Prison Break

Post by Intricacy »

Anyone else keep up with this show? This show went downhill after the first season, but last night's series finale was very good!

I only watched the first season. It was pretty good, but from what I hear it gets worse. I think it was an awesome idea for one, maybe two seasons, but they wanted to squeeze more out of it. Again, I haven't seen the later seasons, so who knows.

I personally enjoyed s1 and s2 the most, s3 was bad and s4 was only somewhat entertaining, I did really enjoy the series finale though.

Watched the series finale last night, really enjoyed it. I thought bringing back a lot of the old characters was a nice touch and we got some closure on everyone. I was shocked by the ending though.

SPOILERS

Most of season 4 was okay, good for something to watch when you had time to kill. The finale was good, reminded me more of what Season 1 was like. I really didn't like the ending though. The show was done and they basically added "btw Scofield died from the medical condition he was cured of". I think the finale didn't originally have that in, and when they found out they were canceled they decided to throw that in.

They are making a direct to dvd movie called Prison Break: The Final Break that is about Gretchen breaking out of Panamanian prison, that is due out this summer. It could be interesting, but probably won't be.

Well actually this was just the last 2 episodes of the series that Fox decided to not air and sell direct to dvd. The IMDB description is totally wrong, Sarah for some reason didn't get cleared for murdering Scofield's mother, and it is about everyone else trying get her out. It has aired in foreign countries already so you can download it online.

Season 1 = 5/10
Season 2 = 8/10
Season 3 = like a fucking 2/10

I thought the first season was pretty ridiculous, but that was mostly a result of the prisoners basically having unrestricted access to one another at all times in a maximum security prison. Once they were out of the prison, and into season 2, I thought it was pretty cool, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm about halfway into season 3 now, and it just seems like complete shit comparatively. :(

Season 3 is in fact very bad, Aus. It picks up significantly in Season 4, but still isn't as good as Season 2.

This show was not worth the time it took me to watch it :(

edit *** SPOILERS ***

lol at Michael randomly dying for no reason? What the fuck was that? It cuts from like, him and Sara on the beach talking about raising their child to getting the gang back together 4 years later to visit Michaels grave.

I cheated and skipped around in the movie thing and saw that he didn't really die, though, but wtf? How many people have been miraculously resurrected throughout the course of this show? This is actually worse than when Heroes introduced the whole "put Claires blood into a dead body and they come back" shit because this is just totally illogical and unpredictable :(
