They offered to come to her house.

You know how women are-maybe she couldn't shed all the prego weight and her face looks fat.

Go back a couple of pages. I posted a link to an interview with Matt Olmstead(Writer/producer). He confirms that she is dead.

Thanks-I'm glad that's the end of her with no resurrection nonsense.

Eh, I liked how they killed her off. It works for me. I agree with whoever said it earlier, it'll add more tension down the road. The whole wasted Michael being in Sona is even better, because now he's in Sona for a lost cause, and he's escaping for the same lost cause. Brilliant.

Michael is in Sona because he took the blame for Bill Kim's death. Had Michael not taken the blame, he and Lincoln would not be in Panama in anymore. LJ would have never came to Panama to meet up with Lincoln.

Then SWC goes ahead and denies to shoot a couple of episodes, and we are left with a horrible death. Like I said, I am not against Sara's demise. I am totally against the way it was handled though.

The writers even said that her death is not how they wanted it to go. They wanted to have SWC play the part of Sara for around 13 episodes, and to have a formal goodbye. Istead, because SWC denied their request to come back, their only choice was to just kill her off now.

Sara's death was inevitable. I just wish it would have happened different.

I interpret the situation as he took the blame for Kim's death (and even his misguided love for Sara) out of guilt for everything he put Sara through while in Fox River. The psyche report they did (or talked about) on Michael makes this a plausible scenario.

I don't believe Kellerman came clean strictly for Sara either. She was just the last domino to fall that pushed him over the edge. He needed that to cleanse his soul after the years of wrongs he had committed.

I really didn't see Sara as a huge part of the overall storyline (as has been stated previously. She was a decent character, but certainly expendable in my mind. Hell, I thought she was dead towards the end of season one and was more bothered by that then I was even close to after this last episode.

I thought her head in a box was fairly risque for prime time T.V. and definitely took me by surprise (probably because it was too obvious). I love how it sets up the future confrontation between Michael and Lincoln after the escape.

That will be epic.

Definitely a DVR/TiVo moment.

Oh, and just in case anyone wanted to see the actual head.

Be warned, it's kinda gross.

Re: Prison Break Season 3 (Spoiler warning during airing and for west coast)

I seriously think you guys are undervaluing the impact of Michael and Sarah's relationship.

It may have not mattered much to you but it mattered to a lot of viewers of Prison Break.

I'm not saying Prison Break jumped the shark. I only implied that it could have but the writers were able to recover from the loss of Sarah by showcasing the true importance of the show.

It doesn't require a main plotline to ruin a television show for viewers. Again, Sarah was integral to the storyline (just consider how important she was to Michael. It's all he cares about in his life. And it's without a doubt the major reason why he stayed in Panama long enough to be in Sona). She's now dead and the only reason logical for the show's direction is to give the bad guy strength in the viewer's eyes.

That's not reason enough to kill off such an important person to Michael.

Yes, the show will continue down it's true path. Michael will break out of prison, he'll crack the company, reveal it to the world, and walk away a free man.

But now at the end he's a lonely free man. How in the world is that actually rewarding to the character when he clearly revealed in Season 2 that freedom was not his main objective. Being with Sarah was.

Dude....he basically met Sara about 2 months ago in T.V. time and now she is the single most important thing to him? Lincoln was the whole reason he got himself arrested. He was and is the single most important thing to him. That's why this sets up such a huge confrontation.

My wife has been into this show with me since the first episode and even she could really care less about Sara's death (from a woman's point of view). She viewed her as a weak person and thought Michael's "love" for her was strictly guilt driven.

I agree 100%. Sara was everything to Michael. I hate to say it but I believe Michael valued Sara's life more than LJ's. I'm not saying he doesn't love LJ, but just look at the episode where Lincoln basically forced Michael to help free LJ from the Court House. You could tell he wasn't all that into it; but had it been Sara he would have been the one forcing Lincoln into it.

I honestly hate that Sara is gone, mostly because as you said, Michael is completely alone now. Once he breaks out, what does he have left to live for? With the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised to see LJ go too.

Then what do we have? Michael + Lincoln. Two brothers who have nothing to live for; except maybe revenge. But I do not want the writers to turn this into a "must get revenge, kill everyone!" show. I want the show to remain true to Michael's quote,

"Believe me, I understand the impulse to pull the trigger, but if we lose ourselves, we lose everything."

Is it true that the next episode doesn't air until the 22nd?

I hate MLB playoffs.

You're thinking too logically.

Maybe you, your wife, and me wouldn't all of a sudden think someone we met 2 months ago is the single most important thing to us but things were different for Michael.

I know you watched Season 2. You can't honestly believe that you didn't think Sarah wasn't extremely important to Michael. Think about everything he sacrificed just so he could be with her.

I agree that he believed it driven mainly by guilt for sacrificing an innocent person in his grand plan that morphed into some deep feelings. But in the end it was all brought about by guilt.

I hope not, that would suck.

It's all relative-you liked them together or you didn't care much. I never saw the sparks or cared about the character(pretty bland if you ask me) so RIP Sara.

Re: Prison Break Season 3 (Spoiler warning during airing and for west coast)

I still cannot believe she wouldn't agree to just shoot a couple of scenes at her house. Unbelieveabley selfish.

That is a Punahou graduate for you. If you are from the islands you know what I mean.

Re: Prison Break Season 3 (Spoiler warning during airing and for west coast)

It's been confirmed that the next episode of Prison Break will air on the 22nd of October.

I hate when the MLB playoffs interupt my TV schedule.
