Prison Break Finale (Season 2)

Finally, I have reached the last episode of Prison Break season 2! However, I'm sad to hear that season 3 is coming up. Arrgghh .... have to WAIT again. If you were in my shoes, you would understand what I'm talking about. Every episode was very excited from the very first in season 1 until this finale in season 2, you just can't resist the temptation of keep watching. I remember PF told me that someone watched 8 EPISODES (season 1) in a day, I couldn't believe that. After I watched it, I knew why - The first climax of this series cools down in episode 8:) Prison Break is not like the typical US movie series, it's more like Hong Kong movie series, the story line continues on from one to another.

For those who don't know about Prison Break, season 1 talked about this smart Structural Engineer, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) installs himself in a prison in order to help his brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) breaking out from the prison. Lincoln is sent to death row due to a political conspiracy. The process of breaking out from prison is very impressive, including extraordinary smart, perfect and detailed planning from Michael Scofield. (I think the editor must be very smart too.) In the last episode of season 1, both brothers successfully escape from the prison, together with 6 other criminals. The story continues on in season 2, where they are on the run because they are the top wanted criminals of the country. A new FBI agent, Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) comes into play in season 2. He is equally intelligent as Michael Scofield, you will be overwhelmed by his ability to track down all the run aways. Even though the conspiracy is revealed in the finale of season 2, but new plot is coming up, which will be continued in season 3. Michael ends up in another "prison" called SONA, so you know what to be expected in season 3.

I believe everyone who follows PB will like Michael Scofield, due to his extraordinary intellectual and creative power. On top of that, this guy is pretty good looking too! Dr. Sarah Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) is Michael's lover, and I feel that her existence in the series sometimes is overshadowed by Michael. I like Lincoln Burrows too, for his characters - decisive, daring, fast to react and willing to sacrifice for his love ones. Agent Mahone is my favorite too due to his intelligence. He is sharp in reading people, and he always gets it right! However, he is pathetic because he is threatened to work for the Company to get rid of both brothers, in order to protect his wife and son. I hate Paul Kellerman (Paul Adeistein) in season 1, he is a well trained FBI agent who works for the president, he wants the lives of both brothers too, but being betrayed by the Company, he stands out as a witness and reveals the conspiracy. But, I don't like the fact that he is killed in the end.

Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell (Robert Knepper) is labelled as the creepiest character in PB. He is smart, cunning and sneaky in this movie. John Abruzzi (Peter Stormare) shouldn't have died so early. I wish the editor could let John Abruzzi stay alive and settle T-Bag:) Both of them are equally cruel, T-Bag slashes Abruzzi's throat but fails to make him die. And later Abruzzi chopped off T-bag's hand with an axe. So bloody! However, I respect T-Bag, because this guys is so tough, considering he gets his hand sewn on by a vet without anesthesia! Another annoying character, Captain Brad Bellick (Wade Williams) plays as a greedy, rude, dishonest and money-minded Fox River Officer. This guy appears from time to time to disrupt the flow of the story. I really wish to kick him out of the series:)

Besides the romantic love story of Michael and Sarah, I'm so touched to see Fernando Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) ride his cousin's classic motorcycle, a 1952 Ural all the way to Las Vegas trying to stop his pregnant girl friend, Maricuz marrying another guy, Hector. But he fails to meet her. Fortunately, his girl friend still loves him very much, she left Hector at the chapel. A few episodes later, she finally meets up with Sucre and runs away together with him. They thought that they can live happily ever after in Mexico, guess what? Bellick has her in a hiding place with only enough food to last for 3 weeks. (that's why I hate this guy so much!) Sucre is threatened to lead Bellick to the 5 millions for an exchange. In the end, his girl friend Maricuz still remains missing. *SIEN*

I'm definitely looking forward to season 3, this is the best movie series that I have ever watched so far! Enjoy the PB Video Clip below!
