go down as one of my favorite characters ever!

Hey, I was trying to read your post, but most of the words are covered by a big, blue bar. Is there anyway you can fix it? I want to read your post. Thanks.

It's fixed

Btw did anybody get a really nostalgic feeling seeing Fox River again with that "blue-ish" camera filter (I really don't know if that's the case but Fox River gives off that cold look and since season 1 the show hasn't had that look, but they had it again for the finale) So I got really nostalgic and just seeing that scene made me realize how much I'm gonna miss the show.. I just wish they were all thrown in Fox River and we'd get another 2 seasons in there.. I don't even want them to escape, just have them deal with stuff in there..

T-bag is by far one of the most interesting and memorable characters ever on television. He is/was truly unique and one of a kind. I don't think his character is one that could ever be easily replicated. Even if another show were to try to duplicate his qualities, it would be damn hard not to think about T-bag and be aware of the fact that's where the inspiration came from.

I have to agree--RK nailed this role, completely. I honestly cannot imagine any other actor playing the role of T-bag because it was done so perfectly. It's not often one can say that about an actor, and I think that alone shows what a talented and crucial asset Robert was to the team.

Where did you get nine months from? I don't think it was that long. The complete story took place in a relatively short amount of time. If you have a source or something to point out, I'm all ears...or eyes, in this case.

On the whole the show was about 8 or 9 months, that is if Mike died shortly after the finale . He robbed the bank in March of 05 and his gravestone said November. It has been discussed in another thread here , but there are so many threads on the finale that I can't point you in the right direction Candy.

Just checking. It sounded like he was saying T-bag was out of prison for 9 months, which obviously seemed way off to me. Michael wasn't sent to Fox River until April 2005.

I think someone needs to make a more detailed and accurate timeline.

[DramaDiva]

It's really hard to sit here and think about things that I watched on TV 4 years ago and try to be accurate, I need to break out the DVD's and dust them off. Wasn't Lincs original execution date May 11 or something like that? We know that they escaped after that because Linc was in the chair then he got an extension or something ...I can't quite remember exactly how it went. So going by the May timeline ...they were out roughly 6 months before Mike died.So Tbag got laid twice in 6 months , that makes it even more impressive considering he was a one handed , crazy eyed psycho. It's all about the southern accent and tongue roll..lol

[candyrose]

I was thinking the same thing. I really want to pull out the old DVD's and watch the entire show, back to back. Yep, I think you are right. I think the new execution date might have been set for May 26th or something like that. It was roughly the first part of June when Sara's father died. The fourth season didn't start until July? So Michael and the gang were on the run for not that long at all. What's the timeline for the fourth season? I seriously need to be more attentive. Nah, I wouldn't think it would be 6 months for T-bag. Remember he was sent straight back to prison at the end. I don't think that was November for him.

[DramaDiva]

I don't think the fourth season ever gave a time line. They never said well we have been doing this for x amount of time ....I don't ever remember seeing a calendar. I need to pay better attention too apparently . Where are the detail whores when you need them ? Where is The_Man when you need him to ask a non spoiler legitimate question ? I guess the TBag situation all depends on how much time Michael had before he died, either way the less he had the more impressive it makes his lays ..lol. Hopefully they were good too because that is the last women he will probably again touch ...unless he gets one of those women that like to marry men in prison, then he can get some conjual visits.

[candyrose]

I thought the fourth season starting at the beginning of July....or am I just imagining things. LOL. Remember the letter with the date?

True, it would be more impressive.....assuming there were no...um....technical difficulties.

Oh, he probably has received a few fan letters while in prison. You'd be surprised by the types of women who look for love in prisons. I remember watching this one special a long time ago....something like Love Behind Bars.....I can't remember what it was. I've checked out a few things....out of curiosity....and you'd be surprised by all the online dating sites for prisoners. LOL. They even have their own profiles, with photos and everything! It's like myspace for prisoners. I don't know.
