Finally back tonight.
Of course they still have the rest of the spring to break out so I don't see anyone getting outside the walls tonight.
The big question is will anyone care after such a long layoff?
Networks have given breaks to popular shows before, but for a hot show in its first season was this a wise move?
I'm not saying I liked it, but Commander-In-Chief was hot for ABC but then I believe they blew it by taking a couple of long breaks. Will the same happen for Prison Break? We'll find out tonight. But having 24 as a lead out won't hurt any.

I was just going to look for the old thread to give it a bump.
I am ready for this show to be back. Looking forward to tonight.

Again, this show is MASTERFUL at cliched suspense. I was on the edge of my seat the entire episode, and I felt like the scenes leading up to the death chamber were well acted by the two brothers, and I just don't see a way out of it! There are no real "waiting surprises" that could happen, everyone seems resigned to failure, and the acting is done so convincingly that you really don't feel like there's any hope at all of a rescue.
What I'm actually hoping for is this: right now I hope that there IS no escape. I mean, we all want the good guys to win, but I get the feeling that anything that happens now (if there's a surprise escape) short of an execution and failuer is going to be a severe cop-out. It might be a feel-good moment, but if they introduce some new angle, I just don't know if I'll be able to accept it after all the tedious build-up work they had to do in order to get this far.
In short, the show is still good, and was worth the wait. I gotta say I'm impressed with Fox for airing this show, which could have easily been a tremendous flop.

i am absolutely riveted now... this show was out of sight and out of mind for the months of layoff it had... but what a great episode last night... what a great way to have the governor call at the last minute... what a fantastic episode... i am definitely not missing an episode till this thing is finished... i am enjoying it more than 24 and Lost this year....

so this week's episode wasn't as spectacular as the prior, but still great...
the future is wide open... will the girl turn him in or not?
the bonding of the old man and the black guy was a nice lesson for both, a good scene...
wondering if the guy that got his neck slashed survived or not, is he gonna come back around in the show?

Still loving this show. It's funny, you know that they're not going to get caught...yet, that would kill the show, but every moment that they might is still suspenseful. That speaks to some good writing a very solid acting.
The first season was damn good, I just hope the second can live up to it.

FYI, Michael Scoffield lives in Lake Michigan. The address at the top of his resume (440 West Ardmore) doesn't exist.
I thought they went way too hard to humanize all the cons, although you could easily choose not to believe T-Bag's "redemption."

His apt. looked to be North Loop, but Ardmore is North of Bryn Mawr, isn't it? Pretty sure it terminates at the lake at about 1000 W.
I thought they went way too hard to humanize all the cons, although you could easily choose not to believe T-Bag's "redemption."
The only story that was slightly not believable was the one of the ex-soldier. He comes across as far more criminal during episodes. Otherwise, the humanization of the characters can act to tie you to them a bit more, and it may or may not present them as more than just their crimes.

Don't think I've ever watched a show that has kept me as rivited as Prison Break seems to.

Last night's episode was quite good and I'm looking forward to the big season finale.
And last night set up what will play a big part of Season 2. Criminals on the run trying to get the loot.

Wow Prison Break is 10 times better than The Sopranos Season 6.
That's all I have to say.

Prison Break is a great show.
Don't think I saw this mentioned:
Fox announced that it will produce a series of two-minute mobisodes--teeny TV episodes for mobile phones--that complement the plot of the hit save-my-brother-or-bust drama Prison Break.
The 26-installment serial, Prison Break: Proof of Innocence, introduces the character Amber McCall, who works feverishly to clear her friend L.J.--son of the wrongly convicted Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Pursell)--after L.J. is framed for murder. Webisode producers were allowed complete access to the show's location, filming many of the exterior shots at the deserted Illinois prison that stands in for Prison Break's Fox River State Penitentiary.
Proof of Innocence will be available for free exclusively to Sprint customers for viewing on SprintTV's Fox station starting this week. In two weeks they will be available on Toyota.com.
The first four episodes are on the Toyota (http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/minisite/yaris/prisonbreak/) site now. Check it out if you can't get enough Prison Break. Pretty cool.
