Great show with a Great Start. I am just curious what happens after they break out of prison. Can you still call the show prison break or would you have to call it something else. Imean if the people on LOST were ever found why would you still call the show LOST? They are supposed to make a break for it on the next episode in a couple of weeks. The brother has a very elaborate plan and it will be interesting to see what goes wrong. i don't know if Fox thought his show o uld do well going up againsy Las vegas, which is another great show. It will be a hit though and I realyl hope they make it out of the prison alive.

I still enjoy the show, but I'm getting a little bored with it.
Every week it seems the same. Lawyer girl and Lawyer guy are threatened (at least this time they were almost killed, eh?) while in prison there appears to be some insurmountable obstacle that needs to be vaulted and vaulted right quick if the 'plan' is to stay on schedule. The 'L.J.' storyline was a nice addition, but I just don't know where they can go with it right now. Good show, just getting a little too repetitive for my tastes

Still watching. I heard that the actor who plays Michael was an office temp for a while. On the day of the casting, a lot of the people there reconized him as the guy from the copier. And that gang just keeps growing. Everyone has their reasons for getting out/being in the group. Do you guys think they'll break out by the end of the first season?

I think they're going to leave a cliff-hanger and leave the actual break-out for the beginning of next season. That way, the show can be about them being on the run on the outside and all the repercussions for Veronica and the kid... not to mention all the drama of the escapees trying to reunite with loved ones while staying under the radar. There will probably be a lot of political nonsense involving the VP as well. What else could they throw our way?

Nov 28 is supposed to be the season finale...
q: If they are in the house in the woods where the lawyer's father was "off the grid" how do they have electricity for the TV and laptop? How did they have internet for IM? and obviously the mapped IP IM trace was just bunk in and of itself to get that guy over to them in short order.

Nov 28?!
a: it's annoying when we have to come up with our own answers to these quietions. Like, for example, what the hell happened at the end of the last Matrix. It seems they would have a genarator for power. And a cell phone can provide wireless internet. It would have been cool if there was at least a 2 second sence where all that was mentioned. Oh well. And as far as the mapped IP IM trace, let's just say the assasin has access to "military" technology, and leave it at that.

from what I can gather here, it seems like the orginal order was for 14 episodes. Broadcast seasons are 23-24 episodes and cable cycles are generally 13 episodes. I wonder if they were originally slated to be on FX and then test audiences gave it good ratings so it was moved to broadcast. yes the office season finale from what I've read is Nov. 28.

Interesting turn of events. Looks like the chain gang is too long and one of them will be voted off soon. Wonder if one of them will wind up dead...

One question I have is, do these guys ever eat? As far as I can remember there has not been a single "mess hall" scene.

The good news is that Tony may survive though. I was expecting him to leave in a bodybag but he was alive in the helicopter.
Why the hell would the good secret service guy not have his weapon drawn! He knew his partner and knew how ruthless he would be. He also shoulda handed the envelope over knowing that he might be killed and the killer would at least be taken down. Oh well. Its gonna be a long wait untill spring!

Saw the finale. Should have just waited 'til March.
I also downloaded an episode of InFANity that featured Prison Break. Hosted by news hottie, Lisa Joyner, they took a tour of the prison (she held on to T-Bag's pocket!!), mentioned that parts of it appeared to be haunted, and the addmission that the tatoos are kind of sticky.

So who's been watching the last few episodes? My wife and I have and we're as addicted to ever to this show.
I'm glad that Tony is back, I figured he would be, he's an awesome character. The boss finding the hole at the end was kinda suprising, I wonder how they pull off the escape next week..... Apparently its been renewed for another season as well!

I like this show just barely enough to keep watching it. I approve of the social message it's trying to send, anti-death penalty and the problem with our corrections system, but it's waaaay to heavy-handed and the conspiracy theory is simply convoluted and silly. That said, I like the characters and I think the dynamic of the escaping group is interesting. Every week I say to myself, I'm not going to watch this show anymore, but by the end of the episode they've done just enough to keep my interest, so that's not a bad thing.

I like the show a lot. I started watching to fill the void back when 24 wasn't on, and I've just kept watching.
I think it would be interesting if Bellick didn't find the hole in the floor because that kid sent him to the wrong room. Michael said he needed to know if he could trust him, so maybe he told him the wrong room on purpose. Sort of like with the cellphone and Sucre in the earlier episodes. It probably won't happen that way, but I don't see how they could escape otherwise, since they would get locked up right away if Bellick found the right hole. -Tamerlain

This was what immediately came to my mind, within 60 seconds of Bellick finding that hole I woulda thought all the guys on the PI team would be in solitary for a very long time. I didnt really think about the possibility of him being sent to a wrong room, but that can't be the case because if I remember correctly Bellick held up a piece of wood right at the end - the wood being a piece of the plaque they were using to cover up the hole.

I tuned into every episode up until March when I realized they aren't going to escape this week or next and I lost interest. I don't really like being strung along like that. I kind of think they won't escape any time soon since the life of the show will be just about over then. But then I haven't watched it since the second episode in march so I have no idea whats going on. So, yeah, I'm bitter about them not escaping and the show always making it look like this week is it. boooo.

So who watched last nights episode? Things are definately underway and they have certainly built up a ton of suspense.
Spoiler: Michael going in and threatening the Pope with the shank really suprised me, thats showing signs of desperation and straying from the plan which is not what Michael usually does. I can't wait to see next weeks episode.

In the episode a couple of weeks ago where they showed how all of the main players ended up in prison they showed the doctors back story. She was a doctor in a hospital that had a drug and alcohol problem. When she was unable to help a dying person at the side of the road because of her addictions she entered rehab and went into the prison system as an act of repentence. (maybe I'm reading more into it ) I forgot to add in my post previously that I like the end of the show where all of the escapee's had a few moments to reflect on why they wanted to get out of prison. Untill I saw T-Bags, his was creepy!

Yeah, I was really surprised by this newest episode... After last week's ending, with Bellick finding the hole, I really thought this week was going to be really, really stupid with trying to explain how they got away anyway, but it wasn't... putting Bellick underground and threatening Pope with a shank... well, I bought it. Ate it up in fact. I'm definitely going to keep giving this show a chance, even if I don't think it's the best thing on TV....
