Episode Report Card Sobell: A | 2 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT He is a man of constant smirking

And now comes the money shot: Michael strips off his shirt and says, "I've got 'em on me." We see that he's basically tattooed from clavicle to hipbone, with his arms covered, in what appears to be Dungeons & Dragons imagery. Linc goggles and asks, "Am I supposed to be seeing something here?" We all look as the blueprints hidden underneath all the tattoos are slowly drawn out, and we zoom from the narrow door hidden on Michael's back to a real door -- because he's about to break out. A whizzy ride through the tunnels later, and we're at an aerial shot of the yard, then a pullback from the prison, as if to imply that as we move through the series, its scope will broaden. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it. Either way, this is a promising beginning.
