Prison Break [Contains Spoilers]

[GrandTheftAudio]

I agree, Prison Break is an immense show. Here are the ratings from 2005-2009:

Average viewers in millions:

2005 - 2006 = 9.2
2006 - 2007 = 9.3
2007 - 2008 = 8.2
2008 - 2009 = 5.3

Guess people are getting bored of it. If they made on another channel that most people actually had, it would get more ratings for sure.

I honestly believe he is still alive.. hence that origami thing, he used them to find of where to go (dig), now this may be a sign which some people may catch up on (myself) and think heh hes alive and gone to work for the U.N or i also picked up on when they were on the beach he had a nosebleed which relates back to his brain disease which in other terms mean the operation failed and he was going to die. Hard conclusion though, i think the 2 hour special will have a surprise twist in it, as michael coul well have been put down as dead, but the writers thought it would be a nice twist to the story, as their son showed no emotions towards going to the gravestone or sarah did either.

Michael Jr. is probably about 3 years old at this point, at this age I doubt he's even aware of who his father was or what he did. Episodes 21/22 were the finale to the entire series, there will not be anymore episodes which show what happens to them after this point and such The Final Break will show what happened during the 4 year flash forward we see in the finale. Sara might have come to terms with Michaels death by now considering it was some time ago at this point, I wouldn't say she showed no emotion though. The origami cranes where something Michael used in a number of ways, he used them to let Abruzzi know he knew where to find Fibonacci and could therefore minipulate Abruzzi because of the information he had and of course used them as a way to get a message to Sara in season 2. This is more symbolism other than anything else in my opinion, as is the tattoo that Michael Jr. gets before they go to visit Michael. Remember that this all started with Linc because Linc was framed for the supposed murder of Terrence Steadman and after learning that this all came about as a result of Linc getting money to fund Michaels education he had to break Linc out of Fox River. Every since they broke out all he's wanted is for it to end, however this hasn't always happened because of helping out others as he is compelled to do so (remember when Sara visited the psychiatrist where Michael used to work?) and avenging Sara's death at the start of season 4, obviously this wasn't the case as he quickly learned from Gretchen. Therefore I doubt Michael would have much interest or need to fake his own death, especially since how he reacted to news he would become a father and the promises he made to Sara.

It would spoil what was what I consider, a perfect finale for the series if your predictions were correct.

You see, that's what I noticed. You would think that they would both be upset. I'm sure Sara said to the boy "Let's go see Daddy", so she's lieing to her son too? Hrm. Endless possibilities.
Oh why does it have to be a week away!

I don't see what point your making here, yes she says "Let's go see your daddy" but how is that lieing to him? They went to visit his grave, I don't see how you can draw a conclusion like this from that line, you might be reading too much into it.

He is dead. They wont all go to a fake grave. The kid didnt even know his father and is around 3 years old. Sarah has probably come to terms with it.

Prison Break is over.

The 2 hour special is to show what happened after the beach scene and how he dies.

Sorry, I'm the one looking into this too much? ^

"Let's go see daddy". They go to a grave. Daddy = Grave = Dead. k.

You of all people should know by now about my replies in this thread, it's a discussion I care about and I back my points up with long posts based on the long plot that Prison Break has. I didn't at one point mention that I doubted Michael was dead, I prefer it this way and I think the writers made the right choice. Furthermore my reply wasn't specifically to you, read my post in full next time. You however were speculating that he was still alive, so don't try and turn the gun towards me.

I don't know you, I don't notice who posts what. I have said he could be alive or dead. Both sides of the story, both of my opinions not just trying to influence other people. Sometimes, it's the most simple things that are the best

Judging by a signature of another user I contested previously in this thread, you do.

Anyway, just finished watching The Final Break.

A very poetic ending that I felt was just right, to think that he died from the same fate he set out to save Linc from at the very start was a clever choice by the writers. It tied up most of the loose ends quite well, although it still left me wondering how T-Bag ended up back in Fox River, that wasn't explained. It's comforting to know that Michael wasn't long for this world anyway when Sara got locked up but it's sad to know that he never got the chance to see his child.

Yeah, I liked the ending. It's a shame the whole thing seemed a little rushed though. T-bag didn't end up in fox river did he? The prison didn't look like it, to me it was the same one he was in already.

I suppose it may have worked out better in the end as he would have ended up dying anyway, but this way he got his "brother" out, met and had a child with Sara and got them $100k. They're not properly free though as people will be looking for them so that's a bit hmmish.

I'm pretty sure it was Fox River, when it zooms out is shows the same layout and rooftops we saw in Season 1, pretty sure of it anyway. I guess your right, Sara still isn't free and neither is Linc now seeing as he helped her escape, same goes for Mahone and Sucre if they get the evidence. Although I suppose if they were going south of the border the chance of them been found are pretty low considering Bellick didn't find Surce that easily in season 2. I agree with you it seemed abit rushed, I was looking forward to the entire elaborate and clever escape plan that we saw from Michael in season one, especially since the prison was "air tight". Would have been more thrilling without the flash forward from the series finalie though.
