Prison Break

[Rossco]

Couldnt find a thread about this and seen a few people mention it in the Lost thread and I've just discovered this genius of a show so thought I'd make a new thread! :)

I believe it's just started recently in the UK and so far have watched the first 5 episodes today! :lol:

It really is rather good, Its all unfolding quite nicely, and sure some of it can be a little predictable or over the top but its a great, entertaining show. And I'm confused how its been given such a large break, was it not that popular in USA? http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/images/smilie/sad.gif

Whats everyone else's thoughts on Prison Break? :)

[shuzo]

I've only seen the first episode and think I'll probably stick to watching it on channel 5 but I found it entertaining if nothing else. It does make you want to see what happens next and the cast isn't bad, I just hope it doesn't go too over the top as it continues.

[DavidH]

I've seen all 13 episodes aired in the States so far and it's very good, action every episode, fooking 4 month plus mid-season break takes the pee (and there are only three episodes of season one left) - it was was shown in (the absent) 24's Monday at 9pm slot, one of the reasons for such a long break I believe, but come March it will shown straight after 24 :)

Oh and like Five's advertising of the program, well done to them.

Sleeper Cell is another USA Action Drama to keep and eye open for ;)

[Mad Gear]

Whens it on 5?

[PeteJ]

Sleeper Cell is another USA Action Drama to keep and eye open for ;)Aye, I've seen four episodes on your recommendation and it is pretty good. Getting better, too.

[MartyG]

Whens it on 5?
According to the listings, 22:00 - 23:00 on Mondays and repeated 23:00 - 00:00 on a Tuesday.

The listings seem a bit over the place though, as Ep1, 2 and 3 are being shown back to back on Friday 10th February 21.00 - 00.00.

[Mad Gear]

Cheers Marty shall set teh video for the 3 eps.

[ascender]

I hope they don't try and string it out if the story's not up to it. I'd rather see a show that had one season which blew me away rather than trying to flog a dead horse over 2/3 years. The first episode had me gripped though.

[DavidH]

It is only on for one season, unless you've heard differently recently.

[ucci]

Charlie Brooker the miserable sod wrote about it in last weeks the guide.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguide/columnists/story/0,,1691124,00.html

Hilarious article! Woke the intrigue receptors in my celebral body. The box of piss quote made me laugh out loud.

[Zanza]

From what I heard its only a 16 episode series. Although the tv guide had the first episode on five listed as number 1 of 23, but I assume that is just an error on their part.

lol that artical ^ is funny as hell, especialy when he starts refering to the main character as Justin Timberlake.

[Rossco]

Oh dear god, that article is pathetic. I really can't stand this whole 'love to hate' thing people do nowadays where its cool to say something good is crap just to get attention and seem different. But its not different, everyones doing it. Sad sad people! :lol:

I do hope that its only a 1 series thing and thats it over, please dont drag it out with stupid plot extensions and new characters or whatever they would do. Keep it short and sweet and we'll remember it for being a great new, different, entertaining show. :)

Rock on Justin Timberlake! :p

[Rossco]

OH MY GOD!!

I cant believe they took like a 4 month break on that cliffhanger!!!! :o

As soon as the episode ended, I just shouted "Oh come onnnnnn!!!!!" in pure anger and frustration!! :lol:

Great episode though, didnt see it coming at the end! :) Cant wait to see how it all finishes now, 16 episodes sounds perfect, 3 more to wrap it all up, should be interesting. I hope they show it before March though, thats just too long. I have no idea how they left such a long break with this, its a fantastic show. :D

[ascender]

Totally agree, one series and that should be it.

I'm now up to Edpisode 8 and it just keeps getting better. This is the best series I've seen in ages, Lost just pales by comparison.

The only downside and it really is a minor thing is that its a bit hard to believe how they are getting away with bumping off every witness, investigator and person even vaguely linked to the trial.

Can't wait to get through the next 5 episodes and then the finale ones. I wonder when the DVD set will be out to buy.

[ascender]

Up to episode 11 and holy moly! Its only bloody Holly Valance!. Never saw that coming.

Was also trying to figure out where I'd seen Veronica Donovan from, but then I realised she was in Vertical Limit, that incredibly cheesey but strangely enjoyable climbing film from a few years ago.

[MartyG]

Channel 5 is showing the first three episode right now, ep 1 has just started. So if you're interested in watching it, now's the time to tune in the fuzzy channel.

[ucci]

Oh dear god, that article is pathetic. I really can't stand this whole 'love to hate' thing people do nowadays where its cool to say something good is crap just to get attention and seem different. But its not different, everyones doing it. Sad sad people! :lol:


He actually tells you that he likes the show! Not trying to defend the man but he makes me laugh.

[PeteJ]

Have just seen up to episode 7, this is getting really good. Quite surprised.

Not up there with The Shield, but still very very good. Episode six was superb.

[dc-arena]

It's been off in America for months now, but Season 1 continues at the end of March. Ep 14 on 20 March :) And yes its 16 in total.

[Concept]

I saw the first episode of this a while back. The acting was dire... I mean I wasn't expecting anything overwhelming, but at least the likes of 24 and Lost pull off their insanity with a degree of believeable characterisation (even if it is nuts). Prison Break was just over-acted/poorly acted tosh back from what I saw. Maybe it gets better though in this department. Does it?

[PeteJ]

Yeah the first episode is iffy, but it does improve.

[charlie5]

This show is awesome. Totally into it.

Only caught it last week (ep 6) so i've had to scamper around and get recorded tapes/DVDs but i'm now up to date with channel 5, and will probably go ahead of that because i'm so hooked.

Not a single complaint so far. As someone else said, Lost pales in comparison, and that was a show (whilst it was on) that I loved.

I thought Lost was kinda OK for 50 minutes and then gripping for the last 10. Prison Break grips me for 99% of the show, with only an off moment here and there where it loses me.

[HaHaUK]

Just started watching S1 on Sunday, and find it pretty good, but not as good as Lost. And I agree with Concept, the acting is so shit, especially the Donavon lawyer.

Dr Sara is one hot piece of kit. :D

[charlie5]

I must be watching different shows.

Prison Break's acting is shit, and LOST of all things is superior? http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/images/smilie/wtf.gif

The only thing that kept me into Lost was the riddles and suspense... no one in that thing can act; not the doc, not the kids, not the chinks.... the only one i'd give a little credit to is Locke.

Different strokes, I guess.

[Mr_Skinny]

I think it's pretty good and i've enjoyed watching it thus far, although it can be rather predictable and unbelievable at times.

Maybe I would enjoy it more if I hadn't been spoiled by the sheer awesomeness of The Shield. :wub:

Oh, and for those who think the acting is poor, I suggest you watch the recent Neighbours plane crash scene to gain some perspective. :ph34r:

[DavidH]

The acting is poor and the script far-fetched but it's still entertaining at the end of the day, and you know each episode is going to be decent/have some action, unlike some other shows, cough, Lost, cough, Invasion.

Looking forward to the final three episodes.

[Zanza]

I just love the gritty prison drama aspect of it. I think its about time they revived Oz or at least made something like it. Since Oz finished I've only been able to get my weekly fix of evil and violence from The Shield.

[djjimbob]

I've got the entire series on my PC and while it started well and had a few good episodes it really started to drag towards the end.

Ep 13 is sitting on my PC and I just CBA to watch it as the preceeding episodes were full of unbelievable crap. The writers were really dragging it.

A mini-series at best. The fact they are doing a Season 2.... :wtf:

[DavidH]

Where did you read about a second season ??

[Yoshimax]

I've got the entire series on my PC and while it started well and had a few good episodes it really started to drag towards the end.

I'd love to hear how you managed that as I can't source 14 onwards anywhere.

[Locky]

Where did you read about a second season ?? It was mentioned by the actors in the 'Prison Break: Behind the Walls' special that was shown on Channel 5 on the 6th March.

Also, according to answers.com (http://www.answers.com/topic/prison-break?method=22):

"The first 13 episodes ran from August to November 2005 on Mondays on Fox. The remaining 9 episodes will air from March to May 2006."

[DavidH]

thanks Locky, oh and Episodes 14 is on on the 20th March iirc.

[djjimbob]

Just to make myself clear. I have Eps 1-13 on my PC. Which I am calling "The First Season"

This whole american way of making you wait months and months for episodes of the same soap-opera if frigging ridiculous.

In fact this whole Season-business is getting ridiculous. Suddenly the Americans are investing money into "decent" original programming a la Band of Brothers and 24. Now everything is spanned over years and seasons with no plot advancement and ideas dribbling out of ppl's arses biannualy.

(Yes, I'm frustrated with Lost)
(Yes, I have heard of X Files)

[charlie5]

I've got the entire series on my PC and while it started well and had a few good episodes it really started to drag towards the end.

When?

I just got done watching ep 10 yesterday and it's doing nothing but heating up if you ask.


A mini-series at best. The fact they are doing a Season 2.... :wtf:
But with this logic, every show on TV shouldn't have continued seasons.

Or are you telling me there's not enough storylines in this one to keep it going?

To me, that's absurd. There is a LOT more I want to know about this one and all the mini-storylines to keep me watching than any other series i've watched in recent memory; the first that always comes to mind being Lost.

Lost is your typical drag-it-out show, barely keeping your eyes open for 50 minutes and then giving you just enough at the end to keep the viewer.

I don't think PB has missed a beat so far in around 450 minutes of show.

Again, it must be different strokes and all that, but I thnk this is one of the best written shows i've seen in ages. The acting fits the characters: some can do emotion, a lot of them just thugs, tough guys and almost chav-like. Well, guess what? That's a Prison for ya. http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/images/smilie/wink.gif

[charlie5]

Now everything is spanned over years and seasons with no plot advancement and ideas dribbling out of ppl's arses biannualy.

(Yes, I'm frustrated with Lost)
I would agree with that (re: Lost, and the concept in general).... but I just don't see Prison Break being dragged out on it's last breath, gasping for a story.

If my guess is right (bare in mind I don't know what happens in eps 11, 12 or 13), season 2 is going to appear to be a completely different show in terms of storyline, setting and characters to a lesser degree.

I can clearly see why some might just flat out not like the show, but I can't see why some think it's a solid but long-winded idea. To me, putting what I have seen so far in any less than 9 or 10 episodes wouldn't work.

Most of the fun is in the character progression which you don't get in short series'.

[ascender]

I'm just a bit worried about what Season 2 will entail, was it always planned for when writing it?

Prison Break has been a great surprise for me, one of the most consistently high standard of programmes I've seen in a long long time. This break waiting for the next US episode is driving me mad though!

[HaHaUK]

Just finished watching all episodes upto 13.

Very gripping story but as with Lost, watching it one after the other really does spoil you and now I have to wait just under two weeks for 14 :pft:

[ascender]

Yip, I'm just damned impatient, the internet really has spoilt us for choice when it comes to watching US dramas.

[charlie5]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I just got done watching eps 11, 12 and 13 last night, and I can't BELIEVE the cliffhanger they left it on. So many questions, so long to wait......... I can't begin to imagine the guys in the US who watched this months ago and are now waiting for season 2. I've only gotta wait a few weeks.

But I go back to length; I seriously don't get how or why people think this is a typical 6-8 show mini-series. I was thinking about it last night. What i've seen in 13 episodes, to me, could've been spread out over at least another 4. Each one is so jam-packed that they could live with prolonging it. I'm glad they didn't, but there you go.

And then people question why there's a second season or whatever, but there's just SO much to watch for IMO. So many things I want to know, so many little storylines you almost forget about until they re-surface themselves.

I'll be honest, I thought season 1 would end with them breaking out and season 2 focusing in on Lincoln's revenge and all those kinds of things with the Leadman (right?) scam. But no... it looks like season 2 may not get off to that kind of a start. I'm thinking now that maybe season 2 will be longer (16+ shows) and -- cover your eyes -- MAYBE there's enough for a 3rd season, depending on how it goes.

[gingerj]

Last nights episode was great just for one fact, how the hell can they beat the government

[Yoshimax]

Episode 14 has been - how do you say - leaked :ph34r:

[DavidH]

yes, first thing yesterday, not a bad episode, it's been sooo long coming

[ascender]

Thanks for the heads up, been waiting for this one for ages.

[Yoshimax]

Well, you'll be fuming after it - I thought the ep13 cliffhanger was a tough one to bear - Jesus CHRIST.

How long till 15 anybody know ?

[oracle]

Espescially when the govener called!

[Zanza]

I think both 15 and 16 are out next monday.

[oracle]

Double ep? sweet

[Yoshimax]

As in tomorrow ? sweet as if that's the case.

[Zanza]

No, 14 was meant to be out tommroow, although looking at the listings 15 & 16 are down as follows:

2006-03-27 1x15 By the Skin and the Teeth
2006-04-03 1x16 Brother's Keeper

Although I have heard from afew people that its going to be a double episode, could just be a rumor though.

[ascender]

You're right, just finished watching Ep 14 and its cliffhanger is worse than Ep 13!

At least we don't have as long to wait til the next episode.

[PeteJ]

Good episode :)

[dc-arena]

Ohh I have missed this since November, was great to see the latest episode. Genuinely sad too, although its not over yet! I am banking on a 24 style last second evasion of some kind..

[oracle]

yeah but how?

The problem is how do they credabily save lincoln? With the governer gone I suspect the only person that could save him is chuck Norris :D

[DavidH]

or Jack Bauer. I get the feeling that the nurse has tampered with the electric chair some how, everyone seems convinced he is going to avoid death for now, just hope it's not something really really stupid. Roll on next Monday.

[Rossco]

Oh thats a good theory David!! I think that could well be it!! :)

Good episode anyway, roll on next week! :D

[ascender]

I thought that the kid had a picture on his camera phone of the camp Secret Service bloke with hi gun drawn? Surely that would have been the evidence required to make the whole courtroom draw sharp breath and have the prosecutor shitting it? Or is it being held over for a more dramatic chance to use it?

[Yoshimax]

^ We were debating the same thing whilst watching Ascender - Pretty sure it must be the latter !

[HaHaUK]

Or they might just have him executed. That would come as a shock cos we're all expecting some kind of last minute escape!

[oracle]

but its a 22 episode series, it was orginally supposed to be just thirteen but because it was popular it got extended

[HaHaUK]

but its a 22 episode series, it was orginally supposed to be just thirteen but because it was popular it got extended

So they execute Lincoln, but then Michael is still in jail, so tries to find a way out...

[DavidH]

just realised Ep15 was "leaked" 5 days ago ... no-one seen it yet ?

[Yoshimax]

What what ? Superb - this and 24 tonight then.

[Big Al]

But it's a work print, be as well waiting till tomorrow to get the proper version. That's what I'm gonna do anyway. Was tempting after the ending on number 14 though.

[ascender]

Never realised Ep15 was available. Places your bets now on how they resolve that particular cliffhanger!

[Yoshimax]

No idea - That's why I'm busting to see it :D

[DavidH]

yep me too, can't believe it's been there so long and I/nobody realised :(

[Rossco]

I noticed it ages ago, but have been waiting for the proper high def one as usual, hate these sucky 400mb versions! :p

Didnt even think of telling you all, sorry! :lol:

[DavidH]

thanks ;)

Ep15 (shown in USA last night) - Do not read unless you’ve seen it. Oh and the double-bill rumour was bull.

quality last second American Drama, it was the outcome I was expecting, however wouldn’t fancy my life hanging by someone noticing an envelope pushed under a door. Should set it up nicely for the remaining seven episodes, why didn’t Michael move an inch away from the burning pipe ? seemed a bit silly to me.

Question, in the first bit of the season, who was it that got stuck down the well ?? thought it was the skinnier dodgy FBI man, but my memory is sh*t. Thanks.


According to USA viewing figures, the audience for the first episode after the four month break were 22% down on the original first episode, take note FOX. Still it’s 10% more popular than Skating with Celebrities (that was shown in it's slot previously)

[gingerj]

Last night episode on C5 was well good...

[ascender]

US Ep15: Just about to watch it. I'm still betting on a stay of execution from some obscure source.

[Hombre]

Could someone please tell me which episode number was on last night on Channel 5?

[Locky]

Could someone please tell me which episode number was on last night on Channel 5?
It was episode 10 I believe.

[ascender]

Ep15 Wow, another great episode. So, the teeth imprints matched - how did that work if the autopsy thing was true? Faked dental records I guess.

Was that really his dad, who it then appeared was also the guy who delivered the autopsy report to the judge? Or did they just dress remarkably the same.

And how long before the cute doctor either confronts him or drops him in it?

Really enjoying this series.

[Hombre]

It was episode 10 I believe.Nice one Locky.

[Family Fry]

Missed episode 9 last week on channel 5 and the repeat!
When that happens on ANY channel on ANY show i have to download it to catch up.....then i end up seeing episodes 9-15 and think "AH F**K IT" :D
Was up til 5:30am ish with the missus watching 9-15 marathon, we were both on the edge of our seats.
Just keeps getting better and better and it's not lost its pace at all.

[Locky]

There will be a Season 2 of Prison Break. See this news item (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117940479?categoryid=14&cs=1&s=h&p=0) for more info but be warned - it contains *SPOILERS*!!

[Zanza]

"While there's been talk that the concept of "Break" means the skein might last only two seasons at most, Olmstead is convinced it can last much longer."

Bet the guy had big dollar icons in his eyes while he was thinking of that, why must they always do this, I was quite happy it was just going ot be 13 episodes, then they make it 15 episodes, then 18, now 2 seasons....how long will they make it go on :(

[Jebus]

If they make this 2 seasons (and lets not forget that the episodes airing in the US currently are consider as a "Season 2" by some people...) then it will be the biggest mistake in recent TV history...The show could have gone down as great, instead it'll go down the same as almost every other show...STAYED TOO LONG.

At the end of the day, if people are still watching they'll make more.

[DavidH]

I don't think a second season would necessarily be awful, so many ways the story could go, Lincoln lives/dies, Michael escapes from prison and is on the run etc etc, a second season set in prison would be a "bummer" though.

[Jebus]

I don't see how if could be good?

If Linocoln dies = the show is pointless, and over.

If Michael is on the run = who cares? He didn't save his brother, the show is pointless. It'd also have to change name to : Prison Break - Runners or some such shite.

I just don't see it working, even now I'm finding myself thinking "Seriously, can they string this out much longer?"

[ascender]

Yip, they're going to be constrained by the deadline on him being executed at some point and/or the miscarriage in justice being proven. If he dies and the rest go on the run, then so what, your reason for caring what happens and the premise on which the show is based has gone. If he gets off, then he gets set free and the others must still escape, then go on the run, same problem for the viewer, where's the interest?

[Locky]

The link (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117940479?categoryid=14&cs=1&s=h&p=0) I posted above mentions a few bits of info about the next season that will answer some of your questions but obviously it contains spoilers!

[ascender]

Latest US Ep: Really enjoyed that. Lesson to producers of Lost - that's how to use a flashback well. One whole episode dedicated to back story of the characters. You learn enough about them to explain why they are, who they are etc now, even though its all done in just the one episode.

[Locky]

I watched episode 11 on five last night. What episode are the US up to?

[Ciaran]

EP16 was just on last night.

[Rossco]

That was a real good episode:

Different to any other one but very interesting none the less to see where everyone came from etc.. :)

No breaks for the next 4 episodes which is good. :D

[HaHaUK]

Interesting episode.

Still one thing that Im confused about. Why is Lincoln the one that has been framed?

[DavidH]

Hasan
Haven't a clue was, thinking the same myself and could only think that he was down on his luck and owed alot of money.

Ep 16 was well done, thought Lost had put me off back-stories for life but PB ones were well done.

Oh and Ep 18 has been leaked before Ep 17 so be careful to watch then in order !

[Jebus]

I was thinking that as well, why not just pick any old bum and get him to do it...why Lincoln?

[DavidH]

Hasan [spoiler]
Oh and Ep 18 has been leaked before Ep 17 so be careful to watch then in order !

Seems like what is labelled as Ep18 is actually Ep19, so hoping for a proper Ep18 leak later this week ...

[PeteJ]

Massive confusion at the moment, the TV guides are giving out conflicting info. I think they extended the series from 13 to 18 episodes, then up again to 23. Episode 18 which is 'out' is called The Key (??), some places say this is episode 17, others 18 and others 19.

People who have seen this episodde 18 are saying it contains stuff they haven't seen before in the "previously in prison break" intro. Apparently there is a pretty hefty spoiler too, so don't go watching it!

[oracle]

yeah if you look at the torrents, there is a lot of confusion in the titles

e.g. pb ep 19 b4 ep 18?

im getting episode 18 now, 19 is available should i watch that first?

[Yoshimax]

Thought something was odd - found "18" last night but the narrative said "19" and I was really after "17" which i knew shouldn't be up yet (as it hadn't shown at that point).

Will hold off then till I see a confirmed 17 - Anybody know if "18" is "19" or is a genuine "18"??? :wtf:

[samar7]

the episode 18 which has been uploaded is actually 19 which sucks badly because i was looking forward to watching 18 after 17 and now that plans out the window, but wow prison break is so awesome!

[Rossco]

You really shouldnt watch the leaked episodes and this confusion wouldnt be there. I'm just watching the ones as they appear on US TV. So 17 was on last night which I downloaded and watched this morning. No hassle.

[oracle]

Hmmm are you sure that ep 17 was out yesterday in the us? I could swear that it was 18

[PeteJ]

No, 17 was definately on last night. Because the previous episode came out a week early it has caused confusion.

[oracle]

ah doom on a stick, so the thing ive downloaded is a pre release screener, wonder if its still interlaced?

[Rossco]

Im not going near the preview screens because they supposedly have words coming up on screen etc and aren't HD anyway so.. :p

Anyway, about episode 17:

Pretty good ep! Good mix between happenings outside and inside the prison, Michael is kinda ****ed though, the guy he planned to use to remember the map not even remember who he is.. :lol:
And his cell mate whose name I forget getting stuck in solitary too for being caught, he's well and truly ****ed!
And Lincoln stuck with two weeks to live when his friends literally cant do anything to get him out, well he's just dead!! :(

[HaHaUK]

One thing that I just remembered: That picture of the agent that kid took. Why doesn't he use that to incriminate him instead of going and trying to kill him?!

[Jebus]

One thing that I just remembered: That picture of the agent that kid took. Why doesn't he use that to incriminate him instead of going and trying to kill him?!Didn't he film the shooting...?

[HaHaUK]

Didn't he film the shooting...?

Nah: He just took a photo of him and then emailed it to himself

[DavidH]

One thing that I just remembered: That picture of the agent that kid took. Why doesn't he use that to incriminate him instead of going and trying to kill him?!

that photo means nothing though, though could have just been strangers passing in the street, especially as the guy seems to have another job alibi

Ep 17 was good, now just waiting for proper Ep 18 to appear

[HaHaUK]

Ep 18 and 19 were excellent!

E18:Lincoln is granted an hours visitation with his son, and on the way there, the van is hit by a truck.

EP19: After he is saved by his father we find out why Lincoln is being framed, in a X-Files style conspiracy.

John Abruzzi makes a miraculous return from the dead, and looks like he is working with that lawyer guy (Nick) to try and locate Fibonnaci.

And it ends of with the officer finding the hole, after the chav kid tells him they're trying to escape.

Can't wait for the next episode!!!

[Rossco]

Episode 18: HOLY MOLY!!! Hit by a truck!! What the funk is going to happen now!! The rest of the episode was pretty good too, about buying the cell back. Good stuff. :)

Really enjoying this..

[DavidH]

Ep 18 yes truck collision was well done, though Lincoln would never have survived, anyone else notice how Michael's hand has perfectly healed already ??

Ep 19 is looking great from the ten minutes I've seen so far, series is really reaching it's peak.

[ascender]

Ep 18: Was I the only one who saw Lincoln's accident coming a mile off?! It was signposted so obviously throughout, it was just a matter of waiting to see how they'd try and get him. Apart from that, another excellent episode.

Does anyone know how many episodes are going to be in Prison Break then?

[PeteJ]

Ep 18 ending was a bit fugitive wasn't it? Can't see how he'll survive that.
Also, poor haywire! He is only mentally completely ****ed up, no need to take advantage :p

Last few episodes have been stormers.

The only thing I didn't like about this one was the 'good' guy turning 'evil', was a needless twist imo.
What I DID like however, was the bodyguard, Vice and 'The Company' no longer seeing eye to eye, should make for a very intense multi-layered conclusion

I'm glad they had the break now to rework things, the series was becoming a little bit too convenient (or indeed, inconvenient) and lost its edge. Although now it has spread its wings more and perhaps become a more convential thriller\drama, it is far more gripping. A few shoe-horned story eliments, but not as much as I expected - most of the reworked script is seemless...that is, if they did reword it!

I'm not watching episode 19 (leaked a few weeks ago) because it unlikely to be the same episode that will be shown next monday. Though most of the scenes will remain the same, I believe it has been re-edited and has new scenes. It was the 'old' episode 18, before the mid-season break.

[DavidH]

I've seen leaked Ep19 and there are about 3 points where it says things like "insert xxx shot here" - nothing that hinders the episode what-so-ever, unless or course bits have been edited in, in the last fortnight - even if so, they are only going to be minor.

Trouble is now (in theory) I have to wait nearly a fortnight for Ep20.

[Zapp$ter]

So can anyone tell me which episode aired this past monday on channel five? I started following the series a couple of episodes in so I don't really know what episode number channel 5 are on currently(the same one that I'm on, I've not been downloading the show you see). It'd be a help to me since then I'd know which spoilers are safe for me to look at.

cheers

[DavidH]

Your best bet is to look on http://www.tv.com/prison-break/show/31635/episode_guide.html and go through the episode descriptions until you get to the one you've just seen (start from the beginning :) ) think C5 are upto about Ep 14 as a rough guide.

[Zapp$ter]

Ahh thanks for that. Looks like the most recent episode I watched was episode 13, having started around episode 6. No spoilers for me then.

[PeteJ]

I've seen leaked Ep19 and there are about 3 points where it says things like "insert xxx shot here" - nothing that hinders the episode what-so-ever, unless or course bits have been edited in, in the last fortnight - even if so, they are only going to be minor.

Trouble is now (in theory) I have to wait nearly a fortnight for Ep20.Ah OK then that isn't so bad.

I think I'll wait until tuesday then, if only to have less of a wait for the next episode!

[Locky]

So can anyone tell me which episode aired this past monday on channel five?
The next episode will be this one:

Prison Break (Drama)
When - Monday 24th April on five
The Rat. Series 1, episode 14.

Have a look on the five tv listings (http://www.five.tv/tvguide/). (There's a bit at the top next to the date that says 'next day' so you can go further a few pages to find Monday.)

[dc-arena]

CH5 have caught up quickly with the US! I guess the huge gap over the winter in USA caused that..

[dc-arena]

This site here which has proved accurate in the past labels it differently, saying The Key is 18.. This is where its confused me!

http://epguides.com/PrisonBreak/ which contradicts: http://www.tv.com/prison-break/show/31635/episode_guide.html

How odd. I am sure BLUFF was the card game, which took place in the same episode as the cop van getting hit by the truck.

[DavidH]

there is some confusion over episode numbers with PB - all stems back to the Pilot being Ep 1 on some sites, not others, I personally always go by tv.com

http://www.tv.com/prison-break/show/31635/episode_listings.html

suggest you read the Ep18 description (Bluff) and see if you've seen it.

Sorry I should have stated on post week or so ago that Ep19 was labelled "The Key" right at the start, don't think any other episodes have ever shown the episode name.

EDIT: I was very slow typing that post, Liverpool just went 2-1 up :)

[PeteJ]

Have just seen 19 (which is blatently "the key"!), superb episode. Cannot wait until episode 20!

[DavidH]

A Ep20 trailer has been leaked this evening cough.

[Yoshimax]

Is this trailer roughly the length of an episode ?

[dc-arena]

E19 was superb.. Really loving Prison Break, definetly a purchase when it comes out on DVD. Might have to wait for R2 though as my dad wants to watch it and their DVD player only plays R2 discs.

Can't wait to see how they get around their next pickle! :)

[DavidH]

Is this trailer roughly the length of an episode ?

no, it's 30 seconds, but high quality hence about 44mb iirc.

[ascender]

Ep 20: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Great episode, but I couldn't help but clock-watch as it got near the end and realised they wouldn't be going anywhere until next week. Still a bit confused as to what part Tweener is going to play in all of the escape, guess we'll find out soon.

So, is Bellick going to get free in time?

[HaHaUK]

ascender, is that meant to be spoilered? Had to close my eyes just in case. :zzz:

[ascender]

I am SO sorry, the tags were in there, but it came up as a quote? Have re-done it and it took them this time, but having re-read it, there wasn't much of a spoiler in there.

Sorry again.

[Rossco]

Wowwww this is getting good!!!


This and 24 really are pushing the boundaries of TV shows right now. Really entertaining. And how they come up with the twist after twist, its great!! :lol: When Michael was playing with the support beam in his hand, I was like "wtf?" then we found out and its like "ahhhh I see!! :lol: " Genius! I can't believe he actually done what he just done to the Pope though, crazy shit! Really dont have a clue whats going to happen now, cant even begin to consider whats around the corner!!



Great TV. :D

[PeteJ]

That was a GREAT episode, probably the best yet.

Can't wait to see where this is going :)

I don't think PB is pushing boundries though, The Shield has already pushed that into the atmosphere!

[MartyG]

Ep 20 I really can't see Pope agreeing to help, he's no reason to, certainly not due to a present no show. From the plot point of view this is deadwood. If he doesn't go along with it, that's the end of any prison break, so he has to, which doesn't make sense.

I really hope this doesn't get dragged out to another season because the will they won't they get out will get start to get very old, very quick, much as Lost has done.

[DavidH]

A second season was confirmed weeks ago Marty.

Milk it for what it's worth, isn't that the slogan of all US TV stations ??

[dr0x]

I really hope this doesn't get dragged out to another season because the will they won't they get out will get start to get very old, very quick, much as Lost has done.


Thats what I thought. Theres been quite a few moments which would have lead to very powerful conclusions like when it seemed like he was going to assist in his brothers death to avoid his suffering , which would have been a stunning ending in my mind, then escaping himself

But considering this last episode did one day in 45 mins , and we recently had a whole flashback ep its not inconcieveable that season one will end with them still all in jail.

The horror of horror ending I am praying doesnt happen is that michael gets caught, they dont escape but his brother gets saved becuase of his friend working within the law , uncovering the truth, and he has to serve out his sentence. Some sort or moral ending like that would be awful.

[MartyG]

See - then that already sucks, because we know they aren't going to escape, so all the tension created is pointless because it becomes meaningless. Once these things are stretched so thin, especially when the premise is so narrow, it starts to lose something.

Series like The Shield, 24, Buffy, Deadwood can get away without because the confines are so that much wider. 24 is a particularly good example because that wraps up a story in a season.

There's only so many chances to escape from a prison.

[DavidH]

or they may escape and be on the run - pure speculation of course.

[MartyG]

Might work I suppose.

The only thing then is all the dynamics built up break down, because they'd not stick together. The only reason they're together now is due to the goal of escaping, otherwise as seen in the first few eps, there's no way they'd be working with one another. They can't catch up with any family/friends as that's the first place/people that'd be watched.

The strength of this series is the complex dynamic between the very different character personalities.

[Yoshimax]

Anyway, cracking episode this week - Next weeks should be a belter. I found myself willing time to go on as I knew the ep would end before they began ;)

[Rossco]

The horror of horror ending I am praying doesnt happen is that michael gets caught, they dont escape but his brother gets saved becuase of his friend working within the law , uncovering the truth, and he has to serve out his sentence. Some sort or moral ending like that would be awful. What if that happens then someone else goes in to help michael escape!? :lol:

[Jebus]

See - then that already sucks, because we know they aren't going to escapeI actually think it means the opposite!

I think season 2 will be them on the run whilst still trying to uncover the conspiracy!

[MartyG]

See post #133 :)

[ascender]

Episode 21 titled Go! has just aired and its an amazing piece of TV. PB has managed to keep an air of suspense like no other program I can remember and there's a whole load of moments in this ep that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Only spoiler: I wonder if they had that thing about the money in there from the start so as to give the second season more of a purpose, or if it was added in once it was commissioned?

Oh, and what a surprise that fatty arbuckle broke the cable thing!

[HaHaUK]

My oh my what an episode!

[Rossco]

NOW THATS GOOD TV!!! :D

Seriously, it was so good.

I was literaly on the edge of my seat the whole episode, the second half of which, I just couldnt sit still, squirming about! :lol: Crossing the cable to escape had so much tension, you knew Pope was going to get found just before they got out but I never thought they'd make it. Excellent TV. Cant wait to see how it finishes now next week! :D

[DavidH]

Yes excellent episode, now only one to go as Rossco says, can't wait. Going to be quite a big break between seasons I read somewhere so hope the end of season cliff-hanger isn't too big.

[Indy @ S.E.]

Have to say ive been mighty impressed with this show, its not a single bit realistic but the pace of the show is absolutely spot on!

would post some spoilery spoils but as i dont know how to do it ill save my thoughts for now!

[DavidH]

Indy

[spoiler*]text here[/spoiler*]

but without the asterisks

[Indy @ S.E.]

Cheers for that fella! Not sure if much of what I wrote is a spoiler but still, any chance to use the tags! :D

Whoo, what a series! Wasnt expecting much of it but from about the 3rd-4th episode things started to heat up, the story always has you guessing whats going on.

For the finale, I reckon that the Secret Service chap will double cross the Vice President and shoot her. With the plane situation, Abruzzi will most likely kill T-Bag or at the very least chop his nads off and leave him behind, haywire and tweener will get told to go and do their own thing leaving sucre, abruzzi, michael and lincoln to fly away and leave everything nicely set up for series 2.

Either that or Lincoln somehow ends up getting killed!

[PeteJ]

That was an awesome episode, was on the edge of my seat all the way through. Great stuff.

As mentioned above it is totally unbelieveable but the pacing is spot-on. Excellent TV :)

If you enjoyed the tension from the last two episodes, I seriously recommend checking out The Shield (particularly season 5, though you need to watch the previous 4 first) as it is even more intense.

[Yoshimax]

Superb episode (Just caught it) I'm wondering if Season 2's going to be The race for 5 million ;)

[Rossco]

Most likely yeh!

I can maybe see it being a case of everyone splitting up and going their own way to do it!! :D Maybe crossing paths along the way etc.

[PeteJ]

Maybe there will be loads of flashbacks and a story that doesn't go anywhere too :)

They have to be so careful what they do with Season2. It's basically going to be completely different to season1 which was fairly unique - season2 is going to struggle to find a niche.

[ascender]

And so its all over for Season 1. Wee bit predictable in places, but still another great episode. I don't know what it is about PB, but its one of the best series I've seen in a long time. Bring on Season 2.

[Rossco]

Great ending! Didnt think it would happen like that, thought they would of got on the plane and escaped, then Season 2 would be them going for the money mostly. Who knows what'll happen now!

Top notch though, really really great series of TV. :D

[HaHaUK]

Too bad the seasons over now, really enjoyed it. Whens S2 due for release?

[Rossco]

"Fall"

[DavidH]

Just seen it, shame it's over, last handful of episodes were much better paced, Jack Bauer wouldn't have taken a whole 22 episodes to escape ;)

Be interesting to see where they go with The President side of things also, bit sad that Doctor Sarah OD'd though :(

[MartyG]

It's been enjoyable, but I didn't like the way it ended particularly it's been a similar story whole series - the van gets stuck, then the car they try to steal doesn't have an engine, then they missout by a minute before the plane takes off? That said there were a lot of good moments, like taking off T-Bag's hand and having it laying there in front of him, and Haywire riding off on the bike with that daft helmet.

[DavidH]

must admit it was a good ending for me, accidently read a (non-true)spoiler the other day saying that T-Bag, Lincoln & Abruzzi got killed at the end of season one

Marty your getting cynical in your old age ;)

[Big Al]

I thought it was pretty funny that The 2 idiots they cut loose seemed to be escaping just fine when they all seem to be daffy ducked

[Indy @ S.E.]

Man that was good TV!! was quite surprised with the storyline, when T-bag handcuffed himself to Michael I had a feeling that he was gonna get his arm cut or shot off!

Was really surprised with the ending though, I thought that there would be a bit of a shootout when they got to the plane, having the plane fly off without them will make next series like a linger version of the fugative.

Personally I cant wait for it!

[oracle]

How do you see them escaping, the police were only about 30 seconds away? They're going back to prison no doubt about that!

[PeteJ]

Not a bad final episode but it has clearly been rewritten to force in a second series.

The bit near the end where they were running for the plane, with the police behind was quite bad - they looked like they were running reaaaaaaally slow and the cars were going at about 15mph! Also as Oracle says, they were a stones throw away at the end (when the police gave up, it seems) so they shouldn't really be able to escape.

A difficult series to end without a doubt, particularly with the second planned. They handled it pretty well I guess :)

For season two I now think:
one of the main 'good' characters is going to get caught, and they will need to break back in. While 'back in' they'll meet back up with those that were cut loose from the gang, who will also get caught! It'll last approximately 22 episodes, take 10 to get going, 10 to repeat the same again with higher stakes, 1 to almost succeed and then 1 to fail at the last minute, all while forcefully (and pointlessly) setting up a third season. I can see it! I kid :p

[MartyG]

Pete - If they get recaptured it'll be a dragged out thing again, there's only going to be so many ways out, and after that escape surely they'd have the blue prints looked at. Plus, they'd be watched night and day. The premise of them being able to work in that building where the hole was dug unsupervised was a very thin premise as it was. I wish somewhat this had been an encompasing series in the way that Sleeper Cell was. Prison Break is a great idea for a series, but I wouldn't want to see it dragged on and on and on and on.

I agree with your Sleeper Cell comment, they should have gone out with a bang and left it at that.

[Indy @ S.E.]

Oracle:

the next season is subtitled "Prison Break:Manhunt" so I think that pretty much sets the scene that they will be on the run and the feds will be chasing them, hence my comment of being a longer version of the movie The Fugitive

[Yoshimax]

For sure the next season is going to be the race for the $5 million.

Brilliant end to a great series - at times it grated me a bit but overall fantastic.

[Ajay1986]

LOL i loved the way Haywire just stole some girls bike, everyone else is running thru the fields and hiding in between rocks and he's just on a bike going down the street. Really great show all in all hope the next season is as good.

[dc-arena]

Nooo!!! Cool ending, so do we have to wait til Autumn for Season 2?! Loved the handchopping at the end, that was ****ed up..

[PeteJ]

Season 2 trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-_wB9JnAHw

It starts very soon!

[HaHaUK]

10 days left!!! http://thefriendsociety.com/forum/images/smilies/ahhh.gif Cant wait!!!

[DavidH]

And the first fake S02E01 file has appeared, got my hopes up for all of ten seconds :(

[Ajay1986]

AHHHHHHHHHHH i cant wait lol really loving Prision Break i enjoyed the first season much more then the last 2 24's.

[Yoshimax]

This sneaked up outta nowhere - magic, can't wait...

[Crimson Day]

almost starting again cant wait8)

[eastyy]

Just ordered the dvd set of the first season


I have watched about half of the first season at the moment and i have to say while i have liked what i have seen it was the first episode that i enjoyed the most and i really wished the rest of the season was like that

(in that it gave the impression that the guy was always in control and was ALWAYS a step ahead )

[Fat_Bob]

wow the trailer looks great. can't wait till it kicks off again. me and my gf watched it religiously.

[supersmithy]

I can't wait for the 2nd series to start - but i've agreed with a mate that we're not gonna watch it till its half way through - then we're gonna have a massive Prison Break marathon.

It's gonna be hell to stay away from this thread!

[DavidH]

Removed couple of posts, yes first episode of second series is available.
Please be considerate to others and spoiler any spoilers, happy viewing :)

[Yoshimax]

Enjoyable first episode - very much a continuation of season 1 in terms of its style & delivery. Couple of "revelations" in the first episode which I won't go into for the sake of our non-up to date frequenters ;)

Good stuff though - was hoping they'd have the first 2 up a-la lost as I was right up for some more after 1.

[DavidH]

Yes that first episode did fly by, was as good, if not better than many of the episodes set inside the prison.

Nice to see Doctor Sarah still alive, she can check my pulse anyday, was quite shocked at the lawyer ladies death (forgotten her name).

Nice to see the Sheriff from Invasion has "landed" a fairly major part.

[shuzo]

I thought the first episode wasn't too bad at all like David said I was shocked at Veronica's death too, though kinda glad as I really don't think she can act!

Also I think bringing that FBI agent into it is going to keep things interesting as he seems to be able to work out Schofield's plan.

[eastyy]

Just got the series one dvd set thats alot of hours took up this weekend

[Sarkster]

Im not happy with "the thing" that happened in s02e01. not happy at all.

Anyway, this is now the A-Team, yea?

[DavidH]

Re Ep. 0201; just realised there was no updates as to what's happened to Haywire and Weener(?) - the young kid. Christ my memory for TV character names is sh*t.

[Yoshimax]

The only name I remember is "T-Bag" - it's a beauty :)


I gues they're free for now as the focus is on the group.

The obvious thing would have for everybody to split up - I take it the paranoia about the $$ is keeping them together for now.

[PeteJ]

Enjoyed that ep, the danger is it turning into The Fugitive the series (which did happen? I think...unless it was a dream), but I enjoyed the first series enough to trust they know what they are doing!

[dc-arena]

Season 2 Ep 2
Awesome! I am loving the way this is panning out already. Ohh what will happen about his shot leg/knee, and ooohhh what will happen when they blantantly all meet up in Utah. Superb stuff. And it looks like the now ex prison guard is going to go on a hunt for himself - I thought he would do this tbh as soon as they said he was fired.

Gonner be a great season me thinks.

[PeteJ]

Yeah that was a good ep, season 2 is already shaping up well.

[Stuart Smith]

Enjoyed that ep, the danger is it turning into The Fugitive the series (which did happen? I think...unless it was a dream), but I enjoyed the first series enough to trust they know what they are doing!

lol, The Fugitive originated as a TV series back in the day. The Harrison Ford movie was an update, which did indeed spawn a remade TV series that only lasted for one season, despite being reasonably compelling.

Finally finished off S1 of Prison Break last night, awesome stuff, so tense! Can't wait to start getting stuck into S2.

[ascender]

Episode 2 of Season 2 was excellent, i'm really enjoying it, despite my predictions of it being a pile of steaming poo compared to S1. OK so its lost the sense of tension and its bordering on the ridiculous in places, but its still entertaining.

On the whole, I'm enjoying it immensely, but a bit of me still wishes they'd ended it with one season.

[DavidH]

Ep2 was bit more far-fetched yes, still a quality show, just fear 20+ episodes this season are going to stretch the plot too thinly.

[samar7]

Episode 3 was brilliant aswell!

[PeteJ]

That was another great episode :)

American drama is unstopable!

[Rossco]

This is getting great! :D

[dc-arena]

S02 E03 - Superb stuff again! At times I don't like how they're right behind them all the time, but its bloody exciting and really it makes it better. I just want them to escape, but thats no fun :) Hee hee there is a gonner be a huge standoff gun/fist fight with the brothers and the ex-prison guards whey they catch them up. Can't wait!

[Yoshimax]

Yep good stuff there with Ep3 - Looking forward to the inevitable confrontation ;)

[DavidH]

Ep3 really was a notch up the ladder quality wise one thing there was no mention of the escapee's having to be alive to get the reward was there ? Think Ballack is a top character, almost as if the role was written for the actor who plays him

[Rossco]

Yeah he's really good and I'm SO GLAD Holly Vallance is back in it, she is just so hot! :wub:

[HaHaUK]

Another cracking episode. Didnt think the show was gonna be as good as the first season but its shaping up to be another exciting one!

[oblivion_6]

I totally love this show, never got into it much at the start but i then started watching them all recently.

T-bag and Ballack are probably my favourite tv actors right now, its amazing how much they pull you into the story

[PeteJ]

This is too much, I never thought Season 2 would be so enjoyable! Wish the episodes were longer than ten minutes though! :p

Can someone please explain to me something I must have missed last week - The FBI guy keeps making a connection between Michael and an old case (?), what was the connection and why does it keep getting referenced so much?

[peeveen]

Can someone please explain to me something I must have missed last week
Haven't seen this weeks episode yet (downloading now), but I think the guy in the file was "the one who got away", and the FBI fella is determined that it won't happen again ... could be wrong tho..

[Rossco]

Yeah thats what I made of it too. Been another great episode with a good few small twists and turns throughout. :)

[DavidH]

Season two is getting better week by week, must admit I was one of the "not going to be as good as the first season" doubters before it started, but am now prefering this to the one in the prison. Plus seeing more and more of Holly Valance isn't a bad thing ;)

[Yoshimax]

Certainly is - I had my doubts after the first two but it's really picking up momentum now. Another great episode - I was convinced it was The Homie wannabe who was going down - That was quite nicely handled.

Also, T-Bag - jesus :blink:

[Rossco]

Ooooo another great episode!!! :D

Didnt see that coming with the money bing built over by houses!! :lol: What do you reckon will happen now? Digging in random peoples gardens or will the find out exactly where it should have been buried, which seems impossible now due to T-bag eating the map!



Really loving this.

[Yoshimax]

Rossco before I unspoiler your post are you talking about this weeks (last nights) or last weeks ? Not seen this week so if so I'll avoid for now.

[Rossco]

Last nights episode.

[oblivion_6]

Last nights was a good un as well, felt slightly slow at some points but the drama was nice and high

I wish i knew the story behind the Fed tracking them, I reckon hes killed the dude he never caught and hes buried under that fountain he keeps staring at

[Ajay1986]

Yep another great episode but i have one thought.

Where the hell is Haywire. Am i just being thick by missing abit of an earlier episode or have they just not mentioned him yet, because he was my fav character out of the lot.

[oblivion_6]

Yep another great episode but i have one thought.

Where the hell is Haywire. Am i just being thick by missing abit of an earlier episode or have they just not mentioned him yet, because he was my fav character out of the lot.
oh aye

Last we seen of him he was with the family or something was he not? Kinda like Bushemi in Con Air.

Or am i mixed up?

[Ajay1986]

As far as i can remember the last we saw of him was When he stole the little girls bike and they showed him going down a street on the bike

[DavidH]

Not exactly a spoiler; Haywire makes his first appearance this series in next weeks episode :)

[Ajay1986]

YAY, he really is the best character cant wait to see what he's been doing.

[Rossco]

Wow, has he not been in any of these 5 episodes? I thought the one where he stole the bike was this series? Cant wait to see what happens with him now, he's a legend. :)

[DavidH]

he took the bike at the end of the last episode of Series one.

[Yoshimax]

Good episode - really enjoyed that.

And Teabag is easily the best character in this !

[dc-arena]

Last nights was a good un as well, felt slightly slow at some points but the drama was nice and high

I wish i knew the story behind the Fed tracking them, I reckon hes killed the dude he never caught and hes buried under that fountain he keeps staring at

I am wondering what the deal with the fountain is aswell. I was thinking a) something was in the water or b) something underneath it.

Which dead dude do you mean? The one which they used to fake their car accident?

[Yoshimax]

Nah DC he means the guy whos police file conveniently keeps appearing in front of the fed - I hadn't even noticed this fountain thing I'll need to check that out.

[dc-arena]

Ep 6 - Blllllllllaaaady hell!! This is getting NUTS! I can't take any more, I need Ep 7 now!!

[Rossco]

Too true. Its really opening up now!

The bitch is caught and now the cops are coming to get them right at the door, god knows how they'll get out of this one. Surely Tweener is out of it now?

[Yoshimax]

Brilliant episode - It's getting so tense - Need more now.

[DavidH]

It is getting better each episode

it would be hilarious if it's Haywire that gets the money come the end of the series - that is not a spoiler, just a "nice ending" thought of mine

[Rossco]

That would be funny, but you really cant guess whats going to happen, its been such a great series so far, really impressed beyond what I believed it would do. :)

Hope there aren't any breaks this time round as I rely on my weekly fix of Prison Break like Pete Docherty does on crack. :D

[DavidH]

Don't know what's going on with the schedule, but doesn't look too promising according to tv.com, next three episodes are all that's listed...sure it will be OK, crosses fingers.

Buried 10/2/2006
Dead Fall 10/30/2006
Unearthed 1/1/2007

[Ajay1986]

I really really hope it doesnt have the massive breaks in scheduling that Lost S2 had in the US.

[Jebus]

It did last season...so, I'd guess it might... :(

[Rossco]

Don't know what's going on with the schedule, but doesn't look too promising according to tv.com, next three episodes are all that's listed...sure it will be OK, crosses fingers.

Buried 10/2/2006
Dead Fall 10/30/2006
Unearthed 1/1/2007No way! One this week, then a 4 weeks wait for the next one then a 2 month wait for the next. Thats a joke!!!

[Yoshimax]

That there better be bullshit.

[shuzo]

Just watched episode 7 and I thought it was one of the best so far.

Shocked at the FBI agent killing the kid, wasn't expecting that. The governor is dead too, but I doubt they'd let Sarah's character be killed off yet, I think she'll probable be saved by that 'Paul' guy. Just remembered that Sucre's turning on them now as well, who knows where that will go.

There's too much to look forward to!

I can't believe they aren't going to show another episode for a few weeks, that really sucks http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/images/smilie/mad.gif

[Hulk Davidson]

30. 2- 8 2AKJ08 30 Oct 06
31. 2- 9 2AKJ09 1 Jan 07

That's quite a gap! :(

[Rossco]

Brilliant episode, you just dont see half of this stuff coming, it really has been most excellent. Sucks about the huge breaks now though! :mad:

[HaHaUK]

:o What an episode!

[PeteJ]

Another good episode, didn't
see any of the twists coming, but I didn't think the end was particularly well done either. The ending to both stories, they felt almost rushed like they needed a extra large cliff-hanger to finish the first half of the season

[DavidH]

Think your right Pete it did all seem rushed, wonder what they are planning with the next episode at end of October, got to be some mega cliffhanger ... shame the kid snuffed it. We're down to 6 escapee's already.

[Yoshimax]

I'd figured cop-boy was a few sanwiches short of the proverbial picnic but :wtf:

[atrus]

That's quite a gap! :(Hmmm....TV.com has a different story

Dead Fall 23rd October (S02E08)
Unearthed 30th October (S02E09)
Rendezvous 6th of November (S02E10)

http://www.tv.com/prison-break/show/31635/episode_listings.html?season=2&tag=nav_bar;2

I reckon that they'll do the same as series 1 - have 13 episodes then a massive gap.

[DavidH]

heh tv.com was where I got the original information from, not that I'm complaining :)

[clnmckec]

anyone know what the deal is? 2x08 should have been up should it not?

[cutmymilk]

its shown sundays mate

[Crimson Day]

yep there was no episode this week look at www.tv.com (http://www.tv.com) for schedules

[oblivion_6]

Theres an episode of lost to keep you going, but the next prison break isnt for a while then the dread XMas Break comes in

[Crimson Day]

23rd of oct for the next one

[clnmckec]

thats gash! Prison break has over taken lost IMO apart from 24 and the shield its the best program on the box lost is getting a wee too arsey! with whey too many flashbacks! should have been over by the end of season 2

[Rossco]

Another great ep, cant believe T-bag got away with the money!!! Thought Sucre had gone crazy when he stole all the money, was really disappointed in him! :lol: Then the truth came out. And then Michael saved his ass at the last second in dramatic fashion. :D

This is getting better and better.

[PeteJ]

Doh forgot this was on :(

And I just read your spoiler without thinking about it!

[DavidH]

Another great episode.

Sure Ballick is going to catch up with T-bag before long, interesting to see dodgy FBI people controlling the guy in charge of the "chase" - hadn't seen that coming

[Yoshimax]

Jesus Christ that was far and away the best episode so far this season - The ending was absolutely :wtf: but the way Schofield played Mahone regarding the missing serial killer was genius - You lot were spot on regarding the fountain

Can't wait for the next one - Hope lost is as good as this & Heroes have been this week !

[PeteJ]

Yeah agreed, that was a top episode. Didn't see half of it coming!

[DavidH]

Yes another excellent episode

Felt sorry for Linc & LJ. The T-Bag/Ballack twist should be interesting

[DavidH]

[This weeks, Ep. 10]

Best. Episode. Ever. (maybe)

I'm just waiting for t-bag to pull his hand off and therefore break free from the radiator, yuk. He plays that part so so well. And poor old Ballack getting stitched up :lol
Predict Michael rescuing Sarah with a karate chop to the back of Paul's neck, enjoying this much more than Season 1 now.

And just realised Marie-Cruz is also the younger sister in The Nine :) annoying me that was.

[Rossco]

I pointed that out ages ago when trying to big up The Nine. Get with it Holliss. :p

But yeh its ace, getting so much better as it goes too, T-bag is just brilliant. I really thought he was gonna pull his hand right off again. Was jumping about in my seat telling him not to do it! :lol:

[Oh! My Car!]

how is everyone seeing this? I'm watching it on youtube myself and it's sooo good (better than series 1?? maybe) It just sucks having to wait a week each time! :lol:
