I'll have LOTS more to say about it later on, but for now: ( Initial reaction under the cut - very spoilery )

WHY DID HE DIE? I totally somehow missed that? They were walking on the beach and then he was dead. WAH. Was it the brain thingie? When did that come up again?

But yeah, Alex and Lang. OMG. I had hoped and hoped, I kept sekritly fantasizing that they would end up together and they totally did!

Also, can you enlighten me, I was FFing through a lot of the early part because OMG too much talking, and I didn't catch how/why Kellerman was a good guy. I should probably go back and watch, but... I wouldn't mind an explanation!

I think it was the brain thing. When he was talking to Sara, his nose started to bleed again, which was the signal last time that things were going badly.

I didn't catch how/why Kellerman was a good guy

He said that he was working now with the people who were helping Linc & Michael's dad back in, uh, season 2. They honestly didn't get a lot into Kellerman's redemption story. *g*

I think we are supposed to believe that Kellerman was a good guy and not just trying to trick them into giving up Scylla because he testified for Sara at the end of Season 2. Personally, I am not sure I would see that as enough evidence that they should trust him, after two seasons of double-crossing everyone he'd ever worked with. But I guess that did make him the best out of all their available options.

But... But... How can they have a movie with Michael dead?! Did WM just not want to do any more Prison Break, or something? Wasn't Sara's shoulder pregnant with Michael on that DVD cover? I don't know if I want to watch a PB movie without Michael ( ... )

TV Guide posted an interview with the show's creator last night and Michael is in the film which takes place shortly after they gain their freedom and before the four year jump. And I think you find out how, specifically, Micheal died.

Oh. That might make more sense than what I was thinking, yes. (Not that making sense is necessarily a requirement for Prison Break. *g*) Maybe they'll be able to explain that ending a bit more than they did in the series, too.

Thanks for telling me! I was really wondering how they were going to try and pull off a PB movie without Michael. It would still be pretty hard to convince me that Michael is really dead, though. At this point, I'm not sure even seeing him die on screen would do it. I guess I'll look forward to seeing them try. :)

I'm resisting all spoilers -- by hook or by crook, I will watch this thing tomorrow -- but I have to ask: was there a hug? And, yeah, a scene of running/stumbling to escape with an arm wrapped around to support a wounded Alex (or Michael, but gut instinct says if any of my favourite threesome gets a bullet wound tonight, it'll be Alex) counts as a "hug" for my purposes.

There was no hug. :( I'm still holding out hope for the movie, though.

OH MY GOD!

We got Sucre and C-Note back! And Kellerman?! Sucre and Michael are so sweet. Mahone and Michael working together again, at last!

That was both ridiculous and entertaining, and wasn't Linc very mobile for a dying man? MICHAEL! I half figured him to be dead in the finale, but good golly.

Sucre's daughter is adorable, and Alex and LANG? I so did not expect that.

Ha, General Krantz loses all his menace with a sponge on his head, and T-Bag never got a chance to bag Michael, so sad for him. I was incredibly amused by the resurgent thread of his obsession with Michael - intending to rape Sara so Michael'd think about him every time he touched her. *rolls eyes*

Sucre's daughter is adorable! Mahone and Lang need to have a son and daughter to marry Michael's son and Sucre's daughter.

Michael and Sara are so sweet together, too. *sniff sniff sniffle*

I can't think of a weirder ending for such an action-packed show than basically, walks on the beach.

Overall, that was crazy and fun!

ETA: ORIGAMI CRANE FTW!

I couldn't help laughing at how much they kept moving Linc around. It was just hilarious.

Mahone and Lang need to have a son and daughter to marry Michael's son and Sucre's daughter

Oh my gosh YES. I TOTALLY SUPPORT THIS.
