Some more reviews from the fans!

Maritza:

How far can a good man go and still call himself a good man? This is one of the fundamental questions underlying Michael Scofield’s actions in the Prison Break series. Everything he has done wrong - all the times he has used and manipulated people, bent the rules and downright broken them - has been in the name of family and love.

As a season finale, The Art of The Deal, neatly wraps up some of the existing arcs and expertly creates new storylines to pursue in a subsequent season. Whether there’s going to be one or not, the episode gave us all the nail-biting, cliff-hanging tension we could have asked for. For every question it answered, it spawned at least two more, leaving fans wanting more.

But it also brought Michael’s continued moral struggle sharply back into focus. When he aims the gun at Gretchen’s back and hesitates, I had to ask myself - can he do it? Has he been corrupted enough to be able to kill his enemy in cold blood, from behind? It’s one thing setting up T-Bag, Lechero and Bellick to be caught while escaping. He can always argue that he didn’t intend for them to be shot in the process. But killing Gretchen requires him sink to a new level of darkness within himself. And as we saw, he’s not quite there yet. And there’s a chance he would have left it at that, and not continued his vendetta, if LJ hadn’t given him the origami rose that triggered the flashback to Sara, once again steeling his resolve to revenge her death.

Of course I look forward to season four to see how Sucre fares in Sona under T-Bag’s populist rule, and exactly what underhand business Gretchen and Whistler have that makes Mahone a useful ally. But mostly, I am eager to see where Michael’s personal journey takes him. There are some things a man has to do on his own, as neatly suggested by the final shots of Michael driving down a deserted Panamanian beach road with Lincoln staying behind to attempt to build a new family with LJ and Sofia. Will there be happiness, or merely self-destruction at the end of that road? Time will tell.

I personally enjoyed the Prison Break finale (Episode 3.13). My favorite part by far was when Whistler walked into the bar and spoke to Mahone! I was somewhat disappointed by the Sara flashback. I was expecting something more. And the lack of a cameo was slightly disappointing as well. But I thought everything else was acted out very well and left us wanting more.

But enough of what I think! Here’s how the rest of you reviewed the episode…

Juan:

I thought that the episode was one of the most action packed episodes yet. I enjoyed how there was a lot of character development in so many instances. My favorite scene was when Micheal broke the glass case in the museum. It was a decent finale but I still feel that it would have been a better finale had the show aired the remaining 9 episodes intended to air. It would have stretched into some real closure so that production on season 4 could be fresh with a clean slate. The beginnings of S1 (Micheal goes to jail), S2 (Micheal is free), S3 (Micheal goes to jail, S4 (Micheal is free) all have a pattern but I wonder how the remaining episodes would have ended the show. At the end of the first two seasons the viewers had no idea what was going to happen. This time almost all the characters have something lined up for them to do and the only speculation on their fates is HOW they will do it. I loved the episode and PB is the best show on TV!
