Lane Garrison (Tweener) Sentenced

The actor who played Tweener was sentenced today to 3 years 4 months in prison for his drunk driving which resulted in the death of a 17 year old Beverly Hills High student last December.

Season 3, Episode 5!

Here's the latest from PrisonTube as we follow Michael and Whistler's escape plot, Susan B's connection to The Company and T-Bag trying to help a poor nun. Was Lincoln a bit distracted from digging at the beach as Sofia stretched out on the sand? And could Sara still be alive? (One of our posters thinks so and backs it up with some intriguing evidence!). Check out the episode and let us know what you think!

Susan B and The Company

First, some housekeeping: I know what you're wondering, namely, "Where's the episode of PrisonTube you promised us last week, Daryl?" Well, we had some production delays due, in part, to a friend's wedding last weekend which kept Lauren (our master editor) busier than usual. He's on it, but we'll probably save that episode of PrisonTube for the next break in the Prison Break broadcast schedule.

Now to Susan B and The Company--I have a new Conspiracy Corner thought I wanted to bounce off you:

Since Lincoln first met Susan B, I've assumed she was yet another henchman (henchwoman? henchperson?) working on The Company's behalf to coerce Lincoln (and, indirectly, Michael) into breaking Whistler out of Sona. It seemed to make sense--after all, The Company has a long reach and seemingly endless resources. They've also got a track record of playing as dirty as they need to in pursuit of their goals. So Susan B fits the pattern.

But I got to thinking: What if Susan B is actually working on behalf of some other party that might also be interested in getting Whistler out of Sona? E.g., organized crime (Panamanian Mafia?) or some other organization with an ample supply of resources and ruthlessness.

Here's why I think that scenario might make sense:

1. It explains why the Company Guy comes to Sona to talk to Michael--telling him that there are all sorts of resources to aid him if he can just break out of Sona. If Susan B was working on The Company's dime, why would they bother to talk to Michael at Sona--just let her do her thing (she's obviously effective).
2. It explains why Susan B would kill Sara to motivate Lincoln. I don't think The Company would have taken that route. They've got a long history with Michael by now--they know what he's capable of and how he'd react if he found out they killed Sara. They know what she means to him. It would be counterproductive for The Company to kill Sara at this point. But another organization might not know as much about Michael and might instead be relying on fear and threats to motivate Lincoln (and Michael). And again, why would Company Guy drive out to Sona to encourage Michael to escape if he was just going to turn around and kill Sara to make the same point?
3. The bird book. It has bothered me--ever since the scene where Whistler receives a mail envelope with the bird book inside and a hand-written note ("You're running out of time" or something similar). I couldn't come up with a good reason why The Company would send the book back to Whistler. It's obviously important or he wouldn't have locked it up in a safe deposit box. But what if it wasn't important to Susan B? What if she (or her organization) want Whistler out of Sona for some other reason (perhaps related to the murder he's alleged to have committed?). Then it would make sense for Susan B to casually use the bird book to send a message to Whistler in prison. She knew it had been stored in a safe deposit box--but the book isn't important to her; Whistler is. Here, James, you can have your book. It's you I'm waiting for.
4. Finally (related to #2 above), the whole head-in-a-box thing doesn't seem like something The Company would do. That's a primitive way to motivate someone and it leaves loose ends (like, say, A HEAD IN A BOX). That's not the signature of a Company operation, is it?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Am I way off base? Or is this old news and everyone else already sees things this way? Let me know what you think!

4 Days, 20 Hours, 24 Minutes To Go

I just checked Fox.com's NASA-style countdown timer and we're now down to T-minus 4 days, 20 hours until episode 305 of Prison Break airs. I'm eagerly awaiting more clues as to who Whistler really is and why he's so important to The Company. Like Alex (who regularly posts comments here on PrisonTube.net), I'm fascinated by the cryptic information we've seen so far in the bird book and heard from James Whistler himself.

We did tape an episode of PrisonTube this afternoon--in the rain, which was kind of cool. (At least I thought it was cool...the others mostly thought it was just cold!). Our master editor is working on the footage as we speak--he should have it posted before the weekend (check back here--we always add a post as soon as it's up on YouTube). You'll see Sara Beth's character profile of Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell in this episode, as well as Lauren's review of some interesting fan posts.

Season 3 Episode 4 is up

Scofield's Tattoo

Well, I realize this has already been beaten to death by all the fans during Season 1, but a poster on one of our YouTube videos made this comment:

Hmmmmmm completly pointless question but dont you think it a little too convient that Schofield has kept his long sleeve top in perfect order and not had to take it off, Does this mean they cant be arsed to paint the tattoo on anymore???

Which is a question I'd asked myself too. I'd remember reading back during the hype around Season 1 about the tattoo taking a while to apply so I thought I'd look it up again.

4 to 5 hours per application! That's nuts! If I were Wentworth Miller I'd be asking to have my long sleeve shirt on too (even if the set for Sona is in Texas...) just to avoid the hassle. Another 45 minutes for removal adds up to 6 hours just for your body art - that's gotta make for a long day of shooting.

That said, I think I speak for everyone when I say "bring on the tattoo!"

Season 3 Episode 3 Is Up!

Here's the latest episode--just cut, rendered and uploaded to YouTube moments ago by our master editor.

We've got opinions on everything from Mahone's withdrawal symptoms to whether or not Michael should pull the sweatshirt off once in a while (Sara Beth gives that a thumbs-up). Check out Whistler's secret codes from the bird book as Linc flips through pages during a slick slo-mo clip. When you're done watching, tell us what you think. Post your comments and ideas and join us as we try to guess...

...What's In The Box?

--D.

STAMPEDE...614291925 ?

Any ideas what it means?

Whistler tells Michael he's a fisherman--splits his time between the Pacific Northwest and Panama. After an environmentalist chartered Whistler's boat and took water samples, the company becomes unhappy with Whistler--harrassing him at home (in the Seattle area?), etc. They've demanded he take them out to the exact spot where the water samples were taken. So he flees to Panama where his girlfriend awaits.

So far, I've got nothing.

I don't know why "The Company" would need Whistler alive. Nor do I have any ideas on the 9-digit number down the right side of one of the bird book's pages. Or what "STAMPEDE" means.

More to come as I track down additional details...

Update

Our video for episode 3 is on its way...

Thanks for the comments we love to hear from you!
