Michael Scofield was finally able to take down Poseidon during thePrison Breakfinalebut not without some losses.
EW turned to executive producer Paul Scheuring to get scoop on that grim, but hopeful finale.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The main trio make it through the revival mostly unscathed.
PAUL SCHEURING:Neither.
What was that alternate ending?
Would you want to bring the show back for more?
I don’t make the show go on just because we want the show to go on.
How do you make it not redundant?
I felt this season was different in that it was based upon the Odyssey.
I felt like that was a strong narrative to do for nine episodes.
So I guess Jacob was born out of that.
Is it safe to say Lincoln ended up with Sheba?
Lincoln’s always tough with women, you know?
He’s not too forthcoming emotionally and so we want to see to it that the possibility is there.
Can you talk about why you decided to kill Whip?
Well, that was irony.
Irony of ironies, who’s his cellmate but T-Bag.
Also, in a lot of ways, you could never have a happily-ever-after moment for T-Bag.
He’s too cursed.
So it’s supposed to be heartbreaking, but it also leads the ultimate justice for Jacob.
You semi-redeemed T-Bag at the end of the revival, though he kills Jacob in the end.
Did you not want to fully redeem him?
He always has to be the broken man.
He has to be the sinner, he has to be the criminal and a killer.
I think that’s what makes people keep coming back for him.
With that, at the same time, the duality is that you have empathy for him.
Well, he’s a killer again."
Is there anything you wish you had gotten to do this season?
That’s a good question.
