S3E13: The Art of the Deal Discussion

[untouchable]

So there is not no season 4?

[Dea Ex Machina]

I believe he answered his question via possibly looking up the artist/song. Perhaps he found out through the credits, if its in there somewhere. I don't know.

But tonight's episode was pretty good and I enjoyed it very much. I love how smart Michael is, and its always been evident that he's a great protagonist. He was pretty edgy this episode, and he's been changing some, but I actually like it. Always have liked Michael, though.

So glad they did not kill Sucre off, as well. I was worried, although the whole time, I had a feeling he'd survive. Sucre is one of my favorite characters. I DO still feel terrible for Sucre, but I love that he's still here. Thank you, writers!

That twist at the end with Mahone joining back up with the company may not be as it appears to be. Also, I noticed when the bartender said "What did you do in the States?" and Alex replied with, "I'm between jobs." or something along those lines, that maybe he's doing this to support his family, as he always does. I don't think Mahone would so easily give up seeing his family. He loves them. But he does NOT appear to be threatened/blackmailed by the company, so as to why he would join with the company once again, I do not know. Perhaps, though, he's doing this job to get money for his family, as Gretchen said, they get paid generously. I really do not know whats going on there, but good scene nonetheless.

As for other matters, I think what T-Bag did was interesting, yet predictable. As for Bellick, is he happy with what happened, indifferent, or what? I cannot tell. As for Fernando ending up in SONA...I'm not too happy. I am, however, happy that Luis got a happy ending, yet still surprised that they would introduce him in episode one of season 3, just to end his storyline twelve episodes later...without us knowing what he's about, what he did, etc.

I also liked the way it ended, with Michael leaving to take on the Company and Lincoln being with LJ and Sofia.

Overall, good episode...Loved it. Great MID-SEASON finale, yet not a perfect season finale. It was intended to be a mid-season finale, and I'll view it as such.

Also, untouchable, season four has yet to be picked up, yet I still think it will be. Can't imagine them not picking it up again....yet Fox has suprised me before...so...

I took it to mean that if Sara really was dead (Susan B would be the only one who knows for sure, although LJ was there(?) and Linc saw her severed head), that Susan B would be a weak link in them moving forward because Michael would stop at nothing to find her, and that would hurt them going forward in whatever they are trying to do. Mahone has worked a lot closer (both with and against) to Michael than Whistler had, and he just wanted to make it crystal clear that it would be a problem that Susan would have to handle...perhaps even to the extent that Mahone wouldn't necessarily prevent Michael from getting to Susan - "not cleaning up her mess". I think Mahone just wants to work and get paid, but would like to avoid crossing Michael at all costs.

I think season 4 is going to be as much about The Company being the hunted instead of the hunters as anything else.

I still want to know why Whistler got thrown in Sona in the first place and was hiding for his life in the walls, and an entitiy as all-powerful as "The Company" couldn't pull the strings to get him out? If what he did was so bad, wouldn't he be the one everyone at Sona was worried about escaping?

[joeyjoejoe]

My question is: do you think Mahone is infiltrating the Company intentionally, say as a mole? That would be very interesting. I like that they addressed Whistler's identity without fully answering it. There is a lot of story left to tell.

[candyrose]

And he is back again....how are you tonight??

[x-robyn-x]

With mahone meeting whistler in the bar I did not see that one coming but I don't know if he's fully back with the Company because he wanted so badly to get away from all that at the end of season 2 if I remember correctly.

But I think there has to be more episodes/another season because there are still so many unanswered questions.

YES, thank you writers for not killing Puppy off!

I think so, too. Maybe it was a scheme he thought of with Michael back in Sona? What motivation would Whistler have helping the brothers? Guilt for killing Aldo? I'd very much like Mahone as a double agent out to bring down the Company and aiding the brothers.

The exchange was beautifully set up by Michael. So much so that I wondered if Linc's comment on having needed a week for setting up the warehouse was true or just to fool Whistler. When I saw the metal detectors at the museum's entrance I was like "Yay- go Michael!"

T-Bag: He had fooled me for a minute. Fave quote from this ep came from him:" If you would have considered leaving with all that, well, I just want you to know I'd be very cross with you. I've been known to have a bit of a temper problem when betrayed" Understatement of the year!
I wonder what he did for her that she's so thankful, was it just hiding her from the guards that one time or something else?

I think his motivation has been to keep his family safe, and after everything that has happened--as a result of his involvement with the company--I can't imagine him jumping in to give them his support unless he had something else in mind. We've seen that he thinks a lot like Mikey, so perhaps he is wise enough to realize things will never change until the Company is brought down. By saying that he is with them, he is putting himself in a position where he could get close enough to be a threat....but still be relatively safe since they believe him to be on their side. And the circumstances involving his family and his interactions with the brothers makes him all the more believable. I can easily seen Susan and Whistler believing he blames Mikey for being thrown into Sona...among other things. However, I don't think his mind is wrapped around this so much....He knows what he is dealing with.

There's a clip on the Fox website....where she visits T-bag....
