10/25/07 Prison Break

BuddyDebbie · 10-25-2007, 07:31 AM

Today's question is sort of about Prison Break, but mostly about the Prison Break spinoff that will be set in an all-female penitentiary. Are you excited about this? Check out buddytvgina's article about it here: http://www.buddytv.com/articles/pris...-sp-12921.aspx

Will you be watching this? What are you looking forward to most, or what are you not looking forward to most?

Discuss!

I haven't read the full article because of the spoilers but I'm just not sure. I mean, this season of Prison Break has me a lot less interested than the previous too. That bound to happen with shows, but I've found myself a lot more apathetic towards watching each episode so I'm not sure I'd be on board for a spin off. Its an interesting direction to take, and I would probably check it out, just not sure how much I like the idea.

It's sound iffy, but I'll give it a chance because I thought a spin off of Stargate SG1 was the worst idea ever... but Atlantis has surpassed SG1 by a mile in my view...

I think I'd rather that they make two story lines in one show, sort of like Heroes does or they did in the second season showing where all the inmates were. They could still have both stories but people loyal to the original series would watch the new character too.

I can't really say for sure if I would watch a spin-off or not. I might give it a try. But the thing is that I watch PB now mostly for certain characters that I've become kinda attached to (and none of them will likely be in the spin-off).

well, at first I, need to see who's this molly is, but I got to say, I hate her! with the whole spoilers about here and Mike! well I don't this I would be watching anyway!

julia4h · 10-25-2007, 01:04 PM

I won't watch it for the same reasons lila mentioned. I also don't think it'll be as good plot-wise cause with the tattoo and all there was a real escape plan behind everything Michael did and he planned that a long time. I don't think it will be that successful either cause not all PB viewers will watch it and why would people who don't watch PB watch this new show then?

bobbinrob · 10-25-2007, 02:36 PM

hard to say yet i think probably not at this stae. but molly hasnt even been cast yet so if i really like her charatcer then I will, but it just depends, and yeah like lila and julia said, my main in terest in pb is based on certain characters and they are not replaceable

I don't know yet.
The thing is with these ratings I'm not sure how much longer Prison Break will even be on. So this whole thing might not even happen.
Anyway, PB is an awesome show, but I'm not sure I would watch.
Although I'd definitely give the Pilot a chance, and see where to go from there.

Err, I already heard about that and I'm really annoyed by this idea of spin-off! Seriously, the third season of Prison Break isn't the best one (this is what I think, don't blame me for it ^^) and create a spin-off is just in order to make more money. This is the only reason! Producers thought the season three of Prison Break could make great ratings but they have to realize that the expectation isn't based! So they decided to make another project centered on the kind of same storyline. It's all about Prison after all! A prison for women and after what? A prison for children? A prison for dogs and cats? No, it's obviously crap!
I don't blame the future actress, I still don't know her and her work but I hope she'll realize that this project isn't great, just that!
I you want to see a really great show about women in prison, get an eye at "Bad Girls", one of the most brilliant show about prison! This supposed spin-off will never get in the footsteps of this british show, I swear!
And I really think what I posted because I'm a little fed up about those producers who only think about money and more money, neglecting the quality and the viewers. That's so upset!
