Prison Break

No hiatus for Prison Break?

It seems like FOX is sure leaning that way. According to this article on Mediaweek, FOX is thinking about just running Prison Break’s 22 episodes straight through instead of taking it off the air until January.

Fox is leaning toward running 22 consecutive episodes first-run of Prison Break this season straight through, choosing not to pull the series at the end of the November sweeps as it did last season, before bringing it back in March, Preston Beckman, executive vp, strategic program planning at Fox said today at the International Radio & Television Society breakfast session.

I second that motion!
I think that it’s a great idea. I can understand the reasoning behind all the hiatuses going on. But, I think that Prison Break run all the way through would be great. That means I’ll have one of my favorite shows to watch over the long Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

I guess we’ll see in the coming days or weeks if this is definite.

As I mentioned in my review this week Prison Break really delved into the innocent lives being lost in Michael’s quest for Lincoln’s exoneration. Michael has seriously started thinking about what kind of consequences his actions are causing.

I really like where this is all going. Most movies and TV shows brush away the innocent lives being lost, as if they were not meaningful. The innocent lives are treated like the extras that play them.

But, when Michael finally thought back to the beginning and all the people that have been hurt or killed because of his plan, maybe he shouldn’t have done it in the first place. Michael has had to become a criminal in the most literal sense. That’s got to be hard on anyone.

Bolshoi Booze, they were numbers. GPS coordinates to be exact. That Michael, he thinks of everything.

So, T-Bag keeps catching more breaks than a Kit-Kat bar. Well, I had a bit of a problem that T-Bag was able to get his hand untied as fast as he did. Another big problem that Bellick tied up that hand. Why in the world would he tie up T-Bag’s bum hand? This whole thing could’ve been avoided if Bellick would’ve tied the other, or both, hand(s) to the radiator. But, then again, Bellick and Geary aren’t the shiniest pennies in the bag, so who knows what they were thinking. Either way you look at it, T-Bag got out of the house, and is now running around, as a handless wonder. But, somehow he still ends up being just as scary to Geary who finds out T-Bag had a GPS transmitter in the bag all along (those Army/Navy stores are fun by the way). I just don’t understand how, during that whole scene with Bellick, Geary, and T-Bag, those two knuckleheaded ex-gaurds didn’t somehow see that T-Bag had a trasmitter on him or some where near him.

In any case, Mr. Geary found out the hard way, and now he’s dead, T-Bag has the money, Bellick is going to have to answer more questions for the police and poor Geary didn’t even get to have his ‘Cleavland…what?’ Eww!

I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s episode of Prison Break. It’s entitled “Bolshoi Booze.” We’ve only got two more episode after that until the hiatus, .

Well, if you just can’t possibly wait to find out what’s going to happen, head on over to SpoilerFix.com and read the spoilers.

Or just wait until tomorrow night. It’s going to be a doozy, I can tell.

Now, this is interesting. Last season there was a clip of Michael meeting with a Hispanic man in a bar. It was almost totally out of the blue. We see Michael drawing his maps, and then the words “Bolshoi Booze” written on some paper, which is also what the man handed him.

Seeing that the upcoming episode is called “Bolshoi Booze”, I think everyone should take a look at this clip, then watch the “Next Week on Prison Break” clip I posted below. I’m betting that the man Michael is talking to in the confession booth is that same Hispanic man.

The question is what are they planning?

Seems like Prison Break is going on Hiatus. Prison Break, like many other shows this year, is splitting up it’s season into two distinct parts. November 27th’s episode entitled “The Killing Box” will be the last one until January.

Though there is no set date when it is set to return, I’m guessing that it’ll be a week or two after 24 has it spectacular 4 hour 2 day premiere-event-extrvaganza. Then we’ll probably be back to 24 and Prison Break, working in together. Which, by-the-way they do VERY well.

As we’re talking hiatuses I’d just like to throw in my two cents about the whole subject. I think that the TV season in itself is inherently flawed. It’s too many weeks, and the shows are becoming too complex. This is why we’re moving closer and closer to internet TV. It’s only a matter of time folks, before we’re all watching our favorite shows streamed on our computer screens. I don’t mind waiting though, because I understand how difficult it would be to create 50 plus shows for every week of the season. So, I’ll just sit back and relax during these hiatuses. I know my shows will be back. They always come back.

Just to quell any bad thoughts or rumors. This hiatus for Prison Break has nothing to do with ratings. It was planned, just like…say for example Lost.

I’m just interested in what the heck this “Killing Box” is. Sounds freaky. You can bet that’s going to be one amazing cliff hanger though.

This is one heck of a hard show to predict. It seems that everything is going wrong for Michael. That’s one thing I find extremely entertaining about this show. Here you have a character, Michael Scofield who’s used to having everything his way. He almost expects things to work out the way exactly how he’s planned them, because he’s so amazingly smart. But, it seems that the actual criminal mind (street smarts) can go a long way.

Take T-Bag. There’s not a dumber hick around. But, T-Bag’s deviousness takes him a long, long way. He’s got a way of conning people that may be only second to Sawyer on Lost, and even then I think T-Bag may even have him beat.

Now that everyone’s out of the cage, I’ve been wondering on what the rest of this season has in store for us. Prison Break is so hard to predict because you never know what’s going to happen next. But, I’m going to try.

Was the Idea Behind Prison Break Stolen?
That’s the question that’s being asked…

Two brothers Bob and Don Hughes are claiming that they wrote a similar story about their lives and shopped it to FOX, but were denied. A little while later FOX came out with Prison Break. The brothers say that it is very similar to what their screenplay was like.

In an article on Pitch.com, the two brothers were interviewed:

An Excerpt:

The Pitch: Fellas, what’s going on here?

Don: We wrote a manuscript about our escape, about one innocent brother being incarcerated and me breaking him out and about us being on the run. And then here comes Prison Break, and it’s identical to our story. We watch each week and just keep picking out similarities.

I’m a huge fan of this show, so it’s hard for me to pick. But, I would have to say I’m loving this season. Season 1 we were just stuck inside the prison the whole time waiting for them to escape.

But, season 2 brought the freedom that this show deserved. Each character can now go their own ways. The conspiracy is starting to unravel. The plots are moving at break-neck pace. I’m really loving how we’re getting answers to past questions in almost every epsiode. The flashbacks are a great way of reminding us also.

I’m a “Spoiler Junkie” I’ll admit it. I’m addicted to knowing what’s going to happen before it actually does. I love being ahead of the game. I know there’s plenty more people out there that feel the same way. So to you fellow “Spoiler Junkies” I introduce Spoilerfix.com.

It’s kinda sad that this blog has just been set up, because we’re already into this second season by 10 episodes. To go back and recap all the past episodes would be extremely difficult for me to do. With that said lets start with last night’s episode and go from there.

Wow! Prison Break is just pure fun, like Die Hard. You understand how completely implausible it is while watching it, yet you’re totally engrossed in what’s going on. Prison Break isn’t grounded in our reality, but some other reality that appears to be like ours but everything’s a conspiracy and people figure the exact right thing out and the exact right second they need to. But, the key to Prison Break’s success in my mind is it’s sheer intensity.

Welcome all you Prison Break Fans.

This is the new Prison Break blog for the 451 network.

For those of you that are fans of this show, it’s one of the most intense yet completely unbelievable shows on television. That’s why I love it. From the very beginning of the series the writers have held onto the notion that they can make a show that one must suspend all rational thought to watch it. They have never let go of that thought process. It’s wonderful! That’s what makes Prison Break such a fun show to watch. Prison Break is what I like to call my GUILTY PLEASURE.

Prison Break is about half-way through its second season. The convicts lead by Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) have escaped from Fox River and are now on the run. More importantly they are all chasing five million dollars that was buried in Tooele, Utah by a character named Westmoreland, otherwise known as D.B. Cooper.
