Meta TitlePrison Break, how are they free? — Digital Spy
Meta DescriptionHaving watch "The Final Break" on Sky 3 last night, it struck me as odd that Micheal said they were finally free. MIcheal is dead, so I guess he is free.

Boilerpipe Text
one thing I did not like about the end of S3, was well the start of S4, Micheal spends all that time planning his berak out, and start of S4 everybody escapes a few weeks later. That's true. The other problem I had with S4 was that, in the end, the whole thing was quickly resolved with the (welcome IMO) return of 2 old characters - C Note and Kellerman, it didn't rest on Michael's ingenuity. I, too was much more impressed with Season 3, having only just watched it on Sky 3 after a very long break, it was nice to see those characters again doing what it says on the tin. The addition of a great Wire actor with a rubbish jamaican accent probably helped it for me too. Season 4 still had Michael doing all his McGyvering but it lacked that classic Prison Break trick of building up a set piece over a number of weeks - remember that bit of bellybutton fluff and the paperclip he got 4 episodes ago? Well here's what it was for....oh no, it's gone wrong, no it hasn't, Michael planned it that way all along.... that sort of stuff. The Final Break was pointless and unneccessary. If they'd woven it into the plot of S4 it would have been better and distracted from all that Lock Stock-style 'who's got Scylla?' nonsense. And it didn't resolve the question that was bugging me the most - how did they get Michael's body to Panama and how were they able to bury him so near a beach? Never heard of coastal erosion? Sheesh!

MIcheal is dead, so I guess he is free. Sarah, is a prisoner on the run, Lincoln and Sucre are guilty or helping her escape. Alex may well be able to spin his way out of it, but over all they are far from free, they are living life on the run, again. T-Bags ending was also confusing, when it jumped forward 4 years he was at Fox River up to his old pocket holding tricks, where as at the end of "The Final Break" he was locked up still in Miami. Also I was left wondering if the female prisoners were taken from the romour Prison Break spin-off which would have been set in a female prison. 0 ## Comments - [![xmodz10](https://wa.vanillicon.com/v2/a8f5fdf2b5984a214837c7b59dc5b93f.svg)](https://forums.digitalspy.com/profile/xmodz10 "xmodz10")[xmodz10](https://forums.digitalspy.com/profile/xmodz10) Posts: **1,434** Forum Member ✭✭✭ [22/08/10 - 19:00](https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/comment/43375108/#Comment_43375108) [\#2](https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/comment/43375108#Comment_43375108) T-bag Goes Back to Jail.

The problem they always had was that they'd never be truly 'free'. I think that's pretty much what it came down to in the end. All in all it was more about how Michael sacrificed his entire life for all of the final people (Sarah, Linc etc). Miss it for sure, still a damn shame that they had to end it in a sad way with Michael dying, but it was always going to happen. 0 - [![Charnham](https://us.v-cdn.net/6028689/uploads/userpics/333/nADFNA48TQE3T.png)](https://forums.digitalspy.com/profile/Charnham "Charnham")[Charnham](https://forums.digitalspy.com/profile/Charnham) Posts: **64,184** Forum Member ✭✭ [22/08/10 - 19:55](https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/comment/43377181/#Comment_43377181) [\#7](https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/comment/43377181#Comment_43377181) I thought Micheals death pretty much explained itself, basically the company didnt fix him, and he died. 0 - [![Trollheart](https://wf.vanillicon.com/v2/f33978147d481ebf4165e7951c4dfcb5.svg)](https://forums.digitalspy.com/profile/Trollheart "Trollheart")[Trollheart](https://forums.digitalspy.com/profile/Trollheart) Posts: **5,093** Forum Member ✭ [23/08/10 - 19:30](https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/comment/43410005/#Comment_43410005) [\#8](https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/comment/43410005#Comment_43410005) > [Charnham](https://forums.digitalspy.com/profile/Charnham) wrote: [»](https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/comment/43375739#Comment_43375739) > > there is not one that I know of.
