We only need the boys, Sucre will live and C-Note will live. T-Bag gives us our only badguy in the series, so I can't really see many more dying except Tbag at the end of season 2.
But they're bringing up other characters like Sarah, Bellick, Kellerman, Mahone as part of the main cast, so it's all good. With the current gang of four running around and we have our two police chasing it's all good.
I see us currently going through with these 4 strands for the rest of the next 2 seasons.
Haywire was just slap since they never really knew what to do with him... the only reason he escaped was they had to get him in the 2nd half of the first season to make a few more twists and turns.
I'd say they're planning well ahead. Either they're going to resolve the murder angle by the end of season 2 and have another thing pop up but I'd say that basically says something MASSIVE will happen at the end of this season.Regarding the future of the series, executive producer Paul Scheuring says, "With success comes questions about season three, so now we’re framing the first two seasons as chapter one of the ‘trilogy’.
And they've done really well considering it was only supposed to be a 6 part miniseries which ended during the riot. Then again at the mid-season finale and now they're going ahead really well.
This is one of my two favourite shows on tv right now.
Yep, it's an awesome show, and Season 2 has been a lot better than Season 1 (which was good in its own right).
Last half of season 1 laid a hell of alot of backstory which was a tad boring but necessary for the long term life of the show.
I think season 1 and season 2 are different animals. Season 1 was insular, isolated, gritty and very dark. The second season was much more expansive, had a whole new slate of characters and a whole new plot- they're no longer just trying to get out of a prison, they're trying to uncover and evade a national conspiracy. Also, the other prisoners all have their own subplots that are no longer connected. It's a far cry from season 1 where they were all working to accomplish one goal and nothing else.
I prefer season 1, actually, because the focus was so concentrated that it brought out the beauty in the plot and the creativity that went into making that prison break work. Michael was the sole focus, his genius and plan making is what captivated the audience. You never knew what his next move was, even though he's planned it for years.
Now though it's much more random and chaotic. While that's certainly very good, it leaves the pieces more scattered and less emphasis on any one plot thins them out a little. Not to say season 2 hasn't been amazing, it has.
Half the fun is trying to figure out where Michael is going and which side Paul is on.
I think Kellerman's finally made up his mind on where he's going. After the shit Kim tried to pull, I can't see how he can possibly trust that the President or the Company will take him back in.
They've done a marvelous job though of enhancing the value of this 'key'. They could have easily let the pay off come through by explaining it was 2 or 3 episodes after introducing it, but they just keep on making you wonder what it's for. Great plot direction.
I still have no fucking clue even with the key how they're going to take down the president as whatever they do they have the entire might of the government and secret service against them. They can almost discredit everything. The only way is to catch out the President live on television in my eyes. Unless the key unlocks some brilliant piece of information.
I'll officially be worried if, in season three, they all go to college.
Another super episode:
"Brad Bellick. I'm with the bureau."
Watched the frist 5 episodes in the UK, good stuff it's still sucking me right this show. I like it better than the start of season 1.
I will proberly download were the Yanks are up to and watch those.
Can I assume that the rest of you have lost a bit of interest in the show?
I miss Michael using his tattoos to guide them. It was always intriguing.
It's hard for the tattoos to guide him when he's so far from his original plan. I believe he'll return to it someday when this bit has been resolved.
I still follow it closely. Tbag and Cnote's actions were
I have to agree. TBag and C-Note's stories are absolutely captivating. I'm curious as to what is on the tape, but we all know the general summary of what will be on it. Likely the president discussing her involvement and the coverup
They're doing well at finishing old stories (CNote) but starting new ones (Paul on the run, & Cnote now changing roles)
T-Bag is brilliant Bless him. Also love C-Note so will be difficult for me to see him as a 'bad guy.' Good old Sucre too.
Only poor old Kellerman stopped this being a real feel-good ep.
Kellerman used the Nuremberg defense. I won't ever feel bad for someone saying that they were killing people only because they were following orders. However, when he shot Mahone, I truly accepted him as a sympathetic character. I actually thought that after the choking, Sarah would have gotten over her hangups with Kellerman based on the good of everyone, especially after seeing how useful he is.
Sucre finally got his woman. I was happy for him, but not as much as I thought I would be after so long. We didn't see enough of either character for us to truly desire them being together.
Did I miss what happened to LJ?
No, he was moved after the start of this season and a few weeks ago they pulled his name from the regular cast list.
So they didn't even bother to write a story explaining his absence despite Lincoln being so adamant about going back to get him?
Naw, I think they basically showed that it'd be too difficult. However they may do something later to retcon the storyline since it is fairly open and unexplained.
Well, they've basically confirmed there will be a Season 3. The previews said something to the effect of "the last 3 episodes of the season."
So, there's a Season 3 I guess, they just need to confirm it. My question is...the show is called Prison Break, unless they rename the show, it looks like (IMO) someone will end up in jail.
Also, is it just me or is Sara getting fat? She had monstrous boobies tonight.
I don't think they need to change the name of the show. Sure, it's not based in the prison anymore, but they are still fugitives. I think changing the name of the show on the third season would be more stupid than just keeping it how it is.
Season 3 should be the last season too. I was thinking they'd wrap it up this season, but it seems not. I know this show is probably the best on TV right now, but if they try to drag it out too long I think it could go sour. One more season should do it.
Fantastic episode this week too.
Six seasons? Wow, that's a bit much. Where'd you hear that?
I'm loving it at the moment, but I can't see how they could drag it out that long.
I'd say that means 6 seasons. But I'd say Three will be some kind of fresh start in some way, maybe restarting with Cnote or something.IFmagazine
Their ultimate escape sounds pretty final but that is far from the truth, especially after a breakthrough season one. “The idea was always that it was going to be a 44-episode narrative and the halfway point was going to be the escape, which was the end of season one,” Scheuring says. “With success comes questions about season three, so now we’re framing the first two seasons as chapter one of the ‘trilogy’”
I think six seasons is a bit too long for this show, especially since they seem to have been killing people off.
I think that it can be wrapped up nicely with one more season.
To me 4 seasons is pushing it. They have the story all set up for season 3. I don't want it to end though, it's one of the best shows on T.V.
Personally I think that they could potentially end the story with this season. I'm realizing that I ultimately just want the story to end at this point. We've changed president's twice over the course of a year, a lot of the main and intriguing characters have died including Tweener, Haywire, Abruzzi, Robin Tunney's character, the lawyer and Danny. The main villian who I wanted to see get his in the end has become a good guy that is helping out the brothers. Mahone is becoming a good guy. Kim has already shown that he is nowhere near being a powerful threat, and the most powerful opponent to the brothers just stepped down from her position of power. The only person the brothers are supposed to fear now is the quiet guy that writes on paper who isn't nearly as intriguing as they wish he was.
That's what's kept the show going, the changes in dynamic and the twists which remain plausible. If it was still Kellerman and Mahone chasing the brothers, it'd be boring, but they've given both characters depth.The main villian who I wanted to see get his in the end has become a good guy that is helping out the brothers.

I must admit I was surprised at last week's ending; I expected Kellerman to kill the president as she was making the announcement. Kim not powerful? Oh no, he's got no power. He only forced the president to resign/risk the tape being released.
She was also their only chance of absolution. She wasn't only their most powerful opponent, but their best potential ally. You can bet the new president won't be manipulated.and the most powerful opponent to the brothers just stepped down from her position of power.
I think a third series is the way to go, and no more - at least for the brothers. Lincoln got annoying after about 2 episodes and I don't think I can take much more of his tough guy act.
6 series? That's a lot, innit? They'd need to be recaptured and have to escape again to make that happen, I'd say, and another escape? I dunno. It would have to radically shift focus (onto someone else) to work. The Wire did it fine, so...
Another escape wouldn't make sense. They have already escaped twice (Season 1 finale and Winter Half Season 2 Finale) and the dynamic that made the escape so exciting was the planning that Michael put into things and his way of using his tattoos as a blueprint for the escape.
Awesome season finale.
Is it a possibility though that
Can anybody tell me the episode after where they get caught again 'cause that was the last one I saw!!!
Season 2, episode 12 is where they get recaptured at the end. (According to Wiki)
The big study bit ending just reeks of crapness to me.
You mean besides killing Kim.
Self defense, easily
I thought it was a bit weird, too. However, there wsa always those dead henchmen, and I personally wouldn't be too sure of turning myself in.
I would've used my big ol' boat to get away.
Did anyone notice that as Michael walked through Sona, that it was Bellick who was lying on the floor all battered and bruised. I didn't think it was obvious, but l just checked again and its definitely Bellick. I think the guy standing over him will probably have a role in the next series.
Last episode tomorrow in the UK
Season 3 cant wait, the trailer is superb.
Interesting to see how this season goes.
Pretty good start to the season that. Wasn't sure where they'd go after the season finale but a few nice stories have been set up already. The end was fairly obvious I thought but it'll probably lead to something cool.
I just hope this season doesn't go completely conspiracy nuts. Obviously there has to be some of that but I think I said when season 2 ended that it wasn't too far off going the same way that X-Files did - having too many ridiculous plot twists.
I pretty much hope the break itself is at least the half the season and most likely 16-18 episodes.
Sure he supposedly has a week, but that date can always be moved easily if they see that Mikey is making a fair amount of progress. I mean why place such a silly figure when he really should have no time limit (realitically, since we know the time limit is a tvish type thing).
But considering how the last season started to fall away with too much padding it's good to see the show pick up again with a strong story and freshness it didn't have for at least the last quarter of season 2.
