Prison Break returns.

[eamo1]

It wont be on RTE till next January but starts again on Sky 1 in a few weeks time.I REALLY hope this 4th season is better then the very dissappointing 3rd season.I know some things that will happen in this season and they seem interesting.Obviously from the end of the last season the hunted is now the hunter with Michael chasing Gretchen or whatever her name is to find Sarah.Inside the prison should be interesting too.The offical website has an interesting trailer/teaser clip.
Heres hoping for a return to the cleverness and quick pace of the first 2 seasons.

I don't think the show can recover from the third season to be honest. First two were great but the third was terrible and veered too far from the original storyline

[eamo1]

One thing in the new series will be that we will get to know alot more about "The Company" and the wider conspiracy.Thats the only thing im gonna reveal,dont want to spoil anything else.

weren't they trying to break out of a prison :confused::D

[shakermaker1982]

The third season was horrific, painful to watch at times. The prison was about as intimidating as John O'Shea's tackling. I don't know if you recall but at the end of series 2 when Schofield was walking around the prison in Panama it looked evil - lady boys, druggies, rapists eyeing him up........yet the third series starts and it's a holiday camp!!! I'll give it a go but I have low expectations going in.

I found that odd alright. They even glossed over that Bellick was clearly shown to have been raped at the end of the second season too. In the end if I had to go to prison I wouldn't have minded ending up in that one at all. Plus why did the Company need Schofield to get Whistler out of the jail? They clearly have enough power to just go in and take him

[eamo1]

I rememeber the end of Season 2 alright,looked like Hell on Earth which is what they were going for and then as ye said it turns into a holiday camp.
Remember an episode in Season 3 where they try get whistler out by helicopter from the roof.I was thinking then,why didnt they just do that at the start or try again after it,daw.
I'll give it 4/5 episodes and see how it is.

How do you know all this??

[eamo1]

I know because im IN The Company:rolleyes:.No,i just kept in touch on the offical site and other other sites too over the summer and seen an interview with the girl who plays Sarah.I dont watch much t.v these days,Prison Break is about the only thing i consistently watch so i just made an effort to find out more about it.

[shakermaker1982]

starts tonight........and instead of breaking out they'll be breaking in to a building.

[jebus]

Gonna watch it now, the ads have done their job on me and I'm excited to see where this goes, modern life eh? :rolleyes:

[deecay]

Can someone please post a quick summary of what has happened so far , I have seen about 50% of the episodes and keep meaning to catch up but don't have the time , would like to get an update before starting watching again tonight.

Season One: Michael gets arrested and put in the same prison as his brother to help him escape, his brother has wrongfully been convicted of murdering the vice-president's brother. They assemble a team, including a paedophile, a mafia boss, and a latino looking to get back to his girl and break out of prison with the help of the prison's doctor Sarah, who has taken a shine to Michael.

Season Two: The group splits up and goes on the run. They are followed by an FBI agent named Malone who is secretly working for the corporation that set up Michael's brother, Lincoln. During this season most of the escapees are picked off one by one by Malone, who has been told to kill each and every one of them. All that is left is Michael, Lincoln, T-Bag (the paedo) and Sucre (the Latino). At the end of the seaon Michael, Lincoln, Lincoln's son AJ and Sarah are trying to get out of the continent through Panama. T-Bag, Malone (who the FBI have realised is a rat) and Bellick (the officer in charge of the original prison) have been sent to track them down, queue one big mess at the end as Malone, T-Bag, Bellick and Michael all wind up in a hellhole of a Panamese jail on different charges.

Season Three: We find out Michael was put in the Panama jail for a reason, to get a man called Whistler out. The company has kidnapped Sarah and AJ and threaten to kill them if he can't do it. The jail turns out to be a bit of a holiday camp, not much happens, what does doesn't make any sense, the main parts being Sarah getting her head chopped off by the company and Sucre getting a job at the prison to help Michael. Eventually Michael gets Whistler out, along with Malone, T-Bag and Sucre get stuck inside the prison after T-Bag is caught escaping and points Sucre out as the man who helped Michael escape. The brothers are going to kill Malone and the company but Whistler escapes with his very hot assistant (Jodi Lynn O'Keefe, can't remeber her name in this), and Malone disappears. Michael vows to track down the company and kill them for killing Sarah

[shakermaker1982]

I cannot believe you ignored the mental bloke who tries to sail to Amsterdam in your series 2 summary Jebus!

Good call about O'Keefe though. Babe!

[eamo1]

Bellick is so funny,shouting "mom,mom" like a kid to his mother:).its skipping along at the same pace as season 2 was which is a very good thing.Whistler now dead is a surprise,sarah not being dead isnt.

[max power]

have to say it is written so badly. Ok good story but the script writer should be shot.

but enjoyed last night.

[dublinred]

Thanks for the summary Jebus .

haywire was class alright!!

and as for jodi lyn, i am gonna try everything to make her my wife!!

[lionelhutz]

I've been watching since the start of this series and I'm just trying to get my head round everything. Just a couple of questions;

1. Who is the woman that the big black dude has kept in the prison to try get information off? Is she close to Sarah?

2. How did T-bag end up in the desert at the start of the series and how did he get the job as a big sales executive? I know he's impersonating someone but how did that come about? And why are Michael et al looking for him now?

[shakermaker1982]

Lionel

1) The woman is a member of the 'company'. She kidknapped Sarah and LJ during the third season in order to blackmail Michael and his brother so that they would ensure a character called Whistler escaped from the Panamanian jail. She failed in her mission and the general - (head of the company) got the black dude to torture her and try and extract info from her, thinking about it he might have asked the assassin to kill her? She is a baddie though so don't have too much sympathy!!!

2) T Bag has Whistler's 'bird book' which contained codes etc. Long story..... T Bag the clever chap that he is stumbled upon a locker and has now assumed Whistler's identity. The more I type the dafter it sounds!!!!

[gustavo]

I have to say I'm not bothering watching this season at all :( Was a big fan of the first two seasons and thought last season was fairly ok , But I suppose I could only suspend my disbelief for so long.

[shakermaker1982]

Gustavo it's much better than last year!

Cheers shaker. That eases the confusion a little!!

[eamo1]

That book T-Bag has has codes which will help the gang break in to get SYLLA.Sylla contains all the info about the company including why they framed Lincoln in the first place etc.They need the 6 key cards but they also need the book too with its codes.They are getting the cards now but still need that book.This season IS alot better then the disastrous 3rd season,just try stick with it.Season 1 and 2 were the best by far and i suppose it was going to be hard to keep the show at that high level.
What i want to know is where did that hot latino chick from season 3 go who whistler claimed was his girlfriend.i know he admitted he was using her but i thought her and linc had something going on.BRING HER BACK,SHE WAS HOTTTT:D

I think she was cut along with the rest of Season 3 cause they're just trying to forget it happened tbf. Gretchen aside it really was a waste of everyone's time

[eamo1]

Great episode tonight,the actor who plays Mahone is freakin brilliant.That was such a good episode,best ive seen ina while.

[jebus]

Agreed. I've said it since about half way through season 2 that Mahone is the most interesting character, certainly the most rounded character, and the character who makes you care about him the most. His was the only character that had any sort of devolpment in season 3 and who here doesn't want to see him get the burly black guy?(name escapes me at this moment)

[shakermaker1982]

past two weeks have been excellent - miles better than series 3.

[Keen2win]

I saw yesterdays episode which was good but I'm a bit confused as to whats happening because I missed the double bill last week! Anyone care to fill me in Im looking at it on RTE so no spoilers please:)

[eamo1]

Its hard to fill you in and not spoil it,thats a contradiction of terms.Decent episodes lately.One MASSIVE twist in tonights episode with a good ending too.Linc could be back to where he was at the very first episode of the show.
But you still cant shake the feeling as your watching that the writers are just making it up as they go along now,its been that way for the last 2 seasons.

[eamo1]

Anyone else see the final episode of it last night on Sky One?Or am i the only one still watching it?:).It tied up all the loose ends as a final episode should do,did nothing else though.4th season had more twists then a bad Connemara road and you got the impression the writers were making it up as they went along.First 2 seasons were excellent.3rd was muck.4th was meh!

[shakermaker1982]

Season 4 started off ok but went downhill fast. I was praying Holly Valance would reprise her role as a stripper in the final episode but was left disappointed!
