Season 2 - Prison Break

The season started off with the convicts on the run, taking their own separate journeys, and introduced an intriguing new character that was meant to counter Michael Scofield's genius, federal agent Alexander Mahone, who was portrayed by character actor William Fichtner. Mahone proved to be the kind of character you loved to hate. At times he'd scare you, and other moments you'd feel really sorry for him. Fichtner did a fantastic job in bringing this multi-dimensional character to life, and the troubled Mahone became one of the most compelling reasons to watch Prison Break this season.

Mahone was given a mandate by the mysterious "Company" to eliminate every single Fox River escapee, and he set out to do so meticulously, until his own demons started to catch up with him. In another unprecedented move by the show's writers, this season featured a number of notable character deaths, so those viewers attached to the escapees and would-be heroes should prepare themselves for a possible shock. By the end of the season, the kenetic manhaunt is littered with bodies as several of the show's key characters lay dead - some to murder, others to suicide, and some whose "deaths" may even be in question.

Agent Paul Kellerman's internal struggle between his blind loyalty to the Company, his desire for revenge against the President and his overall dislike for the convicts helps to drive the season's suspense and keep the always shifting loyalties in flux. No longer able to speak directly to President Reynolds, he instead is forced to take orders from the sinister, ever-smiling Agent Kim. Kim, unfortunately, becomes the season's greatest weakness - neither likeable nor joyfully hated. His two-dimensional, one-note performance is a millstone around the neck of the entire season.

The main characters each undergo their own individual transformations during the season, as well. Lincoln begins asserting himself more, and at times actually feels like the more level-headed brother. Scofield - ever prone to making any number of emotional mis-steps in his efforts to maintain his humanity - is mostly related to trying to help Sara Tancredi.

Not every story arc this season proved to be successful however. The chase for Westmoreland's five million dollar stash felt too much like a bad parody of an episode of The Amazing Race, and T-Bag's murderous quest for the perfect family felt all too implausbile. A bounty hunter vs. escapee storyline between Bellick and Sucre helps to pad out the action, but it's ultimate conclusion in South America - and the incredibly implausible way in which the remaining characters are all driven to converge on this plot-thread - is almost too coincidental to bare.

Several main storylines are wrapped up in the concluding episodes - not all of which are handled neatly or concievably. Michael and Lincoln learn of a conneciton between thier father and The Company; the President's brother and the silly secret he shares with his sister is revealed; Mahone's connection to Kim explored and some of the people just mentioned won't live into Season Three.

wentworht miller is the hottest love his eyes!

Love :33! Remember Mahone had orders to kill Kellerman, and Kellerman obviously wants to get the brothers away from the police, so Mahone and Kellerman hesitate for a minute. Mahone isn't a monster, so he hesitates to kill someone he had formerly been working with, and Kellerman takes the shot, temporarily incapacitating Mahone. The idea that neither wanted to kill the other is something to me.
