The Great Escape/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hendley and Colin may not have seen eye to eye (no joke or pun intendid) about a lot of things but. I liked watching Hendley stand up for Coiln just before the breakout.

Hendley: Colin's not a blind man as long as he's with me. And he's going with me!

  • While most of the ending is both Tear Jerker (because of the fifty deaths) or awesome (because Hilts and some of the others survived). I always smile a little when I hear ole 'Cooler King' Hilts throwing that baseball at the wall once again. It makes me remember that while the men went through a terrible tragedy, they will indure... and they did.
  • Louis' dedication to making sure Danny escapes with him (much like Hendley and Colin above).
