Does anyone here watch Prison Break? I'm wondering if anyone is as pissed off as I am at the third season.

:)

I never started watching that. The premise didn't seemed like it could sustain a mini-series but not a regular series. How many prison breaks can they have at one prison before someone figures out how to stop it?

I agree. I stopped watching after last season when they ended up in that South American prison. It was like they created a plot point just to validate the show's name. Prior to that, it had been a very itneresting and fairly intelligent show, IMO.

Yeah, I watch and I love(d) it. BUT... killing Sarah? SUCH a mistake. I still watch but not as intently.

If this isn't the last season, it's a mistake. It's a premise that just can't last. However, they say a show isn't truly profitable until its 5th season, so they could try to eek it out a bit.

For cryin' out loud... can we please mark spoilers accordingly so that those of us who have yet to see Season 3 don't have it ruined?

**** SPOILERS BELOW ****






Killing Sara WAS a mistake. But then the actress, Sarah Wayne Callies, wanted out so I guess they didn't have a choice. However, I think that if they'd cut off a hand or something and sent it to Linc, they could've made the season motto something like, "Get to action or we'll send you more limbs."

... I'm a bit gruesome like that.

I hope they stop making seasons after this. It's getting ridiculous.

i watch it. mostly b/c i started watching it and i can't wait for them to find a finale. anyhoo - it's much like Lost - how they extended that show season after season is even more ridiculous. kind of like Gilligan's Island or MASH that lasted 3 years longer that the actual Korean war.

I like LOST actually. But to be quite honest, Heroes is winning my heart more and more. I'm really loving its new season.
