John's plan is to get busted, charged, and convicted for some crime, and end up in the same prison as Nelson IV's cellmate. But John wants to witness and be at least a small part in Nelson IV's suffering. Nelson IV's incarceration should be enough for John, who knows that someone like Nelson IV, ill-equipped mentally for a life behind bars, is easy prey to get beaten, raped and/or killed in prison. In that new mission, John ends up not having to do anything as certain people are out to get Nelson IV, who in the process receives a 3 to 5 year prison sentence. Unable to do so, John does the next best thing: destroy the life of the judge's privileged thirty year old son, Nelson Biederman IV. As such, John makes it his mission to destroy the judge's life. In all three cases, he was sentenced by Judge Nelson Biederman III. Did you really think I'd end this recap without calling out my boy Abel and his adorable baby gargoyle? I was relieved to learn that Abel renamed the gargoyle Goldie… no living being deserves to be named Girvin.John Lyshitski, a young man who has been in prison more often than he has not over the entire course of his life, has just been released from what was his third prison sentence.I can't imagine the kind of sky-miles this guy is racking up… he's like a demonic version of George Clooney's Ryan Bingham from Up In The Air. In a single episode, Corinthian travels from Manhattan, to Alabama, to London (tracking Rose).Shout out to whoever from the creative team made that spot-on decision… I can't think of a more miserable fashion choice.
WATCH PRISON BREAK SEASON 1 EPISODE 21 SERIES
For me, the biggest laugh out loud moment in the entire series thus far is the fact that Despair wears Crocs.Really speaks to the widespread popularity of the source material. First Charles Dance and David Thewlis, now John Cameron Mitchell, Stephen Fry and Mark Hamill in one episode… it's truly unbelievable how many icons this show was able to attract. Two epic cameos in this episode I can't omit: Stephen Fry as the kindly b&b guest who saves Rose from a mugging, and Mark Hamill as Mervyn Pumpkinhead.Though I'm not sure what an Italian toddler would have been doing in a British pub… Would've much preferred seeing someone a bit more unexpected - like famed explorer Francis Drake, fresh off a globe-trotting expedition, or an inquisitive little four-year-old Galileo. Feels a bit like low hanging fruit, a bit too obvious for a show so left-of-center. Not sure how I feel about the William Shakespeare cameo in 1589.It's a nice callback to Dream telling Joanna in Chapter 3 that he's known her family for years. I enjoyed the appearance of Joanna Constantin's ancestor… Joanna Constantin (in 1789) who's also played by Jenna Coleman.We're finally seeing a slightly lighter, more colorful, dare I say more human side of Dream, and I'm interested to see where he takes the performance from here. I know I've ragged a bit on Tom Sturridge's performance as Dream, but I was pleased to see him come out of his shell in this episode.I'm not sure it's got a whole lot of depth to it, and it's there that the series feels truly lacking, but I'm always excited to tune in to see what kind of stunt they'll pull next. It never ceases to amaze me - this show's willingness to throw traditional structure out the window and do something truly wild. I probably say this every time, but this might've been the most interesting episode yet.
