    This was among the top three shows on TV when removed. The networks are moving towards Reality Shows where they don't have to "PAY ACTORS" any more.
    THE REALITY CRAP IS BEING RUN INTO THE GROUND.I'm
    about ready to get rid of TV and the cost hide show

    Prison Break was and has been one of my all time favorite television shows. My wife and I have watched each and every episode at least twice. I have watched some three times now. In the beginning for the first three of four eppisode's I'll admit that I had to take time settling in to the mood and the flow of the show. But from then on I was hooked, and no way would I miss a show unless we at least taped it so that we could watch it when we got back home. I am 100% disabled from the Army, so a large part of my entertainment is from television. I think that the selection of the actors and actress's for the program were really great and each one really made me feel as though that person was the person they were portraying. The flow of the story line that the writers produced from episode to episode I liked. They all flowed together from week to week, and always made me feel like I couldn't hardly wait for the next week. They always seemed to
    pick a place right where you really had to know what was going to happen;----then jerked the rug out! Nope have to wait, suffer and you can see next week!

    All in all an extremly well written, placed, produced and acted out T.V. show. In my opinion this should never have been taken off of T.V.

    Cable used to be to get away from commercials. Now
    it's all sex pills, or products. Language that I used in the Marine's. And to make it worse, pop-ups
    right during the show's and movies! Keep taking the good shows off, and having the gross commercials and I'm going to Stop Paying so darn much for my Satellite service and just go back to free TV with the box I had to buy. Then I can watch TV on line for free!

    Great Finale, could be worse, but the writers managed to end things in an interesting way. hide show

    The last episode of prison break was not bad, was good, but could be a lot better.

    Let´s begin with t-bag, he didn´t ended dead, which is nice, is destiny was more fitted to be in prison. The role he played in this episode was perfect. Sucre and C-Note turned to be 007 agents, which is another strange things, not only that, they were able to escalate the building like Michael, if Spiderman was the one who helped him, is a mystery.

    This could be a happy ending, the bad guys are alive and didn´t die, they ended in Prison. As expected, almost all the great ended well and free. The last surprise is what marked this episode.

    Presentation Phase - » (7/10) good beginning,
    Complication Phase - » (8/10) the last complication, getting caught, running etc,
    Climax Phase - » (8/10) good enough,
    Ending - » (9/10) sad ending, mixed with some happiness,
    Details/Progress (To point A to B) -» (10/10) rushed episode,
    Time and Scene Management - » (10/10) seems that we didn´t have filler
    Plot Details/Holes- » (6/10) Kellerman sudden resurrection with strange influence and Michael illness, and how Christina survived, the rest was fine
    Suspense/Tension - » (9/10) nice scenes with tension and suspense,
    Drama - » (10/10) a great character that like this show will be missed,
    Surprises/Shocks/Twists - » (9/10). Another old character back, but that was too predictable, some fates like Michael and Self was shocking, and very sad at the same time.

    Great Finale, could be worse, but the writers managed to end things in an interesting way.

    This episode was so perfect, but still so sad. hide show

    I have loved Prison Break ever since I saw the first episode. And I really didn't want it to end. This show has kept me on the edge so many times, and I just love it. But I guess all good things must come to an end, and what an end! Already when I saw Michael's nose bleeding at the beach, I knew. He was the only one that didn't survive, he never really got to be happy. And that's really a shame, he had deserved some true happiness, and watching his son grow up. But I'll guess Sara would take really good care of him, surrounded by her friends or should I rather say family now. PB forever

    Saddest finale ever . hide show

    I will remember this finale for my whole life. It wasn't probably the best finale ever , but it was very emotional. Here is the end to one of the greatest show in television, with a first season almost reaching perfection and with some high points in the following seasons. I think the suceess of this show relies on the powerful characters and clever plot lines , which season 4 lacked a little bit. I would like to say Robert Knepper is one of the greatest actors I have ever seen and did a great job in this show , I hope we see more of him. Well this is a sad day for me I have been a follower of this show since day one , but I think this was a good moment to conclude but one thing is for certain I will always remember this show as one of the greatest I have ever seen. Farewell Michael and Lincoln you are once and for all free.

  • Goof: Michael's gravestone states that he died in 2005. This contradicts Prison Break being set in the future as Caroline Reynolds became the 46th president in season 1. In real life, the president in 2005 was George W. Bush and he was the 43rd president. []
  • The scene where C-note and Sucre break into the loft you can clearly see that Amaury Nolasco has hair. In the very next scene outside he has a completely shaved head again. []
  • Michael's grave:

    MICHAEL J. SCOFIELD
    10.8.1974 - 11.4.2005
    Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Friend
    Be the change you want to see in the world

    The last line was Sara's senior quote. []
