Now that the shock of Sara’s PRISON BREAK return has worn off a wee bit, this TV Addict got to thinking [yes, apparently I tend to do that when the TV is turned off]. Should fans really be screaming for showrunner Matt Omstead’s head [preferably, in a box]? It’s not like this is the first time a network, a studio and a team of writers have come together in the face of adversity and done what will from here on in be referred to as ‘pulled a PRISON BREAK.’
Now obviously I know what you’re thinking. Sounds suspiciously similar to ‘Jumping the Shark No?’. Here’s the difference. Where a show can Jump the Shark for a plethora of reasons, ‘Pulling [or pulled] a PRISON BREAK’ only occurs as a final, desperate, some may say somewhat slightly sinister attempt on behalf of the Powers That Be to suck every last drop of cash from a dedicated fan base. Essentially throwing caution, mythology and logic to the wind in an effort to produce one final depressing, yet financially lucrative season.
