Shakermaker1982, if you REALLY want to know what's in the ***, you can read the episode transcript for ep.4 on the official Prison Break website http://www.fox.com/prisonbreak/

Go to episodes and second paragraph reveals all...

Anybody know why it's off air again on RTE?

[Maz]

Would it have anything to do with Sky being behind us with it? Did hear this but not so sure...rubbish Tuesday night without it

[shakermaker1982]

How many episodes are you ahead on RTE? This bloody writers strike means we'll only get 13 episodes :(

[Maz]

I think last night they were on the one where Michael is in the solitary confinement in the middle of the yard. I didnt watch it so I'm not 100% sure

No wait scrap that we are ahead of that, I watched that 2 weeks ago. That was the one that was on Sky last night. There was no episode on RTE last night.


Jeez I'm confusing myself now

[gilberto_eire]

There was no episode on in the states too, I'm rarely home when there on telly so watch them online and a new episoode was'nt added to the site.
Went checking forums to find out why and i saw something about an address to the ''House of Representitives'' in America that happens in january every year!!

EDIT: Decided not to be so lazy and get the proper facts..... State.of.the.union: The State of the Union is an annual message which the President of the United States gives to Congress, usually an address to a joint session of Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate). It has occurred in January (except for six occasions in February) since 1934. Sometimes, especially in recent years, newly-inaugurated Presidents have delivered speeches to joint sessions of Congress only weeks into their respective terms, but these are not officially considered State of the Union addresses. The address is also most frequently used to outline the President's legislative proposals for the upcoming year. For these reasons, a State of the Union address is generally not given in years in which a new president is inaugurated.

Only 13 episodes in this series due to the writers strike. I doubt they could have written any more, they seem to be running out of ideas anyhow.

I was a big fan of the first two series but this one has gone off the boil alright. I'm sick to the teeth of the Corporation, and is it just me or is the jail they are in not that bad at all? Remember the end of the 2nd series where the place looked like Hell and was supposed to be Hell?

I can't believe some one gets paid to write Prison Break. I also can't believe I am still sort of watching it.

It's like a holiday camp now. This series has gone off the boil. The worst thing they could have done was take Theodores hand off . I thought he was the star of the first two series but has been basically rendered useless now.

yep it looked scary as hell with all those lady boys and drug addicts. It has been very poor this series and I'm starting to lose interest. Even T Bag is looking bored.

[shakermaker1982]

God it's getting worse.....poor episode last night.

[pete]

I am done. Watched my last episode of Prison Break & I even liked series 2.

Words fail me to describe how bad series 3 is. No plot, crap script, worse acting. Says it all that one character prefers to have her head cut off than come back for this series.

Pretty much sums it up for me to be honest

[gustavo]

I enjoyed the last episode! Sure it's ridiculous and the acting isnt the best but its great no brainer entertainment IMO

It was always brain dead entertainment but it doesn't even have ridiculous twists now, nothing happens & not even half decent conspiracy to keep it going...

That actress (was she Nash Bridges's daughter?) is woeful. :eek:

[shakermaker1982]

Sky 1 are up to the bit where they are just about to escape.....once again it was a **** episode. Did they rush these episodes through because of the writers strike was looming? Series 1 was outstanding, series 2 was decent enough and had its moments but this series is crap. The new characters offer nothing new and I cannot see how they'll string this out for another 2/3 seasons.

They're not seriously gonna try and get another 2/3 seasons out of this are they? I thought if they ended it at season 2 with Michael, Sarah, AJ and Lincoln getting away, the Asian corporation guy dead, Sucre with his wife, and Mahone, Bellick and T Bag all gone down it would have been perfect

[Aberdonian Stu]

From the way the show has developed I get the impression that when they conceived it they had a good idea about what they wanted to do with season one and very vague one about season two but not Chris Carter style mega-arc which isn't necessarily a bad things a mega-arcs tend to run into problems, which Carter's certainly did with the X-Files.

The problem is that with a concept like the one Prison Break is built around you're pretty much left with two choices, either have a mega-arc or be pure nonsense within a few seasons. The latter seems to have won out.

The longest I've seen a mega-arc run without getting into major problems was 3 seasons (based on US 22 episode length season, 10 and 13 episode season shows can keep it together longer), and when that actually happens the writers tend to thank their lucky stars and begin building a new one straight after. Look at shows like Lost where they have a crazy mega-arc in place, they had to cut the tail off the final 3 seasons (the current and the next two) in order to pull it together.

[jebus]

I actually enjoyed last night's episode, but if they have to break back in to the prison to get T-Bag and Sucre out then I'm switching off

[jebus]

Enjoyed the last episode of the current series there, thought it sparked a bit of life back into the series, so hopefully this season goes down as a blip and they get back to form next time around. Some changes they have to make though, get rid of Bellick, he's served his purpose, ditto Sucre and the evil girl(Jodi Lyn Keefe), have it solely about Michael chasing Whistler and Mahone for the first few episodes and bring in T-Bag through Whistler's book about halfway through the series, leading up to Lincoln coming back to help out around the same time. Then I would finish it at the end of the next series and it might still go down as a very good show, they do need a Lost style return to form though

[deecay]

have it solely about Michael chasing Whistler and Mahone
Its the 'evil girl' he wants,bring T-bag into it somehow,hes the best character

[shakermaker1982]

I don't think it can be saved :( Who ever wrote the scripts for series 3 needs putting down. Woeful.

[eamo1]

that actress who played her had to leave as she is preganent.also that young guy from season 1 who helped them escape(i forget his name but mahone shot him dead beside a black car),he killed somebody in a trafffic accident in real life and hes just got a 40 month prison sentence.so they had to write him out of it too.i thought he was a good actor.
its poor now compared to the first season but its the only thing i watch on t.v these days as most is just that reality crap so ill watch it again when it returns.
