"Prison Break:" It's Over
Well, that, as we say, is that: "Prison Break" will end in May, forever, while the final episodes will begin to air on Friday, April 17. Fox announced this minutes ago at the TV Critics tour out in Universal City (I'm not there because I heard the weather was going to be warm, and I'd much rather be in the minus 5 we're about to be frozen solid by.)
Is this ending a surprise? Ha! You're kidding, right? I've lost count of all the major character departures, and the buzz on "Break" is so low that it sounds like a beehive in the dead of winter. (Although I read somewhere that Stephen King was the biggest fan in the world, so what do I know.) The end was expected. Really expected. We'll learn in a little while whether Fox will add to its original 22-ep order just to wrap things up.
