OMG, Katya! Michael is dead, and has a baby son, who's got to marry Sucre's adorable little girl, or else Mahone/Lang have to produce a son and daughter to marry Michael's son and Sucre's daughter!

Kellerman and C-Note and Sucre, wtf? Out of the blue, deus ex machina, good grief!

Linc is the most mobile dying man ever!

SUCRE! I was so surprised and happy to see him! He and Michael are adorable! Michael and Sara were adorable!

Christine and the General are dead dead dead!

This show is the most crazy show that isn't purported to be sci-fi that I've ever seen. It's just crazy and so much fun.

But Michael, don't be dead! Awwwwww.

At least his son is starting out early with the tattoos, heh. :D

Kellerman and C-Note were pretty much the most ridiculous deus ex machina in the history of this show, and that's really saying something. Although I was sort of amused by the back-handed messed-up stab at continuity, there. *rolls eyes ( ... )

And the timeline....

Well, on the plus side, they remembered he'd just turned 31! ;)

Actually, given that apparently, Season 4 took less than a month (Michael had turned 31 at or right before the beginning of that season, according to Linc), and Season 3 took a little more than 2 weeks, about 7 months sounds about right, to me.

In fact, now that I think about it, 7 months might actually be a bit too *long*. ;)

Of course, that means that the country changed presidents 3 times in at most about 5 months. *g*

(Also, hee! Seeing that crane makes me giggle, because it makes me wonder how long Linc had to labor to make it. ;) )

Wasn't it Linc who taught Michael how to make them? But seven months, and Sucre's child was both conceived and fully gestated!

Hm, possibly it was Linc. I remember it was mentioned in the flashback episode in Season 1, but I don't remember the details.

But seven months, and Sucre's child was both conceived and fully gestated!

Actually, that would be more like 6 months, since she was born in the first episode of Season 4. ;)

But well, we know Sucre's daughter is magic. *g* I suspect her of having superpowers, that she got because she was conceived in Fox River. (Where do you think T-Bag got his superpowers from, if not there? ;) )

T-Bag's superpowers came from his Magic Hand. And that sounds so dirty, because now I'm thinking of Dean Winchester and his love for Magic Fingers.

Hee, well, that's just because he spent so long in Fox River, he was ready to receive a superpower. It just took the form of the Magic Hand.

And I suspect that T-Bag would really appreciate the dirty connotations of his Magic Hand. Which, somehow, makes it all the worse. Ick.

(I still can't forgive T-Bag for what he tried to do to Sara. He went from someone I sort of enjoy disliking to someone who makes me feel dirty just from looking at him. I actually sort of wish Michael had killed him.)

Also, I don't know how unspoiled you want to be, but asta77 and sdwolfpup told me some things about the PB movie in sdwolfpup's entry, in case you are wondering. :)

And actually, I've just remembered that we actually did see Sara's head on a stick in a box, and that still didn't mean that she was dead, so I'm not sure even seeing Michael's head cut off would really convince me that Michael is dead. *g*

It was. According to what I remember of S1, Michael said that Linc used to leave folded origami cranes by Michael's bed so Michael would know that Linc had come home at some time during the night to check on him, even if he wasn't there in the morning.

(Which leads me to my main issue with Christina: you can't argue for loving your son when you abaondoned him to be raised by his 15 year old brother. Grrr.)

Awww, I'd forgotten that story about Lincoln. That's sweet! No wonder Michael is so affection-starved, though, if that is the most affection he ever received until Sara.

Which leads me to my main issue with Christina: you can't argue for loving your son when you abandoned him to be raised by his 15 year old brother.Has she been arguing that she loves Michael? I thought she tried that argument for about 5 seconds, and then abandoned it, in the face of the utter lack of sympathy from Michael. Which sort of makes it clear that she's never really believed it, in the first place. Really, I think she did feel something for Michael that she didn't know how to deal with, but I don't think she has any illusions about what kind of mother she is ( ... )

So true. It also makes me feel for Linc because I think despite his flaws -- his temper, his lack of forethought, his bull-in-a-chine-shop attitude, his tendency to get on the wrong side of the law -- I think he genuinely tried to look after Michael. I think he did the best he could.

She abadoned that attempted logic when it clearly wasn't working, but the argument itself bothered me. The fact that she made that slightly ridiculous claim *at all* made me grind my teeth ( ... )

I am very fond of Lincoln, and I agree with you that he probably did the best he could most of the time, but I've also found it really hard to feel any kind of sympathy for him in this latest "Linc agrees to work for the Company" story arc. I completely agree with Michael that the Company is not the sort of place one can make any kind of compromises with, because it will twist anything anyone does against them, and I think that working for the General made Lincoln no better than any of the other Company goons that we've seen in this show.

(Quite frankly, I've actually also been quite upset with Alex for not realizing that nothing good can come from working for the Company. Lincoln I can almost excuse because he's just not very bright, but Alex should definitely have known better, especially after everything he went through in Season 2. For my own peace of mind, I have decided that Alex was actually just pretending to work for the Company because he was trying to keep an eye on Lincoln for Michael - ( ... )

I know that's probably fanwanking on my part, though.)Well, that and if Alex left, Team Linc would be seriously lacking in the brains department ( ... )
