Well, (as the description reads) Season Two of Prison Break starts tonight. If anybody else here watches this show, I'm curious to see what you think of it. I caught almost the entire first season on television, and it was somewhat recently released in a DVD box set. Honestly, it's almost the only non-cartoon/non-anime TV show that I actually like, and it's pretty great. (Better than half of the other shows out there, anyway, IMO.)
I'm rather curious to see how Season Two is going to be played out, <spoiler?>now that they've officially broken out</spoiler?>. What are your thoughts on it - the first season, the second, or the show in general?

Wait, I thought Season 2 starts off with right after *Spoilers* they failed, and his brother is about to get the chair, but they sabotage it? *Spoilers*
That episode aired here tonight *sweden* and as far as I know, they present it as a new season.
Anyway, I'm only that far, and even then I have missed some episodes from the first season, so I need to catch up.

I personally don't care from the show... Last season started off alright, but really I think it should have been a mini-series as opposed to a full series.
They should have broke out in the first season, and have that be that... There's no need to chase them down in a manhunt and extend the series far beyond what it needed to be. They're just cashing in on the ratings and this has a Matrix 2 feeling to it ( Scripted as a trilogy my ass! )

Well, I guess it's
aired as a separate season there (they did that in the US as well), but both of those seem to be referred to as the first season. (See:
List of Prison Break episodes.) The first season is the first 22 episodes. The show is a Mondays-only show (at least in the US), so that's probably why it was separated into two halves.
And yeah, my mom and I are both really curious to see what this second season is going to be like, because of how the first one ended. The title doesn't quite seem appropriate now, and I'm wondering how much further they can possibly stretch it out (while keeping it interesting).

Chalryn
Aug 21 2006, 01:55 PM
Well, it depends which episodes from the first season you may have seen. For the most part, though, I'd say you should either catch up on the first season via DVD, or at least read up on it online. If you know the general concept of the show, then you should be fine for Season Two, but if you care about details, then you should try to catch up in some way or another.

Yeaaa. I really wanna say ##### it and jsut watch it but I think you're right on principle. When people ask me if theycould just jump into 24, I'm like "yeaaa, but i'd strongly advise you see the other series first". Its possible, but it ruins alot imo. So yea. I'll probably wait, I only saw the first three and a few in the middle of season 1. I know all about it, but I'd like to understand the characters, thats usally what makes a series.

Reviving a old topic.

Well, I got into this season little over a month ago. Just completed the first season DVD set and downloading the second season since the DVD set not out for that. This got to be one of my favorite TV drama, if you can class it that, to date. Not sure why I'm into it, but I just am.
I've only watched up to episode 6. I just watch
Vanilla Ice wannabe get capture by Mahone, it's cool they casted William Fitchner to play the FBI agent. I like him quite a bit as an actor.
Anyway, spoiler time.
What's up with John being the first to go down? That's weak since he's one of my favorite characters on the show. At least he got T-bag back and cut his hand off, even though he reconnect it, I'll be surprised he'll be able to use it again. I knew John won't get away, but still, they killed him off. The crazy dude got away. How the heck he get away? He was riding a freaking bike. He should have been caught. Veronica died, too? LoL, not too disappointed by that.Anyway, great series.
Are any of you still watching it?

Hell yes I'm still watching it.

I was disappointed this week, 'cause PB was replaced by House on Monday, for some reason. There're only a couple more episodes left to Season 2, though I gotta wait 'til this coming Monday to see the next new one.
Anyway, I'm still loving the series, and it's still the only live-action show I can be bothered to watch on TV. I also thought it was odd that
Abruzzi was the first to go, though I'm not particularly bothered by it. I was surprised to see the guy who plays Mahone, 'cause he's pretty much the only actor in the show whose face I recognized, hah. He's definitely a great person for the role.
Interested to see how Season 2's going to end. Definitely going to pick up the DVD set whenever it's released.

I doubt they can seriously pull off another season at the pace it's heading, but I really don't mind it if they continue to make it decent. I mean, at the pace it's going they have to do something huge, doesn't it come back next Monday or something? o.O

That's why I like DVD and downloading. Watch when I want and without a commercial. Though, DVR isn't much different, just fast forwarding through them. I'll likely go to TV once I catch up. Which episode they're currently at?
Abruzzi going down that fast wasn't cool, but when you think about it, he didn't have a role to serve with the main plot after that. Didn't need the money and wanted to kill T-bag and the rat. He thought he left T-bag good for dead and his obession for the rat, too lazy to spell the dude's name, lead to his death. I didn't think Mahone let him in there for a reason, but he did.. Not too surprised and I know it didn't ruin the main plot. I just liked that character a lot.

I'm still watching avidly as well. It seems there's about three episodes left in Season 2. Scheuring has already stated that he's working on Season 3, which will surround a new plot, seeing as how a majority of the show's current events will be wrapped up at the Season 2 finale.
They still have numerous sub-plots to wrap up. I'm interested as to
who "Pad-Man" is, and what the file on "SONA" is about. It seems that C-Note is working with Wheeler to incriminate Mahone, and Sucre is going to try to get Bellick the five million to keep himself from returning to prison. T-Bag's lost the money, so that's up in the air now. In the last episode, Kellerman decided not to assassinate Reynolds, who at the end of the episode stepped down from her Presidency, due to "malignant cancer," instead of pardoning Mike and Linc.I'm also curious as to what's going to happen with Sarah Callies' character, due to her recent real-life pregnancy.

here.Just three more episodes to go. I just caught up with the series and just finished watching episode 19. Still very exciting.
Anyway, here I go.
Bellick let out of jail? That's not cool since he got what he deserved, in a sense. He's back to being the low life we all remember. I wonder if he'll get what's coming to him in the end. T-bag, Sucre and Bellick part of the story should end by the end of the season. I can see Sucre getting the money while T-bag and Bellick end up killing each another. I'm surprised T-bag been allowed to live. 
Micheal and Lincoln will likely run, but will they get away. One episode would be title Panama. I don't know, but how else can they fight? They lost the only leverage they had. The company seem control of the situation, but I suspect they won't be soon. If nothing happen, the company ended up winning in the end? Doesn't seem logical to me.
Reynolds and Steadman were in a relationship? Quite disgusting. 
I'll likely continue the rest of this series on TV. Great show!

Be happy you can watch it on TV straight away! x.x...
Alittle backlogged with the series since getting the episodes has been a pain with this connection, but I managed to catch up xP. I swear, not enough people I know watches this x.x.
>>> Reynolds and Steadman's relationship is just wrong x.x... I thought the conversation on the tape was going to be something more political than personal, but I guess it works both ways xD. I'm still wondering what the heck Kellerman is going to end up doing since he didn't shoot off Reynolds, it doesn't seem like he'll be doing much in the next lot of episodes but then again the previews never give you much.
I have a feeling T-Bag is going to get away, I don't know why, just a feeling plus I want him to get away, haha. I thought they were going to ruin his character after he let that family free, so I'm glad they decided to move on with him and the money. As for Michael and Lincoln... I'm just going to wait on that since I seriously have no clue what they're gonna do except run.
Good news on Callies' then, they're not killing her off just not showing her for awhile, I guess they can di that since they didn't bring her in until part through season 1 and she's like the only main female that's really caught up in this x.x.

I watched episode 20 yesterday.
Nothing shocking happen. Mahone done, but the company using him to finish off Michael and Lincoln. Michael going to Panama to caught T-bag, which would be Mahone luring Michael out, though the information accurate. Sucre and Bellick are heading to Panama for T-bag, too. We'll see what will happen with T-bag during the next episode and we might get a conclusion involving him, too.
I didn't get to see much, but Kellerman was dressed in military uniform. Not sure what he's doing since they didn't even show him during the last episode. I'll be surprised if he's allowed to survive.
Like we're all wondering, what's up with Sona?
Oh yeah, the silent man talked at last. 
Good episode. Not much further to go until the season finale.
Chalryn
Mar 20 2007, 01:03 PM
T-Bag: Judging by the preview, it looks like Michael actually confronts T-Bag in person, and likely a fight ensues. I'm really wondering now if T-Bag will actually be killed or turned in, or if somebody else will butt in and interrupt those two. Seeing as Sucre and Bellick are after T-Bag as well, I'd expect something like that to happen. Mahone's there as well, though. Things could get quite interesting...
Kellerman: I noticed him in that military uniform in the preview as well, though I'm not sure... He was either just saluting, or he was holding a gun to his own head. o.O; Wondering what's going on with him.

Lost Seraphim
Mar 21 2007, 04:53 PM
Michael, T-Bag, Bellick & Sucre: They're all after T-Bag, but with different motives. I'm not so sure of what's to happen to T-Bag either, since Michael's no longer interested in Westmoreland's money, but the fact that T-Bag has killed and that he must be stopped.
Kellerman: I seriously doubt that he's going to end his life before the season's end. I have a feeling that he's going to be involved in either Sara's current situation or retain his persistent opposing of Kim and "The Company."
Lincoln/Mahone: Due to Mike's recent choice of pursuing T-Bag, I have a feeling Linc may cross paths with Mahone in trying to find to him. Especially since Mahone's heading to Panama.
Sara: Due to Callies' recent pregnancy, along with her character's capture, I think this may be Scheuring's way of creatively keeping Sara behind the scenes until further notice.
I predict alot of heated encounters within the final episodes, and hopefully an equally amount of resolve will shine through as well.

Yeah, I don't really see a reason for him to. I was simply saying what it looked like in the preview.
From what I remember from the preview for the next episode,
Mahone does catch up with Linc. I don't remember what happens in the preview, but I'm pretty sure I recall seeing them together on the boat in it. That can't be good. o.o;
Lost Seraphim
Mar 28 2007, 10:32 PM
Well, it seems that
Kellerman's suicide was unsuccessful. So it seems that
he will be testifying at Sara's court hearing. Judging by the end of the last episode, it doesn't look like T-Bag will be getting away again, though it's T-Bag so anything's possible. He's been seriously injured again though, that's for sure, and Bellick is last seen
being hauled off by the Panama police. Sucre was left in a pretty dire position as well. Since
he and Mike's attempt to bring T-Bag to the authorities failed, and T-Bag managed to stab him with a screwdriver. As for Linc and Mahone,
Mahone managed to handcuff Linc and wants Mike to bring him the ship and the five million dollar's, in turn for Linc's life.So as expected, things are quickly getting climatic. And it definitely looks like someone's
getting shot next week.
Eva
Mar 29 2007, 01:41 PM
Spoiler!
We were wrong! Kellerman did try to kill himself. He just failed. 
T-bag got caught. I expected that or he would die. Not shocked he worked with the company since it seem obvious the previous episode. Michael took T-bag down. Good to see Michael didn't kill him. Glad they didn't forget the fact that a person like Michael torn up when pain caused to other people, especially because of him.
Yeah, it seem Kim got down to Panama next week, what an awful way to spoil all the people by showing Kim in the preview. I have feeling Kim and Mahone are going to kill each another. Though, I won't rule on Lincoln completely. Won't it be terrible if Lincoln died and every thing Michael did and all the people that die along the way were all for nothing?Good episode. The final episode next week. I can't wait!

Somehow, I missed the season finale tonight.

Any ideas for places I could look for it? I looked around on TV for a "Fox On Demand" or something similar, but to no avail. =\ Otherwise, I suppose I might just settle for a summary...
Lost Seraphim
Apr 2 2007, 11:01 PM
Well, I am happy to see that Kim was shot, and likely killed, by Sara. It also seems that Kellerman was gunned down en route to prison, after incriminating himself, Reynolds and the people who hired him, on Sara's behalf. It seems that T-Bag has been captured indefinitely at this point, as well as Bellick. I'm not sure what is going to happen to Sucre, since the last we see of him is when he collapses on the street after Bellick is taken away. After trying to get away with the money and the boat, Mahone was set up by Mike after the police flagged the boat for having reported drug trafficking violations on it. Sure enough, there was cocaine planted on board. So it seems that Mahone has also been taken into the custody of the Panama police. What concerns me the most is the fate of Michael and Sara, since Linc is now a free man due to Kellerman's testimony. Mike was taken in by the Panama police for "murder," while Sara is left to wander on her own once again. It also seems like someone's following her again. However, I think that Linc is going to be keeping a watch over her for the time being. And we finally discover what Sona is: arguably the worse prison in Panama. The last scenes of the finale show Bellick lying damn near lifeless on the floor, badly battered. Mike wanders through a corridor of the prison and is met with the pursuing eyes of many of the inmates, but eventually walks out into what is only seen as a blinding white light.
Overall, I think the season ended on a rather ambiguous note, but I think a fair amount of clarity was given, considering there is, after all, a third season on the way. There is certainly a wide enough gap to fill in, and I can't wait.
Chalryn
Apr 3 2007, 11:58 AM
Okay, nevermind, I caught it. I never thought I'd be saying this, but god bless MySpace. XD Well, the
Prison Break page, anyway.
I sure hope
Kim is dead. That guy is a straight-up prick. I definitely saw that coming, though. When Linc runs into the boat beforehand, you see a gun lying on the table, and then
Sara was inside while the others were out. Foreshadowing, anyone?
On the other hand, I will be greatly disappointed if
Sucre dies. Judging by how that last scene with him was put together and all, it seems likely. (Also,
I've read and heard that one of the main protagonists won't make it out of Season 2 alive, which also makes it seem likely.) He's been one of my favorites in the series all along, so I hope he'll be alright.

Sona looks nothing short of horrifying and unnerving.
It looked like practically a bunch of major criminals just wandering about "freely," though I did see cells, so I dunno. Cells or not, though, that looks pretty awful. And that was
Bellick?! I thought it looked kind of like him, but I really couldn't tell for certain. Guess that only backs up the gruesome level of a beating that he apparently took.

Season 3 seems somewhat unnecessary (if they wrapped it up correctly in 2, I mean), even to me, though I certainly can't argue against having more Prison Break to watch in the future.

Looking forward to it, as usual.

I love Prison break
it is full of tension and yet dosnt get boring, like some do.
TBag is a total bastard yet sometimes sympathetic, like when he gave the vet who treated him a choice between painfull or not as painfull death
Its horrific how hes lost his hand.
but what was more horriffic was when Bellick and his friend were torturing him
Sick
I think the FBI and the authorities that are usually set as the good guys are far worse than anything the escapees could ever do
How they treated CNotes wife and daughter. Sick, even the ones who were just doing their jobs
It gets better every week
glad other people like PB

Seems to me that the people in the white coats are interested in how might Michael escape Sona, which should be interesting to see on our point as well. It's mentioned that 4 people people are going to be in there, we already have Bellick and Michael so I'm assuming the other two would be Mahone and maybe T-Bag? Otherwise, I have no clue who the last one might be.

So far, we know of Michael and Mahone for certain. (Remember Mahone
stepping out of the van just next to the one Michael was being carried in?) Assuming that really was Bellick, then he's in there as well. I'm interested to see who #4 is... T-Bag sounds like a good possibility, since he wasn't released (and
was captured for the same crime as Bellick and Michael), but who knows.

Not quite sure that's Bellick either. We need confirmation, because not one person sure if that's him or not. 
Michael, Mahone, Bellick and T-bag? Seem good to me. Not sure if they'll introduce another major character during season 3. The only major characters introduced during season 2 would be Kim and Mahone. You could count the notepad man, but he didn't have much screen time compare to Kim and Mahone. Likely another would be introduce. Not sure if it will be another ally for Michael in Sona.Did I mention that teaser for Season 3 sucked?

What I think would be really cool is if Kellerman is still alive. We never really saw him get shot. Maybe it was HIS guys who came. Its really only wishful thinking...
I'm thinking they will want to have nothing to do with T-bag. Seeing there in the place they are, they should just gut him ASAP.
What would of made the show really cool also was if Abruzzi never got shot up in the first place. Would of been cool to see the mafia and the company going at it lol.

YUS~!
Watched the first ep of Season 3 a few minutes ago and it was GOOD +___+. T-Bag was the fourth person to be with them! Anyways, the whole things seems to have turned around...
Some random group of people got Michael in there to help get this Whistler guy out
- Who is this Whistler guy? - interesting, seeming as the guy he has to get out is stuck behind another wall X_x;. Linc isn't helping Michael much at the moment to say that it's going to be the other way around from Season 1, but you know.
Sarah's
been caught along with LJ so she hasn't appeared yet which makes sense since she is supposed to be off from awhile. But getting so much from the first ep already makes the rest of the season look promising ^___^. So happy all my drama's are coming back on~!

Prison Break @ Fox On DemandSo, if anyone misses an episode (like I did this last week x.x), you should be able to catch it on there the day after the premiere.
Edit (10/10): Anyone upset, or just curious, about the death of
Sara, this may interest you:
Prison Break Exclusive: The Real Story Behind Sara's Death - Ausiello Report | TV Guide.comI'm just curious myself.
I knew why Sara wasn't present in Prison Break due to being pregnant in real life. Though, if I'm reading this article correctly, her character got killed due to a contract issue, which happened on other series before. So, this isn't that shocking and I speculated that had to be reason why they killed her character off.

H'okay, I'm sure some people here are watching this...
Prison break did come back on last week and I have yet to get tonights >_>. But wow, they fit in quite alot in that one ep!
SPOILERS BEWARE//
Okay, Michael was locked up in a cage outside in the blistering heat for awhile and by hoping to tell the truth he fails in trying to get LJ back.... pretty much the jist but whatever.
Kind of obvious that the new General would die once he said he was going with Gretchen to try and get LJ back. I'm thinking there's alot of teaming up going on, Michael and Lechero, T-Bag and Whistler? Although, I hear things are going to mix around abit in tonights ep (I need to frickin' get it x_x).
Still surprised with the Sarah business... like what the heck! yet again, a female! All that's left is Gretchen now and we all know she's a Bitch >_>.

To be honest, I wasn't even convinced until it was deemed official by Scheuring. I was dead set on it being a decoy to keep Michael and Linc in line, but her scheduling conflicts only intensified, so there you have it, unfortunately. I was skeptical with how they were going to carry on at first, but
Mike putting Gretchen in his crosshairs sits fine by me. Definitely excited to see how it all goes down.

Agreed. Mahone surprisingly seems to be a moral authority as of late, and has been cooperating with Michael much more, and
Lechero's back in power now, with Sammy's dead and gone.
Also,
Gretchen told Sucre that she has Maricruz, so there's another person The Company is bending to its will.
It's definitely been an interesting season so far, even with the unexpected setbacks.

But we don't know if the company knows. It could just be gretchen.

True... she
is constantly searching for any leverage against them. And she's taken drastic measures when her own well-being is threatened, so it really would be no surprise.

Just found some
VERY interesting news about the future of the series.
Of course, that said,
SPOILER ALERT!!!If you'd rather just wait for the show to continue to find out, read no further.

Prison Break Stunner: Sarah Wayne Callies Returns!Prison Break fans, prepare to seriously lose your heads.
Sarah Wayne Callies — whose rather ugly contract dispute with producers led to her apparent decapitation last October — is returning next season. Full-time. As Dr. Sara Tancredi. Head and all. Seriously.
How? Why? When? WTF?! All legitimate questions. Good thing I just hung up with Mr. Answer Man (aka executive producer Matt Olmstead).
So... I take it that wasn't Sara's head in that box....
Matt Olmstead: Yeah, that wasn't.
But initially it was supposed to be her head. What changed?
Olmstead: What changed was.... once we realized that the emotional hook of Season 3 was going to be the death of Sara, when we didn't get the actress to do it, as soon as we wrote it and shot it, we realized that there was actually a way she could still be alive. Lincoln glanced at the head in the box for a split second. That could've been anyone. He wasn't about to pull it up from the hair and inspect it closely. And then we were fairly careful thereafter of references we made to that and who took credit for it and what was seen or heard, and we left it fairly [vague]. But initially when we realized that we never actually saw the character get killed, we just had that knowledge in our back pocket and moved forward with the narrative as we intended. Which was: she's out of the picture, Michael's [feeling guilty] and Lincoln is freaking out because if they did that to her, they could do that to his son. It really gave us a real push for the season.
Don't you think that was a little unfair to the audience — particularly fans of Dr. Sara — to jerk them around like this? They had every reason to believe she was dead.
Olmstead: I don't think it was unfair, because it gave us some real juice storytelling-wise — it put teeth in the antagonists. Obviously they were now capable of killing somebody. It also gave us a couple of episodes where Lincoln withheld the information from Michael, and that gave us conflict with the brothers. But also, what were we really going to do? Were we going to see Sarah Wayne Callies tied to a chair for 13 episodes? And then if she broke free, what is she really doing? It was almost a disservice to that character to keep her around last season. Certainly, we could have put her on a cruise ship and she's off sailing away. But we felt that if we're going to lose that character, why not get the most drama out of it? We didn't look at it in terms of [us] trying to tell the audience to go, you know, do something to themselves.
What role did the fan response to Dr. Sara's death play in her return?
Olmstead: It factored in. It was kind of a confluence of events. We saw on the message boards that a lot of fans were wondering if she really was dead. And then that led to conversations of, "Well, what if she isn't?" But then we put that on the back burner and moved forward with what we had to do, because it wasn't anything that could be dealt with right then. And then when we came back after the strike and we realized that we were not going to finish Season 3... we creatively decided to blow it all out, jump forward in the timeline and get a fresh start. And so, when we pitched that, a lot of those elements remained, but we were still looking for that emotional core for Michael. We were kind of exactly where we were in the beginning of Season 3, which led to her demise, quote unquote. So we went back and revisited [the idea of bringing her back to life]. And once we started talking about it, it was mentioned again that fans are still wondering about her. And when people who are fans of the show — and of Sarah — are asking, "Is she really dead?", what they're saying, essentially, is, "I hope she's not dead." And then it became a kind of groundswell.
But then you have to get the actress to agree to return, which I assume was no easy task given the bad blood that seemed to exist last season.
Olmstead: There wasn't bad blood on our side. It was a business decision. I understood where she was coming from in that she was given a provisional assurance that she was going to be a part of Season 3, but we had to revisit Season 3 a couple of times in the pitch stage in order to get it picked up. Fox was still looking for that emotional hook. Once we came up with the idea of her character going away, that gave us what we needed to push things over the edge. And although we were comfortable with it, she wasn't. I also understand on a personal level how it factored in. She was pregnant at the time and looking forward to giving birth, and this wasn't something she was interested in doing.
What changed for her that she's willing to come back now?
Olmstead: She and I spoke a couple of days ago at length about what we have come up with creatively for her character.... We're jumping ahead a little bit in the timeline. There's a little bit of a mystery period for all of these characters in terms of how they got where they are and what happened to them. And we have some interesting things for her, and she responded to them creatively. We won't just be picking up where we left off with her character. And she won't be a damsel in distress waiting for her hero to return. There are some complicating factors involved with her character and things that she's looking forward to. So we spoke about it, she thought about it, and we made a deal.
No hard feelings, then? Everyone's moving on?
Olmstead: Moving on. She's a very smart lady, and we're all adults here. It was never personal. It was a business and creative decision, and we're absolutely moving on.
Can you say how she'll be reintroduced next season?
Olmstead: It's going to be about figuring out what happened to her during that mystery period [between the end of Season 3 and the start of Season 4], and how she and Michael deal with it.
How much time will have lapsed?
Olmstead: About a month. Enough to jump past expected events that we left hanging at the end of Season 3, answering those things, but also moving forward.
And Sarah is onboard for the entire season?
Olmstead: Yes. Source:
Ausiello Report Blog | TVGuide.comWell hell, I'm certainly excited and intrigued. Anyone else? What're your thoughts?

Sounds good. I watched the last few episodes of the last season, so I got hooked on Prison Break again.

Heck, yes!
I'm so happy Sarah's still alive~! The next season should be good, what with how season 3 ended ^__^. I can't get over LJ's line as well...
LJ: *snigger*
Gretchen: What's so funny?
LJ: You, thinking you can out-smart my uncle.
Lol. I never thought Callies ended with them badly either, I read an interview of hers and she seemed pretty nice about the situation saying that did what they needed for the show and she wanted to look after her baby etc...

All I have to say is I can't wait!
