The words prison and prisoner invoke strong imagery.
The words prison and prisoner invoke strong imagery.
Prisoner: noun – “individual who is or feels restrained or trapped by a situation or set of circumstances.” Not only does this word aptly define all three of our main characters (and then some) at this point in the game, but it is also profoundly appropriate for the viewer this week- so captivated by the…
What can I say about “The Prisoner”? I can’t honestly say I “liked” this episode. “Like” doesn’t describe my emotional or intellectual response to it. It was intense, but even that doesn’t seem to be the right description. It elicited fear, foreboding and dread. I was tense for the entire episode, and afterward I felt…
There isn’t much in the way of coherent thought after an ending like this one. Aside from the image of Charlie’s prone body half-in, half-out of the bathtub, well, the mind is mostly blank. “Dark Dynasty” was all about the family unit, in one way or another and the emotions – and thereby actions –…

In hindsight, the watered down version…
Be still my beating fan girl heart. You are still alive! Just wow, wasn’t “The Inside Man” the breath of fresh air we all desperately needed? One of the biggest disappointments I’ve had with season ten is that everything I watch just feels off. It’s been hard to explain why, but last night reminded me…
Summary: This episode was written by Andrew Dabb and brings the myth back into focus on the show.
