The action on display was also top notch. I firmly believe he’s still got shady dealings going on. Yeah, I know! Her scenes finally had some much needed tension, what with her not knowing whether her husband is telling the truth or not. Lo and behold, I actually liked Sara this week. It’s even more chaotic then the governments pursuit of the team in season two and I applaud the writers for coming up with a new twist to what could have been a formulaic retread.

Here, Michael and the others are boxed in plus the added threat of having pursuers on their trail every second and all of them will shoot to kill. They’re out in open and away from the prison, but it’s more confined than the country spanning trek of season two. While it’s easy to compare this episode to the better parts of season two when the gang was on the run, I think this took on a whole new feel. Did Kellerman know he didn’t have the authority? I’d guess not, but if he did that adds a delightfully messed up side to the whole thing. Although that does give Kellerman’s scene with T-Bag last week a whole new layer to it. He’s so good and the emotions are so real I can overlook all the hand waving of Kellerman not really having the authority to exonerate them or Michael faking his death to rescue Sara. The guy is a powerhouse actor and this episode is a perfect demonstration of that. I couldn’t help but read into Miller’s powerful performance in that scene and not be reminded of his own struggles with depression.Īs I discussed earlier in this season in people not giving enough credit to Dominic Purcell after his somewhat goofy turn on Legends of Tomorrow, I feel the same way about Wentworth Miller. It’s about wanting to take care of it yourself and not wanting to ask for help and shouldering all the guilt because you’re the one who’s looked up to. It parallels the struggles people go through with depression, something Wentworth Miller has openly admitted. He couldn’t have done it all his own, but it’s easy to miss that when you’re working for a “greater purpose,” in this case protecting his family. It’s like Michael wasn’t paying attention to what kept him alive for the original series. For as much as Michael can see the big picture, he sometimes misses the finer details. As far back as season one he wanted as few people as possible involved in the plan. Of course Michael would have tried to solve it all by himself. When it was revealed after the first commercial break I thought it was okay, but what really sold me on it? Michael’s tearful admittance that he should have gone to Lincoln for help. The explanation did need to be grounded in some level of believability. I mean look, if it had been a clone or something? I would have laughed and totally rolled with it, but I’m also writing for a geeky news website. Thankfully we didn’t have to wait until the final episode to find out how, but is it satisfactory? Yeah, I’d say so.

So when this series came around the first thought on every single fan’s mind was, “How the hell is Michael alive?” Let’s be real, he was dead at the end of the final “movie” of the series. Michael being alive is the biggest “gimme” of the new Prison Break series. This Prison Break review contains spoilers.
