It was the one that ended with Lincoln's car crashing (the bulk of the story involved Michael trying to get the blueprint designs off Haywire).

I know a guy who can get me the last four episodes of the season. Normally I wouldn't, but being an episode behind the eastern states and having to wait three more weeks just for the next one? I think I just might have to take him up on that offer...

[Reply #82 on:]

I'm glad seven did that because I myself have began to sell the first season of prison break. I'm making money off their poor broadcasting choices.

[Reply #83 on:]

Did they actually show the two-hour event in the Eastern states, or was it a misadvertisement everywhere?

[Reply #84 on:]

They didn't.

[Reply #85 on:]

I think I'd remember a 2 hour episode. Or would I? Yeah, when it comes to television, I'm very good.

[Reply #86 on:]

... Well, yeah, it wasn't a two-hour episode everywhere. They were originally going to show episodes 18 and 19 together as a two-hour event in Australia. You crazy Americans, thinking that everything revolves around you. 

[Reply #87 on:]

YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T!!!!!!!!

But seriously. It would be cool if they did air episodes 18 and 19 back-to-back. They were great episodes, but they only do that for 24.

19 was available on the internet before 18 as a screener. So when I finally downloaded 18 I watched them together. Gold television.

[Reply #89 on:]

One more episode to season final. They just got over the wall. What was that fat guy thinking? Idiota!

I heard someone dies but I don't know who which makes it moe exciting to find out.

[Reply #90 on:]

Wait, was that on in the Eastern States on Wednesday? Shit, that means we're an episode behind, we only just had Tonight on. Though shit, what an awesome episode, I was on the edge of my seat for the entire thing.

[Reply #91 on:]

Yeah, that was Eastern States. Sydney to be exact.

[Reply #92 on:]

Well, the season finale just aired down here... HOLY CRAP! Okay, firstly - I was on the edge of my seat for the entire last three episodes. I think out of all of them, "Go" was my favourite, though "Tonight" was great and very well-paced (despite basically being an entire episode of stalling), and "Flight" was simply awesome. A bit surprising at who was killed off and what happened to certain characters, but I loved every minute of it.

My only complaint is that they totally lost track of LJ this season after his arrest. And that ending... damn you, writers! I don't think I can wait until next year to see how it continues, I'm going to have to start downloading when the show returns in the US next month...

Anyway, terrific finale to a terrific show. I don't think it's possible for Prison Break to have a bad episode...

[Reply #93 on:]

I was amazed through the whole episode. And the ending I was like...."My god, how are they going to not get caught?" I'm still excited now. And I used the same quote as you Beamer when talking to someone......

[My name here] says:
i swear that show always keeps me on the edge of my seat even when i know that they'll be fine

I can't wait till next season. I want to buy the DVD's now!!!

[Reply #94 on:]

PB rocks. Good finale, had me thinking though. How the hell are they going to escape? Surely Michael can't think of everything.

Great show.

edit: 24 is so poor. I normally love it, huge fan, but this season they've gone too far. We just had the episode in Australia where President of USA had to give the terroists the Russian President's car route so they could blow it up. Otherwise the terrorists will release Syntox Nerve Gas in USA. Puhhleazzze... No way would he give it up. And yet he did. And then his wife gets in the car and he STILL doesn't do anything! I can understand the USA Pres being a bitch... but come on.. no way! Unbelievable, laughable, un-original, rehashed storylines.

[Reply #95 on:]

Haha, I actually thought that was a good episode of 24. The President was in a bit of a conundrum. I know that I wouldn't want to make a decision like that.

[Reply #96 on:]

I heard that the creator mentioned that he would have to change the series name from Prison Break to something else to fit with future storylines.

Anyone have an idea when series 2 is returning?

[Reply #97 on:]

It was a joke, the series will remain under the same title. The plot will now revolve around them on the lam, I assume. Luckily, the last few episodes of Season 1 also opened the door for plenty of new storylines, and with so many characters going seperate ways in it, should be quite interesting to see how the show develops.

As for Season 2, it starts in America next month. It'll be premiering here early next year, as usual.

[Reply #98 on:]

Ha ha.. really? Had me fooled.

Thanks.

edit: Bah! I just realised where I read it, Tv Week! Can't trust anything those bastards write.

edit 2: Ha, seems you can.

Taken from Wiki..
Season 2
After Michael Scofield successfully executed his escape plan to break his brother out of Fox River, they are forced on the run by the authorities pursuing them. Among those who escaped with them are Sucre, Abruzzi, C-Note, T-Bag, Haywire and Tweener. Soon after the prison break, a federal agent, Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) is assigned to track down and capture these eight escapees. The story will continue to explore the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. The show may be renamed Prison Break: Manhunt

[Reply #99 on:]

Actually, there is a rumour going around that the show might be named "Prison Break: Manhunt" in Season 2, but it's still just a rumour at this point, and either way, still has "Prison Break" attached to it. Although I have seen interviews with the cast and crew in which they joked about changing the name, so it's hard to tell.

EDIT: Shit, beat me to it in your edit, I'd just posted about that.

[Reply #100 on:]

According to Amazon.com Prison Break will be released on DVD on the 8th August. I assume that is for America.

I can't wait for it to come to Australia. It is the best show I have ever seen, acting wise, plot wise, storyline wise, suspense wise.

[Reply #101 on:]

The Season 1 DVD will be coming out in Australia on September 13. 

[Reply #102 on:]

Oh, man. That's a whole month on top of the US release. We should get it the same time since Bush and Howard are so close. Politically of course.

[Reply #103 on:]

If you go by how soon the DVD is coming out after the season's finished being broadcast, we're actually getting it earlier. But of course, that's stupid, given that the DVD releases are determined by Fox Home Entertainment and not Channel 7, but still...

Here's a question that's been bugging me lately - when Michael was locked in solitary and Sucre went through the wall to finish cementing the hole in the break room, how was he able to screw the toilet back in?

[Reply #104 on:]

Maybe Michael told him about the screw and gave it to ihm.

[Reply #105 on:]

Umm, yeah, but how would he he have been able to screw it in from the inside?

[Reply #106 on:]

Something that got me...was Michael planning on the kid to tell Police Officer (Damn, forgot his name) about the hole so the old man would knock him out so Michael could get his uniform later on when they were escaping??

[Reply #107 on:]

The officer's called Bellick, the kid's called Tweener and the old man's called Westmoreland. And I'm not too sure - surely Michael must've had his suspicions about Tweener (and let's not forget, he wanted to save him from his cellmate, who would've returned before the break-out). I think he was seeing whether or not Tweener would tell Bellick, and at the same time, had a plan for both outcomes.

[Reply #108 on:]

I knew everyone elses name except for thos three. Thanks for the reminder. If Michael did plan on Tweener telling Bellick then it's foolish that possibly Bellick would have called for other officers the help dig the hole up.

If that happened then they would have been royal boned.

[Reply #109 on:]

Okay, Season 2 has started, so here's my review of the first episode, "Manhunt:"

Show spoiler

Firstly, it's awesome to see this show back - as soon as it got to that part where they were running to get past the train with the authorities hot on their trail, I just thought "Oh yeah, THIS is Prison Break!" Can't say I'm too pleased about the fact that it started the following morning after Season 1 ended, especially with that cliffhanger ending... I can honestly buy that they got to the forest and evaded the authorities, but it's really hard to do without seeing it happen.

Anyway, having said that, LOVE the new major character. He's basically exactly like Michael in terms of intelligence and sheer determination, and it'll definitely be interesting to see how that plays out with him working primarily against Michael. Good to see that Sarah is still alive - a little disappointing that we didn't get a single look at what happened to Haywire or Tweener, but I'm sure it'll be covered as the season progresses.

As for the story twists, I actually loved that whole concept of Terrance Steadman's house being a prison, as ridiculous as it was (and I'm happy to say that the actor change with Terrance wasn't TOO noticable). But killing off Veronica? No! With Nick dead and LJ in prison, that basically renders the entire sub-plot of Season 1 POINTLESS! ARGHHH!!! As for the main story with the escapees, it was pretty well-plotted at times, but somewhat aimless at other times. I saw that whole twist with the misleading storage facility coming, but I have to admit, the meaning of Ripe Chance Woods was pretty clever.

Anyway, to wrap it up, pretty exciting season premiere, though I'm really not too sure how long the show can go on with them out of prison now... The characters are sticking pretty true to themselves, though, and it'll definitely be interesting to see where the show goes from here.

On a side note, T-Bag just gets crazier and crazier as the show progresses! I love it!!! 

[Reply #110 on:]

Haywire better be back, oh my yes.
He was the only real comedy in the show!

[Reply #111 on:]

I still can't wait for Season 1 DVD's to be released in Australia!!!

Who's he again?

[Reply #113 on:]

 

[Reply #114 on:]

AHH!
I missed the first new episode, but the next one is on in 15 minutes.
I think I'll be able to pick up on it agian.

[Reply #115 on:]

Wikipedia has some rather in-depth summaries of each episode on the individual episode pages, you should be able to catch up pretty quickly.

[Reply #116 on:]

Thank you.

Alright, I watched tonights episode, nothing I couldn't really pick up on.

I can already tell it's going to turn out to be as good and suspenseful as last season, although I'm not sure how long they can keep the show up, now that they have broken out.

[Reply #117 on:]

I think the new guy [the FBI agent] slows down the pace of the show, which I don't like.  The whole purpose of Michael and Bellick is brains verses brawn, not brains vs brawn and brains when you add in Mahone. I'm not against the show, it's still one of my favorites but I hope they speed up this story line

[Reply #118 on:]

They can't really speed it up. Since they've broken out of prison there isn't as much to work with and the FBI agent part of the storyline seems to be the only new character plot so far. I still think the shows been great just saying that they have to find something to let the show go further. I mean I thourght it was only going to be one season but now they've opened the doors for more and I can't predict how far they can take it. Great first two episodes though.

[Reply #119 on:]

How did Tweener and T-Bag know how to go to Utah?
Must have forgotten how they know what's there.   

RAT RACE!
