Prison Break: The Final 3 episodes -- "Cowboys and Indians" -- 5/8/09

Prison Break

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


As Christina's plan is executed, Michael and Linc are stuck at the Miami hotel where the energy conference is being held. Later, Pad Man makes good on a threat, and Michael must choose between Lincoln or Sara.



Next week will be the 2 hour series finale.

Looks like Linc and Michael are screwed.

I'm sad that its ending. I must be in the minority because I've never thought there was a dip in quality in the show, I take it for what it is and enjoy the heck out of it. That being out of the way....CAN'T WAIT.

I love this show to death, but I can see that season 3 may have been the reason why so many fans bailed on it and didn't bother with season 4. Also, alot of TV fans seem to have a major issue with long breaks killing the momentum of serialized shows like this.

Personally I thought season 4 rejuvenated the series creatively. I know however that it was really a stretch for the show to make it this far.

Looking forward to this, the series finale and the 2 hour DVD movie in July.

Personally, I like how they managed to make General Krantz seem relatively level-headed (explaining why he never went ahead with Christina's plan), while still keeping him firmly in the "evil" camp.

Loved his look of pure exasperation when dealing with T-Bag at the beginning of the episode, too.

Pretty good episode.

Michael is soooo screwed. I loved it when Michael, Linc and Mahone "robbed" the federal bank to get Scylla back. That shootout outside was pretty badass.

Was that a compound fracture on Self after he got out of the water....Ouch!

It's going to be an interesting final 2 hours (for the series) since there is still 2 more hours after that for the DTV 2 hour movie.

Wow. I cannot wait for the finale and the "epilogue" after that. I have faith Michael will do the right thing, somehow. And I'm still holding out hope that T-Bag gets some sort of redemption.

Michael Michael..oh boy

decisions, decisions...

Sarah (baby mama) or Linc (wild gorilla) ?

hmm...

naw, but honestly Prison Break had become one of my favorite show the first couple seasons, then i was kinda of nervous when S3 came around w/ all the SONA stuff. but i ended up digging that season and thought they should have just ended it there before they ended up doing more damage trying to stretch it out

then this season i damn near abandoned the show because of the whole storyline and the fact that the first 8, 9, 10 episodes were HORRIBLE, but i think they have redeemed themselves since then... if you ignore the general plot/storyline and concentrate on the action and watchability it's like the early seasons.

next week should be fun

NO MATTER HOW IT ENDS THOUGH, NO SHOW HAS TOOK A WORST DIVE IN QUALITY THEN HEROES (SOMEONE THERE NEEDS TO DIE!!!) the finale was the only watchable episode of the season IMO and it wasn't even that great

They keep listing her in the credits but never show her. So maybe she'll be in the finale.

That was a great episode! It just keeps getting better each week. That was so messed up when the General gave the order right in front of self! And the Generals line "You had a request?" was perfectly delivered. That actor does such a good job with the character. Any other actor would just ham it up. He seems born to play the general.

Next weeks finale looks like it will go out on top. Cant fucking wait!

Every week people ask this question. And every week I respond with the same answer:

THERE IS NO PROOF THAT SHE IS DEAD! She got shot once, and it seemed to strongly imply that she needed medical treatment; Lincoln even said something to the effect of "I won't kill you now so your daughter can at least visit you in prison" and "don't tell the cops what is going on."

In fact, you can even hear the sirens and that seems to imply that Gretchen will be apprehended, taken to a hospital, treated, and then probably go to jail for killing those guys.

What's weird is that Jodie Lynn O'Keefe's name continues to show up in the opening credits, though that could just be a contractual thing.

It wasn't bad...wasn't good either...I love the first two seasons, these last two have been decent popcorn entertainment.

But it was a fun ride...hopefully the "movie" wraps things up real nice.

Am I the only person screaming at Lincoln for his astounding stupidity in picking up the rifle, firing it (giving away their location), and leaving his fingerprints on it for the police to find?

Your not alone. I could not believe his stupidity in doing that.

I often compare this show to 24 because of the over the top craziness ... but this is the kinda of stuff that separates PB from 24. 24 does some crazy stuff... but I don't think they do anything as blatantly stupid as this.

Or am I just more forgiving when it comes to 24?


Next week:
Spoiler:
Secure is back!

Did we ever see the black guy's body? IIRC, he went into the water. Not that it matters too much - even having your head in a box doesn't mean you're dead on P.B. Wouldn't that be something if he turned up in the last episode.

Can't wait to see how they wrap it all up.
