I dropped this show 1/2 way through S2, but, I'm sort of intrigued by the new premise, which is a good little twist on S1, so I have it tivo'd, we'll see if I get around to watching it...

I went from really enjoying S1 to finally being fed up with the ridiculousness of it in S2 and almost dropping it to being drawn back in by that same ridiculousness at the end of S2.

So, I can't wait to see how they work together to get out of Sona - I wonder if they'll be stuck in there most of the season, like they were in S1?

Yes this show is ridiculous and none of it's plot is plausible at all, but it's still fun. It was the only thing that kept FOX Monday's from being a total disappointment last season.

He'll find an ancient Panamanian who knows the secrets to erasing them and slowing making new tats with a fork and food coloring. Itll really help since douche cant remember shit and has to have it tatooed.

S2 was my first season of the show and I couldnt believe people liked it so much. Im not sure if I'll record it tonight but I may and watch it while I work out. Ill be getting K-Ville anyway.

Those tatoos are pretty extensive. I'm pretty sure he anticipated having to break out of a Panamanian prison at some point when he was designing them.

On network television? I somehow doubt it - I mean that I doubt it will be disturbing.

I cant belive all the hate for season 2. It was a much better season then the 1st, especially when you watch em all together in a marathon seccion on dvd.

Watching the stupidity now. Love how it looks like a fucking beach resort with HDtvs. Dumber than hell so far.

Oh and there was no recap?

I liked it.

So some government agency (or the military?) wants this Whistler fella out of there? Interesting. Wonder what Versailles 1980 V. Madrid means...

Sure, it's moronic how LJ and Sara get caught all the time, but it's at least interesting that they purposely had Michael put in Sona. I'm guessing they had Mahone put in there for the same reason...to help Michael.

That way, they won't have to worry about continuity as much - not that it really mattered before...

It's a decent start to the new season. Didn't need to see Bellick in tighty-whities, though.

Well the new season definitely has my attention. The new locale adds a bit of spice to the series. Even though they're recycling a bit from the first season, hopefully they can add in a few new twists to make this one better than the second.

I thought the premiere fired on all cylinders, which the second season did not for the most part. I loved the fight scene with Scofield and think they've set up a pretty interesting overall premise... yeah, it's lost all grounding in reality and they've thrown continuity out (where are michael's tats? even with that shirt on, the collar is pretty large, we'd see them) but the show has always been far fetched and so far this season seems pretty exciting and should make for some very fun TV.
