Review

certainly the worst season of the series which probably should have ended after only 3 seasons. this one goes a bridge too far and there are about 10 deus ex machina moments that stretch believability, to say the least. the two part finale seems like an afterthought and a way to end on an up note when the real chronological ending of the series is the remembrance of michael’s death. the finale shows sara tancredi being broken out of jail and michael sacrificing himself to save her. i haven’t quite worked out why he needed to die to create the electrical short circuit that damages the electronic lock so she can escape, but perhaps i’ve over thinking it. the end is nice in a sappy sort of way and that’s probably what they were going for so whatever. a pretty good series with a final season that peters out and pulls its final punch.
