Fair warning - Spoilers abound young ones, spoilers abound.

So I watched the first two episodes of Prison Break last night. With the exception of a few brief moments of brilliance (mainly from Alex Mahone, who continues to be the coolest character of the series) this show has taken the single biggest plunge into ridiculous territory I have EVER seen. After the exceptional first season and the great second series (which remained good until the very last episode), we get the A-Team, minus BA Baracus and the most ridiculous hurried endings to ongoing plot threads I have ever seen. The term lazy writing doesn’t even do what I’m thinking justice because they really showed how much they’ve hacked this concept to bits.

First of all removing all of Michael’s tattoos is a complete joke. Seriously. Not that the tattoos had anything to contribute in the last season, but still it’s such a crock of shit that he got all of those tattoos removed overnight. If only it were that easy.

And then of course there is the whole Sarah is not dead issue. See we had made our peace with the character moving on. No instead they’ve brought her back because her scheduling issues have been sorted out. WTF man? I take solace in the fact that Michael is no longer whispers when he talks…speaking of Whistler, that was quick. I mean seriously he lasted what 2 minutes into the fourth season? His whole international man of mystery routine was far too token.

Sona burnt down? I mean of all the lazy, stupid fucking idiotic plot turns this one really takes the cake. You spend a year watching them trying to break out and the conveniently it burns down and all the inmates escape unscathed and back in the States. You can’t see me now, but I’m rolling my eyes.

And then there was one. T-bag. Easily the character that is going to really have a massive face off with Michael by the end of the season, something tells me that he will come out on top. That or Alex will give himself up (since they killed his family) to take down T-bag. This then lets that idiot Link forgive him or some such rubbish. Hell I’m only watching this now because I enjoyed the first 2 seasons so much. That’s where they should have ended it. Damn you Paul Scheuring, you sold out man. You could have had something great, but instead you extended it into mediocrity.
