Prison Break - Season 1 vs. Season 3
I’ve seen some people discussing the parallels between Season 1 and Season 3. Perhaps TPTB want to emulate the success of Season 1 as much as possible?!?!
Here are just a few of the similarities… can you come up with more?
- Youth Character. In both seasons there is a young character that needs Michael’s support. [Tweener in Season 1, McGrady in Season 3]
- Mafia Character. In both seasons there is a character that is somewhat “mafia-like”. These characters both were against Michael in the beginning but then join in the escape. [Abruzzi in Season 1, Lechere in Season 3]
- LJ in Danger. In both seasons LJ is kidnapped and held captive. [Kellerman in Season 1, Susan B. in Season 3]
- Authority Overthrown. In both seasons the authority is overthrown at some point. [Abruzzi loses PI in Season 1, Sammy takes over from Lechero in Season 3]

Well .. I’ll give this a try ..
1 - On both Seasons, Michael is placed in a penitentiary, with the purpose to break out another guy. [Linc in Season 1 and James Whistler/Mc Fadden/Gary Miller in Season 2]
2 - On both Seasons, there is an ‘actual prison break-out’. [Mike, Linc, T-Bag, Sucre, C-Note, Abruzzi, Haywire and Tweener in Season 1 and Mike, Mahone, Whistler and Mc Grady in Season 2]

i dont see a comparison between tweener and mcgrady as in season 1, michael approached tweener (to break out), and in season 3, mcgrady approached michael :)
my comparisons are; sucre and mcgrady
sucre and mcgrady both helped michael when he needed something :)

TPTB = The powers that be.
Or the writers/FOX in other words.

3 - Both characters who were against Michael in the beginning but then join in the escape, ultimately die. [ Abruzzi on “First Down”, and Lechero on “the episode that he has to die yet”, lol, forgive me for not remembering WHICH ep .. lol :-P ]
It's Prison, Yo!

I also see similarities in Susan/Gretchen and Kellerman. They are both evil villans who work for The Company.
@Rainbow,
McGrady and Tweener are similar because they’re both teenage prisoners who needed Mike’s help escaping. It doesn’t matter who asked who.

andrew - TPTB stands for “The Powers That Be” - i.e. the writers, producers, directors…

no matter what anyone says, season 1 was way better than season 3. in season 1 you had sarah AND veronica. and there was still abruzzi. plus michael and sara kiss for the 1st time. it was an awesome season.

tunnels to get out of prison
brace support used in escape, “the taj” and the hole in the tunnel
riots/fights used as a diversion

Seasons 1 & 2 were WAY better than S3 but hell, rather half an egg than nothing, hey?!
I love Prison Break, I think it’s the best series ever but does anyone know what happened in S3? Someone said the writer quit? That true?
