Though I do like the fact that the story has moved to Panama, there are a few inexplicable decisions in this week’s episode that simply cannot be overlooked:

1. There’s no way in hell that FBI Internal Affairs lets C-Note go on his own recognizance if he’s supposed to testify against Mahone. They might keep him in jail or they might keep him in a safe house, but they would not release him.
2. Why in the world would Michael have a tattoo of Christ(ina) Rose on his arm, allowing anyone bright (or determined) enough to figure out his endgame? It’s the name of your mom! You can’t remember it without a tattoo? For that matter, if you’re an escaped felon, why would you name your boat after your mom?
3. How does T-Bag neglect to put a “Do Not Disturb” tag on his door when leaving a murdered prostitute in the hotel bathroom? It would have bought him at least a few hours head start.

Ridiculous, dumb and dumb.

Like I said in my last post, I just hate it when smart characters do stupid things. It makes the show tough to enjoy.

And, otherwise, there was a lot to like about this episode. From Sarah’s question – “Are you asking me to sail off into the sunset with you?” – to Bellick’s insult – “What’s Spanish for INS?” – there were some good lines.

But still, there is one thing that bothers me. If the President is out of office, why does Mr. Kim still care about tracking down the convicts? Wasn’t the original intent to protect the President? Now that she’s gone, who really cares?

I’m guessing it has something to do with the mysterious SONA file, but even money says that the writers don’t even know where that storyline is headed right now.

And where in the world is Agent Eisen?
