    Yes one here in the other hemisphere. I like both seasons...
    Only one thing brings me down though, the fact that I'll have to wait for another 2 or 3 months before I can see what happens to the fugitives.
    However one thing really pisses me off, in the USA this series are broadcasted earlier in every opportunity, so when it reaches here it's probably already over up there...

    It's really rare to see so good scripts and direction (acting too) in series, with the exception of productions in HBO. So I truly enjoy this one.

    Do you get spurs games?
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Of course there's hermano... Not Spurs per se, but NBA games in general, broadcasted by ESPN. With so many argentinians playing on the NBA it's good business for any company to deliver as much as they can... For what I know the Sport especialized channels always offer especialized programing for each country they operate.

    Well I love prison theme with movies, series etc. Prison Break is fine but I doubt I'll ever come across with a masterpiece like OZ. Prison Break smells like a clean, tidy, powdered kid compared to stinking-like-beast OZ.

    " In OZ, you don't have friends, you have people you need. ".. Wise enough, ain't it ?

    OZ is different than Prison Break. OZ was like a Purgatory (or maybe the hell itself). There was no thought of escape, only the instict of surviving. The series had plenty of action but also another objective, to present the human behaviour, the human reactions in the toughest conditions.
    Prison Break is more action based. The characters here have a plan of escaping. And also friends not only people they need.

    Tottenham Hotspur aka Spurs is an English soccer team in Premier league. My brother used to be a spurs fan when they had Eirik Thorstvedt as goalie.

    I guess your Spurs reference is to the Texas NBA team San Antonio Spurs.
    I once saw a little NBA Basketball on the telly and one of my favourite teams was in fact San Antonio Spurs, with Denis Rodman, David Robinson and Sean Elliot.

    Oh, season two has not been aired yet over here, but there are remedies for this.
