Fin Del Camino

This week's Prison Break episode wasn't as solid throughout as the last several have been, but it still delivered one huge moment essentially two years in the making: we finally got to see Michael and T-Bag's big showdown. And it was everything we'd been waiting for. Great banter between the two, Michael finally pushed too far... but not so far as to actually kill T-Bag. And it appears T-Bag has at last been caught. The show seriously won't be the same without his delicious villainy, but justice has been served.

On the Sara plot, I'm honestly not sure why Kellerman makes such a credible witness. Surely there's a way his testimony can be framed to sound like lunacy as much as everything else surrounding the conspiracy? Though I suppose we haven't actually seen Sara be acquitted yet -- we just saw Kellerman enter the courtroom.

What's going to happen to Sucre now? With medical attention, his wound may not be fatal, but how can he avoid being sent back to prison? And how will he save Maricruz before she dies wherever Bellick stashed her? Who ever expected we'd be hoping for one of our heroes to come to the aid of Bellick?

And finally, the stage is set for what seems must inevitably be the final showdown between Mahone and Michael in next week's season finale. Don't miss it!

I thought this week was very strong. I especially loved the failed suicine by Ketterman. The man's a good actor, and I get the feeling we've just never had a chance to really see it until now. And it puts an interesting spin on a "bad guy" who turns out to be intelligent and human enough to know he's been on the wrong side, even though he was just "doing his job."
Great stuff.
But I wish Linc had had the guts/brains to shoot Mahone in the leg or something. Just make sure the guys's out of action.
And it's time someone pulled the plug on T-Bag, too. I know, he's going back into the hole. But fuck justice, man: I would have nailed that bastard to the floor (just in a way that's a bit more lethal than what Michael did).

I can't wait to see what happens next week!
