Prison Break has finally come to an end... after being stretched much further than I ever expected. Although I didn't follow so much of the 2nd or 3rd season, I really got back into it this last season. Anyone else watch the series finale? What did you think?


Keep it ill.

I agree about the show sticking around. I thought it was going to be one season like on British TV, but they kept it going. One's obviously my favorite season, but I thought four ended up being a lot of fun, plus I got to keep seeing the characters so I can't complain.

When you talk about the finale do you mean the season or whatever the Final Break is? I thought the Final Break was just like the last two episodes edited together?

Fun fact: take a shot every time someone says 'scylla' in season four and it will destroy you.

I was just talking about the last aired episode (22-Killing your number). I don't think they will be airing The Final Break which I'm confused on as well if that is a movie or just two extra episodes.

I would also agree on season four being 'fun' because yeah it got kind of stretched out and lingered on the whole scylla thing which turned into a fun event watching it with friends.

With the series finale I wanted to see if anyone else enjoyed it as much as I did. I thought it was one of the more satisfying show finales I've seen in a while.

Btw. Prison Break drinking games are fun... especially with Scylla! haha!


Keep it ill.

I'm picking up the Final Break on the way home from work today. Really looking forward to filling in this hole in the storyline.

Has anyone seen it yet? Anything to look out for? Easter Eggs? In jokes or anything? I'm watching it with a big group of people so I might miss stuff explaining a few things to people who aren't as familiar with the series.

I watched it last night and it is definitely something both Prison Break fans and non-fans will enjoy. Boba don't worry about explaining anything to your friends. The story is easy to follow even if you've never seen Prison Break.

There are some great references that only PB fans will get like after Sara gets beat up in prison she uses the same excuse Michael did when he was in prison which i thought was great.

I've honestly never been as satisfied with a series finale as I was after watching The Final Break. Probably the most intense episodes of PB I've seen since season 1.

Didn't find any Easter eggs and not much bonus material, but really not much more you can ask for after watching it.

Yeah, I'd like it if Michael's end was more epic, but I'm glad we got a little bit more of the story.

And you made a good point about it being really accessible to new fans. You could change all the names, and skew some of the dialogue, and it'd be a really good movie about escaping from prison all on its own.

Well I wouldn't go as far as changing names and dialogue! haha. It would be pretty sweet if they made each escape ie Fox River, Sona, Florida as separate feature length movies or mini-series. I just think it worked really well with The Final Break or at least I didn't have to wait between 20 episodes to find out what happens!

I think there could be another Prison break season . What you think? They were not stretching the story they were just flowing with it.
