Anyone watching this? Love this show - of course Wentworth Miller makes it ever so easy to watch. ;-)

However, now we have to wait until March?!?!?! - sigh. I hate television.

Yeah, I caught that too. Wonder exactly what his "medical" issue is.

Lost is on tonight, so another puzzle to work on. ;-)

This is going to sound sadistic, but I want FOX to show T-Bag pulling his hand off to get free. I'd be completely satisfied with another episode of him looking for another doctor to sew his hand back on.

oh yea, that is definitely where they are going with this. the ongoing torture of T-Bag has been one of the all-time sickest moments on regular network television.

I'm glad Scofield got away. I can't wait for the 1/22 episode for when they pickup on the T-Bag storyline. Oh is that going to be good.

Could Michael Scofield escape from Jack Bauer and stay out of his custody for a 24 hour period?

Prison Break returns tonight.

The guy who plays T-Bag was on Regis & Kelly this morning. He is nothing like T-Bag thank God. The character voice he does is made up. He actually taught himself how to talk that way for this part. In case anyone is curious he is not gay and if he is, it's not openly gay. He's married with two kids. They surprised him with a picture of his 4 year old son and he actually got all teary eyed.

They originally wanted T-Bag to be some 240 behemoth, but then this guy went into the auditions and blew him away.

He also admitted to not knowing what a "T-Bag" was until he took the part. The reference was lost on Regis, but Kelly seemed to know what was up.

LOL!

I can't wait. Prison Break and 24 back to back is the best night of the week. When you add that to AI, Fox has some of the best shows on TV. Fox has come a long way in a relatively short period when you think about how long there were only three networks.

The previews have him turning himself in tonight. I'm trying to figure out how that must be a ploy or something. Obviously they aren't going to get to South America or wherever and end up happily ever after or anything, but I would like them to eventually evade the police and have to constantly be on the lookout and have to keep moving. Obviously they haven't had one day to "settle" anywhere to try and figure anything out. He may just be trying to trun himself in to save the doctor. We shall see.

I totally agree. Taking it one step further I believe Monday night is the best night of TV for the week.

On my DVR tonight I'll have How I Met Your Mother, Prison Break, Two & A Half Men, and 24 going. I can't think of any other night with that level of quality on television.

as for Prison Break, we get a new character tonight in a prisoner who torments Bellick. he's played by the guy who was not only Office Linebacker Terry Tate in the legendary Super Bowl Commercials, but also a former pro wrestler who went by the name Rasta The Voodoo Man,

I'll actually get most of it watched tonight by 11 or so. I can watch How I met at 8:00 then swith to Prison Break and catch up with that as I skip all the commercials, then switch back to the class etc. and by skipping all the 4 min commercials and end show stuff, there will prob be just one show tonight I don't get to see. I love Dish Netwrok's Dual DVR. Wouldn't trade it.

I still watch Prison Break week in and week out. It's funny you bring up Lost in the same breath as Prison Break. I think both shows are outstanding, yet they share the same problem.

It seems to me that things are being dragged on because the shows got to be much more popular than what the original creators thought they'd be. I love the concept of both shows but just how long can they keep at it?

I think Mahone has been a pretty good addition to the cast. I just wonder how long the writers can keep Scofield on the run without making the show stale.

from the beginning, it was said Lost was to be about 5 seasons, Prison Break about 3. i bet those stick.

although, honestly, Prison Break does have a lot of possibilities, because after Linc and Michael are exonerated, they can go do battle with The Company!!!

Anyone else catch at the end that weirdo guy walked into a science lab and his coworker made the comment like, "You know Scofield is going to break out. It's in his blood."

Looks like the series could take an interesting turn.

Yeah I don't get that at all. SONA is crap. The whole situation is crap. Several things were very good about the finale, the the prison spin in SONA was just weird. I kept wanting them to sail away and someone come after them after they got a head start or something. I don't know.

I think I need to re-watch the last 7-8 episodes to have a better idea what that was all about. I think season 3 is going to be crazy interesting!

I'm just not sure I can stand watching one episode (with commercials!) at a time though. I only caught on to Prison Break when all of Season 1 was done and they were at episode 16 of Season 2, so I downloaded all the eps and watched them in a row. I've only been watching PB for about two weeks now. :) How do you 1-ep per week guys/gals do it?

I liked this season better than last by far. Just hated the last part of the finale. It's so unrealistic that the other unrealistic stuff is forgotten. Maybe that's the plan.

not sure why the end is so unrealistic to some of you...

prisons in third word countries don't exactly have a reputation for being country clubs - anyone seen Midnight Express?

and that end scene - of a brutally beaten (and probably raped) Bellick on the floor in front of that muscular inmate - was something awful...

i'm no expert on the penal system in third world nations, but again, i don't think it's any more farfetched that a bunch of murdering foreigners end up in the same brutal prison any more than it is a half-dozen guys breaking out of the same prison and still being on the run 3 months later.

Why exactly did Scofield plant the drugs on the boat? That seems really out of his character to set somebody up for a crime they didn't committ. If he had the money to buy the drugs he surely had the money to tell Panama drug guys to back him up when he went to get Linc.

to get Mahone out of his hair for good. he figured if Mahone was tossed in some Central American prison for a decade, he wouldn't have to worry about him...

Yeah they will pair up in prison and on to another prison break. Of course, that's exactly what the Powers That Be want. All next year will be focused on breaking out. While I liked that in the first year, surely they can break out sooner than a year and start running again.

I actually liked the ending. The happy ending was Micheal and Sarah holding hands on the beach with their son in between them. That would have been a bit too cliche for me. I would say it ended the way the Schofield character would have wanted it to, all his friends/family living life the way he would have wanted them to.

For a series that really had no business being on the air after the first season it kept me pretty entertained for 4 seasons.

My issue was that he was supposedly healed. His mother lived for many many years after the procedure. Yet he died right after they were all exonerated and we don't know why. Would have made more sense if there was a hint somewhere that he was having reoccurring issues or that shot by his mother made him critical or something.
