Michael’s tattoos seem mostly worthless (unlike season one where the complexity of the prison architecture and the profundity of his plan actually warranted them), and as Poseidon scrambles to decode the eyes on his tattoo, the audience wonders why Michael bothered broadcasting his seemingly straightforward schemes.
Perhaps most interestingly, Michael’s tattoos seemed irrelevant as anything other than a nostalgia-forced plot requirement until the season finale. Much of the rest of the season involves outrunning explosions and bands of marauding ISIS terrorists with Lincoln and his friends by his side. Michael’s initial prison break in season five involves minimal finesse other than a blackout and a convenient air duct. Poseidon and his agenda is cliché and simplistic (rogue CIA agent tries to fix the government his way and enlists some loyal, unquestioning minions). However, the season wasn’t particularly well-developed and lacked the complexity of season one. Season five essentially proved to be a nostalgic return to a show that had been a trailblazer when it first debuted. Episode nine starts to provide the first real plot twists of the season. Lincoln ends up wounded, and Michael narrowly avoids a bullet. And, as a bonus, the final scene returns to Fox River where it all started.Įpisode eight of the nine-episode final season concluded in graphic fashion, implying that both Lincoln and Michael might be dead. The series gets the happily-ever-after ending that season four and Michael’s apparent death didn’t provide the first time around. Prison Break season five, and particularly the finale, provided well-deserved closure for fans of Michael Scofield and his family. They spent those nine years mourning Michael’s apparent death and equally bemoaning the drop-off in quality from the stellar first two seasons to the convoluted, underwhelming final two. Hardcore Prison Break fans waited nine years for the return of the popular Scofield-centric escape show. The revival of Prison Break aired its last episode May 30, 2017, on FOX.
