Prison Break is only a few episodes away from the end of the season, and just like at the end of season one, is really delivering great episodes on the way to the finish line.
It seems too good to be true on this show, but it appears that C-Note is actually going to have a happy ending, free and clear on the outside and with his family. Indeed, it might be the last we'll ever see of him on the series, since it seems doubtful Mahone will end up in a courtroom as opposed to dead or on the run.
After a brief appearance in the teaser, Sara has also vanished. And of all the "how will they get out of this?" scenarios that have appeared on the show (all 9000 of them), I really have to wonder how she'll ever get out of being arrested and taken into custody.
Meanwhile, the brothers have finally reached Panama. As expected, Michael can take no pleasure in what he's accomplished. I really enjoyed the scene that put him at odds with Linc, and the fight that nearly broke out between them. It's a different dimension between them that had to surface eventually, and the two actors played it very well.
Sucre and Bellick made interesting "buddy cops" on the trail of T-Bag, who was at his most terrible this week. T-Bag remains the one character outside the brothers that's still easy to take an interest in, and tying Sucre into that plot (and Bellick back into that plot) has helped his character be more interesting as well.
The way things are shaping up, it feels like a lot of characters aren't going to be around should Prison Break go on to a third season. But this sense of impending doom around some of the characters doesn't feel as "stunt-like" as some of the deaths of characters on other shows have become (24 and Lost, I'm looking at you). I'm eager to see what happens.

Has a third season really been confirmed. If so, I find it unfortunate, as while the show has been quite interesting lately, I preferred the first season when everything was about the meticulous prison break plan than the second where it is always run-run-run with psychic Mahone behind you. I don't really see what a third season would bring, except stretching things to a point the show loses its nature and appeal.

No, the word about a third season is still pending. The creators have said in the past they had planned for two years at the outset, but the realities of television economics are that if a show does well (and Prison Break is still getting relatively good ratings), studios want a minimum of four seasons to allow a more easy sell into later syndication.
So, we'll see...
No sooner than I post, but things change. This morning, it was announced that Prison Break HAS been renewed for a third season. So exactly what they're going to do to make the plot interesting without being drawn out in a bad way -- we'll have to see.
Damn. I'm not sure I like the news about a third season. What the hell are they going to do? Keep running?
Or try to break SARAH out?... They should have left well enough alone.
