It's so simple. In the last seconds of season 4, a space ship arrives and kidnaps the gang. The last shot is of them trapped behind bars in an alien zoo along with beings from many other planets.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
I'm going to miss it. Above average acting married to increasingly outrageous A-Team plots. I'm going to stop watching network TV if they only give me four seasons of a show billed as two seasons max.
It is nice that they apparently have time to draft an ending, though four episodes seems limiting. I hope they get to do the wrap-up movie they've talked about.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
The show returns tomorrow night so don't forget to set your DVRs. They're rerunning the last episode at 8 PM (which is good because I barely remember any of the storylines) and then the new episode starts at 9 PM.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
Interesting. No replies. Anybody watch this week's show or doesanyone not really care anymore?
First episode was a repeat. The new episode was as ludicrous as
most every other episode this season. Just happy it's almost over.
By the way, I have some VERY INSIDE information about an upcoming
episode of Prison Break. Probably planned as a huge surprise and I
don't think anyone in the general population knows of this. Read only
if you want to be royally spoiled....

A major character from season two is returning to Prison Break
in what will probably be a cameo role.
If you read that spoiler and want a more definitive answer....

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
I viewed both episodes. Still kind of fun and looking forward to how they conclude the season and show. The timing of some of the events is preposterous, but then it is Prison Break.I enjoyed the MLK-411 photo clue. Linc (paraphrasing) "Now I know where Michael gets this."
(Avoided the spoilers.)

Fidelity to the source should always be the goal for Blu-ray releases.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
I watched, I care and I'm sorry it's almost over. But, this latest episode, I was too busy thinking, "I don't remember anything and don't really know what's going on" to enjoy it all that much. But, that doesn't mean it was bad.I'm not reading your spoiler. With only about a half-dozen episodes to go, I'll let play out whatever is going to play out.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
It wasn't the most riveting episode but since it was the type of episode where they're trying to get a new story rolling, I'm willing to let it slide.I avoided the spoiler too since it's so close to the end.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
I just want this last season to be over with. This episode felt off to me, but I'll stick with it for the remainder of the episodes. Not sure if I like the inclusion of the mom for the conclusion of the Prison Break ride, mainly because the emotional stress felt by Linc and Michael feel forced with Linc or will feel forced with Michael."Jee-sus, it's like Iwo Jima out there" - Roger Sterling on "Mad Men"

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
Yeah...don't blame anyone for not being in a rush to comment.The only interesting thing about this week's Prison Break, if
you caught it, was the CISCO commercial that featured "The General"
breaking out in song.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
The only thing that struck me on this week's episode, was how similar the show is getting to the old serials that were spoofed on Mystery Science Theater 3000, where they'll film a scene that looks like certain death, and then redo it entirely different at the beginning of the next episode. Maybe we can get some riffing on the episode during it next time.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
Wow, I realized I'd missed the previous episode... and I didn't even mind. What a sad state of affairs for a once great series.
Get to the ending already.
Thing is, I think you could keep all the characters and make a really good comedy series out of it...

Wait, Prison Break isn't a comedy?

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
I thought this week's was pretty good, except for the revelation that Linc and Michael aren't bio-brothers. I hope that turns out to be a lie. Even if it doesn't, I guess it won't change their relationship.

Where's Sucre? I don't remember where we saw him last, but the guy's still in the opening credits.

Sucre left a few episodes ago, before everyone went to Miami. He had a heart to heart with Linc, and then left to go see his family (I think).- Walter.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
I'm not too surprised by the (apparent) revelation that they aren't actually brothers biologically. I've seen every episode of this show, and I'm still not entirely sure how they were supposed to be related. They had the same father, correct?? (since they were both with him when he was killed a few seasons ago). But I thought they had said at one point that they had the same Mom too. Which would have never made sense why they had different names - Scofield/Burrows .... I had always assumed they were half-brothers, but who really knows???

No, they were supposed to be 100% related. Their father's last name was Burrows, but Michael was under the impression that he had abandoned the family, so he cast off that name and took his mother's maiden name.

That was a good one. The finale next week should be pretty exciting. I hope T-Bag dies spectacularly.

So, here we go. Finale next week. Glad to see this show finallytaking its long awaited bow.
I hope the inside information I received (post #187) is correct.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
So, I'm pretty sure it was because they were editing out the credits after the first episode, but there was a really awkward jump from Michael saving Sara to the camera panning over the ocean that bothered me.

Re: Prison Break 4 - Guess who's back ....
Glad this is over, that's for sure.Seems your info was correct... the congressman thing was a little ridiculous considering what he'd done in the past (how did the press not find out what the widow said? And I can't remember who that was, but I assume it was his partner's widow?)
And what's with T-bag not dying? They set him up for a spectacular death, as many mentioned here.... and then he just ends up back in prison. And that 'stick of gum line'? How did that actually end up in a finished script?
I'm not sure why they felt the need to have Michael die, either. I mean, they could've just as easily had him be cured for good, and it's the same effect.
It was nice to bring back Sucre and the other guy whose name I can't remember now though.
I think I'm going to try and remember this as just being a one-season show. I enjoyed S2 and S3, but nothing comes close to the first one. If anything, this should've been two or three seasons all along (which as I remember was the original plan.) The first season breaking out, second season on the run, third season taking down the company... or two seasons where the company would've never even come into play as heavily as they did in S3 and S4.

That would be C-Note.
