Anyone else been disappointed with Prison Break S3 so far? I've found it all to be a bit predictable...

  I was really exicted about it coming back for season 3 but then after a good first episode it went downhill up until episode epsidoes 6 and 7 where I think it brought itself back a bit. I'd like to see Mahone back to his normal self and Teabag more in it too. Still not as good as the first 2 seasons by a long shot but I'm still gonna watch it.

  My wife and I have only watched the first 4 or 5 episodes and we are getting bored already. Not sure if I can be bothered watching it anymore - there's so much more to do these days...

If I did not already know that Kiefer is signed up for another 2 seasons I almost thought he was about to commit suicide at the end! I also thought that Doyle was being brought in as an eventual Jack replacement - he seemed really evil to start with but as we get to know him his true colours have shown. Shame they seem to have already written his character out (unless they give him an eye transplant or something equally unrealistic).

What did everyone think of the finale to 24 then? I enjoyed it, even though the last half hour or so seemed really slow, and I was waiting for a massive twist which never came.

I get the feeling that Jack is coming to the end of his central role in the series, and I'd like to see Day 7 concentrate more on other CTU members (I thought Doyle was being lined up as a Jack clone for this purpose until the explosion)

  I watched the finale last night, and thought it was a very good end to (IMO) a poor 3rd season. Real gripping stuff, funny, tragic, twisting all at the same time.
  
  I'll certainly watch the first few episodes of S4, even if just to find out where/when we are now!

Hmm, i think Prison Break is certainly the best at the moment. It's smart with twists that are believable and not overly unrealistic. Great actors and characters too. They've got it spot on at the moment.

Season 6 of 24 has been the one of the best in my opinion. Even after watching all 6 seasons almost one after the other over past few months i am still hooked.

LOST - i still watch this for some reason. I totally agree with Kier in that is both infuriating and captivating. Sometimes it seems they're just making up as they go along. I hope they end it at 4th series to be honest.

Now Heroes is certainly up there with PB! Me and my friends can talk about this forever and i think it appeals to a lot of people. Everyone wants to be a Hero inside! Just watched the season finale last night and felt lost afterwards. Def can't wait for that to be back. Anyone know when it is?

Don't worry John - I won't tell you what happens It was good though, the series now seems to be going in a completely different direction. The start of season 4 will be interesting to say the least!

The season finale of Lost was out last night. I've not seen it yet but I've heard some really good things about it. Here's a link to an article which has a summary of what happened and some people's thoughts on the episode (warning - contains spoilers!) http://www.be-something.com/2007/05/23/lost-season-3-episode-22/

I will post again tomorrow after seeing it for myself!

  Thanks Ryan.

24 / Heroes love them and they are the only must watch TV I have to see each week. So in a few weeks time I will have nothing to watch

Prison Break I only just completed season 1 DVD box-set last week and loved it, but as missed start of season 2 I am waiting for that to come fully out in box set, I know part 1 of season 2 is out or about to come out but rather wait for the full thing.

  Series 2 of Prison Break ends amazingly! Really makes me look foward to the next series in a big way.

Guys you are wrong

Heroes is the best thing on TV at the moment. I used to watch Prison Break but got bored about 7 episodes into season 2 so gave it up. Still watch 24 and Lost religiously though, love them!

  Agreed, Heroes is pretty good. Though the whole storyline with people gaining super powers in order to save the world and create a brighter future seems to have been re-hashed a lot lately. I mean there's X-Men, The 4400, Threshold (before it got axed) and now Heroes.
  
  Saw the season finales of Heroes and 24 last night. I have to say - Heroes was more entertaining than 24! Jack - don't jump!

Yeah I know everyone says its good....just never got round to it really. Lost is kind of varied, sometimes its infuriating sometimes its captivating. I'm just coming up to the final episode of season 3 and its got very interesting again.

  I'm losing patience with Lost - As we currently stand (only the double-episode finale to go in S3), I really am getting the feeling we've been here before:
  1. The Others are coming to steal us/the children
  2. There is the chance some of us could escape from the island
  3. There's a new hatch we hadn't got into before
  4. Lets go collect a load of Dynamite from the Black Rock and rope Rosseau in
  
  Aren't they just recycling the S1 finale?
  
  Agree that S4 better start off with a bang, or I might not bother (Failing that, if we could just see more shots of Kate wearing very little, that would be fine for me)

  Well - my thoughts on lost are:
  
  It started off really well in season 1, a plane crashes on a mysterious island. We learn about all the survivors, we learn about the island. There are other people on the island. There are mysterious forces on the island.
  
  Season 2 was all about "the hatch". There are new survivors, things heat up when someone does a deal with "the others". It's only OK. Things got a bit better and levelled off towards the end of the season.
  
  The beginning of season 3 was tiring and uninteresting. We're now nearing the end of season 3 and finally we get some snippets about what happened on the island - who the others are etc...
  
  It only took 3 seasons to get this far! Season 4 better be good otherwise I might just give up on Lost.

Prison Break rules, never watched 24. How about Lost though surely?

  Bizarrely enough, I couldn't get into Lost. Should probably try it again though!
  
  You should try 24

Having watched all 24 and Prison Break episodes to date, I am still very much in favour of 24 over Prison Break.

The more recent season of 24 has been a little bit dry in terms of action and story. There have been some moments and big plot twists though. We learn a lot about Jack's family, eventually see some classic Jack action and get 2 storylines for the price of one. I personally find that annoying but it does mix things up a bit and we now have the Chinese as the baddies - much fresher for 24.

I must say that the best 24 quote ever came a couple of episodes ago. To set the scene, Jack is found by fellow CTU agent Doyle lying amidst approx. 20 dead terrorists and not far from 2 nuclear warheads which he just recovered and disarmed. Doyle looks around in wonder and then says "Damn Jack!"

  Hmmm.. have to say I think I'm preferring Prison Break atm - For me 24 has become far too predictable - the formula has been done for six series now: Jack won't die (or he might, but only for a few minutes at a time), the plot changes tack roughly halfway through the series, something big always happens with 2 minutes of the episode to go, there's always a mole/double agent but sometimes these change sides a few times, etc, etc.
  
  Prison Break on the other hand is fresh - There's still a formula, but they're not afraid to deviate from it, and go off in a totally different direction. The way they've ended the storyline of the first two series and set up the storyline for the third onwards was pure genius, and I can't wait till August now!
  
  Still wouldn't miss 24, but out of the two. Prison Break just wins out - Now who would win a fist fight - Jack or Lincoln?
  
  Forgot to say, my favourite line from 24 was waaay back in the first episode of S2 - Jack's interrogating a suspect who's being a bit cocky about cutting a deal. time being of the essence, Jack decides to shoot him between the eyes right infront of Mason (Jack's boss). He then has problems moving the guy due to him a dead weight so radios through to CTU and says "I'm gonna need a hacksaw" - Edit: found it on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgx_FzHfPpk

  Good point Ryan.
  
  You can't beat classic Bauer taking on a few terrorists/crazy people!
  
  I do also find myself enjoying the shows more if I'm watching them on DVD for the first time instead of having to wait each week.
