So how do you think it will all end?

I like the idea of some undervover guy trying to break out of prisons, but I think that's not PB. Also, Michael went to great lengths and made great sacrfices to escape, along with vigourous before hand planning. I don't think that that occurs so often that it's statistically so significant, that the government or whoever would have need for undercover Michael. Michael the person is so special, I don't think there are many people who could pull this off.

I was going to say the same thing but I didn't want to jump the gun if I didn't know what we were talking about here.

yes, he is special and things like that don't happen every day - but let's pretend there is a prison (in some forest, desert, underwater - whatever) no one knows about. It's meant for war criminals, serial killers, political betrayers etc) and ''some people'' want it to be as safe as possible, as fortified as it could be (cause the inmates might have some influential allies who would do anything to break them out) and as we know Micky is a smart one, who could foresee the flows, the possible actions, the possible re-actions, - and help the mankind keep the monsters inside of a ''invisible'' prison!!! But, hey, I'm becoming a writer here... so - but if PB turned out to be smth like this - it could work... (I'm saying only could) - at least for me.

That's a pretty neat idea. If they promise him that Linc and LJ will have a good life and give him the choice for going to prison for his bank robbery or going undercover that would make sense. The only thing I'm not completely comfortable with is that it woudln't feel like PB anymore - even though the title would make sense again - because in this scenario there is really no place for Linc.

I really like your idea....it's fascinating. I don't have a problem with it shifting like that because it would have to in order for the story to continue. I mean, they can't keep going in circles--there has to be change and direction.

I'm a silly romantic that wishes a happy ending. But to be honest for the show to carry as good as it is it has to be a very dramatic ending, something that we do not expect.

Sorry if my spelling is not great

it is possible to make good continuations of good stories and here with PB, the actors, the plot, the message, the complexity of characters... it would really be possible to make a spectacular and exciting continuation. I mean, I could think of 1000 possible continuations for our heroes - but there are so many talented scrip writers who could do it 1000 times better than I ever will be able to, so, I am wondering why sometimes things go wrong, even having everything you need to make, if not a masterpiece, then at least something worth watching and captivating.

I think Prison Break ends here or they just have to continue to find prisons and reasons for Michael to go into and break out. Better a good a ending than none. If they want to continue the show with these characters, well there could be spin offs with a different title, like a new show.
Otherwise it is possible to continue Prison Break as it is with different characters. The name of the show is not attached to characters, like "Dr. House" or something like that. To break out in an under water prison sounds interesting! Or maybe in the future, in space.....?

Personally, I think the story currently being told can’t continue forever without the risk of becoming old and redundant. What I have taken from the show is that there is a specific story being told….an established finish line. I like to look at it as a whole….like a novel….with each episode being a chapter in the book. Therefore, I see it as a journey that starts a one place, has its challenges and obstacles, and then eventually reaches an ending.
However, with that being said, I do think there are possibilities to be explored which could potentially prolong the series in at least a satisfactory manner. But I think this story, the current one, would have to end or evolve into something completely new in order to extend its lifespan. This idea does fascinate me and I would be interested to see what the writers came up with because they have proven to be really creative. Despite this, though, I think it would not be the PB people initially signed up for and some fans may be lost as a result….although some fans may be gained in the process as well.
Furthermore, in order for all this to happen, additional risks would have to be taken. There would need to be more casualties, conflicts, new enemies and alliances formed, and, yes, more deaths. I also think this reunion between Michael and Sara would have to either be completely filled with tension and conflict or eventually end all together—either by choice or death. It’s rare that you see a couple stay together, living all happy and giddy, in the world of film and television. Couples break up, get back together, find new loves, choose to be happily single, choose to be miserable and single, and so forth…simply because it is too boring and the story remains stagnant otherwise. If Michael and Sara are together and are going to get their happy resolution and coming-together this season, then this should be the last one. There would also have to be problems with the other relationships as well, like the brothers….or with Sucre.
