Prison Break Finale - Perfect

Wow. I wasn't sure that I would enjoy the series finale to Prison Break and I still don't think the final ten minutes beats out Six Feet Under, but the chills that ran down my spine the second that Sara bought the flowers was almost the same one I had throughout the Six Feet Under final sequence. This show made a living off of doing the unbelievable. This show made you sacrifice common sense and logic in order to follow it. Look at the finale as a terrific example. Kellerman is alive. What other show does that? When a character is "dead" that character is dead on any other show. Sara and Kellerman both effectivly came back to life in this show - but thats what Prison Break was about. That's what the show was about.

But for the final five minutes it was something more. For everything that we have been through over the four years of this show - in the end its a show about people. People who havent always done the right things and haven't done the right choices. The final five minutes showed how one man brought them all together. How one man saved everyone. Am I upset that Michael is dead after watching the show for four seasons and the "happy ending" for everyone wasn't acheived. I was at first, but I am so satisfied with the way that the show ended and where everyone is today. Michael Scofield was the change he wanted to see in the world. All the bad things that everyone did - he changed everyone. He mad everyone at the grave that day a better person and he lives on with our characters in that way. Amazing Show. Amazing Ending. Loved every second of the finale.

The finale of a show to me is everything. The finale and how everything ties together can make or break a shows position on my "all-time" favorites list. As it stands now...here are my rankings for shows I have watched every episode of...

1. Six Feet Under

2. Prison Break

3. Alias

4. Friends
