TWO NEW EPS OF PRISON BREAK SEASON 4 BELOW IS A SMALL REVIEW OF THE FIRST EPISODE.
prison Break: The Big Clean Up
So it’s back. And it works like this. Episode 1: Let’s clean up all the shit left behind by the prematurely cut short season 3, set up a new premise to drive the season, and introduce all the old favourites to make sure everyone keeps watching. Dont get me wrong, I really like episode one - it was great to have the show and characters back again. The contrivances to get us to the end of episode one at a point where we have all the drama set up for the rest of the season was a little too much though. Season 3 wasnt that bad, but someone somewhere assumes it was, based on viewing figures Id imagine. So within half hour we’ve supposedly wiped out Gretchen and definitely Whistler, the driving forces behind season 3, and we’ve brought back Sarah, the driving force of Seasons 1 & 2. All evidence of Season 3 is now removed from our minds by the company. It couldnt be more obvious that they are saying to the viewer “Please forget and forgive us for Season 3 and invest in Season 4 again. Thanks” And the thing is, I will. I like the style and the never ending hugely contrived “cliffhangers”. I like the mysterious, but ever so slightly silly “company” stuff. I like dumb-ass Linc going round killing everyone who waves at him, and Sucre harping on about Monte Cruise. In the end Ill watch because I like the characters and thats based on all three seasons that went before. The show is always going to suffer because its orginal idea is now a distant memory, but with stong characters we care about, it can succeed again. I think I just felt a little ‘miffed’ that the time I invested in Season 3 was unceriomoniusly wiped from my mind in an instant.

Plot
A young man named Wesley Gibson works at a dead-end job with an overbearing boss. His live-in girlfriend is sleeping with his best friend. He speaks of how his father left when he was just one week old. He wonders if maybe when he was born he looked into his eyes and saw a failure.
Elsewhere, a man
called "Mr. X" (David O'Hara) meets with a ballistics expert to find out who made a particular bullet for a "competitor". Suddenly, a sniper shoots the ballistics expert in the head from a nearby building. Mr. X leaps through the window and shoots his opponents in mid-flight, killing them. He lands on the building and begins talking to a man on a cell phone, unaware that he is standing on a marked spot. He notices it as the man, named Cross fires a multi-stage bullet from across town, killing Mr. X by going through the back of his head and out through his forehead.
One night at a pharmacy, Gibson meets a mysterious woman who tells him his father was an elite assassin who had been killed the day before. Gibson replies that his father abandoned him a week after his birth.
Plot
In Christmas of 1955, a young Hellboy is told a bedtime story by his father, Professor Trevor Broom (John Hurt), involving an ancient battle between humans and mythical creatures. A goblin blacksmith built an unstoppable clockwork army for Balor, the King of the Elves, which could only be controlled by those of royal blood, provided no one challenged their right to do so. This 'Golden Army' of 4900 soldiers or "70 times 70 soldiers", devastated the humans so mercilessly that Balor forged a truce with them to stop the bloodshed: man would keep his cities and the creatures would keep their forests. Balor's son, Prince Nuada (Luke Goss), didn't agree with the truce, and left in exile. The crown controlling the army was broken into three pieces, one piece going to the humans and the other two kept by the elves, so the Golden Army could never be raised again.
In the present, Nuada decides to declare war on the humans. He collects the first piece of the crown from an auction and kills his father for the second. His twin sister Princess Nuala (Anna Walton) escapes with the final piece. Meanwhile, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) is having relationship issues with his girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair). He is also having trouble accepting that their organization, the BPRD, must remain a secret. During a mission to eradicate thousands of ravenous tooth fairies, which Nuada set loose as he took the first piece of the crown, Hellboy allows himself to be revealed to the world. Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) discovers that Liz is pregnant in the commotion. Furious about the public unveiling, Washington sends a by-the-book agent, the ectoplasmic Johann Krauss (voiced by Seth MacFarlane), to take command. With Krauss in charge, the team tracks the tooth fairies to the Troll Market, an enormous merchant city hidden under the Brooklyn Bridge, for clues. Abe stumbles into Nuala, who has obtained a map leading to the Golden Army, during their search, and quickly falls in love with her following a brief psychic encounter. She is brought under BPRD protection following an attack by Nuada's companion Mr. Wink and a forest elemental. During the elemental fight, Hellboy questions whether it is right to fight for the humans when he too is a mythical creature.
