Upon being found, Self convinces Michael to help him take down the Company by uncovering Scylla (which is spread out between six cards). What was the point of investing so much time on Whistler if his death was going to be this meaningless?Īfter his death Michael is again on the run only to be found by Homeland Security agent Don Self (Michael Rapaport). Killing Whistler so quickly literally made whatever happened in season three irrelevant. Not to mention Whistler who had so much mystery and importance in season three, was killed off abruptly by a Company operative after being found colluding with Mahone and Michael behind Gretchen’s back. So what could have been an interesting couple of episodes seeing Michael hunt Gretchen was completely disregarded. But before Michael was able to pull the trigger on Gretchen, we get a “twist” in that Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) is actually alive and that her death was faked because she escaped in Panama. In the first ten minutes of episode one Michael hunts down Gretchen (Jodi O’Keefe), Whistler (Chris Vance) and Mahone (William Fichtner) who are searching for a device named Scylla for the Company. Prison Break however was able to ruin all of that in the mere opener of the season. On paper this concept seems quite interesting as we have never seen a vengeful Michael on the show nor have we seen him go after something or someone on his own. In Season four we see Michael (Wentworth Miller) seeking revenge for the death of Sarah, Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) and LJ in Panama and the rest of our favorite escapees still in Sona. Racing out of the gates during season one and season two Prison Break faltered in season three and nearly collapsed in season four.
