8 corrected entries in season 1

(18 votes)

Riots, Drills and the Devil: Part 2 - S1-E7

Corrected entry: Michael sees that Tancredi needs help in the sickroom/nurse room from a TV monitor. So he climbs up to the roof and looks down to see Tancredi screaming for help. So he goes down, under the field. And then he is in the space between the inner roof and inner ceiling, and he walks to save Tancredi. Why didn't they use this escape way when the first failed? And they didn't need that key from Tancredi. They could escape just by walking in the ceiling space.

Correction: The crawl space lead to the sick bay in B wing and not the infirmary.

And Then There Were 7 - S1-E11

Corrected entry: When Michael realises they have too many clowns in the car, they think they can get rid of T-bag. But T-bag says he called someone and told them that "if he doesn't hear from me 5 minutes before the escape or 20 minutes after, he'll call the warden and blow the whistle." They could just go ahead as per usual until T-bag makes the 5 minutes before call, then kill him during the escape, and they still have 20 minutes after the escape.

Correction: Michael is strongly against anyone dying. Throughout all 5 seasons he is remorseful at any loss of life. The act of killing T-bag just for the sake of it is not something he would allow.

Pilot - S1-E1

Corrected entry: Veronica pulls Lincoln's file after being informed that The Bishop was killed in his home. The file lists Lincoln Burrows as the Plaintiff, and State of Illinois as the defendant. Given that it was a murder trial, these should be reversed. (00:33:05)

SwingBlade

Correction: The case was Lincoln's appeal where he would be the Plaintiff.

Brother's Keeper - S1-E16

Corrected entry: When Michael gets put in solitary, Sucre is the only one who is left to fill in the hole in the guards' room. However the convicts had already started to fill in the hole with cement, so there is no way Sucre could have climbed up into the guards' room from below with a layer of concrete blocking his way.

Correction: The men had not yet began to cement the flooring. They had only put a board down which would get in his way.

Riots, Drills and the Devil: Part 1 - S1-E6

Corrected entry: Michael rescues Sara by crawling through a pipe leading into the infirmary. Later in the series Michael must find another way to get inside the infirmary, because the way he planned to go could not be used. So surely the prisoners could have used this way to get inside the infirmary. There is no reason why Michael could not have even thought of going this way given he had used it before. It would have been much easier and not as risky going this way rather than through the prison yard and corridors. This could have been Michael's plan to get inside the infirmary from the beginning.

Correction: Sara wasn't at the infirmary during the riots, but in sick bay: a different part of the prison complex in a whole other building.

Flight - S1-E22

Corrected entry: When Michael and the other escapees go through the hole in the cell, Michael pulls the toilet back against the wall as they leave. However when the warden and the guards go to the cell later on, the toilet is off the wall again.

Correction: The guards have already found the hole behind the toilet before they show it to the Warden. There's no reason for them to replace the toilet against the wall.

Agreed. They are leaving it to show Bellick and Pope.

Allen - S1-E2

Corrected entry: When Veronica is watching the tape of the 'shooting' for the first time, Lincoln flinches when he gun fires but since the tape was doctored and he never actually fired the gun, he shouldn't have flinched when it supposedly went off.

Correction: Regardless of whether he did or didn't fire the gun he saw a dead body in front of him. Perhaps the reason he flinched as someone had already killed the person he was supposed to kill. In any regard it's not a mistake to flinch regardless of the situation.

Lummie

Correction: Lincoln didn't kill Steadman. However with the footage showing he did, it makes him flinch as it's a what could have been situation.

Cute Poison - S1-E4

Corrected entry: When Michael tells Pope about Haywire and wanting to get rid of him, Pope tells him that unless there is a sign of violence or sexual predation, he can't have Haywire transferred because the prison is too crowded to transfer cellmates due to personality clashes; yet Fernando gets transferred to another cell from Michael's with no problems.

Correction: Pope is meaning that a prisoner can't request that another prisoner be transferred unless there is violence or sexual advances. Sucre was one who requested his transfer making the scenario a little different. While it might have been turned down because of overcrowding this time it was granted.

Lummie

Season 1 generally

Factual error: When Michael fills the tank with water (below the stock room), he then strips his clothes off, and slides down a pipe and into the water at the bottom of the tank. Since the water level was way above him, the pipe he slid down and the access to get there would have been flooded also. There was no water in the pipe he slid down, so for that area to be dry, it would have to be above the water line.

Scylla - S4-E1

Trivia: Spoiler. The Scylla alarm on the General's computer is visible on screen for a second or two. Below the flashing word 'alarm', it says it is in section AA-23. That's also the designation of the prison block where Princess Leia is being held in Star Wars.

Greatness Achieved - S4-E9

Question: How does Don Self know that Miriam should work at Gate when nobody knew about the location of Scylla? Or Whistler wanting to work there?

Answer: Don Self actually worked with Whistler before he died. And Whistler with the bird book actually knew where Scylla was.

Answer: Because Miriam was an agent.

But that still doesn't make sense because nobody knew where Scylla was.

He knew that GATE was mentioned in the bird book. He worked with Whistler and had probably discussed GATE with him, so it was clear enough that it was a big part of the plan to get Scylla. Sending an agent to work there in any position would've been a big help for intel, as she could assess the environment and perhaps uncover what Whistler's plan was. He didn't anticipate T-bag's hijacking of the plan, hence why he sent Miriam and not a more combat-trained agent. She was only there for information.
