rooting for the "wrong" side
Lately I've been catching up on Prison Break. I thought season 1 was one of the best seasons of any show ever. The other seasons are mildly entertaining and I keep watching, but nothing will top the first season. And the reason for that is because season 1 was a complex prison break. It was so well written and well thought out.
I have always loved prison break movies, which explains my appeal to the show. Escape from Alcatraz and Count of Monte Cristo are two of my all time favorites. And in both the movies and the television show, I find myself rooting for the "bad" guys. I root for the escape to happen! I like to think that the guys from Alcatraz (based on a true story) survived the bay and got away!
It made me think, I root for the "wrong" side a lot. And I think most people do. I mean, when someone is guilty of a serious crime that hurts someone I hope they are caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But I would be lying if I said that I never rooted for the "bad" guys.
I don't think I'm alone in this, but maybe I am. I mean, am I crazy?

If you like prison break you should watch the Oz series on HBO - it was awesome and much more realistic.
In a lot of corny movies, I usually toss out comments like, "I'm gonna sing every word I say" and "I have the best voice" when the song is awful. If I'm not a writer when I grow up, I'm gonna be a critic.
Yea i guess it depends on the situation.
honestly i thought you were talking about rooting for the wrong team. Done that before to. oops.
