I'm done with this show. I had a real problem giving a shit last week, and it didn't change this week. I'm just not up for some filthy third world prison story with a bunch of characters I don't know.

I hope the show is everything those of you left want it to be. I really do. Maybe I'll be in a different mood one day and pick up with season 3 on DVD.

I couldn't make it through last weeks. Just seemed to have trouble caring about what was going on. I skipped this weeks. With my luck this will turn out to be a good season.

I think this season is fantastic so far, and I had just about given up on the show midway through last season. The new setting, characters, and challenges are pretty intriguing this time around.

I wonder if this gets right back to what the viewer expects from the show. A lot of folks hated last season. It was absurd (but then again the show has been absurd from launch). It also followed a group of characters with a goal. I think those of us who valued the setting and format hated last year. Those of us who were in it for the characters and plot at least endured last season. We were left essentially satisfied once the bulk of the characters had their stories resolved and the plot was done. There was just nothing left to care about if you were in that camp.

That's my best shot at explaining the varying reactions to the show. Like I said before, I hope those of you left get what you're looking for out of the show.

I personally liked last season a lot, warts and all, but I am terribly bored by this season so far. I can't wait for the focus to be on something other than Sona.

Not only that, but apparently a cup of water can transform you from a sick, coughing invalid into Ryan Seacrest.

This and Heroes have been a let down for me. I'll probably Netflix this season of PB because Michael has basically turned into Macgyver 2007, which is fun and all, but not enough to take up an hour of HD DVR space every week.

Pretty good episode. I like that they are taking their time setting up alot of the plot for season. It was good seeing Sucre again.

One issue I have is: How much time has transpired since all these guys went to FOX River to now in Panama? I remember Maricruz telling Sucre she was pregnant when he was initially locked up.....looked to me like she wasn't even showing at all. Well, it looks like her character is history from the show since Camille Guaty is heading to Las Vegas.

That's some prison where you can take a gun past the front gate.

As for timing, I think the producers hope you are looking the other way when it comes to that stuff.

Not only that, but apparently a cup of water can transform you from a sick, coughing invalid into Ryan Seacrest.

Well I am still loving this show.

To me it is the equivalent of a summer blockbuster / popcorn movie.

They are moving at a great fast pace

Count me in on the Prison Break love side. I thought this episode was fantastic. I think people are thinking this entire season is gonna be in a prison and be rehash of season 1. Word is they are out within the next 2 episodes.

Yup, I am enjoying this season thus far too. It's good to see them in a different prison, back to it's roots so to speak. I just wonder how many other prisons the "company" can get Michael into...

So far it's better (and more fun) than I anticipated.

Loved it. The show's very original and the plots are creative.

And, more importantly, Bellick finally got a pair of Zubas.

I was in the camp of giving up on this show after last season, but I decided to watch the premier for this season to see if it was entertaining.
After two episoded into the season, this show is more entertaining than ever.
Is it even close to reality, heck no. But it is very comical and entertaining.

It's neither, but I love it anyway.
