I just watched Prison Break tonight. I actually liked it quite a bit. the show was definitely able to keep the stakes high throughout the two hour premiere. plus, I'm curious how he's going to fanagle things to work out. it was interesting at the least.

I've been looking forward to this show because I liked Dominic Purcell in John Doe. Whenever I saw the commercials for Prison Break, I kept thinking that the other guy looked familiar and I kept meaning to look up the cast list and then promptly forgetting. I finally got around to it recently and saw that he played the mysterious bad guy on the last two episodes of Joan of Arcadia last season!

I think that Prison Break is similar to 24 or Lost - if you are willing to buy the premise (or at least just accept it), you will probably enjoy the rest of the show. I originally thought this would be a tv movie when I first heard about the plot, so I'll be interested to see if they can keep up the process of escaping from the prison without making it too long and drawn out. I liked it enough to keep watching!

and don't forget that Wentworth Miller (or is it Miller Wentworth?) also guest starred on season 3 of Buffy in the ep, Go Fish. ha! ha! he seems to be a decent actor. he's got a great intensity and those eyes....wow those are great.

where was I? oh yeah. it reminds me too, of 24 in that it seems to be a gimmick show. it has an interesting premise, but what's going to happen after the first season? they couldn't possibly keep him in a prison for more than one season! but that's also what I thought about 24 and Lost. so color me wrong. I'm sure they'll think of something. also interesting to note, I saw Marti Noxon's name in the credits. I don't know how involved she is, but any involvement from her keeps my interest!

But did you see Point Pleasant? Blech!
