I love the show and all, but doesn't anyone else feel that the show was written for one season? Then when it suddenly became popular, they started really trying hard to come up with the next plots. Season 2 felt a bit forced on story line.

T-Bag certainly has the hardest acting job to pull off. I don't know how the real-life actor isn't going to get stigmatized for the same roles in his career - ditto M.C. (:)) Hall with Dexter.

I watched the first two episodes and i don't know what to think at the moment. I felt the same way i did with the first couple of episodes of season 1. Hopefully the next few episodes will pick up because i'd hate to see this show go down the pan.

I thought the episodes were pretty poor. I just find the storyline to be unbelievable (more-so than the previous seasons) and i'm finding some of the plot to be ridiculous and full of flaws.

But, having said that, i'll probably keep watching until the end.

Totally agree. It defiantly was at it's best the entire first season. I'm liking the quick pace they have set so far in this season though. They have me locked back in for at least a few episodes.

I would not worry about Hall. His character in Six Feet Under was massively different than Dexter and so well done I was afraid he would be typecast after that. He seems to have the acting chops to pull off a few different roles.

Like the last series, it's getting more and more far fetched. Series one was awesome, two was great but three seemed like they were trying to milk it too much and four looks like it's going the same way.

Not to say that it isn't a great show and I will probably keep watching, it's just gone into the realms of fantasy and lost the grittier feeling that the first season had and which made it a better show IMO.

By totally different, I would say totally worse.

Watching the first episode of the 3rd season, I thought it was very poor story writing. The whole thing about the big evil "company" seems so forced. It is like DrunkenMaster said, the show was intended for one season, the plot: break out of prison. Now they're just writing crap revolving around the same characters.

For example: The guy that kills Mahone's wife and kid, why didn't he just wait around till Mahone arrived to kill him. For being able to kill Whistler so easily, he did a very poor job in the rest of the episode as the hitman. Also the whole thing trying to motivate Michael and Lincon to go after the company was also very lame. Another problem is some of the characters are useless outside of the original story in the first prison, i.e. Bellick and Sucre couldn't even pull off a hospital visit and now they're going to be part of this crew... I would have much rather pick up new characters with more intrigue.

PB was always OTT and far fetched. But that mobile data reader was stupid and far too ridiculous.

First two episodes were pretty decent but I definitely hope this is the last season of PB. PB shouldnt have got more than 2 seasons.

some people take it way too seriously, forget about poking holes in the story and saying it's unrealistic and rubbish. You should just watch it for what it is, good tv.

Ehhh I wouldn't call it good as much as I would call it mildly entertaining. It's not as if you're watching paint dry, but it's nowhere near as engaging as other shows.

Its telly thats for sure, good tho its not. Season 1 and Season 2 were awesome from then on its like the creators put ideas in a bowl and picked them out.

Ugh, I've been waiting for someone to say that. I loved season 1, liked season 2 as you have to explain what happens once they get out, but near then the end came and season 3 came. The writing quality is so water down now its sad. They try to be gripping and intense like the original but come off cheesy. Took something good and raped it to death. Can't wait for season 5, because you know there will be one. :rolleyes:

Btw, think a mod can edit the title so it just says Season 4 if we are going to discuss it all here.

I will agree that Prison Break is not what it used to be. The whole concept was suppose to last one season really. Season 1 was amazing in many respects and season 2 was also very very good but thats where things got a little railed off the track. Season 3 was interesting and i am glad in a way it was only half a season as it become quite un-interesting only until the last couple of episodes where it got actually exciting to watch but overall pretty dull.

If people can say Prison Break is watered down then just look at Lost.

That show was pretty dire to be honest. The only that was exciting to watch was Season 4 and that's because it was run for only half a season. Season 1, 2 & 3 were pretty boring to say the least.

People saying the plot is being picked out of a hat........the same applies for Lost and just about every show really as this is what happens further down the line in any series.

I cant believe people are comparing LOST (which is probably one of the most well written shows on TV) with PB. PB is nowhere near lost in terms of writing quality.

It thrives on adrenalin rush and not intruiging story telling like LOST.

Hmmm, it felt incredibly "clunky" to me. How can we get all these people together again?

Sona has been closed - that's handy.

And we REALLY have a use for a fat ex prison guard.

Dunno, it keeps getting mroe and more unbelievable. I think if this were a different show, and this were the pilot - I'd have turned off.

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
