  Prison Break Finale - Perfect

  Wow. I wasn't sure that I would enjoy the series finale to Prison Break and I still don't think the final ten minutes beats out Six Feet Under, but the chills that ran down my spine the second that Sara bought the flowers was almost the same one I had throughout the Six Feet Under final sequence. This show made a living off of doing the unbelievable. This show made you sacrifice common sense and logic in order to follow it. Look at the finale as a terrific example. Kellerman is alive. What other show does that? When a character is "dead" that character is dead on any other show. Sara and Kellerman both effectivly came back to life in this show - but thats what Prison Break was about. That's what the show was about.

  But for the final five minutes it was something more. For everything that we have been through over the four years of this show - in the end its a show about people. People who havent always done the right things and haven't done the right choices. The final five minutes showed how one man brought them all together. How one man saved everyone. Am I upset that Michael is dead after watching the show for four seasons and the "happy ending" for everyone wasn't acheived. I was at first, but I am so satisfied with the way that the show ended and where everyone is today. Michael Scofield was the change he wanted to see in the world. All the bad things that everyone did - he changed everyone. He mad everyone at the grave that day a better person and he lives on with our characters in that way. Amazing Show. Amazing Ending. Loved every second of the finale.

  The finale of a show to me is everything. The finale and how everything ties together can make or break a shows position on my "all-time" favorites list. As it stands now...here are my rankings for shows I have watched every episode of...

  1. Six Feet Under

  2. Prison Break

  3. Alias

  4. Friends

  "Kings" - Best Pilot In A Long Time

  I think that "Kings" has started with the best pilot episode since "Fringe" late in 2008. I do think that the two-hour episode was much needed in order to really draw me into the show and this is one show that I will be watching in the weeks to come. I think this pilot shows a lot of promise for the show. The show isn't going to come out and blow your mind with action every week. This is a show that is going to be good based on the quality of its characters and right now I don't think I've seen such a well put together cast since "Lost" and "Six Feet Under". I think this show has potential to be in my top five when its all said and done.

  What Worries Me --> Only 6 million viewers for the opening episode in a very tough Sunday night timeslot. NBC has promted this show terribly. Outside of seeing 2-3 previews on an epsiode of Heroes, nothing. Nothing on any other station, newspaper, magazine. I think this show has a lot of promise and I would hate to see it get cancelled after only a couple of episodes. It is a big BIG budget show and it needs to perform better then it did opening night in order to really have a chance of surviving.

  Main Idea (Two Main Characters, Plot Spoilers) --> I love the main idea of the show. A modern day country that is rules by a King. The King keeps notes on a blackberry looking device that he can get access too later. The King himself is a very good actor. On the surface he seems like the most powerful man in this kingdom, however, behind the scenes there is a man who is controlling all of the money in the kingdom and if the kind chooses to cross this man he is going to destory everything that the king has accomplished. We got right into this aspect of the show in this epsiode when the man (brother in law to the king) told him that he wanted to continue the war.

  David is a great lead character too. I think that was the aspect I loved the most about the show. Two big stars will be able to carry this show into something really great I think. I do like David more then the king, but they are both great characters. The beginning scene kind of set up the episode well, but at the same time the two year jump seemed pretty quick and I don't think they are ever going to go back to the last two years. I think there are a lot of good stories that could have been told in those two years, but I think I will grow to accept such a huge gap right there at the beginning of the show.
