It’s fascinating to watch Michael work his way out of these problems. We want to see them escape and we want to see Michael help these people out. Little moments like Sid stabbing the guy, Ja stopping to get food, or Whip confronting Abu makes the next big leg of the escape all the more engaging. All these twists and turns start to really do the legwork of making us care about these new prisoners. I’m going to ignore the fact they all could have easily gotten more guns from the guards’ office and chock that up to being swept up in the pursuit of Michael and Abu.
We also had the ticking clock of not only the bombs but also some overzealous prisoners trying to take control.
