The Terror of Death

I just finished watching the premiere and I must say, I was really disappointed. Major spoilers ahead.
As season openers go this season has got to be the worse. It felt like an episode was missing. First off we have no explanation of how Bellick, Sucre, and T-bag get out. The Panama prison isnt even shown. I would assume the FBI/Goverment guy who is helping Michael take down the company helped them but I was really looking forward to seeing that prison storyline continue. What bothers me even more is that they are in on the operation. Woudnt some FBI or goverment agents be more effective than some average joes? Then I assumed this season would be about Michael going after Whistler, Grechin, and Mahone but that story pretty much gets resolved in the first 15 minutes with Whistler dying at the hands of the company and Grenchin being fired. With Mahone on Michaels team so quickly I feel his character is going to suffer.
I felt Tancredes reunion with Michael was too sudden and he should have been misled for a couple more episodes. Michel going after revenge on his own would have made for some awesome episodes imo. Sara, Sucre, Bellick, and Link should not be apart of the plan. They have no experience and some agents would have been more logical and realistic.
T-bag has over stayed his welcome. Hes turned into somewhat of a comedic cartoon villian. I mean come on, getting revenge against Michael. Apparently he has a lot of money left over, a girl who loves him, and his freedom but he has to ruin his chance of a good life by choosing some petty revenge. He gets robbed, then stranded in the desert, and becomes a cannibal.
This show underwent a total revamp and I don’t like it. It feels like some action movie with the ex con and his friends taking down some big company threat in exchange for their freedom. I blame the writers strike. 9 episodes would have been more than enough to finish the Prison Break series but no they had to drag it on and make a full 22 episode season. I know the season is going to get better but I still feel like it should have ended last season.
Now for the good parts. I liked the scene with Michael and Sara saying how they should start all over. Then the scene with Link telling Michael about how he remembered his father and the gangs choice with their own free will about taking down the company was pretty good. Whistler being shot was unexpected but cool. And Roland seems like a pretty cool minor character. Other than that these episodes were pretty lame.
Anyone else got to see it and what are your thoughts?
