Prison Break Season 4 Promos — FIRST LOOK

Wentworth, please come out of the closet already! Everyone knows you’re gayer than Neil Patrick Harris and Lance Bass put together.

1)I’m a girl and I’m not gay
2)sorry for my english,it’s not my mother language

Sara Tancredi not being an integral part for the show? I completely disagree. Who was the person who left the door open for them to be free? And there are numbers of reasoning why she’s a vital character and adds a major asset to the show.

@Wentlove,

I understand that a few people doesn’t like her character back, including you, so it seems, and that is okay. As far as her not having a job, excluding Prison Break, she was recently called upon to be a part of a new show. She’s marketable around the globe for her exceptional talent and attitude towards her fans. She has a lot of fans who appreciates her work, but if you think otherwise? That’s a matter of own personal taste and opinion.

“I’d axcept immediatly to come back in PB cuase I don’t have a role now,I need to find a job””

Where have you read this? Are you just making it up? JJ topics? Where? You mean to say the one where they wanted to shoot her death scene after her maternity leave? Was that what you were referring to? Coz I can do a rebuttal and show you proofs of articles from TV Guide and other articles from magazine spreads that says that explain details and reasoning of her abrupt departure and why they decided to bring her back.

I would like to quote some of the mass letters sent to Fox network a couple of months ago:

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my utter contempt at your removal of the character of Dr Tancredi from Prison Break, but before I start my tirade it might be prudent for you to know something about me.

I’m not a young, star-struck fangirl. On the contrary, I am a mature woman with a family, and excellent understanding of the distinction between real life and fantasy. I hail from a family where academic snobbery abounds, and I am a true product of this environment. I say this to neither big note or belittle - I simply want you to get an idea that many of your watchers are capable, balanced and relatively insightful people.

Prison Break has been my favourite form of television escapism (pun intended) for the past two seasons, but due to your treatment of my favourite character, combined with your irksome manipulation of the internet rumour mongers, I am abandoning the show with a heavy heart. It didn’t have to be this way, but from all accounts you are not particularly worried about losing fans who are disillusioned with the Tancredi Beheading Storyline.

I wonder if you understand the type of meltdown you have caused? You must! Surely you are not testosterone-hewn ignoramuses, sitting about on your laurels with little or no concept of how decapitating a strong, smart female character would affect viewers?

Heck, even my bilingual, professor-computer-nerd spouse is amazed at this turn of events, and he rarely watches television at all! He ponders about the motivation, about the need to shock and disturb in this particular show. Being a firm fan of very violent shows, like The Sopranos and Oz and a lover of movies such as Se7en, All things Tarantino and Kubrick, he sees nothing cutting edge (pun intended) about the beheading of a respected character.

In fact, in our discussions of the subject, all we see is imitation and an attempt to badly finalize a story arc that could have gone many places, but was slaughtered by inadequacies with character understanding, writing quandaries and creative ideas.

Very disappointing. Something we certainly didn’t expect after the claustrophobic tightness of Season 1, nor the slightly whimsical threads of The Manhunt in Season 2.

The following is something I posted on my writing blog regarding the senseless, stressful build up you created about Sarah Wayne Callies’ return/non return - and it seems appropriate to quote it here. Again, I’m unsure whether you understand the disruption you have caused to Season Three for some of the Dr Sara fans - many have been unable to reconcile the current plot nuances with the Prison Break they have known and loved for the past two years.

This is taken from a discussion some weeks before the final ‘reveal’ was made about Dr Tancredi’s fate in 3:04, when some of the fans were struggling to make sense of the rumours and conjecture:

Recently, I have been wondering about the internet making us into ‘need to know now’ people, and this is probably true about the scenario with SWC - we are being held in suspense and we hate (using your words) ‘feeling powerless about it.’ I agree with this. I hate it too, but I think it is more than that.

We are being treated like dimwit fruitcakes to some extent. We love a show, we are interested in the characters and most of us are balanced and insightful enough to comprehend that often family is far more important than work. I think this is concrete in my head - a decision of an actress to leave a TV show as she embarks on a new phase of her life is a temperate, understandable action to take.

I wonder if the anger/disappointment/sense of upset you feel is the way it has been handled? The smugness of the bloggers (needing to protect their own interests, of course, but still nauseatingly satisfied in their own knowledge) the carefully worded statements of a writer who has used his name in PB to sell a novel (he might be very nice and very hardworking, but he has also achieved publicity from his internet exposure) the complete silence on the matter of the actress. We are being asked to love a show that is effectively treating us as people who are unable to understand and properly appreciate a story because we know of a decision made by an actress?

Hmm.

The move to kill Sara Tancredi is mind-boggling to say the least (and this is me putting on my rational hat and being awfully calm).

I enjoyed Prison Break for its silly twists and turns - totally unrealistic but very addictive - and I especially appreciated the quieter moments between Michael and Sara. Brief respites of humanity amidst the horror of Fox River. Season One was fun.

Season 2 started to show a lot of wear and tear I thought. The silly twists and turns started to feel like padding to fill out the full 20+ episode season. Things started to drag. Still the closet romantic in me liked the Michael-Sara dynamic. Their friendship/romance was a nice contrast to all the male testosterone and conspiracy theory going on.

Alas, the drastic axing of Sara (pun fully intended) from the series reeks of desperation. Doesn’t this remind one of ‘Alien3′ when everything good and great about ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens’ was wiped out in the opening credits with the death of Newt and Hicks? And then Ripley kills herself. It basically makes a mockery of the earlier films. Yes, indeed, it is a slap in the face of folks who have cheered Ripley on in the 1st 2 Alien films.

The killing of a well-loved character colours everything that has gone before. How could one view PB Season 1 and 2 again without the image of the box in one’s mind? Not very subtle people, not very subtle.

We viewers have received the tightest slap across our faces. Two wonderful seasons unceremoniously flushed down the drain. Not sure if I’ll be following Season 3. Unless Dr Tancredi makes a surprises resurrection (in a conspiracy theory world, anything can happen right?).

WORD! Thanks, RC, for posting these.

Though I would like to read more. It flutters my heart to see all these comments made by fans that were adamant to bring Sarah’s character back on Prison Break.

Thanks again for sharing.

You can see some of the numerous projects and sorts the fans came up with. The most recent and last one I believe was posted on the link provided (I think there were about 8-10 mass mailings in total). There were also other affiliates around the globe that helped tremendously. I read somewhere that we had a lot of help from Spain, though I am not completely sure.

I will post a couple more if I read snarky comments around here. I think it’s about time to rectify and not make it one track sided. Sarah’s character, Sara Tancredi is just not for the romance.

Sorry for making you upset, but right now, I would like to ignore you. Have a great day.

sorry for double post,it didn’t work for awhile,excuse me!

There were also petitions for not bringing her back…
so?

@RC,

Woah! That was one heck of a campaign. It look so organized and most of the people behind it are simply talented. Very remarkable and just staggering. Thank you for sharing ;)

As for me, I’m glad that Sarah is back. Though I am more interested in looking at the hot guys. Tehehehe but I’m glad that Sara is back nonetheless.

Bwahahaha! Look at this. So damn clever and witty!!! Dang now I wished I could have been there tagging along!!! The community looks so much fun :D
