Prison Break

Rumors about seasons 2 and 3. Bits and pieces that have been said confidentially or accidentally in interviews and leaked out. No "official" word has been given that there will be more seasons, but knowing how much FOX loves a success (as they continue to shove 24 down our throats), it's not unlikely that they jumped on the chance to sign 'em on for two more.

Abruzzi is gone for good. Peter Stormare didn't mesh with the rest of the cast for one reason or another is the rumored justification, or part of the reason. A shame, but I'll live.

Season two will have the boys out and roaming about. Season three will apparently have them back in prison. As long as "the boys" includes T-Bag, I could really care less what they do. The idea of them going back to prison isn't entirely horrible, nor unrealistic, but...not sure what the hell they'd [i]do[/i] back in prison. Sit around saying "damn, we were caught" "yeah, this sucks" "Ah well, I'ma find me a bitch" "no ur not" "yes I am" "no" "yes" "no" "yes" "no" "stfu pretty" "no" "*stab stab stab molest stab*" "ow" Lame.

But I thought the whole thing was going to be lame, so maybe they'll prove me wrong.

Robert Knepper wants T-Bag to look up his papa. Or rather, is wondering and somewhat hoping he will. Revenge makes for good tv. <3

So yeah, to those wondering how it would continue beyond the escape, which from the sound of it...you can expect it to last most of the remaining 9 episodes. It sounds horribly drawn out, but a lot can happen in 12 hours when you're escaping. Gettin' awful close to being like 24 at that point.

Whatever. There ya go. They get out then get back in again. And if you don't click with the rest of the cast, they'll write your character out. W00t!

[b]It's a fucking television show.[/b]

Apologies for the huge bump, feel free to ignore this. I just need to vent and have already done so in my Theo community, there's just no one awake to complain with me. And I need to write out my annoyance.

[b]QUOTE[/b] (some whiny community that served literally no other purpose than to point out minor flaws in how realistic shows are)

It's quite sad actually how tv shows etc etc, glorify convicts and make them romantic heros. (another nit because dont think for one minute that t-bag doesnt have 74 fansites up and 3008 marriage proposals right now)[/quote]

1. Who's a romantic hero criminal? Abruzzi? Abruzzi never does anything other than what's in his own best interest, generally harming several people in the process. How many mafia movies are there, how many Scarface fans? People like Abruzzi because he's the mob boss, not because he's cute (obviously). C-Note and T-Bag are out. Sucre's gun wasn't loaded, and maybe, [i]just maybe[/i], some people end up in prison because of a bad decision and are not a psychopath. The only hero is Michael, and he's justified.

2. They are not real criminals. Robert Knepper and Peter Stormare have never killed anyone [to my knowledge, lolz]. Pretty sure RK doesn't touch the kiddies in their naughty place. Peter Stormare isn't sitting around ordering people to be whacked. They're [i]characters[/i] doing no real harm to anyone.

3. *in reference to all the other nitpicking in the thread* omgwtf it ish not teh realisticicicic!!!111grrrlol Seriously, right down to how a cavity search is actually performed. Wtf. I may be a cynic, and sure, I spend my share of time thinking "T-Bag wouldn't be in GenPop" and "Lincoln wouldn't get to work PI" in the back of my mind, but in the end, [i]it's just a damn good story, so stfu and stop crying about it.[/i] If you want realistic, watch those escape shows on the discovery channel and complain about how the reenactments are done wrong.

4. No one is glorifying T-Bag. What's unfortunate is that so many people can't get over their programmed "killing is wrong. This person killed. I hate this person" mentality to see what a great, complex character he is. People in T-Bag communities aren't there to dote on RK's hair or how good he looks in a white t-shirt, nor discuss how "misunderstood" he is. He's a fuckin' serial killer rapist, rightly incarcerated. The interest comes in [i]why[/i] he does it, [i]why[/i] he collects weak inmates, [i]what[/i] happened to make him that way. If anything, most Theo fans make him far worse than anything canon has shown.

5. RK is not actually T-Bag. He is a man playing a character that is the figment of some writer's imagination. 6 boys and girls are still alive in Alabama. Blaine Hogan (Seth/Cherry) is going about his happy little acting career. Peter Stormare's throat is unharmed. Aside from point 5, it's not like anyone's sitting around admiring Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer's crimes saying "way to go, boys, keep killing and eating those kids!". It is a clever story, nothing more.

Some people....take life too seriously. I can deal with the people who don't like it or don't like Abruzzi/T-Bag for whatever reason, but come on.

I hate stupid people. This is right up there with those religious freaks who think Harry Potter teachers kids witchcraft.
