Nick Santora answered some questions from a German Prison Break fan site on PBreakFans …
Are You Disappointed in the Season Premiere Ratings?
Nick: You always want more people to watch your show, but it was the Labor Day holiday and millions of Americans were still traveling back to their homes when the show was on. Also, the Republican Convention was on and that drew a huge audience. Television viewing was low across the board that night, but we were still the number 1 show of the night.
Why is There no Intro to Season 4?
Nick: There is an intro - it just wasn’t used on premiere night.
How much Time to Write an Episode?
Nick: It depends - it usually takes a couple of weeks to come up with the outline and a couple of days to write it … writing the script is always easier than figuring out the outline (we call it “breaking the story”).
Which Episode Are You Working on Now?
Nick: We are working on episode 13 right now (writing) and filming episode 10
Do you think the Motivation of the Actors is Still as big as at the Beginning?
Nick: Of course, our actors are pros.
Do you Believe in a 5th Season?
Nick: If you’re asking if I believe there will be a fifth season, my answer is that I hope there will be. If a 5th season is ordered, well, that is up to the network. They are our partners in the show and have been a pleasure to work with. If they think PB has finished its run, then we will all respect that decision and move on to our next projects. I hope to work with Fox for a long time.
Which is your favorite season of Prison Break?
Nick: It’s a toss-up between Seasons 1 and 2.
The name Prison Break almost doesn’t match to the stories of Season 4. Do you think this is a disadvantage?
Nick: No, people know what they are watching by now.
What do you Think About Spoilers?
Nick: I think spoilers are stupid, frankly. Fans of shows try so hard to find out what is going to happen and then they post it all over the internet and then they complain that shows aren’t surprising. Well, you can’t surprise people if the storylines are online. I think it is very lame.
