Season 3 preview (http://www.fox.com/fod/player.htm?show=prison)

Starts this Monday September 17th at 8pm on FOXHD.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!

Be interesting to see how it goes...while they can never recapture the magic and quality of season 1, it looks promising.

Two concerns:

The story/plot of the series is completely diff now...ie, the conspiracy is all but over...takes away some of the intrique.

I hope we don't get too bogged down in making the whole season about breaking out again.

Either way, I still love this show and looking forward to it...however, like Lost, I think they need to set an end date for this puppy...as now, I cant see this going beyond this year unless they bring in a great new stroy line.

'Prison Break' is kind of a strange show. It's almost like they were surprised at it's success and never really had anything planned if it went longer than 1 season. They managed a thill-a-minute second season, and we loved every second of it, but as the above poster mentioned, since they've resolved the main conspiracy, what the heck do they do now? Well, another season breaking out of a prison, this time a really nasty Mexican one. This time without the benifit of the first season's main gimmick - Michael's intricate tatoos. And, assume ratings hold strong, what about next season? Will our boys be on the lam in Mexico, chased by a Mexican version of Mahone?? Luckily for them, I hear it's pretty easy to get across the border. ;)

We here in the Archie family like the characters, so we're stickin' with 'em, but it's looking like the plotlines will have to enter whole new realms of preposterousness to keep the franchise going... And for this show, that's saying something!

I thought there was still more to the conspiracy that we haven't seen yet--remember the military doctor guy at the end of last season? It seems like it was their plan all along to get the brothers (or at least one them) to Panama and placed into SONA. He said something to that effect to someone (I should have watched the season finale replay last week to get caught up).

'Prison Break' is kind of a strange show. It's almost like they were surprised at it's success and never really had anything planned if it went longer than 1 season.

Considering that it's on Fox, I bet the show's creators were downright shocked that they lasted more than a dozen episodes. They were probably expecting an early cancellation and never even considered the possibility that they might actually be renewed for multiple seasons.

*subscribed*

Yeah Baby!

:D :D :D

I particularly like the actors and filming of this program. It has something a little extra that makes me look forward to it each week. It's really good HD and doesn't have that moody orange look that directors give to a lot of shows. I wish they all looked like this one.

And it begins...

"So soon I forget". Is SARA (Michael's girlfriend) coming back?

"So soon I forget". Is SARA (Michael's girlfriend) coming back?Yes, and according to WM, there will be some interesting things going on as far as their relationship.

I wasn't thrilled at all with season 2. Thought it was lame. But season 3 gives them a chance to get back to what made season 1 great.

I really with D* would get the local HD's in my market, this is depressing with all the new shows starting.

Agreed, I hope they improve this year. I know my DVR is set.

actually, doesn't look like she's coming back...

Sarah Wayne Callies is not coming back for season 3....unfortunately.

alright i'm along for the ride

I was skeptical about how they were going to pull this off if scofield was simply being "tested", but there's much more to it than that.

Although the coincidence of him being in Panama and the government's interests being in the same location was a bit hard to swallow.

My only gripe with the show is that the dialog is very hard to hear...either the bass is too high, or these actors are mumbling like crazy.

I dont think the pq of the show was that good tonight, kville looks alot better in my opinion

I agree about the dialog. During the scene with Mahone and Scofield, I didn't understand much of what they were mumbling.

Prison Break is one of the dumbest shows on TV now. The first season was implausible but different. The second season plummeted from one stupid coincidence and conspiracy twist to the next - not forgetting endless cries of "Marie Cruz!" - as they tried to stretch the premise, and this season is starting off the charts ridiculous.

When you get past the fact that they coincidentally all ended up in the same slammer at the same time, the prison itself is like something out of some futuristic "No Escape" b-movie.

What makes it more dumb is that the prison actually seems fairly tame!

If that was Oz, the new inmates would have been raped, murdered and/or tortured by now! Pretty boy Michael walks around like he's in a waiting room, gets a relatively nice bed with no complaints from other inmates (who assigns rooms in there?) and nobody gives him a second look!

The army (who are terrible shots) deliver them fuel, have two or three widely spaced guard towers and the prisoners can't get past that? Couple of molotov cocktails, a few allies and that escaping prisoner could easily have made it.

That said. I still liked it. :)

Dumb, but entertaining.

It's just like 24. You can't look into it, you just have to take it for what it is. If you can do that, you can enjoy the show. That's the way I look at it.

It is very much more a comic book type show than a serious one. And two things: I'm pretty sure those cannisters were labeled as "water" and as for the army being terrible shots, it is just the Panamanian army.

It's just like 24. You can't look into it, you just have to take it for what it is...

I agree, and I'm hooked again. When it got to the end and they said "stay tuned for scenes from next week" I couldn't believe it was already over. It felt like I'd only been watching for 30 minutes. It went by so fast.
Mondays are gonna be tough: Prison Break on Fox, Heroes on NBC, HIMYM on CBS and the end of the games on MNF? My DVR doesn't have enough tuners!

Marie Cruz, shouldnt she be dead by now :confused::rolleyes:

Sarah and his son are now hostages for Mike to get Whistler out. So now Mike needs to stay in, find this dude and get him out.

and of course NO money.

reminds me of Mr Smith in The Matrix, "Why, why Mr Anderson must you persist" LOL

Marie Cruz, shouldnt she be dead by now :confused::rolleyes:

I'd forgotten about her until I saw next week's preview.

More of Sucre and his only line of dialog. "Marie Cruz! Marie Cruz!"

Here's hoping she's dead. At least then he can move on.

WOW...that's her first name? I never knew that. Honestly, I could never understand what he was saying the last two season. I thought he was saying something like "Monte Cruz" or something. Geez...I feel stupid. It's as simple as "Mary".

My only gripe with the show is that the dialog is very hard to hear...either the bass is too high, or these actors are mumbling like crazy.

We finally gave up and turned on closed captioning. I think the problem was too much background noise for the low voices. They should have caught that in post, looped the dialog if necessary.

Looks like another wild ride. Linc's kid is once again providing the "loved one in jeopardy" subplot. Wonder how they're going to kill off Sara? At least that will motivate Michael to go after The Company once he gets out, take them boys down! Will that be next season's plotline? And I can see a romantic entanglement with the hooker/nun (no doubt with the usual "heart of gold" - are there any other kind?) coming too.

Don't feel stupid. According to the Fox site it's actually "Maricruz." So that's her entire first name. Have we heard a surname yet?

Call me crazy but this season looks like its going to be a blast. Love some good campy fun on a Monday evening.

Yep, that sounds about right! :D

I agree this seems like a great setup for Heroes when it starts up next week.

I also enjoyed the show, but am worried the plotline is spinning out of control into ridiculousness. It's a tough premise to keep going without losing it, but I will be in for the long haul.

However, I thought the PQ was absolutely terrible here on cable in Indianapolis. Anybody else? There was a crazy amount of noise in the dark scenes, i.e. down below with the guy behind the wall. It was like pulsing fuzz all over the screen. Reminded me of the FOX playoff baseball games last year where the close-up cam that zooms in on the pitcher's face was all out of whack.

Every other station/show looked great as usual, so it seemed to be limited to Prison Break.

prison break pq last night looked horrible. Weird because last season the pq of prison break was great. on the other hand, kville pq looked great, too bad the show stunk

Dumbest show in television.

I'm in! :D

I agree about the dialog. During the scene with Mahone and Scofield, I didn't understand much of what they were mumbling.

This seems to be fairly standard for the network dramas. The program sound is at a low level causing you to increase the volume on your set. Then the commercials come on and blast you away. It is very difficult, however, to understand the dialog unless you do increase the volume level. Very annoying.

More bad news for our boys, this time on the ratings front. Fast overnights were 4.9/8. That means PB bled away about a quarter of their viewers from the premiere last season. Inexplicably, K-ville which immediately followed on FOX picked up all of those viewers plus a few more to score a 6.2/9. And the scuttlebutt is it will quickly get canceled. So, what does that say about Mike, Linc, and the boys? :eek:

Of course, since it premiered about a week early relative to the rest of the new fall schedule, maybe a lot of fans didn't know it was even on yet. Trying to be optimistic here....

I thought it was going to start next week for some reason and I missed the firet 15 minutes of it.....I'm sure they will run an encore episode of it next week like they always do.


I could have gone without seeing Bellick limping around in his underwear for the entire episode.

I agree that the dialog was very hard to hear and I had to rewind 2 or 3 times just to hear what was said on some scenes.

They do seem to find a way to make the show move on and keep you wondering what will happen next week.

I do have a question though....are there any guards(besides the ones in the towers) in the prison or does it kindof run itself?

Although the coincidence of him being in Panama and the government's interests being in the same location was a bit hard to swallow.


Didn't T-Bag explain that when he told Michael about how the 'bad guys' had him lure Michael to Panama?

Yeah, picture quality was rather bad, especially in the dark scenes. I have the final from last year and there is quite a difference. Maybe they are going for a different look but I don't like it, compared to the picture quality of last year. But it does kind of remind me of the way 24 looks.

house usually looks good on foxhd, if I remember correctly

Didn't T-Bag explain that when he told Michael about how the 'bad guys' had him lure Michael to Panama?

Michael's escape plan from day 1 involved getting the $5 mill and moving to Panama -- The SONA thing was not there from day one...the writers made that one up so they could get another season out of the show.

Prison Break uses that grainy look in some scenes for some reason. I don't think it's bad PQ, I think it's done on purpose.

i thought t-bag was just sent to panama to lure scofield into the city so supercop could capture him.

i think the way it worked out was once they found out scofield was heading to panama, they decided to use him to get this guy out of jail, not that this was planned from day 1.

Sarah Wayne Callies is not coming back for season 3....unfortunately.

I thought she was much more than your "usual pretty face" and am very disappointed she won't be back. Perhaps somebody will be good enough to post why she won't return when the reason becomes known.

I think she got herself knocked up, not to put too fine a point on it.

She did that all by herself? Whoa...:p

Will there be a reply of the season premiere? I missed it!

The guards all pulled out about a year earlier, all they do now is keep a perimeter.

She did that all by herself? Whoa...:p

One might speculate she had help, and that he wasn't a fan of the show. :D

I'll bet Michael is the father. No wonder he wants to get out so bad.... :)

Michael and Sara have not had sex on the show yet, so the actress being pregnant would be a huge problem for the writers to explain. This isn't Kate & Allie, where they can dress her in frumpy clothes and have her stand behind a couch for the entire season. :)

Robert Wisdom who played the prison top dog was a much nicer guy playing Maj. Howard 'Bunny' Colvin on The Wire.

I completely agree about the PQ. That noisiness had me pausing scenes and verifying settings on my tv and cable box and also had me re-seating cables and rebooted the SA8300HD box. Alas it did not go away but every other HD channel looked fine. I had to re-watch the episode again once I ruled out everything. Stupid FOX...

There were some grainy scenes but I've seen much much worse. I take it you never watched the last two seasons of Alias in HD. :)

I thought she was much more than your "usual pretty face" and am very disappointed she won't be back. Perhaps somebody will be good enough to post why she won't return when the reason becomes known.

I agree I will miss her that really is to bad she added that someting to the show whatever that something is.

I agree I will miss her that really is to bad she added that someting to the show whatever that something is.

the creators have said that she will still be in this season for a big part of it, even though the actress won't be coming back. How they are planning to do that is going to be interesting.

Double in a Burger King-style rubber mask? CGI? Only visible on monitors that use old footage? Always appearing with a bag on her head talking in a muffled voice?

I'm thinking they are going to give her plastic surgery in some fantasticly bizarre twist. Then she can be covered in bandages for many episodes and reappear as someone else.

I agree I will miss her that really is to bad she added that someting to the show whatever that something is.

I'm glad she is gone !! I never liked Sara on the series nor did I think SWC was a convincing actress . I never thought Michael/Sara had any chemistry either and their scenes seemed awkward and forced.:rolleyes:

Call me crazy but this season looks like its going to be a blast. Love some good campy fun on a Monday evening.


I agree. I think Prison Break is going to kick some major butt . I had reservations about the SONA plot but really enjoyed the premiere episode .
The new characters I am the most interested finding out about are Susan who is supposed to get thisclose to Linc and Whistler.
:cool:

Next week we get to see "her" back (actually a body double). They'll kill her off to extra-motivate Michael.

I wasn't thrilled at all with season 2. Thought it was lame. But season 3 gives them a chance to get back to what made season 1 great.

Right! The actual "Prison Break"...that's what I liked!

The premiere was kind of convoluted and ugly but now we know WHY Michael and the others ended up there, by no accident. And so the prison break begins...

:D

Unfortunately Michael does not have the blueprints to this hell hole tattooed all over his body :rolleyes:

It's just like 24. You can't look into it, you just have to take it for what it is. If you can do that, you can enjoy the show. That's the way I look at it.

Aw come on! 24 is totally realistic! :D

I love when the two shows are back to back.

Unfortunately Michael does not have the blueprints to this hell hole tattooed all over his body :rolleyes:

Aha! I know what's going to happen now!

Linc is going to come up with a new escape plan, have it tattooed on his body an then get thrown into the new prison!

I love when the two shows are back to back.
Back to back? Is that when they show up on the DVR list right after each other? :p

Aha! I know what's going to happen now!

Linc is going to come up with a new escape plan, have it tattooed on his body an then get thrown into the new prison!

lol...

PB and 24 are about the only shows I watch "live"...:confused: :)

I agree I will miss her that really is to bad she added that someting to the show whatever that something is.

I liked her. She did add something...and I do think they had chemistry...

Aha! I know what's going to happen now!

Linc is going to come up with a new escape plan, have it tattooed on his body an then get thrown into the new prison!

Yeah, but unfortunately it would take months, if not years to get that much tattooing done. I think they only have a week!!!:p

Marie Cruz, shouldnt she be dead by now :confused::rolleyes:



I think Maricruz is probably just off somewhere remote...I think she'll survive but they may be done with that story line...

I wonder how T-Bag is going to play in all this...He is already working his malignant charm :rolleyes:

I wish we had more smileys. :(

:D

Yeah, but unfortunately it would take months, if not years to get that much tattooing done. I think they only have a week!!!:p

I think their "week" is going to take about three months...good for us :D

How long did it take Michael to get all his ink done? I'm thinking it was only about a month.... Linc's tougher; it'll only take him a week. :D

I'm glad she is gone !! I never liked Sara on the series nor did I think SWC was a convincing actress . I never thought Michael/Sara had any chemistry either and their scenes seemed awkward and forced.:rolleyes:
Agreed. Her "poor me" attitude was becoming annoying. I thought there had been some chemistry between her and Michael, but it certainly didn't make the screen sizzle. ;)

How long did it take Michael to get all his ink done? I'm thinking it was only about a month.... Linc's tougher; it'll only take him a week. :D

The guards and cons look so dumb in that Prison, Linc could just draw a big map on his back in permanent marker with an X for xscape route and they probably wouldn't notice.

Interesting start so far but like others have said I wonder how long this "week" will last.

The guards and cons look so dumb in that Prison, Linc could just draw a big map on his back in permanent marker with an X for xscape route and they probably wouldn't notice.

lol...true.

More of Sucre and his only line of dialog. "Marie Cruz! Marie Cruz!"

Here's hoping she's dead. At least then he can move on.

That's not true. Every once in a while, he sprinkles in "...Papi!" when talking to Michael. Maybe he just arrived on the PB set after completion of shooting "Benchwarmers 2."

BTW, I love that they brought into the cast that juicy "school's hottest chick" from the movie "She's All That." Her eyes are just killer!:D

Wasn't the guy who plays Sucre in Mr. 3000 as well?

I like the setup of the new season...its somewhat fresh and not repetitive which it definitely could have been...I'll keep watching

I enjoyed it. Interesting plot, better then watching the other things it is up against (except maybe Chuck).

The first season was brilliant imo...but I still like it and it is much better than most other shows out there...

I like the setup of the new season...its somewhat fresh and not repetitive which it definitely could have been...I'll keep watching

Yeah the breakout out of "The Hellhole" should be interesting. Note that they made sure to show that while the guards don't run things inside that they are more than ready to shoot and kill anyone caught going outside...

ps...um I think the "chicken" was rat


:confused::eek:


Not too many El Pollo Loco hens running around there I don't think...

Thank the heavens that somebody finally gave Bellick some clothes to wear!

My wife and I were both puzzled at how Michael solved the water issue. How did he know there was a blockage and how did he know where it was and how did he know the booze-bag would float there? I know there's a suspension of disbelief required for this show, but that scene was murky even for PB!

No more Mericruse! YEA!! Now, if they can just kill off Sucre......

The good thing about PB is that you don't need to watch the entire show to know what's going on. Most of the time I only watch 20-30 mins of the 42 or so, and I still can know what's happening.
One of the most funny parts last nights was the girl calling dumb several times to Scofield's brother.

well, there was a pipe, and something leaking from it, and er, Michael deduced from the type of drips in that general area it was water being blocked off and a combination of alcohol and some other crap like methane gas from the rotting garbage in the pipe would create a small scale explosion with enough force to free the blockage.

Yes that works. It's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I spent most of the show trying to remember why they had no water to begin with. I must have missed that explanation because I thought the guards cut off the water supply during the riot.

And I've been impressed with the guy who plays Bellick these past two weeks. Not only did he have to run around in his underwear but I liked his performance. Especially facing off against Sucre.

Same here, a definite WTF moment, a real PB discard all reality moment. Plus, how long will it be before the guards just shut the main off? And, "Bunny Colvin" figures out it was Michael that got the water running because he comes out from behind a wall holding a bucket?

These sorts of "miracles" hurt the show IMO, but it's still fun to watch.

I spent most of the show trying to remember why they had no water to begin with. I must have missed that explanation because I thought the guards cut off the water supply during the riot.


I think the explanation was that the water system was damaged in the riot where the guards decided to withdraw. Now, how Michael went from there (was he even told about how the water problem came to be?) to how to fix it got a little lost in translation, although I like your explanation as well as any. :)

Hey, that's actually a pretty good strategy. That way, when you say "how the heck did they do/know that?" (like Michael's "water solution")...you can chalk it up to a part you missed. :D

When Michael was down in the "dungeon" area, he kept reaching up to hold onto the pipe as he tried to walk throught the muck. Each time to grabbed the pipe he did a double take. Maybe the pipe was cooler to the touch, or maybe their was condensation. But, as an engineer, he recognized something which made him recognize that their was water in that line.
That's my guess, and I'm sticking to it. ;-)

I think the answer is clear. Michael is a super genius structural engineer and the rest of us are just too dumb to know what he knows or how he knows what he knows even when it doesn't look like there is anything to know.

Michael is the best plumber ever. The ones I've hired have never fixed anything with explosives.

next time your toilet is blocked ...

:D:D

I think Michael has a special relationship with water, if you watch the scene where he gets his ration of water, look at how much is in the glass, then a few moments later the glass is "miraculously" over twice as full as he doles it out to Bellick for information. :eek::p

You're correct about the amount of water given to Michael versus how much he ended up with. I was so thirsty myself by that point that my eyeballs precisely calibrated the amount of water actually doled out to him.

Back to the subject of sound levels. During the preview of next week, I could only make out about 25% of what was said. The sound level is so up with commercials and down with program, I sit with the remote and make constant adjustments. It's not only the up and down due to commercials, it's just plain difficult to make out what is being said on this program. I really like the show. but I would like to just sit and relax and hear clearly what people say.

Anyway, I still think Prison Break is a damn entertaining program.

I found that the best way to understand the speaking is to watch it without any surround processing. Just straight stereo.

The explosions don't have the same effect, but at least the voices are at the same level as everything else.

Another good episode...I love how fast Prison Break movies...it flows so well...its one of its strongest features...

Thank the heavens that somebody finally gave Bellick some clothes to wear!


I KNOW!!! I cannot stand to see him walking all sideways and naked all hunched over like Kwazimoto! lol.
:eek:

Maybe the pipe was cooler to the touch, or maybe their was condensation. But, as an engineer, he recognized something which made him recognize that their was water in that line.
That's my guess, and I'm sticking to it. ;-)

That is how I saw it as well, never questioned the how did he know either.

The funny thing about this show is, after 2 seasons, we just sort of gloss over huge plot holes that we'd be screaming about on any other show. If you're a fan of 'Prison Break', you just roll with it and realize it's all about the journey, 'cause there's really no destination. :D

Yeah Arch, it's funny how we all give this show a free pass...

It's kind of like that charming buddy that you have that has all sorts of character flaws...you still like hanging out with the guy despite it all. :D

I'm just wondering how long they'll be able to keep up this second break out. "Susan" keeps Linc on task and keeps saying they have a week and obviously somehow that will get extended but for how long?

I didn't have any problems with Michael figuring out the pipes. The only issue I had was at the end. Whistler was so down, gagging, beat up, and looked like he was dying. Cut back after the water is flowing, he is drinking and standing there and looks like a whole new person. It must be miracle water or something.

I assumed that Whistler was badly dehydrated...but yes, that's another inconsistancy.

As for myself, I kept using my Blade voice when they mentioned "Whistler."

Aw, c'mon now GG - you're not getting all sentimental over the guy now, are you ;)?


Heck no..his appearance was sort of making me sick lol...I can't stand him!

:D

Yeah Bellick is pretty despicable...I'm still shocked that he tried to use the "friend" card with Michael? Hello? Were we to expect to forget all the things he did the last two seasons?

T-bag is still a sniveling and conniving jack-azz though. Gotta love him. :D

Why is the head prison bad guy even allowing T-Bag to be around him? Just cause he sucks up to him? Why doesn't Michael just casually mention to him that T-Bag is a child molestor and child killer--fellow prisoners never look kindly on that, I don't care what country you're in.

Michael may yet play that card. But for now, we get T-Bag being his typical loathsome, manipulating self, and that's just fine with me. What a great character! :p

True, but season two was difficult. You had to overlook the plot holes and much of the journey was also ridiculous.

I see lots of promise with season 3 though. It's like a season 1 remix.

And I've been impressed with the guy who plays Bellick these past two weeks. Not only did he have to run around in his underwear but I liked his performance. Especially facing off against Sucre.
Yeah, great job. It's gotta suck for his character to go from Top Dog at Fox River to what he is an "untouchable" at Sona. He was so pitiful at the fence with Sucre, crying "Call my Mom!" Probably fun for the actor, though. Now that he has clothes, I mean.
Another good episode...I love how fast Prison Break movies...it flows so well...its one of its strongest features...
I agree. I'm always surprised when it's over, like "it's over already? Dang!"

I wonder if the money is really gone...Linc brought it up already this season.

Patience young grasshopper - that's a matter for Season 4. :)

Me too...and very few shows do that to me...as improbable as this one is, I like and enjoy it and root for "the boys."

S1 was the bomb...I loved it with all the plotting and planning and scheming and conniving and lying and stealing to get out :D That's why I'm excited for this season because we are going to get back to "the Break".....

I can't sleep. :rolleyes:

like getting from utah to chicago in like 15 minutes or something like that?

season 2 was quite terrible. season 3 is looking up though. i really hope they don't make the same mistake 24 did, and keep dragging it out, when it's beyond its prime.

Wow. The fact that tonight's episode has aired and nobody has posted may indicate how cheesy this season is.:rolleyes:

I'm watching, but I ain't likin' what I'm seein'.:rolleyes:

Really stupid. Why did they have to start from scratch? There was SO much more that should be resolved. Just starting over is just jumping the shark.:rolleyes:

I'm contemplating dropping Prison Break from my DVR schedule...but I don't know if I can considering its history.:D

Wow. The fact that tonight's episode has aired and nobody has posted may indicate how cheesy this season is.:rolleyes:


No kidding. "What's your name?" "Pistachio." Thought I would friggin' die! This show has officially become its own "Saturday Night Live" skit. :eek: :D

I personally am loving this season, I like it way better then season 2 and am totally into the story. I like seeing Michael struggling to try and figure something out instead of always having the answers and the whole thing planned.

Any bets on what is in the box?

Hopefully a good script.

My guess is Sara's head.

My guess is Sara's head.

Which will be miraculously re-attached in an upcoming episode. :rolleyes::D

My guess is Sara's head.

That would be too obvious.

Did you guys see the different photos of Sara. One had her hair over her face, and the other had her face unobstructed. They must've switched back and forth between the two half a dozen times.

I noticed that too...I'm not sure what to make of this season yet...

Although I'm not 'loving' it, I'm not 'loathing' it like I did Season 2. I stuck through Season 2 for some crazy reason. This season, although not that great, is leaps and bounds above Season 2 IMO. If I stayed with Season 2 through that crap, I will do my best to stay for the remainder of Season 3.

Whistler looks really good to have lived off Rat for a long time in the sewers. His hair didn't grow much either, unless he used rat teeth to cut it. So yes, obviously a silly season, but so was Season 2.

This may have been brought up before (haven't read or searched the thread) but have any of you noticed how many women love this show? I started watching it the first season so did my wife and enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as her. Then second season came around and I lost interest as I thought it was horrible but the wife was still intriqued/hooked as were many other women that she got to watch the show and still do.

Even the local morning show, when they announce the new season premieres/episodes the girl is always telling the other 'lady listeners' not to forget to watch prison break. :confused: Just surprised at how much this appeals to women other than the fact that they may find some of the lead characters attractive (wife LOVES wentworth).

They watch the show because of Wentworth.

My wife loves him too.

Noticed that. They must have been 5 lb. sewer rats.

All I could think of was "Oh what's in the box, what's in the box?"

:D

Not only women but there are entire sites for men about the homoerotic nature of PB. "Big 'ole sweaty men in jail!":rolleyes:

Yes, that was incredibly annoying. Really bad editing job.

Just surprised at how much this appeals to women other than the fact that they may find some of the lead characters attractive (wife LOVES wentworth).Don't see why anyone should be surprised, when you consider all of the male/female relationship drama constantly going on.

Chalk me up as another whose wife loves Wentworth too...

I slow-mo'ed the scene with the box several times and it looked like it could be a woman's cheekbone and nose that we're seeing but it's not easy to see.

Was the woman in the picture actually the actress that plays Sarah? I figured they had a "look alike" since Sarah hadn't signed on for this season.

I figured it was a look-alike. But it looked a lot like her.

OMG, how convenient to have a 110v wall outlet in prision, for your charger. :eek:

OMG, how convenient to have a 110v wall outlet in prision, for your charger. :eek:
His "office" clearly isn't a cell. Do you think that prisons just have a complete lack of electrical outlets?

OMG, how convenient to have a 110v wall outlet in prision, for your charger. :eek:

Remember there use to be guards, etc. it was a full blown prison. Now the guards have all pulled out. What he is using as his "cell" might be the office of the prison guards. There are other convienences in there that makes it look like it was some kind of office. Obviously the prison had full power and water since guards worked there.

I figured it was a look-alike. But it looked a lot like her.

I actually read that she had a baby and that she will be back down the road.

Any bets on what is in the box?

The head of Maricruz.

They need some reason for Sucre to do something and if he isn't chasing after her he'll have no reason to whine and shout her name

I actually read that she had a baby and that she will be back down the road.

There was a recent article (last week I think) that said the show acknowledged that she would not be back at all this season that she was definitely not returning.

The head of Maricruz.

They need some reason for Sucre to do something and if he isn't chasing after her he'll have no reason to whine and shout her name

He'll NEVER stop shouting her name if her head is in that box lol!! "Maricruz! Maricruz!" :eek: But it would fire him up if her head is in there...he'll want revenge...and he IS conveniently passed out on Linc's couch...hummm....:confused:

I thought this week's episode was really good! :D

His "office" clearly isn't a cell. Do you think that prisons just have a complete lack of electrical outlets?

Prisons DO have electricity....:D Michael made a little hasty error in not hanging that phone up properly...but he didn't have alot of time.

Oh yeah: Michael is cute! :D I watch it for the plot really but that is a nice fringe benefit...I am referring to the posts about why we girls like PB...

Me, I like Action stuff...not girlie stuff. :D

plus she is also a character that we know, but don't really care about seeing. So they could kill her off for dramatic impact and she wouldn't be missed.

Or it's a wig, and they are going to force Linc to wear it.

Up to this point I would have said Bellick's pants....

I do agree. The shows fast paced movement is really great, and is a huge plus.

That's probably intentional on their part, as it prevents you from being able to pause long enough to realize the complete, utter lack of logic in every scene.

Tomorrow we find out what is in the box! :confused: :D

Hey guys - I wasn't knockin' it. I watch it too every week. You must know I enjoy the show from my other posts here. Well, maybe not. But would I even participate for this long in this thread if I didn't?

I like the fact that it doesn't try to pretend that it's realistic and it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's like a comic book or a cheap detective novel - and I love that about it.

I can't stand shows that try to seriously act or appear like real life, but are actually nothing like it - like the primetime, network cop dramas.

But would I even participate for this long in this thread if I didn't?
In the 24 thread, there are people who will post every week just to complain about how terrible the episode was. So I can never assume that someone likes the show just because they're posting in the thread.

I like 24 too :D

I say if you're looking for realism watch the nightly news! :confused:

I guess we'll find out what's "in the box" pretty soon...(east coasters already did) and I bet it isn't candy. :D

Good point.. I think that's one of the reasons while it is still on the air, and in its 3rd season.

Best episode of the season in my opinion. This is more like the first season. I really enjoyed it. I only wish Linc would go all postal on that lady. If she was standing there next to me, and even is she had a gun tucked away somewhere, and I just found out you cut off a friend's head, my brother's girlfriend, he could deck her, jump on her and beat the crap out of her in a heartbeat. Oh well.

Not while she still has his son......

I would beat her to death, no one would ever find her body or be able to recognize it again. But then I guess he does need her to get his son back. Bummer, I might still smash her face in. She wouldn't kill the son until they are done, and if they cut something off, bam, another beating.

Wow, I think this could be the last season for PB, if it lasts that long. The ratings had PB down in fourth in households (third in total viewers) behind ABC's Dancing with the Stars, the two half-hour CBS sitcoms, and NBC's Chuck.

If the network does can it, hopefully they will let the producers wrap up the story line.

In the 24 thread, there are people who will post every week just to complain about how terrible the episode was.

I don't complain. I post to make fun of the episodes.

So Michael couldn't find any other non-conductive object in the prison to cut off the juice except something that appeared to be metal but wasn't real gold so it won't conduct electricity? I guess all that stuff I learned about electricity in the second grade was just wrong. :confused:

I was wondering the same thing. :p

This show is certainly fun to watch, but some of the stuff they come up with is just ridiculous. Also, even Bellick has noticed that this season is becoming a re-run of Season 1. :D

I just finished watching last night's episode. For the first time since the first half of season one concluded, I found myself hooked again. The second half of season one and nearly all of season two kept my attention primarily as a guilty pleasure and also for the fact that I'm notorious for watching every episode of a show I see from the beginning, no matter how much I may end up hating it. I like the scenario Michael has been put in.... he's not got this all figured out with a main plan and ten backup plans, nor is he having to completely improvise like he did during season two. Its a combination of the two, and I think it will be interesting to see what happens.

I think the **** in a box (pun intended) was a real shocker, and I"m glad the writers didn't find some lame way to write out that character. Also, seeing Sucre get involved in the plot was a relief from his Ophelia-like rants about Maricruz we've had to put up with so far. I realize the pace and quality of this episode probably won't last for the whole season, but it is good to see the writers push the bar a little higher.

By the way, was I the only one that felt like I was watching Se7en again with the whole Lincoln and the box scene? I think he might have received some acting coaching from Morgan Freeman on how to make a face that says, "What the ****?!? That's a **** in a box?!?"

Another kind of silly episode, but still oddly addicting. It's gotta be the characters and the over-the-top acting and situations. Some of the characters are just so despicable (T-bag & Bellick come to mind first, but also Mahoney now) that you want to know what they'll do next. Plus, there's some nice eye-candy going on too, with the 2 hot latinas that have been added this season.

I did just about flip my lid when the brunette lady had the nerve to ask Linc, "How ya holding up?" Sheesh. I think they are definitely paving the way for some romance from those two at some point.

I must say, T-Bag is probably the most believable character in the entire show. Whoever that actor is...he's amazing because he makes my gut wrench with hate for him. That thing he does with his tough while he snares...man, makes my wife cringe every time. That's solid acting!

According to fox.com the next episode of Prison Break will air 10/22/07.

So we're skipping a week? Is Baseball on Fox?

So we're skipping a week? Is Baseball on Fox?

The NLCS is next week on FOX. The following week the WS starts on Wed so will get PB and House that week.

It's the ALCS that's on Fox, plus if the World Series goes to 5 games the 10/29 Prison break episode will also be preempted. To be safe Fox will probably not even plan a new episode to be shown anyway.

Whoops, well I had a 50% chance of getting it right. :D

The only reason I know that is because I'm a yankee fan.

Haven't participated in this thread for awhile because we got 2 eps behind due to all the other stuff on the box right now; got caught up last night. But all I can say is..... looks like another prison break is now percolating in Michael's mind. Whoopee! Now we're talkin'.....

My wife and I were commenting on how this show, above all others on TV, most resembles the old movie serials of the past. When it's firing on all cylinders, each act ends in some sort of cliffhanger where it looks like Mike or Linc or one of the other characters is toast, and then you come back from the commercial break to see how they escape this time.... More thrills per minute than anything else. How they manage to keep all those balls in the air is truly amazing. Of course there are wild deviations from logic and reality, but who cares? It's 'Prison Break', the TV equivalent of a roller coaster. You want logic, plausibility and a realistic connection to the real world? Watch 'Deal or no Deal' or 'CSI' - uh, wait a minute.... :D

And as for Sarah Wayne Callies, that'll teach her to get herself knocked-up without the producer's blessing - your head ends up in a box. Yikes! :eek: (We noticed the "incredible changing hairstyle/actress" photos as well. What a scream! :p )

I don't think this will be good for the show:

"Prison Break" Returns in April
In the update to an earlier story, FOX has confirmed "Prison Break" will go on hiatus on December 17 and return April 14.

"Sarah Connor Chronicles" will take over "Prison Break's" timeslot on January 14. The freshman drama inspired by Terminator movies will have 13 episodes and air through April 7.

"Prison Break" will then return April 14 and run the remaining episodes until early June (before "24"). A total of 12 or 13 episodes will have aired until mid December.

Wow, a 4 month mid-season hiatus is an eternity...

Still sucks though, especially this season, its already loosing viewers. Didn't the networks learn from last season that these long breaks are not good.

Nah, just send them Robert Knepper in his Tea Bag role.... :)

Things to send if the show get's canned:

- Shell casings from high powered rifles
- Stubble from your beard trimmer
- Sewer water

- Soap on a Rope

When doesn't an episode keep you wanting more? They're very good with the cliff hangers.

Yep, and still one of the two best shows on network TV. They've defined a definite ending date with 3 more seasons of 16 episodes each. That means they can plot a non-stop thrill ride to the finish with no "filler" eps. The 4th season will begin in February and run straight thru. If you've stopped watching, it's your loss Cutie; the season finale last May was fantastic!

I thought last night's episode was pretty good (relatively speaking). I'm liking this season much more than last Season.

So, we find out Whistler is probably more than a fisherman who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Wonder which Ambassador he was with, according to the NEW prisoner.

I equally love/hate how they set up a possible escape scenario for our guys and then YANKED it out from under their feet.

And, I was absolutely certain they would find a gun on the henchman that Sucre smuggled in...absolving Michael and Whistler during that prison-yard interrogation scene.

This is a classic cliffhanger serial show...fun stuff...

But why why why couldn't the super hot latina helping Linc not show just a little more skin during that beach scene???

Any guesses as to what's in the buried Igloo cooler?

A blow up raft. :D

That's what I was thinking too. But do they have a blow-up outboard motor in there too? Or, at least a blow-up paddle? :)

Maybe it's the head of Sarah Tancredi and they'll use it to hold up and defend against the Kraaken.

He couldn't find a cooler big enough for all that, he had to improvise. Seriously, I don't even think there was much of a hint of what it could be. He did mention opening a Diving company. Maybe he put in small diving canisters (the ones you hold) so they can jump in the water, and use those to breathe for an hour or so until the coast is clear (no pun intended).

Or maybe, it's a notebook that says "Michael's Escape Plan G"

Good speculation.

He also asked the dive guy how far out international waters were...to which the guy replied "5 miles" (I think - it may have been 15 miles).

So maybe he'll get somebody to put a boat out at the international water limit, and use the mini-oxygen tanks to swim out to that point.

Sounds far fetched...but perfectly suitable for this show. :)

If you want to know what is in the cooler, go read the recap on www.fox.com. I always read the recaps each week and pick up info I missed during the show. Like the guy paying off Sucre to make the deliveries in the prison is actually Lechero's cousin? I had missed that.

Can you post a "Spoiler" entry on what is in the cooler?

According to the recap:

It's 4 mini scuba containers...one for Linc, Michael, Sofia, and Whistler.

And International Waters are apparently "12 miles" off coast.

The recap was good to read for other stuff that I missed. Here's a link:

It seems weird that they would put something in the Fox website recap that wasn't even on the show. I'm positive that Lincoln never showed what was in the cooler. Strange...

Yep, and still one of the two best shows on network TV. They've defined a definite ending date with 3 more seasons of 16 episodes each. That means they can plot a non-stop thrill ride to the finish with no "filler" eps. The 4th season will begin in February and run straight thru. If you've stopped watching, it's your loss Cutie; the season finale last May was fantastic!

Highly suggest to Cutie to catch up with LOST via the DVDs from where you jumped ship. The S3 finale (actually, the last few S3 eps) were some of the best of the entire series. S3 drops on DVD this winter.

With a definite endpoint on the horizon, the next 3 shortened seasons should be a major roller coaster ride.....with ANSWERS!!

Sorry to take up PB forum space for this...but when I see someone who "gave up" on LOST prior to the end of S3....well...they are truly missing out on some compelling TV.

So if they escape next week (Doubtful, though I don't know how else the show can continue), what will the rest of the show be? Exposing The Company?

Unless they showed it earlier when he was at the dive shop but I don't think so.

I had issues with the quality last night. The scenes inside the prison with Michael where very noisy/grainy. But when it was Linc outside on the beach/car it was great HD. Anyone else notice that?

Those beach scenes did look good, especially the shot with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in the background.

Maybe it's the head of Sarah Tancredi and they'll use it to hold up and defend against the Kraaken.With this series, anything's possible.

I just hope Harryhausen's free to do it. :)

Same here. PQ was terrible, especially inside the dark prison. Almost looked like i was watching analog TV with static. The ALCS games weren't much better. Hope they clean it up for the world series.

Definetly a network issue, didn't notice blocking on Comcast or OTA.

I just watched Monday's episode and it was a good distraction from these fires...the air here is so bad it is hard to breath and so many people lost their homes...

Another "what is in the box" mystery (cooler)...that guy Whistler is definitely hiding something...that new guy in the prison recognized him and called him another name...

I took a peek at the TV Guide a couple of weeks ahead, and looks like the next Prison Break episode, after the World Series is over, will be a 2-hour episode on Nov. 5, starting at 8PM.

anyone remember who has the dug-up millions?

Last I remember TBag had it at the airport...

All I know is it's not me.... :(

Didn't they throw it out in the lagoon when the cops busted Michael and Linc?

Micheal and Lincoln had it on the boat until Mr. Kim showed up. Lincoln tried to use it to barter their freedom and tossed it in the water. After Sara shot Kim, they didn't have a chance to retrieve the money because the police was coming so they just took off.

The money could be anywhere or maybe the police have it.

yes...

“Here, help me out of this,” Lincoln hands Michael the hook and Michael uses the hook to open the handcuffs. “We did it, Linc,” Michael whispers. “No…you almost did it,” Agent Kim stands over them from the pier, gun trained. The brothers slide back away from him. Lincoln tosses the money to Kim, but Kim has no interest in it and kicks the bag into the water. Kim tells them it isn’t about the money, it’s about the brothers. Lincoln asks Kim to let Michael go, but Kim doesn’t listen. He tells the brothers that you don’t see family loyalty like this anymore, too bad only one will survive. Kim points the gun at Lincoln and a shot rings out. Lincoln stumbles back to see Kim, standing stunned, with a bleeding gun shot wound on the right side of his chest. Kim collapses and falls into the water. Sara stands off to the side, gun pointed towards Kim, shaking. Police cars race up the dirt road to the boat, Lincoln shouts, “We gotta go!” and sprints up the pier. Sara and Michael split off from Lincoln and the cops follow.

that sounds right. They couldn't get to it because the cops turned up and arrested them. Although that doesn't explain why Linc couldn't have gone looking for it later. Unless he did get it back and that's where he's getting all his cash from.

It was last dropped into the water...but they have made several references to it this season I wonder if it is "really" gone...

I must say this episode is pretty good...that kidnapper woman is a bit of a sociopath...:confused:

I could care less about LJ! Sorry! I wish Sara was still alive...the real original Sara...

Sucre has just had the van smash into his car...

Techie question:

Guys, is Vizio any good?

OMG! Duplicity!!!!!

i'm sorry but the show jumped the shark tonight. I was along for the ride this season, but this episode just killed it for me. I normally love the plot twists, but this one felt like they pulled it out of their you know what..

LaDainian Tomlinson would say yes. I, on the other hand, would not agree with him.

That is the straight answer I wanted...where does it rank with the major brands? I tend to like Samsung the best for LCD....



OK, that Whistler guy...I knew he was totally shady...tour guide my...well you know what!

I kinda liked it bc now Michael and Link are in even deeper than they think with Whistler...What's with the "FBI deal"...that seems pretty shady too...

As far as major brands go, they're at or near the bottom. But I'd get a Vizio before I'd get a Westinghouse, for example.

I knew he was shady, but the fact that the killer chick was working for him the whole time caught me totally off-guard.

That’s what I thought, too. They tried to cross two or three bridges too far in this week’s episode. The smell of desperation is in the air.

Fox’s suits are clearly scrambling. I saw a piece on why they decided to kill off the Doctor Sara character. Was it to drive the story? Nah. It was because they did not want to renew the contract of the actress who played Sara, Sarah Wayne Callies, for a full season:

Gotta agree...this season has been fun but for them to suddenly get more time for no reason after all the insistence that they MUST get out before a set date just reeks of unimaginative writing...I'm still on for the ride, unless they take any more privileges with the audience's inteligent

Damn.. I still love this show :D

and judging by the previews for next week, it seems like the US govt should've done that in the first place if they really wanted Whistler out......Using Scofield to break him out was a joke and merely extended the story to a third season.

I read a cached copy (http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:8HqYfON-xC0J:community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Prison-Break-Exclusive/800024014+ausiello+prison+break+sara&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us&client=opera) of it. My take on it was she got verbal assurances that her role was going to continue. The writers said the networks bounced back their original idea and decided to kill her off to further motivate Michael's character and to keep him going. Her contract called for her to be picked up for a full 22 or be renegotiated in its entirety. They only wanted her role for 13 episodes or so, so they decided to renegotiate. They offered her a shortened shooting schedule, flying out to her before she delivered, even doing just her part over the phone. For whatever reason, she ended up refusing the options on the table.

So we ended up with the story line we got. Like Michael said in the last episode, Sara died so the writers would have something for him to do after breaking "Whistler" out -- he's going to hunt down the people behind her death.

I'm still watching but this is starting to get too silly for me....:eek:

This episode almost did it in for me. The almost jail escape was pathetic and a let down. They where out there, they could of made it, the guard never turned. By the time it would of taken them to cliimb back up that rope they would of been across the opening. Made no sense. And the whole Linc part was totally pathetic. He had a gun, shoot the guy in the freaking head. Why did his son fight back, give his father a chance, an opening, something. But now, you've got a gun and you just give up. Whatever. Now Luchero wants in on the escape, SURPRISE! Totally dissapointed in this episode, I truly hope this is the last season. I am a HUGE prison break fan and settle in for the night to watch this, but dang, this epsisode pushed my limits of patience.

Me too, totally. His girlfriend is in the dark and probably in danger too with psycho killer chick around...

There must be a reason for the tight "break Whistler out" time frame...

I agree with you as far as shooting the people when the van crashed into Sucre's car. I think he would have shot the girl as soon as he saw her, I mean why hesitate at all? You know LJ is in the van shoot her and go from there. I'm still gonna watch it no matter how ridiculous it gets.

I also read the article. Keep in mind that Sarah Wayne Callies has been pregnant this entire time. She was pregnant at the end of Season 2, maybe 2 or 3 months into her term, and was still pregnant when Season 3 started shooting. She had given birth recently, and wouldn't be available until episodes 8 or 9.

The writers said they couldn't wait until week 8 or 9 to reintroduce her character. They tried to negotiate with her to shoot some close-ups for some scenes for episodes 3 or 4, and offered to bring the camera crew to her home where she was recuperating from giving birth, but couldn't reach an agreement on how many episodes she would appear in this season.

So they wrote her out of the story rather than try to explain how her character got pregnant.

Yeah me too...shoot first and ask questions later. I'll keep watching...it's not exactly in Linc's character to be "calm". Michael is the level headed one.

Man Bellick is pathetic and gross!

Yeah Bellick is messed up...Is he actually trying to be sincere now? I really can't tell.

Didn't they show him as having a crush on her in the first season. I think I recall he hit on her, asked her out, or something. Sounds familiar.
