Alex Mahone’s character was wasted potential.

He still stands out as a killer character after everything he’s gone through, but on a rewatch, it’s a shame he wasn’t used to the best of his abilities like we saw in season 2.

Bad writing in the later seasons aside, I feel like he was nerfed massively down to the level of the other crew members. When he was introduced, he was built up to question whether he was even on par with Michael’s intelligence, the only one able to predict his next move. Personally, I think he was the most gripping part of season 2.

At most, he serves as another strong arm when finding Scylla. Overall, he lost that character trait of being a special agent with an edge.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I just think he could have had a better arc.

It just blows my mind that he ends up building the rest of it, not just helping with direction Pope to keep it from collapsing. Slightly wild. But it makes me unreasonable sad when he sabotages it. Not as sad as Marilyn tho 😔

In season 4, there's a scene where Sara watches a program, and someone says that if Michael's escape from Fox wasn't prevented, it's because the system failed. The question is, could the judicial, prison, and legal systems have prevented Michael Scofield's escape?

Full line: “Vice President Reynolds is in an undisclosed location, being sworn in as the 46th president”.

So in this universe, have several presidents been assassinated? I’m just confused as we didn’t even have 45 irl until 2017 *shudders*

Has anyone noticed this? I’m just a lil dumbfounded here

Edit: dang I just thought that was interesting to point out. Yall don’t like this. Yes I’m aware it’s a show, but rationally it feels like there should be some form of explanation for it being that off. Or yall at least give a dang theory like someone did. The company being the reason. Like I had thought.

I created this post to appreciate what a great actor Wade Williams is. I mean, he plays a completely despicable character.

He's basically the antithesis of Michael. A corrupt, violent, sexist guy.

Scenario 1 - No weapons, purely hand to hand

Scenario 2 - Weapons allowed, anything goes

Personally I think Linc takes scenario 1, as the guy is portrayed as a straight up freight train in terms of power. Scenario 2 has gotta be Doakes considering his military background.

im rewatching 1x11

I have two things to say

one watching this episode today just breaks my heart considering i know what happens to him in the future seasons he didnt deserve that

two why did michael take so long to include him in the escape i mean i know tweener was a rat but still why did he keep hesatating they even tried to keep him out when he Joined PI
