If ever there was a show with no memorable quotes, this is it – Prison Break

Spoilers, if you care.

It has become very difficult to get excited about Prison Break over the course of its second season. At first, I was hugely excited at the prospect of a runaway thriller sprawled across a whole ensemble (not to mention the whole of America) and lasting twenty-two episodes. The first few episodes were exactly what I had been hoping for: as entertaining as the show’s first season, but with a considerably racked up pace.

However, this proved impossible to maintain. Not only has the pace of the show buckled, the writers seem to be under the mistaken impression that any of the show’s characters, other than Michael and Kellerman, are in any way compelling or sympathetic. Sucre and C-Note, the romantics of the group, are perfect examples. They've spent fifteen episodes chasing their true loves; that could have made a decent jumping off point, but streching it over the whole season is dullness defined – who actually cares about these relationships? In last night’s episode, Sucre’s scenes consisted entirely of him stealing a kind old man’s car. This is Prison Break, not freakin' Waiting for Godot.
