Actually your spoiler is wrong:

Gretchen was shown to still be alive at the end but in captivity of the Company's hit man

I really enjoyed it. It is fun to see how over the top they can go.

Admittedly I didn't like last season either but so far I'm pretty unimpressed. My girlfriend likes it but it seems to me they just carried the same story line to a new setting yet again. First prison in the US, then prison in South America, now back to the US out of prison but same plot. the bringing back characters stuff always makes me think they're doing focus groups and saying well they really liked so and so let's bring that person back.

last night just seemed so silly to me the technical stuff didn't seem real and the computer room scene had me dumbfounded. First Michael saying why does an old building have such technology, FM200 isn't exactly new it's been around for more than 10 years maybe more than 15 and you can retrofit any computer room you just have to change out the ceiling tiles and make the room sealed so it doesn't leak out. There's also a failsafe with it that essentially has a big red button you hit if you're stuck in the room and the FM200 is triggered by mistake and you need to stop it. At least in California you have to have one of those by law with those systems so people don't get trapped in the room since FM200 puts out fires by sucking out all the oxygen.

So that whole scene to me bothered me. But I have to admit it was better than the Raiders and Broncos was.

Anyone still watching. This is the best season so far. To me, this is my soap opera. I love it and they keep pulling me in deeper.

I like this show a lot i am really surprised they were able to keep a show with this concept going this long. I just think they should change the name of the show but i guess its to late for that now.

I guess I should just stop watching so I stop complaining my girlfriend still loves it but too me every episode is identical. They get in trouble, you think they're screwed, Michael schemes out of it, they're in the clear, and then something goes wrong, lather rinse repeat next episode.

It's almost like professional wrestling with the good guys and heels stuff where the heel turns good but then suddenly turns out to still be a heel later. Gretchen is on their side, no she's not, yes she is, no she's not. Self is a good guy no he's not.

that said i have to admit the last episode was interesting because they essentially set up the next few months of the show because they're now trying to steal Scylla from Self instead of the General, and they're now working for the general apparently.

Than I bet after they steal scylla from self and give it to the general after they get Michael back from the general they will try and steal scylla back from the general so theres another couple moths also.

I think 14 of 22 episodes have aired so far for this season.

Wow, there are people other then me who like this show? :D

New episode was pretty good tonight, I like where they are going with it. 4 Seasons seems to me like the perfect run for this show. I'm looking forward to the final resolution.

On that note, Fox really should use some of the people from Prison Break in other shows because some of them are pretty good actors. Namely the guys that play Lincoln, Michael and Mahone.

Agreed, it was sad, but it was good. The show had a good run and in my opinion, they wrapped it up at the right time. Ended while still good, I think another season would have been a bit much. I enjoyed all 4 seasons.

Just found out there is a 2 hour DVD coming out in June that fills in the gaps of the 4 years.

I was worried about how they were going to be able to wrap up the show.

But that was a great way to end the series. The two hour DVD would be great to see.

It was awesome to see T-Bag become T-Bag again (in both the scenes with Sara and when he went back).

I've heard that the 2 hour DVD is basically an insult to the series.

Apparently Sara is put in prison for the murder of Michael's mother. So the "gang" is forced to break her out. And some are speculating that Michael's death was faked, because he took a high level "secret" position with Kellerman. I don't like this at all. Just let the show die. It ended perfectly.
