When clues surface that suggest a previously thought-to-be-dead MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Miller, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow") may be alive, his brother, LINCOLN BURROWS (Purcell, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow"), reunites with Michael's wife, SARA (Callies, "Colony," "The Walking Dead"), and Fox River State Penitentiary's most notorious escapees to engineer the series' biggest breakout ever.

Original universe team up returns

 

[strafer]

I'm so in, so in.

Dom and Wenthworth are fucking hilarious together.

I hope they make lots of Legends of Tomorrow jokes.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I can't wait until Lincoln casts the spell to break into hell and free Michael from it.

That's the plot, right? Michael died in the movie.

Is there like a catchup to all this? I've forgotten everything.

There is a catchup in the OP: Mahone isn't in this.

So you can just start fresh since this is just a spin off.

Thanks!

Prison Break is what introduced me to the ever-varied world of TV shows. I went on to discover the likes of HBO and so much more as a result.

Fuck this cash grab though.

 

[DarthWoo]

I hope there are some Legends of Tomorrow references similar to how Mick and Leonard reminisce about the old days of breaking out of prisons on Legends. Maybe just a brief quip about wishing they had a time machine.

While all TV shows are technically cash grabs, this one came about through Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell working on Legends and then pitching the idea of more to FOX.

[dakun]

i'm as optimistic about this as i was about the Heroes reboot.. so not expecting anything good. Hopefully i will be surprised.

See you forget that things like Gretchen from Prison Break happened in the world.

So much stupid. I loved it.

Yeah well, fuck sanity too in the process, I guess.

 

[TripOpt55]

I'm expecting nonsense, but in a sort of fun way.

 

[windz]

Oh my god yes! Can't wait

 

[bebop242]

I'm in strickly for more T Bag.

 

[carlsojo]

Oh hey the Clock King is in this too!

 

[CMojicaAce]

The first show I ever really watched all the way through. I'll check out the first episode to see if I like it!

 

[Jason Frost]

T-Bag with a

I'M IN!

Oh shit, thanks for this! I don't remember much of what happened as it was so long ago.

 

[ZeroX03]

#5.01 "Ogygia" starts in 20 minutes!

It's been seven years since MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Wentworth Miller) was presumed dead, but when clues suggest that he might still be alive, LINCOLN BURROWS (Dominic Purcell) reunites with SARA TANCREDI (Sarah Wayne Callies) to help track down the truth. The path leads Lincoln to Yemen, as SUCRE (Amaury Nolasco), T-BAG (Robert Knepper) and C-NOTE (Rockmond Dunbar) are pulled back into the action to engineer the series' biggest escape ever.

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

Thanks for this thread. I'll be tuning in for sure.

 

[Line_HTX]

Oh man, I completely forgot about C-Note and that asshole Self.

 

[Line_HTX]

Menacing owl.



I died seven years ago.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I need to rewatch all the seasons of prison break. It's been too long

 

[Line_HTX]

I really dig the Arabic version of the theme.

 

[Line_HTX]

Oh, Fate. You mysterious bitch.

Fucking T-Bag please, lol




YOOOOO, SUCRE!


"Why does he get to go? He isn't any browner than I am!"

 

[this_guy]

The gang is back together. T-Bag went through the Winter Soldier program and has a metal arm. Season looks like it's off to a fun start.

 

[Line_HTX]

Wait, what the fuck???

 

[ColdPizza]

I thought t-bag was killed. Is this some alternate universe?

 

[NoctisVsStar]

That was a good opener.. fucking tbag is like a cockroach dude just keeps coming back he's the terminator now.

I thought t-bag was killed. Is this some alternate universe?

He was sentenced to life in S4

Maybe I'm thinking of William Finchter's FBI character.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Maybe I'm thinking of William Finchter's FBI character.

Ahh Mahone? He's alive.

 

[Line_HTX]

That was pretty fast paced and appearances by everyone altogether. Gotta say, I missed this show.

Now I'm wondering where did Michael get a suit with that name to put in the coffin...

 

[JStein0222]

Well paced, exciting, did almost everything you could ask from a single episode return with the circumstances of the show. I'm excited to see where it goes!

 

[SuperSonic1305]

While all TV shows are technically cash grabs, this one came about through Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell working on Legends and then pitching the idea of more to FOX.

I read somewhere that when Prison Break went up on Netflix it became one of the most popular shows which convinced them to bring it back.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

The dialogue from the son was god awful. Especially the storm bit at the end.

Loved the rest of it though.

 

[GodParticle]

Can't believe I'm getting another season of prison break absurdity. I loved that show. Really curious to see how well this does. Can't be worse than the heroes revival

 

[alr1ght]

So bad, but so great. Interested to see how it all plays out.

 

[ZeroX03]

That was cheesy garbage. I loved it!

It's been seven years, premium drama has risen, but this is still the same old clumsy dialogue, poorly directed action and insane plot twist madness. It's a throwback to the 2000s! They need more Wentworth, he's the anchor of the show and it's a lot to put on Dominic Purcell to carry the entire first episode. He's better at comedy as we learned on Legends.

 

[Realyn]

So Michael aka Kaniel(?) Outis aka Nobody has a ton of cash and paid for the OP. Can't figure out what the tats are supposed to mean, Eye of the storm would probably be too cheesy. Probably just something to break out.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

just watched it.

much better than season 4 so that's a good start.

 

[ldcommando]

Yep, that was enjoyable. I´m so glad prison break is back.

 

[Macka]

I really hope they don't stretch out

Spoiler

Michael pretending not to know them

. Aside from that, the cheesy dialogue and the annoyingly stupid

Spoiler

hitmen?

, and it was enjoyable enough.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

will only watch if miller and purcell are as campy as they are in the CW shows.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

So is it good (in a prison break way?) is it more like season 1 and 2 or more like 3 and 4?

 

[Lego Boss]

What is this shit?

This series should have ended after S2. I was one of the idiots who continued to watch it after that.

He fucking DIED

 

[ZeroX03]

So is it good (in a prison break way?) is it more like season 1 and 2 or more like 3 and 4?

Somewhere between the two I'd say after the first episode? It was very expository, dry and Lincoln heavy so the whole "Michael's got an insane plan" element wasn't there yet.
