Not only the look but the fact that he said "No relation".
I thought the woman at the end was a bit much. They have been foreshadowing that so much this season, that it was fairly obvious who was going to be pulling the strings at the end. I really dont see this show going for another season, unfortunately.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I couldn't stand the sight of her or JLOK's acting last season, but Gretchen has become my favorite thing on this show. When did she get so sexy? I do like that they humanized her a (tiny) bit.

They really killed the momentum of this show with this break. I've never missed an episode since Season 1 so if I'm considering not screwing with the final episodes, I'd imagine they will lose a ton of casual viewers (and thus eliminate any doubt about a cancellation.) I don't know...I would have been fairly satisfied at the end had they stopped with them getting their pardons and then maybe one episode to tie up loose ends...maybe advance it a year and show where they ended up. (I'd guess the only one without a happy ending would be T-Bag...where the last shot of the series could be him welcomed back to prison by a big guy named Bubba.) Hell, if they needed to get it into the holiday season end it with the gang recapturing it from Self, Michael dying during the recapture from his brain issues, and Linc turning it over to the government. This whole working for the company thing just feels like it's been tacked on for no good reason...kind of like the new Bond movie where he meets up with M (but at least there was a minor point to it.) I mean does anyone care about resurrected their mother, the General's daughter turning on him, etc?

Spoiler:
The creator said that season 5 will focus on ANOTHER part of the Company

FOX really has no choice. Right now there is zero timeslots available mainly due to American Idol occupying 4 hours a week for January and later 1 1/2 hours when it gets to the Top 12.

There is no way this is returning to Monday's though since House and 24 will have it occupied until the end of the season. It will most likely come back either on a Thursday or Friday.

I'm all for Prison Break coming back to finish this up, but I hadn't realized how few episodes of Terminator there are left. Too bad, as I have really been enjoying it this season.

Back to Prison Break - As much as I love the show, it has been really difficult to stick with it these past two seasons. When I heard news of the cancellation, I was actually relieved, because it meant that they would finally be able to put these characters to rest before it becomes any more embarassing.

Really? I would agree with S3 as it was already getting tired during S2, but S4 has been refreshingly fun in comparison. But I have to agree that I'm glad they're ending it before in inevitably backslides into quality of S2-S3. Go out on a high note!

This season was to have 24 episodes to allow them to wrap things up (so 2 extra). This will definitely shift it to ending after Memorial Day.

And on another note... has anyone heard about Prison Break: Cherry Hill?

A spin-off of the widely successful FOX show Prison Break, Cherry Hill tells Molly's tale from inside a women's detention center. Molly is an upper-middle class woman who exacts revenge on the Company after suffering a tragedy that befalls her family. But when she discovers some of her family members may still be alive, she transforms from a stoic prisoner to a woman with a fierce determination for freedom. Expect the same brand of Prison Break suspense and intensity.
Sounds terrible.

Interesting, so they actually went ahead and produced the extra 2 episodes. I read that the series finale will be 2 episodes back to back. So I assume episodes 23 and 24 will air the same night. (May 29th???) judging by that schedule.

Cherry Hill would be better if Sara got arrested at the end of Prison Break and was locked up, but instead of doing a Prison Break type angle they just did an Oz type show with women.

I'm pretty sure I read an article a few weeks ago that said that wasn't happening (which really isn't surprising).
