Wait for me… it won’t always be like this. In this room, in this place.

Listen, Sid.

lincoln: *breaks into prison to rescue michael*

michael: *jumps over prison wall to escape*

lincoln: *looks into the camera like he's on the office*

For you, for Sara, for Mike. So none of you would ever have to spend another day inside a prison cell.

I wanted to make it better, but I only made it worse for everyone. And somewhere in there I became a ghost.

Everything I did, I did for family.

#look at how they comfort each other #Michael always places his hands on the side of Linc’s face and neck #almost as if he can’t quite believe that his beloved brother is right here in front of him #especially in the 3rd row #he just has to touch his face #just to make sure that after all they’ve been through #he is really there #and Lincoln  #Lincoln the big brother #he often feels so helpless because Michael always has the plan #and Michael can always keep his cool and be the man with the plan #but every so often he cant #and Lincoln is so not used to seeing Michael collapse and break down #he feels helpless #so all he can do is stroke his head #and that’s his way of telling him that he is right here with him

ok ive finally been able to gather myself and i know the one thing that got me abt last night’s ep

it was so real, and more than that, it was so true to who they are

the first episode, i was blown away by how in character they all were after so many years away from these chars. i mean, sara scofield going for mundane household items to literally stab a woman in the head?? lincoln going to the ends of the world for his brother, with 0 thought?? sucre showing up to help, c-note going along, t-bag, everyone was so.. in character. 

but last night’s episode was the one where i was like. damn. this is them. don’t get me wrong - they have all clearly changed. but they’re still the characters they were, in the og series. look at michael, who absolutely KILLED me. that poor man, who only ever did everything he could to keep the people he loved safe - he was so prepared to live a happy, normal life with sara and his baby, but he didnt even THINK when it came to saving her, and more than that, saving everyone. i was so hoping they wouldn’t do this kind of plot, and it wouldn’t be the explanation for the final break.. but it makes so much sense, i can’t even be mad. michael scofield has only ever done these terrible things for the people he loves, and it has worn him down, finally, but he is still him. he’s still ‘the man with the plan’ and i just.. got hit rly hard by that

the acting was beyond amazing last night, between wentworth bringing a vulnerability to michael which we have NEVER seen before (unless u count rare glimpses in the og series.. like in j-cat, and a few other eps.. this was a proper meltdown, though), and dominic bringing a tenderness to lincoln which was so unusual but so.. him. they blew me away and they broke me down and i dont thinkill honestly recover from that episode for a long time

He’s my brother. That’s family.

Can you do a gifset of Michael putting his hands on Linc's neck when they were reunited the episode before last night's paralleled w/ Linc putting his hand on Michael's face in last night's ep?

Yep I’ll post a bunch of Michael/Lincoln stuff tonight including this :)

“At the time, I thought if I dealt with it myself, the pain would only be mine. But instead I opened this pandora’s box. I wanted to make it better, but I only made it worse foreveryone. And somewhere in there…I became a ghost.”

[scofields]

That’s family. That’s what family is for.

[scofields]

But I love you. You’ll see I loved you. I n e v e r stopped loving you. This whole lie, it was for you.

[scofields]

I’ve always wanted a crack at these bastards.
