Quotes:

Michael Scofield:You know we spend so much of our lives not saying the things we want to say... The things we should say. We speak in code, we send little messages; origami. So now, plainly, simply, I want to say that I love you both. Very much. And I want you to promise me, that you're gonna tell my child... that you're gonna tell my child how much they're loved everyday. And remind them how lucky they are... to be free, because we are. We're free now, finally. We're free.

Edited into "Prison Break: The Old Ball and Chain (#4.23)" (2009)

Very disappointing

Well, over this summer I watched all four seasons of Prison Break (I don't know why I hadn't done that when it was fresh on the air). It took me about four to five episodes into each season, that I got really hooked up. I loved the characters and every so often I had to smile because of all the "cut the corners of a story" they had done in the script-department. This Monday I watched the finale of season four, and though I have to admit, I really hate it when they kill off a main character, it certainly was a fitting end to a great show. On Tuesday I watched "The Final Break". I was very willing to oversee the cheesy "corner cutting" and I was very excited to see Gretchen back. And, I was hoping till the end, that Michael's funeral was staged, and that he acted undercover or so. Well, he did not, and he really died. But this was all so meaningless to me. Why did he have to die anyway (OK, it wasn't OK with me at the fourth season finale). This whole movie was...just wrong. Lincoln did not really get a good part of it. Alex's struggle was believable, and I liked the tension in the women's prison. But, that is it. Why did they make the movie. It did not add to the fast story-telling of the whole show. Why put Sarah into Prison. There are so many things that did not add up. I wish they hadn't kill Michael, and I wish they did not make this movie. How about making another one. Maybe this time Michael and his buddies ARE undercover, doing something...anything but what they did in THE FINAL BREAK.
