Wild Easter Holiday Blues-Chapter 2: Why Prison Break Season 3 will be a drag

Since the strip club turned out to induce claustrophobia within me, I began thinking about a Prison Break. It was part of the Easter holiday activities that were on the Kujandani Menu. BA (Bootleg Addicts) degree holders had managed to get episode 12-20 of the Prison Break (Season 2) super series. We chucked out of the strip club at around 3 in the morn after gauging the dancers on a scale of 1-10. I remember there was a yellow page (fair skinned) girl, who was a 9 then an 8 and the rest were 6s and even a 4. The club manager was very polite compared to most nightclubs that I have frequented. He was discreetly walking around and noting any lax service from the waiters/waitresses. That’s mostly cause the club is still young and trying to establish its fame.

We found our way back to the bachelors pad in the early morning cold. After waking just before midday, we immediately slotted in the Prison Break DVD. This meant that we put our cell phones on vibrate, stacked pillows on our seats and drew the curtains. It was just going to be Schofield, Burrows, Sarah, Teabag, Special Agent Alex, The Company and us.

We watched na mshangao as Teabag went through psychosis, The Company operated with impunity, the FBI sweated the escaped convicts and a president getting blackmailed. As expected, the complicated maze of drama left us in the Lost and Found box of twists. In the end, we came to a single but painful conclusion; there is no need for Season 3.

The Professor Wannabes at Kujandani Observatory put forth the following reasons for the non-existence of the 3rd season:
All the evidence that the brothers had to bring down the company was gone. The tape that incriminates the president cannot be used in court and was rendered invalid after she resigned. In addition, the original tape cannot be found.
Terrence Steadman (president’s brother) is dead and he was the only witness who could prove Lincoln Burrow’s innocence. His body cannot be identified.
The above reasons bring us to the final interpretation. There is really no reason for the company to kill the two brothers. All they have is hearsay.

If the writers want to force a story line for the hat trick season then they cannot score with The Company. They should just stick to the normal chase of fugitives and the cash that Teabag had. In that case Special agent Alex will have his family back in the safe zone therefore Schofield’s arch enemy will be invalid. This still brings us back to the necessity of The Company to make Season 3 a success. But the gamble will lead to a story that drags on and on. What will finally happen is what made Lost loose the momentum gained in its debut season.
