I just can't wait to see what happens on the Season Premiere. Especially after missing the 17 min sneak peek on FOX website. Anxiously waiting for the TV Squad review too.

fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. after the first episode, im worried im going to be fooled again. this looks more like the first season and much less like the terrible second season. im still going to watch (hell i watched all second season) so i really hope it moves back into being a good show. its sad there will be no sara tancredi though.

Great to see Bunny from the Wire be the bad ass boss o'Sona.

I don't know how anyone can think the second season was bad. So it wasn't like the first, but the show stayed true to its roots. Some of the plot was diluted but I was dreading the thought of another prison break after the end of last season. Now I'm happy to eat those words.

I think some people think too hard about TV shows--more so plot devices in action-packed shows. Sometimes they get out of hand and ruin a show (cough*24*cough) nut most of the time they change the pacing and that's what makes Prison Break solid. Other than Lost, I can't think of another network television show that sucks me in this much.

What I don't get is why they need to continue a franchise with a solid opening season (like 24/prison break etc.). I just watched this ep and all I could think was: "really? they need the prison break cast for this?"

What they have effectively done in this episode is make sure the first two seasons are a shitty preamble for rescuing a guy from a prison in panama (as if they couldn't do that with just a normal undercover guy).

for me, the buck stops here.. Prison break is out, I will await the next prodigal child of some writer and watch that first season.

Seriously, this whole Whistler thing? C-O-N-T-R-I-V-E-D.

So, if it wasn't chicken, what was it; rat, human?

Galley, you aren't supposed to ask that question. Something about ignorance being bliss...

When first watching, I thought Prison Break had a good start. However, when they brought in the objective from the people outside, it felt like it sucked the steam right out of their engine. I never liked "The Company" or the conspiracy in general, so it now looks like they've got another one to deal with. I don't know exactly what to think, but I'll give it a shot. They better stop after this season though, or else it'll be absolutely off-the-wall.

Ya know how in the UK they say Series instead of season, when referring to a show having new episodes. Well thats how I look at Prison Break.

This is the Third Series of prison break, they're more like movie sequels than continuations of an ongoing story.

A little too gritty for my tastes--I'm glad the rape scene was scrapped.

I hope the plot cleans up fast, I'll give it a few weeks.

Lincoln has top billing this season, it's about time!

I like how Michael never takes off his sweatshirt/long sleeved Tee combo, cause tattoos are expensive and time consuming. You think it may have helped in the fight to show off that you're completely sleeved out.

did anyone else notice about halfway through the episode there was a scene (forget what was going on) where two glowing red lights appeared near the bottom of the screen. at first i thought they were lasers from a gun, but then nothing happened. then i noticed it again while watching k-ville. both shows i watched from my dvr.

johnnymac, I saw the two red lights, too. You're not crazy, and it's not your DVR. If you say they were in the other show, too, then it sounds more like a technical error having to do with the Fox signal, or the cable operator. I'm using Comcast in Washington D.C. -- where are you? If same, then it was a local problem.

i'm in Boston using RCN - seemed very strange to see it on both shows in the same spot of the screen.

well, i really didn't like it... so it's season one all over again, only in a new prison & with no blue print this time?

oh yeah that sounds new, and exciting.

I saw the red lights too! I'm on Charter cable in Johnson City, Tennessee. I've seen the lights on previous episodes and thought they may have some kind of "can you spot the red lights" promotion thing...altho no clever gimmick is coming to mind...
