I have been a fan of Prison Break since day one - when it was a tie-in with 24. Many people have dropped the show since but I enjoy the formulaic heart-pounding suspense even though the show has its shortcomings.
Last nights "season finale" left me feeling unsatisfied. Granted this was meant to be a mid-season finale but due to the historical writer's strike it became the season 3 finale. So that means, no loose ends were really tied up. We really received no answers to the season or shows questions. If anything they took the show as we know it and threw it upside down. But THAT is not a bad thing. The whole Sona situation to me wasn't entertaining. Sona was dirty, enough said. But unfortunately we are not done with Sona because they left T-Bag, Sucre, and Bellick there, and if Michael goes back to break Sucre out I will be extremely unhappy. I need an overlying story line other than break Whistler (or anybody) out of prison. The show has been teasing "The Company" for now 3 seasons with nothing else to chew on, and that is about it other than the introduction of a new character named Jason Leif.
Since the characters are now spread out like Season 2, I am sure that they will have numerous story line options to play with. Mahone now working again for the Company is interesting but calling Gretchen a "weak link" brings up questions that I can't even think of the answers to. Didn't she behead Sara in front of LJ (even though he closed his eyes)?
If she is a weak link, I would hate to think of who Whistler really is.

I love Prison Break. I think it's one of the best drama/action series on tv right now. The writing is excellent, and the suspense is almost unbearable. I also was a little disappointed with the season finale. Like Lost, just when I think I have everything, or at least some things, figured out, they throw a monkey wrench in the mix and confuse the hell out of me! I still don't know who the hell Gretchen is, other then that she works for the Company. I think there's an interesting backstory there. Doesn't she have a scar on her face? Would like to know how it got there. Do you know when Break is returning?
