My apologies, I have been here long enough to know better.

Well, someone's got to start these threads. I don't know why it would matter which of us does it.

Some "rules" make no sense in certain contexts. Besides, didn't we already decide that this was fine a while back? Whatever. We probably should discuss this in Feedback or something, so as not to derail the <i>Prison Break</i> thread. It's my fault for making the side comment in the original post, but that's what you get when you force me to start threads. I'll be a jackass about it. That's why we need people like <b>LorenzoL</b> to do it correctly. Why we insist on running off valuable contributors to the forum with random enforcement of arbitrary rules I will never understand.

The "rule" does not really make sense in this forum. That being the case, with the problems we recently had in the Music forum the mods are probably just trying to be consistent.

I love that show!
can't wait!!! |

About tonight's show - maybe the rogue SS agents and the bitch in the kitchen will suddenly die and this show can get straight to the point of breaking out of the prison w/out the annoying sub-plot on the side that is dragging this show down. Wishful thinking - I know. :D |
Can't wait for this one. This has become one of my favorite shows on t.v (next to Lost/24). I think the boring subplot is there just to kill time. If it wasn't there i think the main plot would get bit boring.

I don't think the main plot would be boring at all without it. But yes, the Feds conspiracy angle is there to essentially kill time. I think this series would be ideal for a dozen-episode run for the season, but I suppose that model is economically unfeasible at the broadcast network level. |
I like the subplots, they make the whole thing a bit more interesting. I have a question though...does Fox plan on this being a series that they'll keep around for years, or is it sort of a one season deal (like 24 was originally SUPPOSED to be)... Only reason I ask is because, while I love the show, if they don't resolve this whole thing by season's end, I'm going to be pretty pissed off...and don't think they can sustain the "will they or won't they break out in time" angle of the show for much more than 1 season.

The rule is supposed to discourage members from getting crazy and starting too many threads pushing other members threads from the first page. All in all, a good rule when enforced logically. The issue here is that the threads will be started regardless. We pretty much have a thread for every show broadcast on the big 4 networks plus several other channels. Therefore, who cares who starts the thread? The thread will exist and if somebody is willing to start it why put a stop to this? Not worth arguing about but it does seem like we have addressed this before. [/offtopic] On topic: I hope that the entire season really does run only 13 episodes. To be honest, I wish all the networks would move to 13 episode seasons. Quality over quanity. Not sure how 24 would handle that though. :) |

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) A month before the May upfronts, FOX has picked up its first new series for 2005-06, the drama "Prison Break." The show, about an engineer who concocts an elaborate plan to free his brother from death row, is the first of this spring's pilots to be picked up for next season. FOX has ordered 13 episodes, the showbiz trade papers report. "Prison Break," which stars Wentworth Miller ("Popular") as the engineer and Dominic Purcell ("John Doe") as his convict brother, is a product of FOX's emphasis on year-round development. It received a pilot order last fall after a spending a year in development and was among the first shows to be cast. The show's ensemble also includes Peter Stormare ("Fargo"), Sarah Wayne Callies ("Tarzan") and Robin Tunney ("The In-Laws"). Paul Scheuring ("A Man Apart") wrote the pilot and will serve as a co-executive producer. Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour," "After the Sunset") is directing the pilot and will also executive produce with Neal Moritz, Dawn Parouse and Marty Adelstein ("Tru Calling"). A showrunner hasn't been hired yet. The early pickup means "Prison Break" could be ready for a summer premiere, although FOX says it hasn't decided where the show will land on the schedule. |
That's a normal order for a new series. That doesn't mean that is how many eps are in the first season. If they do well, they are generally extended to a full season order.
|
That doesn't necessarily mean it won't run a full 22-24 episodes. It only means that they intially only committed to 13 eps.

Fox will have holes to fill by midseason. Heck, after 2 weeks of Head Cases, they already have one. :lol: |
