Prison Break Midseason Review

I remember the time when I was asking my friends to lend me their DVDs so I could watch them all during free hours. I had a lot of those last school year when my subjects weren’t that much complicated but that time I actually thought they were but anyway, I borrowed movies, TV shows just to keep me well entertained in my dorm when I had to get home early. In case you didn’t know, that time, my only means of entertainment came in the form of my lappytop. No TV, my first love.

The thing that struck me most out of the numerous DVDs from Metrowalk and friends was the heart-pounding, nerve wracking Prison Break. From then on, it has become my beloved most favored series. I fell in love with the show the first time I watched it. I got addicted that I’d stay up until 4am just to watch the episodes despite the next day’s early class. I didn’t care. I cared most if they could really break out and I loved seeing Scofield’s eyebrows whenever he has to think of a gameplan. Very, very, addicting.

And now that it’s in its third season, I am still here.

Warning: Read at your own risk. Spoilers ahead!

Actually, I was disappointed in its last episode when Susan tried her own plan for Whistler’s escape. She could have done it before when Scofield wasn’t in SONA yet. Ha ha. The plot is getting more and more complicated I guess. I don’t know if they will still hold a fourth season. The two breaking out attempts triggered the SONA officials and charged it to Scofield which led to his isolation in the middle of the field around SONA. I just didn’t like the double failed attempts which I think slowed down the series a bit. But anyhow, let’s hang in there as we try to think how on earth will Scofield get out of prison now that all eyes are on him? [He is literally in a cage in last episode’s preview.]

Burrow and Scofield’s last talk made me aww also cause I felt for Michael when Linc didn’t tell him about Sara’s death. Oh yeah, I cried for the death of their love. Sad! I hate The Company and Whistler for taking Sara’s life. And now I have to wait until effin’ January 14 for a new episode. I am crossing my fingers and hoping the series will pick up its trash and give us more action in the coming episodes. So far, I give it 8.9 for the first half of the season.

Season 1 remains my favorite but Season 3 is hopefully catching up.
