This season has become little more than a silly spy drama...but it is a hell of a fun ride. Though I gotta say, I take issue with this episode. I don't like that suddenly the Company may be good guys. That would just be too much of a stretch for me as it negates the entire concept of the show from day one. Plus, why couldn't Abruzzi come back in the dream sequence too?
Also...this is merely speculation, but does anyone else think Mrs. Scofield, Linc and Michael's mother is alive? Think about it...we know Scylla is being sought by someone to "become the Company." We know Michael's mother "died," of the same thing Michael has which is an incredibly rare brain tumor. We know that a woman is pulling the strings of Scylla's buyer. And we now know Mrs. Scofield worked for the Company. Plus the General dropped that line about one person having the experimental surgery Michael had and that person lived a long, happy life. Mrs.Scofield got the surgery and staged her own death is the theory I am now operating on and she is the one trying to buy Scylla. Everything adds up to make it her.
I'm mixed on this possible development. On one hand it is an incredibly corny twist that rivals the whole Jack Bauer family twist of 24 season 6. On the other hand, the cheesey intrigue of the twist fits in perfectly with this seasons whole spy/heist theme. As long as it is done well, I can deal with it. After all, reality was thrown out the door on this show long ago.
Still...to some extent, I wish the buyer of Syclla was none other than our old friend former president, Caroline Reynolds as not only would bringing her back close the series perfectly. It would also give an awesome opportunity for Kellerman to return.
Also, was this episode really Sucre's swan song? I hope so. The character had a good run, time for him to get closure like C-Note did.
Lincoln pulled a Jack Bauer on T-Bag.
