The Prison Break Discussion Thread v2
So we have about two weeks before this great show returns. I really can't wait for this, not only because it's a great show, but also because it's gonna be paired up with 24, the best fucking show ever. Prison Break + 24 = Best night of television ever. March 20th couldn't come any faster.
Also of note is the Prison Break marathon on FX the Sunday (March 19) before the new episodes start. Great for a refresher if you need one, or a great oppurtunity to start watching if you've never seen it. |
Doh... Prison Break is coming on before 24? I don't think I can skip my Monday night class every week for Prison Break. I'm already going to next week because of the double Bauer hour. Looks like post-broadcast downloads for me...
Anyway, I'm looking forward as to how any of what happened previously actually plays out. It was such a long wait compared to the other shows I've been addicted to recently. It better be worth the wait. |
OHH shi yes. Wtf happened to that damn House that made Prison Break go off for so long. I didn't know PB was going to go in at 8 o clock. Best LINEUP ever there.
I need to refresh up on what happened the last ep. I have some memories of it, but can't remember all the details. Unlike Scofield who has a godly memory because of his condition. |
This is great. I didn't know that it was restarting so soon. I thought that I had to wait until May. Awesome, now I'll be watching two series - my friends got my hooked on Grey's Anatomy two weeks ago.
|
Will we be able to handle all the suspense and drama that we'll get from watching Prisonbreak and 24 back-to-back? I can see it now. "Man died in his home due to TV-caused stress."
|
The only thing that made Prison Break for me was the tension. I never really cared much for the characters; I was always just interested in seeing how/if they would escape. For some reason I feel the answer to that last cliffhanger's going to be, "Oh wait I forgot we can just go through this vent over here" or something equally simplistic.
|
Prison Break was one of the few great new shows last year. The characters and plot are really good. I've been waiting with huge anticipation for new episodes, and now the wait is almost over. I will try to watch the marathon on FX just to get a little refresher course on things I may have missed throughout the season.
|
I did care for the characters and I thought the cast was awesome. Especially Bellick (Wade Williams) and "T-Bag" (Robert Knepper).
Can't wait for this show to get back on air. |
T-Bag? Is that the flamboyant redneck omnisexual? I can't even appreciate him as a villain. I just hope he dies before it's over. Nothing redeeming about him at all.

For one, very obvious imitation of LOST. Surely, LOST didn't create the concept of flashbacks or the concept of flashbacks immediately relevant to character decisions. However, LOST being one of the most popular shows on television, trying to imitate it mid-season seems very desparate and overall unoriginal. Besides that, what can the flashbacks tell us? So-and-so killed someone or robbed a bank or sold drugs? Either the writers are going to try to make us pity the characters by making the characters seem like like victims of their crimes, victims of their environments, forced into their crimes, wrongly accused, etc. Or the writers can make the characters twice as unlikeable by having them have actually done unlawful things. Or the writers can make these unlawful things overall trivial and undramatic, like robbing a convenient store, which would be a waste of the audience's time. |

So did anyone watch the marathon today? I watched pieces of it just to get a refresher, especially on episode 13. The thing I wanna know is, when was that 'Behind the Walls' special that came on before the marathon made? It seems like it was made between the time the show took its first break (which was after episode 7, I believe), but I never saw it on TV or anything around that time.
|
Wow. I never knew there was previous discussion about this show (assuming from topic title labing it as v2). At first I didn't pay attention to the show until my friend recommended and now I can't wait until Monday night for the show to resume. I'm glad to have a digital OTA tuner so now I can watch the show in HD. :D

Should be good. Prison Break sucked for the first couple episodes, then it got interesting.
Granted, this won't be nearly as good as the Buffy/Angel night, but it should be good. ;] |

And just think, for those of us who like it, CSI: Miami comes on right after this powerful two-hour block (find a seat with a good edge indeed). Admittingly there isn't as much action or suspense, but it's still a good show.
|
I thought tonight's episode was a good one to come back with. It had lots of suspenseful moments, and it ended with a good cliffhanger. However, in the preview for next week's episode:

I liked the episode as well. There were just so many points where you would think success would happen, but it was all "fail." I was really into it, and when the end came, I was left begging for more. Fuck this week shit.
|
I truly believe that Lincoln is going to be executed. At this point, there doesn't seem to be any way to avoid it. There were four strikes. That's more than enough.
|
I saw the latest episode recently. This is just getting ridiculous. Please kill Lincoln already or something. The show is just being dragged on and on and on. It's still better than a lot of the other trash that they're showing on TV though.
|
How is it being dragged? It is not like they extended the execution. At least it hasn't been yet.
What do you want them to do lol |
If Lincoln gets executed but Michael somehow finds out about this much larger conspiracy, Michael will have reason to break out in order to bust the Vice President. Obviously, the show can't really end until this is done. Michael also might be the only person with the intelligence to do this; it seems like everyone else is getting pwned in the process.
