Prison Break
 
So awesome.

I DONT SEE A THREAD ABOUT IT.

Too bad it's like 24. Except uh, it will be even harder to make a season 2... unless he goes into another prison somewheres.

Heartbreaking. The setup to the show is pretty awesome. The sexy Wentworth Miller is like a blue-collar Legolas. Always brooding, always deep in thought. :drool: :shifty:

And equally as sexy, they have Peter Stormare, who played the voice of Dracula in "The Batman vs Dracula," and Dominic Purcell, who played Dracula in Blade Trinity.

Dunno, feel stupid "talking all about it," it's an awesome show, though it might be best rented on DVD as it's like 6 episodes in. When they take the midseason break and show reruns, check it out. It's just one of those shows where so many things unfold, like a long miniseries, or movie, or whatever... though it gets more and more convoluded every week... I won't say any more.

Anyone else watch it? PLZ say yes because I don't want them canceling this thing. Not before they get out. I don't want this to be another freaking "Models Inc," where I don't get to see what happens!!!

(though I'm assuming... they break out of prison.)

el fregadero 09-27-2005 03:11 AM

I watched the first episode and liked it, but I've worked every time it has been on since then. So yeah.

AlphaBean 09-27-2005 04:04 AM

It overlaps Las Vegas :'(

loopydate 09-27-2005 12:22 PM

Great show. And, supposedly, the show's creator has two years' worth of shows planned out. Even if they do get out this season, there's still a ton of stuff that needs to be resolved (Fibonacchi, the Secret Service, etc.).

Boondock Saint 09-27-2005 04:12 PM

Yeah I like it. However I feel the stuff outside of prison causes the show to drag. That lady lawyer is not interesting at all.

Loose Cannon 09-27-2005 04:20 PM

I wanna watch the show, but it's on at the worst possible time for me.

Nervous Ferret 09-27-2005 04:25 PM

yeah me too. I saw the first but have missed the redt. Ther guy reminds me of Loose Cannon. :o

samichna 09-27-2005 04:30 PM

I watched parts of like 2 episodes and it seemed mad good. :rant:

Always forget to watch it though, cause I never really watch TV.

samichna 09-27-2005 04:33 PM

Wait, so the dude is in the same prison that he helped design? Isn't that a huge conflict of interest?

RIDONKULOUCE

AlphaBean 09-27-2005 06:08 PM

He's a shithead. He didn't design the place, he was a subcontractor when they redid some of the plumbing or something like that. Like, he has the blueprints, right, but he didn't DESIGN the place. He just knows enough.

Anyway, yeah after I was thinking about it, once they are out they will have a shit ton of loose ends to worry about. Like what happens if T-Bag gets out with them? Will they feel responsible for all the raping and killing he will be doing? Will they try to stop him?

But my main beef will be... will it still be called prison break? That's the shitty part about it.

Anyway, with (WWF president Jack)Robin Tunney doing whatever, it can get boring, but the stories are coming closer and closer together. Like, it used to be two separate storylines, but the SS keep getting more hands-on in the prison system. But ROFL at when they tried getting him transferred, but Stacey "the man" Keach was like, FU NO, and they were like... "okay :(" and that was that.

Anyway, love the show. If I think too much about it though, I begin to realize how stupid it can be. Like how all of a sudden he's breaking down a concrete wall using a projection of satan's face? And nobody will find it? And how will he get all 30 people into the hole with him? Especially Lincoln, the fella on death row. Are they going to be escaping soon, with the lockdown? I mean, that and the whole "hit on Lincoln" thing going down, you'd think something has to happen soon. How many more opportunities will they get?

And what exactly is going to keep the group together? The Fibanacci(sp) thing, it seems like unless Scofield refuses to divulge the information (which will subsequently get EVERYONE killed), then Abruzzi has no reason to stick around. Unless he's like "omg yo, respect bro, u da man, lets hang out" after the awesomeness Scofield is pulling off. Dunno. So many questions make me moist. :cool:

AlphaBean 09-29-2005 01:10 AM

The devil was one of his tattoos it'd look weird just having 6 dots on his arms.

AlphaBean 10-01-2005 01:14 AM

I just thought it was a bit convenient that he knew exactly how far away to put the lamp, and where exactly it was supposed to sit. He did the measurements using his eyes and his feet. Like he said, a couple inches off and blammo.

But how are they going to hide that gaping hole from the janitors?

PapaGeorgio 10-01-2005 01:50 AM

The show looked really intresting. I started to watch it and got 15 minutes into it but couldn't take it anymore. I think my problem is I can't handle another prison show. I mean nothing can be as good as OZ so all I did was compare the two. My one friend is really into it, I tried but couldn't get into it.

AlphaBean 10-01-2005 08:43 AM

That's like saying you can't stand House or ER because you're a fan of MASH.

But House is my 2nd favorite show on right now. I know what you are saying though. Prison Break really looked intresting to me too. I gave it a try though. The fact I didn't like it didn't have much to do with OZ though.

AlphaBean 10-01-2005 12:11 PM

Quit saying though :mad:

Anyway, last season I loved Veronica Mars... twas a pretty smart show. And since it started before House, I never got to watch House :(. Then all of a sudden House starts season 2 first, and on a new night, so I can watch it... and really, House is the best show on TV. Lost is a Bruckheimer disaster, Desperate Housewives is... well... best-suited for daytime TV. All of the current comedies that are not animated, well, they pretty much blow hard. House is funnier than anything else on. Prison Break, though, is a pretty good guilty pleasure, just like Veronica Mars. It has some awesome stuff going on, and it has the Shawshank Redemption thing going for it; SR being the greatest movie of all time, of course. You have to love an innocent guy using the system against itself to free an innocent man. :love:

Savio 10-01-2005 08:34 PM

House spoilers.

Doctor: but if you do that he/she could die.

House: fuck you I'm doing it.

Doctor: wow you were right.

Boondock Saint 10-01-2005 11:01 PM

Bruckheimer has nothing to do with Lost. And it's the furthest thing from a disaster. Same with Desperate Housewives.

Bruckheimer has everything to do with Lost. It's people like him who inspire shit like that.

And watching Housewives gives me an uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with Eva.

Yeah I'm starting to see that there's a pattern in every episode to that extent; but then it gets to the point where you KNOW what is going to happen with the case... it's all the things around it that matter. I said that the residents are all just there to support House. They all wear white, he is the only one wearing dark. And the medical cases (which, as you can tell, he tends to avoid anyway), are just a backdrop for the brilliance of the show.

But you have to think... which medical dramas actually have originality that isn't absurd? i.e. a helicopter falling on a dude on ER?

Also, if throwing millions of dollars at a TV show means automatic ratings and Emmy awards, then SKIN and THE TICK should be celebrating their... what, 5th season already?

Savio 10-02-2005 11:35 AM

They should slowly turn house in to a sketch comedy series IMO

AlphaBean 10-02-2005 01:45 PM

It would be like Will Ferrell on SNL. Everyone will just stand around and giggle at his awesomeness.

I still don't get where Bruckheimer fits in, but ok. Lost and Housewives are successful because of their quality writing and acting which equate to an entertaining hour of tv. There is no other show on today that compares to Lost, IMO. The amount of discussion this show creates among the viewers is huge. There hasn't been a show of this type that has people talking since X-Files, and before that, Twin Peaks.

Skin failed because it was a crappy show. Terrible writing, non-sensical plots etc. I honestly thought the The Tick was decent but it's not the type of show to appeal to a lot of people. Also, they were both on FOX. A network that cancels a show just because they feel like it.

AlphaBean 10-02-2005 07:05 PM

If you can't see the correlation between Lost and Bruckheimer, then you obviously wouldn't see that it's not as good as people suss it up to be.

Every show garners discussion. Not this much since X Files? Please. The intelligence and tension involved in X-Files blew everything else out of the water. Everything I have seen in Lost I have seen in a blockbuster movie -- generally those produced by one J. Bruckheimer.

Boondock Saint 10-02-2005 07:21 PM

Don't think we'll be agreeing here...but I do get what you're saying.

So how about that Prison Break?

loopydate 10-03-2005 12:12 AM

I don't get what he's saying. I mean, I get what he's saying, but he doesn't know what he's talking about, so I don't get it. Does that make sense?


But, yeah, Prison Break rules.

AlphaBean 10-03-2005 02:02 AM

It makes sense, but that doesn't matter since you aren't explaining yourself so all I'm hearing is you saying I don't know what I'm talking about.

So please enlighten me.

loopydate 10-03-2005 02:15 AM

Okay. It's late, and I should get to bed, but here's the quick version.

"Bruckheimer" movies

Explosion after explosion after explosion. Archetypal characters whose one story purpose is to try to put the next explosion into some sort of perspective (and usually failing due to bad writing). Huge stars doing little more than looking pretty while surrounded by fantastic special effects that add nothing to the story.

Lost

Ensemble of little-known actors hired for their ability to play their roles. Engaging characters with multiple levels. Scripts that build off of what came before and build to the eventual conclusion without resorting to cliches or trickery. Clever dialogue. Minimalist special effects (wisps of smoke, uprooted trees) that are there only to further the story, not to "look pretty."

Conclusion

Like I said, I can understand what you were saying, because from just watching commercials for "Lost," you see a big plane crash, a bunch of pretty people, and something about a monster. But if you actually sat down and watched a couple of episodes, you'd see that your first impression is way off.

Enlightened yet, or do I need to take another crack at this in the morning? :p

So since you like it, the effects are minimalist... otherwise, they would be considered cheap, low-budget, cheesy?

Little-known actors? First off, good shows create stars, not the other way around, and the Hobbit and the Party of 5 dude aren't unknowns, but that's not important. Point is, what I've seen of Lost is, the characters are all types, they are not all that "deep," and their depth is only superficial, as in, even their depth is typical. Like a badass with a heart of gold, the hero with a death wish, the quiet one with a secret... and with so many different characters, they can deal with every possible type and go from there. I'm sure the show will only grow in popularity as the producers realize which characters are the most relatable, since they have a fucking stable (like a soap opera), to "keep things fresh." I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it's definitely one of many Bruckheimer-esque tools they use. Ensemble cast that is spread so thin that they can give the appearance of depth, without having the time to properly develop a character as an individual (rather than a type).

Now, I have to come out and admit that I have not watched "a few" episodes of Lost. I watched the season finale. And for the life of me, I can not watch another episode ever again. Everything I saw in that show I have seen before. Only cool things were 1) the gun powder cauterization and 2) pirates stealing the kid. :lol:

But then, there goes a definite downside to the ensemble cast... so many things going on, that nobody will like all of them. And some of the more star-struck, blindly enamoured people will ignore the things they don't like because they so thoroughly love everything else... but I can't get past them. That's why I love or hate a show. It can't be everywhere. Which is why I like Prison Break. It has a star. It's not confused. But it's oh, oh so wonderful. I am starting to really love the character of T-Bag. I would hold his pocket any day. :love:

But :rofl: this is like Smallville, as in... it's a huge clusterfuck, and how the hell would they be able to cover up all of the people who know? I should think it's not that easy to hide a freaking prison break.

RBM 10-03-2005 10:37 PM

I'd advise you watch the full season of Lost.

Also, Prison Break is a good show. :y:

AlphaBean 10-03-2005 10:45 PM

So by your logic... if I go out with a girl and she makes me uncomfortable and disgusts me, I should marry her? :?:

loopydate 10-03-2005 10:47 PM

I'm sorry, but Matthew Fox and Dominic Monaghan aren't bankable stars. Well, they are now, but last TV season, they weren't. Also, notice I said "little-known" and not "unknown." There's a difference. Let's look at the cast:

Matthew Fox - Was on a series that was cancelled five years ago (so is Don Johnson a bankable star? Is that why "Just Legal" is doing so well?)

Dominic Monaghan - Probably the tenth-best known actor from the LotR series (behind Wood, Astin, McKellen, Mortensen, Lee, Tyler, Weaving, Blanchett, and now Otto). Just being in a massive movie doesn't make you a big star. See Ian McDiarmid.

Evangeline Lilly - I'm not kidding, she was in "Live Links" commercials before Lost. You know, meet hundreds of local singles who are just dying to talk to you.

Terry O'Quinn - Ton of guest appearances on shows like "West Wing" and "Alias," but nobody knows who the fuck he is. Well, they do now, since John Locke is the most interesting character on television. But last fall, they didn't.

Josh Holloway - Who?

Maggie Grace - Who?

Naveen Andrews - Who?

Emilie de Ravin - Who?

But, hey, if you can't bring yourself to watch more than an episode, that's fine. But you really shouldn't be making generalities. I hated "Family Guy" the first time I watched it, but it wasn't until the third or fourth episode I watched (trying to figure out what all the fuss was) that I realized how truly unfunny it was. Ditto "CSI" (except replace "funny" with "watchable").

I guess the point is, if you're going to dismiss it, that's cool, but at least don't base your assumptions on the very last episode of a season. Of course characters and story arcs will look shallow if you only get a two-hour glimpse at them.

AlphaBean 10-04-2005 12:31 AM

No, see, I'll make an argument on your behalf.

Family Guy is a comedy. You really have no reason to have to watch more than one episode, except to catch minor things like Chris' dirty old man, and the evil monkey. Other than that... a sitcom isn't meant to have continuity, so granted, I'd have to watch the entire season to get the "big picture" of Lost. That's what you should have said to make a proper comparison between the two.

That being said... Family Guy is a great show, and I liked it from the first episode. Now, I say liked. I didn't love it until later. The thing with the comedies, however, is that they get better as they settle into their niche. Simpsons took like 5 seasons to peak. Family Guy IMO peaked real quickly, but then you take secondary series, like Futurama and American Dad... they pretty much blew right away: First due to their own tendencies and expectations, secondly because of the audience looking for the same genius as their predecessors, as well as a step up in evolution. Futurama eventually achieved that (and cult success on Adult Swim), and maybe American Dad will eventually, as well. As it stands, American Dad IMO sucks compared to Family Guy, because it's practically the same basis -- and as long as it's on the air, they need to keep developing an identity for it, all its own.

But back to Lost... I don't know about you guys, but I have a tendency to watch Soaps from time to time. I watch the NBC soaps now and again(and even Starting Over when they had Vanessa Atler :$), and when I was younger, I watched the ABC soaps. They were serials, and tended to be only good to watch if you could keep up, and maintain the continuity. The thing with Soaps is, however, that they suck viewers in with hot bitches, and extremely hilarious and absurd situations, coupled with the cheesiest of dialogue and the :shifty: looks before commercials. How can you not watch that shit?

Anyway, look at Lost: It's a show that takes itself serious, and as such, it is held to higher standards, and in an episode standing alone, it needs to be good. Every hour should be quality, because forcing someone to watch every episode to enjoy it as a whole is a trick. Wanting to know what happens next supercedes the quality of the show, and you end up saying "I like it because I wanna know how Charlie is going to overcome his Cancer and get his brothers and sisters off the island and back to the Shire with the Hobbit." Nah. You need to put the episode first. I'm going to use Boondockle's example: X-Files. Every episode was awesome. All by itself. But deep down in the heart of it, there was a conspiracy, a mystery to be solved. But that wasn't the be-all and end-all of the show. Shows like that always end up growing tired.

Take Dark Angel for example. It blew its load in the first season. The mystery was solved, and everything was resolved. Season Two was like... what? Okay, try hard. That's what happens when you take a Bruckheimer (or Jim Cameron) approach to making a show. That's what I'm afraid of for stupid Prison Break. Eventually, they will get out of prison, and the conspiracy will be settled. And if they aren't careful, they will ruin the show.

And they can't stay in prison, either. And the people of Lost can't conceivably stay on the island, either.

AlphaBean 10-04-2005 12:36 AM

The Claire chick was the forest spirit... thing from the Beastmaster show. That kind've makes me laugh now remembering how ridiculous she looked.

AlphaBean 10-04-2005 02:57 AM

I only vaguely recall that. Though I loved the show. Like, it had balls. A syndicated low-budget_style show with continuity. It's hard having continuity when you change networks/days/times constantly. And it had the most homoerotic aura of any show I've ever seen.

AlphaBean 10-25-2005 05:25 AM

New ep finally. Someone give their thoughts.

I think the VP thing was a bit anticlimactic, since, you know, nobody really gave a rip about the "outside" story arc before, either. Hopefully we start to see LJ use some street smarts his daddy gave him to become awesome, and stop being such a whiney girl.

RBM 10-25-2005 05:47 PM

Good stuff. :y:

Yeah, the whole VP thing was kinda meh.

What pissed me off was both parents (mother and was the guy his stepfather? I really need to pay more attention to this show) basically being dumbasses. The girl ran into I believe the very next room and weakly hid behind a desk. bye bye. Also, when the other agent had the kid stopped in his tracks, and the guy whacked the agent from behind, he sort've just backed off and started yelling for the kid to run. If that were me, I would've continued beating the shit out of the guy.

John la Rock 10-25-2005 07:15 PM

great show

loopydate 10-25-2005 11:10 PM

The stepdad, seeing that his stepson was about to get shot, should probably have just kept swinging that bat until it came up red. And I'm starting to wonder if Jessalyn Gilsig is actually an idiot. Her character on "Boston Public" was sort of an idiot (even though she was supposed to be the sympathetic female lead), and the way she died last night wasn't all that bright, either. I wonder if she gives creative input.

"Jessalyn, your character is going to run out, get in the car, and drive away. En route, she'll use her cell phone to call for help!"

"What if I just hide behind the island in the kitchen with my head sticking out?"

"Er... That works, too. Hey, don't put that fork in the electrical ou-- Crap."

(This has been another presentation of loopydate productions. Coming soon to DVD: "The 24 Christmas Special!")

Oh, also, I had to shave my goatee off a few days ago for a movie I'm shooting. I'm letting it grow back in, and it's a little patchy. I look vaguely like T-Bag right now. Kinda makes me want to walk around the apartment with one pocket hanging out and speak with a vaguely Nawlins accent.

But not really.

AlphaBean 10-25-2005 11:42 PM

I hope T-Bag doesn't get killed. He deserves his own spinoff.

loopydate 03-20-2006 11:13 PM

Another good episode, but it took me a long time to wrap my head back around everything. I had totally forgotten about C-Note. When they first showed him I was like "Who on Earth is that guy?" Ditto for the VP woman.

By the end, though, I remembered the first half and got back into it.

AlphaBean 03-21-2006 12:05 AM

Are they going to hit us with the double swerve? The previews showed "a coffin," but that coffin had dirt on it, leading me to believe someone exhumed the VP's Bro's coffin. But that makes me think they're trying to convince me that Lincoln was dead... but it was pretty obviously not him, and I don't see what possible avenue is left that could save Lincoln, tbh.

HMM.

But LOL at all the loose ends just hanging out there, all the holes and passages throughout the prison that nobody has noticed. It's like "Aw snap, let's cut our losses!" and everything is back to normal. O_o

AareDub 03-21-2006 12:06 AM

They really wanted to build you up in this episode, just so they could tear you down at the end. It's really a necessary death, without it there wouldn't be much story after the escape. Now Michael will have to join the fight to uncover the conspiracy or something. It's hard to imagine myself being interested in the show once the prison bit is over. *shrug*

AlphaBean 03-21-2006 12:24 AM

They're putting together some really deep characters, though, and the way I see it, they can get Lincoln off and still have to get out... or let some of them get out and others stay, and then Michael in his stupid sense of honor, will feel compelled to get them out. Most notably John Abruzzi, who is still getting his neck sewn shut off camera, and filming Volkswagen commercials with that eerily hot blonde girl, ja. He's going to come back to find the boys took off without him. :wavesad: Won't anyone think of the mob boss?

AareDub 03-21-2006 12:33 AM

The characters are definitely what will keep me watching the story, but I don't think their situations will be as interesting outside of the prison walls. Maybe they could just get an apartment together in NY and fill up that empty couch at Central Perk.

AlphaBean 03-21-2006 12:50 AM

That would be hot.

However, just imagine the possibilities: A psycho child rapist/murderer, a gangsta drug dealer ex military whatever, a mexican, an old, wise coot, a mob boss, a structural genius, and a hardcore meathead with big meat lips, on the run from the government, with their hot doctor, lawyer and mexican ladies in tow (and then T-Bone can have JR hold his pocket on the outside).

Granted, I don't buy what kind of situations they will have on the outside (especially with a name like "Prison Break"), but I guess we'll have to see.

Though pairing it up with 24, the night before House? Fox owns M/T until MNF is back on.

I downloaded the first 3 episodes and was hooked so I downloaded up to episode 13, it's a great fucking show. Dominic Purcell is the man (and he's an Aussie)

Boondock Saint 03-23-2006 04:18 PM

That courtroom scene was absolutely terrible.

Downunder 03-23-2006 05:41 PM

Episode 15 due to be aired on the 27th has been leaked, I downloaded it last night.

OMG CLIFF HANGER!!!!!!

AareDub 03-23-2006 07:30 PM

If its a cliffhanger, I think I'll wait until it actually airs. I don't want to watch a cliffhanger any sooner than I have to :p

:lol: they should turn it in to a sitcom

T-bone: Hey doctor, what kinda prescription you got for a hard on?

*Laugh track*

Michael: Cool it T-Bone.

(Sancheaz falls over a foot stool)

The guy in the reflection looked like the guy in charge of the prison... you know, whatshisface. Did anybody else think so, was it meant for us to think that?

It was the Governer, I'm pretty certain. Pope knows nothing about the case.

In other news: HOW QUICKLY DO YOU THINK IT TAKES A MOBSTER TO RECOVER FROM A SLICED ARTERY? :?:

Abruzzi better be back soon, before the end of the season. Him, T-Bone and Scofield make the show. Oh and Bellick.

PS: Why is Scofield concerned about losing the blueprints? He's a genius, he doesn't need them! :roll:

Blitz 03-28-2006 04:40 PM

I'm waiting for Michael to just snap. He's so calm and collected all the time, something's gotta give.

AlphaBean 03-28-2006 04:54 PM

In the previews, they keep showing him punching the concrete wall. He's kind of dumb, getting all those tattoos to get his brother out of prison, backing up against a hot pipe to avoid detection -- though the guard not noticing him was pretty LOL, especially once he started sizzling and the smell of searing flesh filled the tunnel.

But the previews also show a huge armored truck driving. Can't wait! Armored trucks are great. I hope it's Abruzzi driving :$

Blitz 03-28-2006 04:57 PM

Stupid Canadian channel doesn't show the next week previews. :(

AlphaBean 03-28-2006 05:11 PM

Not next week, just in general...

But next week we get a "How we got here" episode. :love: The stories of them all, I'm assuming not the old guy, but other than that... :love:

loopydate 03-28-2006 07:40 PM

I thought that the guy in the reflection was Michael & Linc's father.

AlphaBean 03-28-2006 08:54 PM

It's possible. And if it was him... ROFLOMGWTF SWERVE. Where does he fit in? WTF? Deadbeat dad of a lowlife is a political informant? WTF!

samichna 03-30-2006 12:38 AM

HOW MUCH LONGER IS THE SHOW GONNA BE ON?

RP 03-30-2006 12:49 AM

They failed their first attempt, and the guy got an extra 2 weeks before being fried. :lol: After the old guy told Scofield that it takes a month to put paperwork through.

Man, this show has some holes. :(

They're probably showing that one cuz of the NCAA tourny.

samichna 04-02-2006 07:36 PM

WOOOOO looking forward to tomorrow's ep.

RoXer 04-03-2006 10:39 PM

Someone tell me what happened, I was watching basketball.

Blitz 04-03-2006 11:46 PM

Lesse what I can remember
-The doc used to be a drug addict, and met Bellick in rehab
-C Note actually was in Iraq, but was dishonorably discharged because he tried to report a prisoner being abused
-Nothing about Abruzzi that I can remember
-Thye reason Lincoln was gonna kill Steadman was because he was in debt for $90K, which he gave to Michael after their mom died (to pay for school, etc.).

I'm a little sketchy on the details, as I was kinda watching the Leafs game and doing some work at the same time. I don't remember anything of note about Sucre, and all I remember of TBag was that he was apparently in love with this woman (who had 2 kids), but she turned him in after seeing him on America's Most Wanteed.

AlphaBean 04-03-2006 11:51 PM

Scofield for the three... REJECTED BY DR TANKRITI(sp)

Dunno. SpoilerI guess the black dude, pharmacist or whatever, was a real, real good guy who got fucked; Sucre was just a petty thief who got ratted out by his cousin so he could get with Mary Cruz, and T-Bag promised to rape and murder this girl and her family because she turned him in. Also, Terrence Stedman had his teeth ripped out and placed in the fake corpse, and Bellick was in narcotics anonymous with dr sarah. He was all bashful and asked her out. She rejected him and he got all angry. Probably went back on the juice, which is why he's such a douchebag now. Also, Scofield is awesome.

Dragon 04-03-2006 11:53 PM

Sucre was arrested for robbing a convenience store so he could get married to the girl he was with.

LOL, thought it was pretty funny when Bellick asked the doctor out. "How about we talk about it over dinner, I have a gift certificate to the Red Lobster."

That was quite stupid unless they explain it later, but what really pissed me off was the fact that they made Scofield's act more of an act of obligation, rather than, as Veronica said, their twisted sense of love. I liked that idea. That Link said to Scofield "I didn't do it," and Scofield did what it took to prove it. I'm not too upset, because it makes Scofield's reaction more believable... to find out that all these years, everything Link did was for him... but I love the concept of a twisted brotherly love that prompts brothers to do this sort of thing. My brother and I have vowed, if he dies first, I will avenge him. If I die first, he will give me a viking funeral and celebrate my life for 7 days of drunken excess.

Savio 04-04-2006 04:19 PM

All they had about Abruzzi was a newspaper clipping, but tbh honest I wouldn't see where to fit him in either.

Best parts were the C-note/Mike Jones story and the T-bone one. T- bone's story actually added to the on going story, and the look he gave her at the end really pushed his character.

AlphaBean 04-04-2006 11:02 PM

We know all we need to know about Abruzzi - and the thing is, there is no point whatsoever in giving a backstory on him when we think he's dead.

Savio 04-05-2006 07:34 PM

Lincoln pretty dead to I mean there's no way he's gonna get out of prison....or is he?

The series was going to end in last season or what ever and you can tell where they built stuff off of it.

AlphaBean 04-05-2006 08:21 PM

No idea what you just said, bro.

samichna 04-10-2006 07:54 PM

lol

samichna 04-10-2006 07:54 PM

New episode starts in 5 minutes.

woooooo

loopydate 04-10-2006 08:11 PM

I told you it was their dad.

samichna 04-10-2006 09:28 PM

Dunno, getting bored of this show KINDA.

It would be nice to know how much longer they plan on stretching it out too.

Way. Too. Fuckin'. Easy.

Deadbeat dad, disappears so he can become some sort of operative? This isn't Spider-Man, ffs.

Now I know for certain that Abruzzi will return, except he will return stronger than ever, having had some sort of government tests sanctioned by the VP done on him, giving him bionics that are fueled with some alternative energy source, like gamma radiation or something. :ROLL:

But I like how all the baddies are getting in on the act. It's kind of hilarious when you think about it. They're all working their asses off to cover up this operation, even T-Bag is developing some sort of camaraderie with his coconspirators. It's like... even if they fail, even if they have to do their time... they will have found something stronger than freedom, and that is friendship. :lol:

Big fuckin' house of cards, but at least the old Scofield came back. Since the finale, he's been like a fish out of water (npi), completely out of control of the situation. You could just see it in his eyes where he went into "Scofield-Mode." Next week they had better keep it going, or it will suck major ass.

But LOL at LJ. What a fuckin' idiot. Watch, though... he's gonna go into Fox River with his dad and uncle. :lol:

Savio 04-10-2006 11:40 PM

maybe LJ had a recorder under his hoodie.

I think he was saying if they find the hole you'll get in trouble anyway.
