Bolshoi booze

There are things you watch , there are things you observe and there are characters who you become, unconsciously. So overpowering are their traits that you cannot help but do what they do, speak what they speak and behave like they do. To strive and to emulate them becomes your way of tribute. It does not matter if you fall face first while doing so. After all, what are we, but the product of our influences?

True story

The hours spent in this irresistible pass time come to mind. The meaning of addiction is realized. It simply did not matter what official work or personal plans you had the next day. All that mattered was that you had to cave in to the temptation of watching the next episode, as they were experts in ending one with you hanging on the edge :) I remember sitting through the first two seasons in a single weekend once!

To this day, I try to walk like Michael Scofield did, in Prison Break. A cool, steady walk, hands in pockets or in overalls as the snowflake soaks his environment into his photographic memory. 

The cool and calm calculus of reason

Attention to detail is life. No stone is left unturned. He is the strategist immaculate. I also began looking at time in this way!:

Time

The moment of reckoning was the unveiling and purpose of the tattoos. The myriad and elaborate schemes to achieve the objective were planned to the dot. Cute poison, Bolshoi booze, English, Fitz or Percy were words which me and blue fish invoked everywhere at will, many times to others irritation :P . Above all, the bond between the bros and the lengths they would go to for each other were at the delicate core of this saga.

Link played his part to perfection, the  furrows of injustice manifesting in his tough look. Dr. Sara Tancredi lent her grace always, balancing the tense moments with her poise, calm and serene eyes :) Mahone and Kellerman were suits in their own right, claiming the boundaries of right and wrong within their limitations of mind, family, and country. T Bag exemplified menace and cunning. It was a great cast!

The planning phases evoked ideas from Chemistry, structures, electricity, geology and history and soothed my trivia- seeking mind. The reconnaissance was worthy of the highest levels of spying and I also scan boards like Scofield does here, so entrenched was the series' influence on me :P

The subsequent seasons seem like discordant notes in an otherwise brilliant, dazzling and captivating sonata. But that will never diminish the wonderful memories of experiencing the first two seasons of this wonderful series.
