My TV Musings

Some observations I had throughout the show:

• Who lets these cons have a room to themselves to plan a riot?

• It took way to long for the place to go on lockdown

• Oh this is just a juvie facility? Coulda fooled me!

• Emily thinks kids are easier to talk down?

• There’s a phone in the yard??

• Rome, the guy in the handcuffs, is in charge?

• Guess not - Nathan, the man in the bunker has guards and weapons, and that apparently trumps handcuffs

• Cool movie reference - Fletch!

• The new guard must have been scared watching the cons get more rowdy by the minute - and Rome was willing to take advantage of it

• Nathan did all this to stop the juvie center from closing?

• I don’t buy that either Nathan or Rome is under 18! But Rome was right, the guard should have known what might happen - poor rookie!

• Then Nathan actually starts making some sense

• Cool fight in the yard - Nathan showed who was in charge didn’t he?

• Saving that rookie was cool - now what’s Rome gonna do to get back at him?

• This is the first time Matt and Emily disagreed about something related to work?

• It’s good to see Acevada (Benito Martinez, the Senator) from The Shield is continuing to get work

• The Senator sure is a hard nosed SOB

• I can understand the problem with the non-violent ones in there with the violent ones

• Emily made a good point to the Senator: “all you gotta do is listen”

• All it takes is for one of the bad guy cons to get hold of rifle

• At least this week it’s clear who is in charge

• Maybe the construction company for the Supermax prison is owned by the Senator

• The riot’s been going on for 3 days - wow

• OMG - Emily did NOT follow Matt out! This is gonna be a problem

• So Nathan’s not such a nice guy after all! Almost killed a guard

• Maybe Matt and Lia can get together

• And maybe the Senator will take Emily under his wing!

• I wouldn’t be surprised if Rome used to be a skinhead before his hair grew back in

• Nathan should blow Rome’s head off when he has the chance

• Cool! The kid gets his first kill! He DID have to kill him - but now he should put down the gun and walk out

• Oh, great - Nathan’s gonna be a martyr - can Matt talk him down before the SORT team kills him?

• I wonder if Emily and Matt set the whole thing up so she could stay in the negotiation?

• I guess not and this Friday is the series finale

• Did Matt really quit?

• Are they really taking a break?

• Will the finale wrap things up?
