Anyone like Prison Break? If so, why? If not, why? Who are your favourite characters?

I like the show because it's like a mix of Lost and a good action movie. Also, it maintains intelligence as well as action-packed plot twists and good character development.

Each episode has a puzzle in it too, which is solved for you sometime later in the episode. Sometimes I figure them out, but mostly I don't catch them. For example, on the episode in which you find out Charles Westermoreland is really D.B. Cooper, an airline hijacker, Charles denies it. But you can figure out from his aliby that he's actually lying.

Unforunately, characters tend to be killed off right, left and center, more so than Lost. So my favourite characters have to be constantly adjusted due to this. Some of my favourites (both former and current) are Michael, Abruzzi, Sucre and Charles.

So, as I said, post your thoughts on the show. This is supposed to be like Rye's thread for Lost: continuing comments about the latest episodes.

I adore Prison Break, bought the whole first season on DVD, i'd have to say the last episode is my fav cause they are still on the run.

My favourite characters have to be Michael Scofield (duh!), Lincoln Burrows, T-Bag, Abruzzi and Charles. Its such a great programme and keeps you hooked till the end.

Cant get enough of it, roll on season 2!

I've seen every episode, and although I liked the 1st season better, the 2nd season is good too.

Note: Anyone remember when Michael said something like "If we ever get split up, we can communicate safely through "europeangoldfinch.net"? Well, http://europeangoldfinch.net/. If you enter and go to "US Southwest Sighting???" topic, check out the post by FISH 40. It says "Bolshoi Booze 6/4". Bolshoi Booze was part of Michael's tattoo.

I can't stand T-Bag. He's the kind of character most people love to hate... either that, or people get a kick out of his schemes.

Now that he has the money, I hate him even more. But he's been caught by Belick... I wonder if Belick will get the money now?

It hasn't arrived yet? What a shame! I can tell you that it's excellent so far and that you'll really like it. Just be prepared for some really sad deaths... this season is full of them so far. Also, I have good news for you, if you want to hear it... but I'll put it in spoilers.

They're still on the run. They didn't get caught. Since you enjoyed the episode when they were escaping, I thought you would want to know that

This show was awesome last year. The best show on TV. But once they broke out of prison, it was sort of like, ok, now what? It's not as good now but I'll still watch it because it's better than most shows on nowadays. I don't know if it will last.

They need to somehow get caught and go back to prison so they can break out again. The scheming and level of detail Michael went through was amazing, but now he's out, and it's getting past the point that he planned to.

My favorite character is Michael because he is a genius.

Personally I did find Season 1 a little better, but I still really like Season 2. To me it's an interesting direction to explore and so far it's being done very well.

What do I think of Prison Break? I like it but I don't want it to go on like 5 seasons. I can deal with 3 but after that it starts to get a bit too out of hand.

Since they broke out of prison the time line has been a complete fuck up. People get to other sides of the country in the matter of a few hours. Last time I checked the airports don't move that fast and cars don't either.

Bellick's accomplice has T-bag's money now! This really sucks! It was one thing for T-bag to have it - that was bad enough - but a corrupt prison guard? Damn.

Now the Bolshoi Booze I was talking about comes into play somewhere, it was revealed to be both part of Michael's tattoo, and the writing on the paper Michael gave to Sucre. I'm still unsure of its significance, but my best guess is that it corresponds to numbers either upside down or backwards, and is most likey latitude/longitude coordinates of some sort.

Oh my gosh, I thought this show was on hiatus for three weeks? I watch today and it's like there have been 3 episodes! I'm so lost now. :(

It was on a one-week hiatus in October, I beleive, but it's been back for several episodes.

It was. The play offs ended a couple weeks ago. They started the new episodes up during the world series(not play offs :D)

The world series counts as playoffs! Arghhh :mad2: :mad2:

Anyway, I'll just download the ones I missed.

The latest episode's showdown with Michael and the FBI agent was drawn out terribly. What happened in one episode could have happened in a quarter to a half of an episode, and much more could have filled in the rest of it. I was dissapointed with the show for the first time ever.

Fox.com has the last three episodes free to watch if anyone (like me) has missed some.

I tried watching them on Fox, Del, but then it asked me to install something, and then after it wouldn't work. It just said loading, had some ads, and then didn't work.

It's OK, though, I've seen all those episodes, I was just going to watch them again.

Worked fine for me. Try it using another browser or something.

Oh no, Sarah's being tortured. I hope they don't kill her off!

No way. Kellerman has a soft spot for her and he has been getting very aggrivated with "The Company". I have been waiting for that line to be drawn with him so that he turns and finally does what he wants. Seeing as how Lincoln and his Dad have just met up with Michael, I think they will be meeting up with Sarah soon enough and will start to unravel everything. As Mikey said in the 2 week preview 'Today we stop running'.

That's good to hear Ed. I know that Kellerman has being struggling with the contrasts of his inner kindness and the orders of his superiors, but still, I think he might actually go through with it. :(

Even though, when they usually set up these big cliffhangers, it all turns out OK.

Usually if a character is about to die in a cliffhanger, they manage to survive for the next episode.

Vincent, Thunder God

My point exactly. :)

I just have this terrible feeling his might be an exception, though.
