When did Prison Break jump the shark for you?

[GasX]

Season 1 genius.
Season 2 inevitable
Season 3 ok, just break out already.
Season 4? What are the chances Wentworth Miller will expand his acting repetoire from one look?

I think right when the company told him he had x days to break out of Sona.

I could buy him breaking out of the original one because he had all the blueprints, he planned it for years, not everything went perfectly...

I was pissed off at this "mini" season 13 episodes. I hope season 4 is the end of it.

Anyways I want more 24

Season 1 wasn't great. Basically every episode was a shark jump. If you accept that as the "norm" for prison break, though, then episode 1 of season 2. They basically completely altered the events of the finale of season 1 by making them somehow able to escape capture despite a helicopter, cars, dogs, and no chance of getting through the open field.

I stopped watching after season 2. I couldn't take it anymore.

 

[purbeast0]

well i didnt even watch s3 because s2 was so bad.

so somewhere during s2, probably the 10th time they escaped federal custody like it was nothing.

I stopped after the second episode of season 1.

During the promos for the premiere.

season 1 was great, season 2... yeah it had to happen, was decent, had a slump in the middle, was like wow in the end, but not as wow as season 1. Had to watch Season 3 to find out what's up, but by the time you get to the 2nd or 3rd episode in Season 3, it was retarded. Terrible mini finale too.

during talks of FOX making a series called "Prison Break"

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

I stopped watching during season 1, it didn't seem like it could go anywhere.

I scheduled work and my life around Season 1 and 2. Stopped watching at the midseason break this season and could care less what happens. However...I still think it jumped the shark in the middle of Season 2...somewhere after T-Bag, who should have died of blood loss or a massive infection from his amputated hand, still managed to consistently murder innocent bystanders with seemingly no effort, and then randomly show up in the same locations as the rest of the Fox River 8 without any explanation.

To be fair, he did get the hand re-attached.

Must be one talented vet... able to do major vascular surgery and everything.

s1 good, s2 actually liked more, s3 calling it meh is a compliment. They should have taken him out of Sona by week 3. I like the "on the run" stuff more than the "stuck in prison" stuff

A. good vets have to be just as good if not better than many doctors
B. he was indian so racism demands he be really awesome at doctory tasks


I like S1 and S2 as they both largely made sense. S3 was complete crap because they conveniently throw him back into yet another prison he has to break out of...its as if the show is now Heroes and his super power is breaking out of prisons...

Of course I'll then look back at the first two seasons and when I really think about it there were so many parts that pissed me off that I really start to hate the show more than I like it. Like in S1 where the execution should have taken place so many times but some how they avoided it. Or S2 where Mahone would always somehow find a way to keep up with them by being too good to be believable or Michael being too dumb to be the genius his character is supposed to be (like not properly destroying his hard drive).

 

[linkgoron]

S1 was good, S2 was better imo.

Season 3... I mean... They shoot the Museum's security guard from two meters, but can't kill Scofield? The Company can fake a man's death, take his teeth out, put the teeth in another body, but they can't make a simple photochop of Sara? The whole season sucked big time. They should've ended it at season 2, with all of them on the boat, riding into the ocean.

I don't know if I'll watch season 4, but either way, season 3 was very dissapointing.
