... they had done another season in the prison?

Don't get me wrong, I like this new season, but... I think I would of prefered another one set in the prison. Or even a different prison (maybe their escape was foiled and they got moved to another prison?)

This season doesn't seem to have the same pace as the last one, and there really isn't anything i'm waiting to see happen next week because the storyline seems to of gotten pretty random. I actually expected them not to escape by the end of the first season and it seemed a little rushed to get them out so early into the shows life.

Any opinions?

The whole escape was drawn out long enough. Any longer and it would have seemed like they were never going to feckin get out. Also remember that Linc was due to be executed so it's not like they could have kept it going indefinitely. Moving to another prison would just have been silly as the whole pretence of the show was that Michael designed the prison and had the plans tattooed on him.

Personally I think the second series is great and think it has a better pace than the first. It's also evident how the storyline has been planned out over a full season as there's less stalling and going around in circles.

i'm not feeling this season at all now
it feels like there is no true objective anymore...well besides from freeing Linc's name but that wasn't of any of the viewer's concerns from last year really..it was all about the jail break. I don't give a tug about his storyline. I just want to see Kellerman and Mahone go toe2toe.

Linc's criminal heritage is a poor relative to Micheal's prison break.

They should have done just 2 seasons (has a 3rd being confirmed?) and had a spinoff series featuring TBag giving talks in Catholic shcools about the side effects of self masturbation.

i guess what I mean is not that they should of done another season in prison after season 1, but spread out the prison break over at least 2 seasons, which would of been completely possible.

What got this idea into my head was seeing Bellick back in the prison, and I remembered what got me hooked on the show in the first place. That constant fear of being trapped and not knowing how to escape. Another factor was the mysteries held in Mikes tatoo, with new riddles unlocked each episode. They still touched on the tatoos relevance in the beginning of this series but that has all gone by the wayside now as mahone knows exactly what it means... so now we are left with the weak stories of each of the escapies (Sucres being the best imo) and the ridiculous events surrounding Mike and Linc which seem to have no order anymore (where's the genius from season 1 gone?)

In the prison they had a defined goal, now it seems that anything could happen. I actually forsee this whole thing ending with the brothers set up down in panama renting out mopeds living with sucre, his wife and the old sage with the VW bug, having accomplished nothing but freeing a load of murderers, causing havoc and consistantly on Americas most wanted list.

I think the whole Fox River side to the story was played out, stretching the prison break out any further wouldn't have worked. Now that they're on the run, we still have the tension, desperate situations and hairsbreadth escapes that made the first season so great.

True, it does seem more random now that they're not following Michael's masterplan, but the writers have a plan for where the show is going and I think it'll be good. I still wish Abruzzi was around though.

Yep I've had it now too. The start of the series was good, then I just continued watching through habit...now I'm taking 2-3 weeks after airing to be bothered watching them (still havent seen 15). It's drawn out, repititious and I couldn't give a fiddlers what happens to them anymore. I think a lot of people are living on what the show used to be and codding themselves.

What i'm really hoping for is lincs son to get thrown into jail, another jail that mike designed and they have to break into the prison to get him out.

You're opening yourself to torrents of abuse by asking that question!

Sorry for the torrent of questions. I see what ya mean. Won't ask again.

Things might have got a bit boring if they stayed in the prison for all of the second season. They could have stayed in the prison for some of the season and the rest of it outside the prison.

Anyone know when it is starting again on RTE???

I think they have done it peferctly. I have watched the 2 seasons over the last 3 weeks and imo season 2 has been better then season 1, non stop action and more exciting then season 1.
I heard they had the 2 seasons planned out in advance and you can see that from how it's panned out.
Season 1 is the escape, season 2 is on the run

I think they could of at least stretched out the Bellick in prison story a little bit more. I mean we see an ominous shot of him behind the bars and everyone looking menacingly at him, he gets beaten up then is free again by the next episode.

I really thought they where going to go down the route of putting linqs son in prison then mike and linq would have to break him out. I'm wondering now how they are going to run another season of prison break now without it getting horribly repetitive.
