 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Anyone still watching?
I love this season a lot. It's easily my favorite show right now, and probably second overall this season behind Pushing Daisies. It's been incredibly consistent. Sure, the plot is VERY reminiscent of Season 1, to the point where I'm sure each character now represents a character from Season 1, and we can predict who will make it and who won't. But still. It's exciting.
And William Fichtner is the best on the show. Everything up to last week's episode, he's been incredible. Last week, he seemed to be written differently. Like he suddenly overcame withdrawal, and now he's just one of the guys. I hope he makes it. He seems to be the Abruzzi character of Season 3, overcoming something big (Mahone - drug addiction; Abruzzi - being stabbed), and finding a glimmer of hope (Abruzzi - the bible; Mahone - a picture of his son). Which sucks, cause we all know where Abruzzi is right now.
But anyway... between PB and Terminator, FOX Mondays is aces.

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
I'm so going to miss Prison Break. Especially if it's cancelled. I like how the show is always consistent. Even though Mahone has helped out quite a bit with Michael's escape, Lincoln didn't forgive or forget. Although I'm glad Mahone wasn't killed off. I hope his story continues. I'm also somewhat glad that even though Mahone said that it was Linc's family or his own, Linc didn't just suddenly say "Well... okay, I guess you can go". That would've been against Linc's character completely.

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
they need to have a series finale before it gets cancelled. It seems like they are pushing it to the 4th season which is fine but Im afraid that Fox may not renew it or cancel it in the middle of the season so we wont see a resolution to the situations

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Yeah it would really suck if the the season/series finale would be a cliff-hanger (and given the previews, it seems like it... probably regarding Susan).
Is that female spin-off still a go? With the strike, they were never able to introduce the female character in the series.

I keep hearing this was written as a season finale....... but that was from Berman's forum and most people there are unreliable douches.

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Michael Asshole doesn't think PB will be back. Ever. Instead, we'll get Female Prison Break.

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Im hoping for a series finale if it gets canned. At least on dvd. You cant keep people second guessing since they are already up to season 3

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Considering the always-declining network ratings, I think PB is doing moderately well. It has stayed steady all year and even grew a bit in the last few episodes.

I think Prison Break's run is admirable, yes it's down year to year but its ratings this year ranged between 7 to 8 million, nothing less. You can't get any more consistent than that. It would be great if the finale breaks above 8 mil.

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Asshole also thinks that Terminator's days are numbered, thanks to a big budget. I think I'm going through post-strike stress disorder.

Plus, Terminator has potential to grow with cross-promotion for Terminator 4!

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Some news via TV Guide: http://www.tvguide.com/Ask-AusielloQuote: I'm hearing a fourth season is pretty much a lock. Good news since I've been watching this from the beginning and want to see it continue. Poor Sucre!

Shows have seen a decrease in their ratings since the strike but PB held steady in the high 7's and for fox, that's good enough

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Yeah, I never quite understood why FOX would cancel PB in favor of the female spin-off. Not that I would have anything against a female spin-off now, but why cancel the original? Besides, it's not like it would've been a character that we know really well. And what would they have called it? Prison Break: No Boys Allowed?
Yeahhh... bring on Season 4!

Yeahhh... bring on Season 4! i think the spin-off is shot to shit right now because they had to cut the story of season 3 short. The second part of season 3 was supposed to introduce the women that would then be the lead in the spin-off. Well they never got around doing that so the spin-off would have been really awkward.

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Fox has picked up the series for another 22 episodes Also worth noting is that the spin-off is still likely. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/con ... d7b81ff313

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Awesome. Now, if only we could get a confirmation on Terminator's second season (I've read that it's close to a done deal!), I would be very happy.

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
YES!!!!
More of T-Bag's antics in Sona!!!
No wonder Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (Susan) was very happy at this local event she attended...
Yeah, X some insiders are claiming Terminator will be back. I guess we just need some official confirmation. And hopefully, the DVD release would be sweet.

 Re: Prison Break: Season 3
Season 3 was really, really good. My favorite show of the season. I don't know how others feel, but I think they did a great job, considering they essentially re-created Season 1 up until episode 12.
