A fond farewell to 'Prison Break'
The story of “Prison Break” lasted four years for viewers but only seven months for its characters -- an insanely short period of time when you consider the whacked toes and hand, the prison murder of a beloved cat, the beheadings, the near-drowning bathtub torture, the countless shootings, explosions and stabbings, the removal of a body tattoo in one sitting, the resurrection of dead people and, of course, the two prison breaks.
When the Fox series ends tonight, all mysteries are resolved in an action-packed two-hour finale. But in a rewarding twist, the show ends softly, with a sentimental montage that moves the survivors four years into the future. As someone who has reported stories about the series since it launched, I admit I had to grab the Kleenex.
Though I confess that “Prison Break” hasn't always held my attention.

Wow, that ending made me feel like the writers just gave a huge eff you to the fans who have stuck with the show to the end. I am PISSED. There was NO reason at all for Michael to die.

Prison Break was and is the most amazing show on television! I am so mad that Michael died in the end, but it ended phenomenally nonetheless. It should have continued!!!! AHHH! Prison Break was my life. I still love Michael Scofield and I always will.
RIP Michael

I've totally got the inside scoop. Here's the plot for "The Final Break"
The Company also runs hell.
They kidnap Michael on his way to heaven. So now, Michael not only has to break out of hell, he has to rescue all the people he killed and break them out too. Then, he has to break into heaven without getting caught by God. But look out, God has a ton of guns!
Yeah, why not? Wouldn't be any less believable than season 4!

Prison Break final episodes were phenomenal. Fox definitely closed it very strong and to the point. As for the community thread looming around about how fans were disappointed on the last two episodes, don't be!!! If it wasn't for Michael: he would have not saved Lincoln, he would have not reunited Sucre and C Note with their families, he would have not fell in love with Sara and expect to have a child together and he would have not made Kellerman get the good in him.
A fond farewell to a fictional character Michael Scofield.
It ran 4 years long, a dedicated fan and most of all it was outstanding show.

Prison Break was the, is the best and always will be the best!
Every episode was amazing, none disappointed but instead set a new benchmark for the next episode.
Sad but a fitting to the best show ever Prison Break.
R.I.P. Michael Scofield
