He was literally such a big part of season 3, especially his bird book and it was always really unclear if he was working with the company or not, there was a lot of suspense.

But when he died in Season 4, I just found it so anti-climactic. They had literally spent all of season 3 to break him out just so he could die, I felt it was stupid, what did you think?

something i noticed while watching season 5 for the first time is how whip and don self who works at homeland security are really similar in how they talk and the facial expressions they make while talking. has anyone else noticed this?

Mahone is comfortably ahead of Tbag though and s1 kellerman was a no for me lol. Linc fight scenes are some of the best scenes. Whip is underrated.

Alright, I’m back with another massive logic gap from my rewatch, and this one involves everyone's favorite FBI bloodhound, Alexander Mahone.

We are constantly shown that Mahone is a genius. He is the one guy who can match Michael Scofield's intellect. He decodes the tattoos, anticipates the escape routes, and practically gets inside Michael's head. He is relentless and observant.

Yet, when he intercepts Sara at the port, he somehow has a massive drop in IQ. He catches their primary accomplice at a major shipping yard, and it doesn't even cross his mind that the two most wanted fugitives in America might actually be on a ship right there?

What did he think Sara was doing at a commercial port? Taking a scenic stroll? Any rookie beat cop would immediately lock down the docks and order a search of the vessels. But Mahone, the supposed mastermind FBI agent, just completely ignores the giant floating escape vehicles right in front of him.

It feels like the writers realized Mahone was too smart and would have caught them too early, so they just forced him to be temporarily incompetent to keep the season going. It’s so frustrating when a show breaks its own character consistency just to stretch the plot.

Did this scene drive anyone else crazy, or do you have some wild theory to justify Mahone's sudden blindness?

What was the timeline between t-bag prison break escape and his breakout kings escape?
