So Prison Break...
This is going to be rather short because I suck at writing this kind of thing. But more than three years of fangirling... I wanted, at least, to come up with something.
I enjoyed the episodes themselves. Sara and T-Bag, Lincoln and Not!Mommy, Michael and Lincoln, even Michael and Mahone. Kellerman is back, Sucre is back, and naah, I won't extend this to C-Note. Christina and I even agree on something (Christina about her one and only son: "Son of a..." Why, yes, Christina). I liked the Michael/Sara scene on the beach - maybe it was the first time this season that Michael/Sara worked for me.
All in all, I liked them a lot more than most episodes this season, which, I'll admit, was not hard to achieve.
Randomness:
-"Because Mom's a psychotic bitch" - "At least the day wasn't a total waste" - "You're going to be a dad." I ♥ Lincoln.
- Is it me or does Lincoln actually bump Michael Jr.'s skull against the branches of the tree at the cemetary? o_O
- Aww, Lincoln has a scuba shop...
- Michael Jr. is cute. Sara and Michael Jr. together are adorable. And I don't even like baby/kid storylines.
- Michael was dead when Michael Jr. was born, right? Because otherwise, naming the kid after him totally creeps me out.
- Lincoln and Sofia? Really? *sigh* I swear he's going to break her: bring Jane back for God's sake! and if really you want to pair up Sofia with someone, there still is LJ (well, actually he wasn't there but you know what I mean).
- Mahone and Lang? Really? *yay*
The ending... I'm totally, uncomfortably on the fence. Since the beginning of the show, I'd hoped they wouldn't kill Lincoln, Michael and Sara (all right, and Sucre) in the end. I didn't really care if it would be a happy end or not, just no killing off. No such luck. On the other hand, it was well done, made sense and was a peaceful ending. Like it or not, Lincoln, Sara and the others seemed, if not happy, at least at peace. And the damn crane on the tombstone just got me. I hate they killed him, but I can't bring myself to actually hate the ending, if this makes any sense.
I'd said that if I really dislike something, I would ignore it, which was dumb. I can discard little facts, but not something like that. I wasn't able to do it with the HIAB thing: as far as I remember, I eluded the issue and didn't read or write fics alluding to Sara's death or, on the contrary, blatantly rewriting canon. And it's the same now: I don't really want to read or write about a dead Michael, but I don't feel like ignoring canon either.
(Ill-timed pimpage: AU fics and fanarts can be found at everbeentobaja)
Maybe - certainly - the fact that I was spoiled and the ending wasn't a surprise helps. Maybe it will be a whole different story if we actually see him die in the upcoming movie and I will curse the writers (they're still not my favorite people in the world right now, anyway). Qui vivra verra.
And um, for now at least, if I change my mind and really want to delve into AU, I still have the resort to pretend that Michael faked his own death. Why would Michael fake his own death? No idea. I'm a fangirl trying to cope, not TPTB.
Now I'm off to translate an old, old, old fic :p I can't write AU, but I still can translate old stuff. It looks like it's my mourning process: I did it after HIAB, and translated The Time They Need, so... *undigs old, fluffy story*
