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.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
