oh man, good show!! Gave a nine as I thought there could have been more on certain characters. They introduced the FBI agents in a big way. I wont go into anymore detail cause I know most of you guys will not see it till tomorrow or maybe sooner. But be expecting a shock!!! :eek: Good first episode, next week looks like it could be much better, wish it was a double first episode to start the new season!!

damnit, the only thing wrong with the episode is we got to wait until next week to find out what they do next...

gave it a ten.
maybe im just so happy it's back.
finally someone to challenge michael.
next week pls.

Creamy Goodness

i gave it a nine, nothing can get a ten in my opinion cause what happens if next weeks episode is better.

and the way episode 1 has kicked off the season i'm sure episode shant disappoint.

Em. Good ep and all, but is no one annoyed by the fact

that they escaped the helicopter. Not a freaking word said how it was done. They basically just ignored it

jArgHA

well Prison Break back with a bang. just watched 2x01 and giving it an eight - I dunno would have to agree with the previous poster

it seemed like they got away (well this far anyhow) a bit too easily

who is the actor that plays the new FBI head, he looks the part and good to see someone with intelligence actually tracking schofield now

liked T-Bag's line where the vet tells him 'nobody can undergo an operation like this without an anesthetic' - T-Bag: "well I ain't nobody"

i think i can remember someone saying to bellick they went back to base or something.

it's stupid i know but huh it wouldn't make good tv.

also another bit i found a tad odd was

near the start schofield is on the train and bellick pops up and says "i'm gunna gun you down schofield", when bellick shoots the shotgun he misses but the spread of the shotgun should of at least hit michael in the arm as lincoln was pulling him away

that's just nit picking though

i heard some guy say it was back on the ground refueling

i wonder if his hand gets sown back on

What an episode!

I gave it a 9 because

they didn't start from where it left off in the previous episode. I wanted to see how they escaped because they were so close to being caught.

Tbag was great as always "I ain't nobody"

Also

What a shocker of an ending!

I can't wait to see what they do next.

also

how did they get hold of all those photos of schofield's tattoos? had the prison taken them? or the tattoo artist? seems unlikely, sorry for nit picking again...

Good point. Im not sure where they got them. Cause some of the photos were close ups, dont think the prison would have had them. Maybe the tattoo artist took them so she could show Michael the detail after doing each section cause she said that he was very picky with the detail when talking to the fbi

I gave it a nine also. Typical ending though, leave you hanging for the next episode.

Ya the photos came from the tattoo artist, he should have had her destroy those as well, how did schofield overlook that. Great to see schofield has a rival, and he is a likable character. I can see him sympathising with Schofield and his brother in the future if he finds out details of the case.

protos

Someone mentioned that the helicopter had to refuel, so that's fair enough.

The new FBI agent is a bit too smart though - making the mental jump to finding the cemetary was a bit much. Also for going diving in the river outside schofields old apartment.

the one thing i didnt get was

why did he bury the clothes and stuff....why not just leave them in the storage unit?...and also why not park the car in there?

gave it a nine though...great to have it back

He probbaly thought it was safer considering he had money, phones and passports in the bag too..

Anima

There wasn't a storage unit I thought. They just took some shovels from the cemetary shed thing no?

Damn...what an episode.

I cannot believe they killed off Veronica! Such a shocker. I reckoned a main character would die but I just thought it would be a con,like Abruzzi. I am kind of annoyed though,it now seems Veronica's whole season 1 story was pretty pointless and now she's dead! Its not like he couldn't have had a storyline this season,she could have more of a story than Tancredi.

Other than that it was good. Bill Fichtner is great already and finally Michael has a foe worthy of him.

They showed her with a bullet in the head and two in the chest. If that wasn't bad enough it looked like they chopped her up as well! They threw more than one black bag into the car!

Why does everyone presume the Doc left the door open for them.
Why didnt any of the guards think it may have been possible for them to steal a key/make a copy etc?
It is Michael Scofield they're dealing with!!!
too many things are just happening for the sake of the plot...........

Move along here, nothing to see!!! :D:D

unquote me?

This is an extremely ridiculous show. Extremely. With many a plothole to boot.

Example

*Deep breath*

- At the end of last season, they were seen running away from the airport in the middle of the night, the wardens (in vehicles) were about 100, maybe 200 metres away. In the first scene of this episode they were shown jogging through the woods, in the middle of the day, with the wardens still just behind them, who somehow have not managed to catch them. That's upwards of 6 hours of constant running from men, canine's and a helicopter

- Then they stumble across a train. The wardens catch right up to them, but they cross the track before the train comes and then seemingly the wardens give up chasing them for a bit. Top work lads.

- T Bag, who has been dripping blood for God knows how long, is completely on his own, and manages to get himself, unsighted, first to a campsite, then to a vet's - repeat - a ****ing vet's, to sew his hand back on. Why hasn't he passed out due to loss of blood?

- A bit later on they're just casually sat around on a scenic jetty. Obviously they've got all the time in the world.

- Mahone is figuring out the tattoo way too fast. The second coming of Einstein, I'd say.

- Not everyone is sentenced to death, especially after killing such an important figure and in a fairly small town yet not a single person recognises Lincoln(or any of the other 5 most wanted men in the country) with blood, cuts and scars all over their faces walking down the(far too busy) street.

- The complete lack of roadblocks everywhere.

- How the doctor comes round from ODing perfectly lucid, just in time to chat to her visitor.

- Why would Michael bury the clothes at such a public place where he was liable to get seen either digging the whole in the first place/burying them/diggin them up again? And why does he leave clues to it in his tatoo, Surely to Christ he could remember where he buried 'em?

- Veronica's stupidity knows no bounds.

- Why did they cut her up into three pieces? It seems completely contrary to a conspiracy that likes to dispose of things cleanly.

*and breath*

And after taking all that into consideration, I still find it to be one of the best and most downright entertaining shows on TV.

I love it.

Can't wait 'til next week.

chalkitdown,

I'm choosing to ignore your post so I can enjoy the show, valid points as they are.

I don't see why William Fichtner is being cast as Bill Fichtner in this, William sounds better.

You did what I wanted to do, but I was too lazy I'm sure I could think up of more stupid things that pissed me off, but your list covered pretty much anything I can think of atm. But as you said, and I agree, I still love the fecking show

Unearthly

Probably way off here but maybe the reason they killed off Veronica was to close the President storyline for the meantime cause she left the show

I thought it was a good start to the series. As expected, William Fichtner was a welcome addition to the show. I think he has that condition Michael had. Remember that conversation Sarah the Doctor had with some guy talking about Michael and saying he could see things that others can't. That would explain him being so damn smart, and will make a great psychological game of cat and mouse.


I didn't quite understand C-Notes and Lincs reaction to Abruzzi's actions. Yes he put a girl in danger, but if he didn't, they'd be arressted!. He saved them!

if memory serves me correctly at the end of last season that nurse who worked with her said something along the lines of something going on between Michael and Sarah

as for this weeks episode i give it a 9. good solid season opener and

i am glad Veronica is dead. she annoyed me. plus it gives Linc something to do. he knows Stedman is alive now
