Prison Break, Season 3, CAUTION SPOILERS

[Ellie]

Starts on 24th Sept on Sky One I believe

I'm sooooo looking forward to this, I'm such a prison break freak!!

Anyone else looking forward to it?

[Chongster]

OH, MY, GOD.

I LOVE Prison Break so much, the 2nd season was amazing. I've seen the first 17 minutes of this series, and its looking great! Can't wait for it to start!

[Aimee]

i would be if it were still on channel 5 lol i dont have sky which is crappy. i was getting really into it then they move! lol

[Ellie]

Sona looks to be a challenge for Michael! I wonder how he'll get out of this one!

P.S do you know that Sara Tancredi won't be in the first few episodes due to Sarah Wayne Callies real life pregnacy? Just incase you didn't.... but I'll miss her for those few episodes! lol

[postie]

I cant wait till its back on this month i really need more prison break in my life :)

[Ellie]

Me too, I've been so deprived of it!

[Ali]

I've never watched it. But my mum's gutted Skyone brought the Rights.

[Ellie]

you should watch it Ali, it's the kind of show where you need to watch from the start though

[Riz]

I really want to see Prison Break, but i cant be bothered catching up on it all. Is it possible to tune in now and get up to speed on things?

[Ellie]

Kinda, you can get the rough idea of things, enough to get into it but there has been so much happened in the last 2 seasons that you might get a bit lost on some things, might be worth reading up on it to get up to speed

[Ausie_SoD]

i love prison break, but i have no idea if i'm gonna be able to see season three cos i'm going to uni and won't have a tv. this sucks

[Blinkie]

i have never watched prison break... is it worth me playing catch-up or are there too many episodes/not worth it??

[Console]

Well, there's two seasons to catch up on, the first season of which is amazing, the second one wasn't as good, but the next season is looking to be amazing again, so it is worth watching the previous seasons to understand the show.

[Blinkie]

right then i might try and get a copy of S1 and S2... when does S3 start?

[Console]

In the USA it starts again on the 17th (I think) and according to Ellie (first pot up top) it starts again on 'Sky One' on the 24th.

[Blinkie]

i have just under 2 weeks to play catch up then!!!!

[Terrier]

Can't wait to get back into Prison Break. the Lockdown episodes of the first season were two of the best episodes of TV ever IMO.

[Q]

Can someone give me a basic rundown of what its all about, and whether its worth playing catch up over the next couple of weeks?!

[Console]

The essential idea behind the first series is that Michael Schofield (Wentworth Miller) is trying to break his brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), out of prison for a crime he believes his brother didn't commit, and so comes up with an intricate escape plan to break his brother out of prison, the first step of which is getting thrown into that prison himself.

[Blinkie]

Can someone give me a basic rundown of what its all about, and whether its worth playing catch up over the next couple of weeks?!

We should catch up together Q!!!!!

[Ellie]

I enjoy it because it's really cleverly written. There is one character who you should hate beyond belief due to the thing that he's done yet the way he's written and the actor portrays him you get hooked on him. Plus the variety of characters. These are bad men, they have committed crimes yet you develop a compassion for them. They may have committed yet you see things from their point of view. Getting out for this particular purpose and you agree with it.

Such a great show.

[postie]

I just love how they just about think they have won and its a happy ending but then it all goes pear shaped
brilliant twists

[Lizzie]

Never seen it, and for some reason it has never interested me either. Am I weird......??

[Ali]

I really want to see Prison Break, but i cant be bothered catching up on it all. Is it possible to tune in now and get up to speed on things?
I really want to catch up on 24, but i've got 6 solid days of t.v watching. Maybe when the next series stops ill try to watch it.

[Nic]

Never seen it, and for some reason it has never interested me either. Am I weird......??

i've not seen it; when people have talked about it it's sounded good but never really compelled me to watch it.

[Console]

I remember when I first saw the first episode of Prison Break; it was a pre-air that I got about 7 months before the show was set to start. I watched it, having read a brief description of the concept of the show, and immediately fell in love with the show. I don't often love a show straight away, but this one did it for me. So, I would suggest, to anyone that hasn't seen it, get a copy of the first episode from somewhere and watch that. If you like it, then by all means carry on watching it; if not then the shows just not for you.

[Ellie]

I usually say the first 2 episodes console.... I found the 1st one very dull compared to the 2nd!

[Console]

The second episode is better, with a very interesting ending, but I think that the first episode is enough of a taster to tell if you're going to like it or not. That said, everyone is different and this may not be true for everyone.

[Ellie]

I've got so many people into PB by just getting them to watch the first two episodes... after that they're hooked hehe

[Chongster]

I'm getting so excited now for this to start! I need to know whats happening to ol' Sara Tancredi! And Kellerman, and all the old gang!

There is a preview of the first 17 minutes of the 3rd series floating about online that I watched. Its just made me even more excited for it. I genuinly love this programme! (though I do feel they could have easily ended it at the end of season 2 successfuly, but, its all about the money these days)

[postie]

Yeah i think the beauty of that show is that if the ratings fall it would be easy to end early

[Ellie]

It's so popular I doubt they will end it until people begin losing interest.

It's like with Lost, they do have an ending for it but due to the popularity they keep having to make stuff up in the meantime because people still want to watch it!

[Terrier]

Saw the preview chong mentioned before there. Looks very good indeed.

I have much higher hopes for season 3 of Prison Break than season 4 of Lost.

[Chongster]

4 days left.....:D:D

[postie]

yeah i know i cant wait :violin::023:

[Ellie]

Ooooh, well reminded, me being an idiot I almost forgot!

[postie]

oh i think you have you're dates wrong chongster its the 24th 10pm its back on

still can't wait though :)

[Console]

It's on tonight in America.

[Harry_Bullocks]

Available on any decent torrent site probably around 3:30 A.M

[Blinkie]

i have them all to catch up with now, starting with the first few tonight!

[Ellie]

I still haven't seen the whole of the 2nd series if I'm honest, I've seen the ending but I bought the DVD's and my brother decided to watch them before I could and now I don't have bleeding time to watch them!!

[Console]

I've just finished watching the new episode and it is fantastic; I have high hopes for this season, especially considering the last, and it doesn't look like I'm going to be disappointed.

[postie]

Cool can't wait to see it but as a pre-warning if the people who are watching the America showings and going to talk about it on here can they use a spoiler code just so not to spoil it ;) cause that happened with lost on last years forum

[Console]

Don't worry, I won't be spoiling anything, but it is a great opener to the season.

[postie]

Yeah great i need some good TV to watch the summer has been boring for TV as most of the good shows don't start till mid autumn

[Console]

There has been some fairly decent TV to watch over the Summer, if you know where to look that is.

[Chongster]

I've just watched it too, It really is amazing, I watched the firs 17 minutes of it a while back, and I was impressed, but everything after that is amazing, and already I can't wait for the next epsiode!!

[postie]

I think you should post programmes to watch when something new comes up

as you have a great taste in tv console
(i love sc fi or crime related drama) ;)

[Terrier]

Watched it, loved it.

Really worth checking out this season I think, even if you're not fully up to speed on the previous two. I'll wait until after it's shown on Friday to talk specifics.

[Harry_Bullocks]

No leekage of spoilers from me either, the same goes for Heroes (Back on Monday) and anything else I download.
There is no reason for anyone to post a spoiler even with a spoiler warning. I'm sure there are loads of boards out there that will have active discussions regarding the new seasons.

[Chongster]

There is no reason for anyone to post a spoiler even with a spoiler warning.

I disagree here, if its plainly and clearly posted that there will be spoilers contained in a thread, then its the person who clicks it's fault if they read something they don't want to. You didn't have to click it, so I think its fine for people to post threads about these things if its clearly labeled.

Yeah, if it has a spoiler warning don't read it!! Not our fault if you don't have the power!!!

[Terrier]

Here's the promo for next weeks episode (S3 ep 2)

zUKdgY9m87g

[Ellie]

Ooooooh, I'm getting excited for it now! I missed the behind the scenes thing on last night but I am determined not to forget about the first episode of the new series!

I love the characters, they are freaking awesome!

No idea why but Sara Tancredi is my favourite character. She's a legend!

[postie]

10pm tonight i cant wait wooooo

[Blinkie]

I'm actually addicted now, after playing catch up for quite some time!

[Ellie]

33 minutes people!

I've got multiple alarms ready just incase I should be so idiotic to forget!!

[Terrier]

Season 3 episode 3 trailer (for those at US Pace)

_-7_Ai8LaBE

[postie]

pfft with you're American downloads I'm watching it on sky one and loving it already :)

[bbb]

when evr i can i watch it sometime as nromwhen its on im watching something else even when i sky puls it i alwasy find something else to watch thooo the story line to it ias amzing so i have to play catch up as well

[Terrier]

If it's on Sky 1 it'll be repeated at least a couple of times per week, surely between that and sky plus you can find somewhere to record it.

[bbb]

i would have more time if i dint have to share my sky with 4 others thats the only downside but i deff will be watching it even if im way behind as i can make the time to and then with bgoing back to wrok on monday meens ill have less time but im sure if i put my mind to it i can make them time to cach up as it does seem reely good and the storyline is amzing ouls some of the actors are cuteies

[Ellie]

**Spoiler**

Oh. My. God.

My favourite Character just died. I feel like crying... how sad is that :'(

[postie]

yeah and the damn Americans with the breaks they have :swear::gun:

[Console]

The lack of Prison Break was caused by the baseball being showed on Fox. This break actually puts the UK ahead of the USA by a few hours now.

[postie]

same happened with lost last year grr

[Terrier]

We didn't see said person die, it could have been faked.

Saying that though apparently they can't come to terms with the actor IRL which doesn't make it sound good.

[Chongster]

Wait, theres a break already? Damn, Well, Hurray for Sky then!

[Ellie]

We didn't see said person die, it could have been faked.

Saying that though apparently they can't come to terms with the actor IRL which doesn't make it sound good.

True we didn't, but from reading wikipedia and the like it doesn't seem like she's coming back... Ellie is not very happy... after that episode last night I had to watch some of season 1 again :icon_sad:

[Terrier]

Well it goes one of two ways

1) The producers have used the internet for one of the best swerves in TV history.

or

2) The actor in question is massively unprofessional and should never work in TV again.

[Ellie]

Hey! I like the actor in question!! lol

Meh, it's just work. They couldn't agree a deal so it broke down. It happens. If I wasn't going to get paid enough I'd look for a new job too and if my employer thought I was asking for too much then they wouldn't hire me.

[Terrier]

Well I had been trying to keep names out of it for people who haven't seen it yet :-P

But anyway the problem seems to be the actor wouldn't agree to a 13 episode contract (as they wanted to kill them off midway through the season) so they refused to come on board. Plenty of Actors have been killed off in various shows through the years and haven't liked it, but that's the job so you film your scenes. This actor refusing to "make it easy" for them to tell the story the way they wrote it is just hugely unprofessional in my book.

[Ellie]

Edited previous post accordingly!!

[postie]

Wait, theres a break already? Damn, Well, Hurray for Sky then!
Yes grr its due back on the 5th November

[Console]

It's only off for one week isn't it?

[Ellie]

til the 5th November, 2 weeks I believe

[Console]

Hmm, you may be right; there seems to be conflicting reports on when the next episode is. There's also a chance the the UK showings will be delayed by [INSERT ACTUAL NUMBER OF WEEKS DELAYED DUE TO STUPID BASEBALL HERE] week(s) as well, so we may not get to see them here first.

[Console]

It seems it was only a one week break, as I'm currently the next episode. Let's hope there's not too many more interruptions.

[Chongster]

Oh Brilliant! I'll download it tonight, I completely forgot to check today.

[Console]

Someone turns up in Prison Break today who has also appeared in Heroes (also today's episode actually, as well as a couple of others).

[Console]

Oh Brilliant! I'll download it tonight, I completely forgot to check today.

You can forget today; it wasn't on last night. I really hate Fox.

[Chongster]

Oh for gods sakes....ANOTHER week break already?

[Console]

This is Fox we're talking about here; the same TV network that is famous for having huge (seemingly arbitrary) gaps in show schedules, huge mid-season breaks (Prison Break's got a 4 month mid-season gap this time around) and airing epidsodes out-of-order, having a one week gap here and there is, unfortunately, not very surprising. What does make me laugh though is that in a few weeks Fox will release a report saying that the viewing figures for Prison Break (and other shows affected by the baseball-caused gaps) have dropped; well big bloody surprise there.

[Chongster]

I have actually lost faith in Fox recently, cancelling drive...amongst many other shows, then treating the ones that are successful like this one in such a ridiculous way. I'd MUCH rather they showed them all in a complete series week after week, I don't see why a show has to become a certain popularity to do that. I get that they have to have time off and so on, but the whole thing could be just scheduled so much better.

[Console]

I lost all faith in Fox years ago, after their screw-ups of Tru Calling and Firefly; I actually try to avoid watching new shows that are on Fox although some do sound too good to miss. It's a bit of a shame that Fox does get a lot of good shows.
