It definitely was not what killed the show for me, but I've always been unhappy with that plot.
It's things like that that make me glad I've never watched the show.
Making this conspiracy all about SpyDaddy, to me, takes away a lot of Linc as an "everyman," regular guy who got himself into trouble and got caught up in this thing by random accident.
Oh I'm totally with you right there. I liked the morbid irony of Lincoln being sentenced to death for the one thing he didn't actually do. He thought about it, yeah. Hell maybe if Steadman hadn't already of bean "dead" when he got there he may have actually done it. But he didn't.
I think you're right with Boondock Saints, I think that revelation really worked within the context of the movie and the whole "chosen by God to carry out this mission" concept.
Exactly, it was perfect for the movie because it fit. In this show? It's like me suddenly making Michael a Saiyan and having him sprout a tail; it just doesn't work.
t's funny, because C-Note has been shown to have booksmarts similar to Michael, but not all that good at thinking quickly
The way I see it? They're a spectrum. Sucre is very much not with the booksmarts, but that's okay, he has amazing street smarts and he's quick on his feet, he vvery much reminds me of someone who could have grown up in Humboldt Park because it's a sitty neighborhood and you have to be quick on your feet. You need to be able to spit out a believable lie to the cops when they ask why you're out so late at night and you have to know who you can trust to collaberate on your story and who will fuck you over. He;s one end of a spectrum.
C-Note is the other end of the spectrum, he kind of reminds me of Fraiser a little. He's a victim of his booksmarts and he's not used to thinking on his feet. In the Army you learn to follow orders, thinking for yourself isn't usually a good thing, and so I think C-Note flourished there. Sadly he's not used to thinking quick, he's not used to haveing to fake a story right on the spot, he's used to being fed his lines and such.
Michael? Is right there in the middle. He grew up on the streets and went to college and got his book learning on, so he's right in the middle of that specturm between them. He's got the best of both worlds.
Would Linc still be able to go to church/mass/whatever it is now that he's in solitary? That's the only place I could see them logically interacting.
Nope. You get fifteen minutes out a day, if you're good, to shower and that's it. You shower alone because the guards take you out in shifts, cell one out then in, cell two out then in, ect, ect. This is one of those things where if a guard were to be nice and let two of the inmates cross paths to say hi or something he would be reprimanded badly and possibly lose his job even.
