Prison Break Finale - Perfect

Wow. I wasn't sure that I would enjoy the series finale to Prison Break and I still don't think the final ten minutes beats out Six Feet Under, but the chills that ran down my spine the second that Sara bought the flowers was almost the same one I had throughout the Six Feet Under final sequence. This show made a living off of doing the unbelievable. This show made you sacrifice common sense and logic in order to follow it. Look at the finale as a terrific example. Kellerman is alive. What other show does that? When a character is "dead" that character is dead on any other show. Sara and Kellerman both effectivly came back to life in this show - but thats what Prison Break was about. That's what the show was about.

But for the final five minutes it was something more. For everything that we have been through over the four years of this show - in the end its a show about people. People who havent always done the right things and haven't done the right choices. The final five minutes showed how one man brought them all together. How one man saved everyone. Am I upset that Michael is dead after watching the show for four seasons and the "happy ending" for everyone wasn't acheived. I was at first, but I am so satisfied with the way that the show ended and where everyone is today. Michael Scofield was the change he wanted to see in the world. All the bad things that everyone did - he changed everyone. He mad everyone at the grave that day a better person and he lives on with our characters in that way. Amazing Show. Amazing Ending. Loved every second of the finale.

The finale of a show to me is everything. The finale and how everything ties together can make or break a shows position on my "all-time" favorites list. As it stands now...here are my rankings for shows I have watched every episode of...

1. Six Feet Under

2. Prison Break

3. Alias

4. Friends

It was fitting indeed. The final 10 minutes were brilliant, absolutely perfect. My favorite series finale, along with the Shield.

Well Michael being dead, means no PB movie in the works!

It was good but what was with the 2005 death date that's a mighty big error so it has me wondering if there was a deeper meaning.

The last 10 minutes was fantastic, but the rest was far from perfect. Still, a great finale.

It was vintage Prison Break. Unbelieveable things you have to put to the side for the sake of drama. Aka the bomb not going off, Mahone getting into the room with his phone (lol?), Mom surviving the explosion itself...etc etc

JPPT - Movie still in the works. Movie takes place right were the 2004 timeline of the story ended in the finale. Michael is still alive in the movie.
