Prison Break. Season 4, Episode 11. "Quiet Riot" Since the start of this season the show has been reminding me of Mission: Impossible. Never more than in this episode, which is dominated by a long sequence of silent action where Michael, Alex, Linc and Sucre execute their plan to break in and steal Scylla.
As well as the fact that this is one of the most tension-filled hours of Prison Break ever filmed this episode illustrates once again why this series deserves to be listed as one of the best shows of all time. Two weeks ago we were witness to one man's very dark journey as Alex Mahone tortured and executed the man who killed his son. This week we have a tour de force of silent action as the four heroes try to steal their goal. There's nothing even remotely alike about these two episodes. Proving that PB can tell any sort of story that it wants to. This, more than anything, separates PB from similar shows like Mission Impossible or 24.
In other news: Jodi Lyn O'Keefe looks totally hot as a 'naughty schoolgirl'. Wow. That's gonna fuel my fantasies for a few weeks.
NewsRadio. Season 2, Episode 20. "Coda" Storylines for Joe and Matthew generate minor laughs while Dave, Bill and Mr. James steal the episode by being locked in a room with an editor trying to create the perfect promo. My favourite bit occurs when the editor goofs around and makes Bill's voice say: "I'm Bill McNeil. On! Crack. I like. Boys" and Bill totally fails to see the humour. That moment gave me one of the biggest laughs the show ever gave me. I think of it from time to time and I always chuckle. "I'm Bill McNeil. On! Crack. I like. Boys"
