關(guān)于何時(shí)決定邁克將在大結(jié)局中死去？
第四季開場(chǎng)時(shí)在參與別的劇集時(shí)，考慮到如果沒有做足準(zhǔn)備突然讓觀眾至愛的人物死去，他們會(huì)恨死你，因?yàn)檫B個(gè)哀悼的時(shí)間都沒有。于是我們決定讓他有點(diǎn)健康問題，這樣莎拉就有機(jī)會(huì)緬懷，林肯也能夠提前意識(shí)到自己的兄弟即將離去，而觀眾們也有所心理準(zhǔn)備。通過這些畫面橋段的呈現(xiàn)，所有人都可以抒發(fā)自己的情緒。

: At what point during the four-year run did you decide that Michael would die in the end?
Matt Olmstead: At the beginning of this season, we had a debate about it. I was on NYPD Blue and I came on during Season 6, which was Jimmy Smits’ last arc — and it was some of the best TV ever. They had the thought that when a character goes that’s beloved, if you drop a safe on his head, the audience is going to hate you, because they haven’t had a chance to mourn. So let’s show up early that the character has a [health] problem. [NYPD Blue creator] David [Milch] did it brilliantly [with Smits' character dying of heart failure], and I always remembered that. So when we met with the writers after the [WGA] strike, we asked ourselves: Is Michael going to last? Either way, let’s [give him] a nosebleed in Episode 1. That way we can kind of suggest that something’s up, and it also gives us the opportunity to play some scenes — if we want to go down this road — where Sara can mourn it, Lincoln’s aware of it, and the audience is aware of it. Then they too have a chance to mourn the loss.

關(guān)于溫特沃斯·米勒對(duì)于自己角色的死去作何反應(yīng)？
他很喜歡這樣的安排。早在之前我們就有過相關(guān)的交談，他認(rèn)為邁克的雙手同樣沾滿了無辜之人的鮮血，幫助哥哥越獄卻害得很多其他人遇難。所以最后所有其他人都活了下來，而邁克死去，對(duì)于米勒來說也是恰到好處的安排，至少他所愛之人都安然無恙。

: What was Wentworth Miller’s take on the matter?
Olmstead: He ultimately liked it. He had heard rumblings, and when that script went out, a complimentary email came back from him, because he saw the merits of it. The idea of Michael not making it stemmed from a conversation he and I had in Season 2. He said that at this point [Michael's] hands were as dirty as anyone’s, and that was something we addressed along the way, this mounting guilt. “I broke my brother out of prison, the ramifications of which have included people getting killed” — neither he the actor nor the character were ignorant or dismissive of that. So the idea of a finale where [in the coda] he doesn’t make it but everyone else does was the right ending for him as an actor. For Michael to have traipsed off into the sunset with Sara may have seemed a little like, “Hey, good for you guys.”

關(guān)于電視臺(tái)反對(duì)邁克之死？
其實(shí)也分成了兩派，一半人希望邁克莎拉圓滿結(jié)局，另一半則認(rèn)為邁克理應(yīng)死去。但看到劇本之后，大家都同意現(xiàn)在的安排很合理。

: But the network fought you on the death, right?
Olmstead: It was split over there; half the people wanted to see Sara and Michael together, and half saw the merit in Michael not making it. Once they saw the scripts, they agreed unilaterally that it was the right move to make.

關(guān)于7月21日隨DVD發(fā)行的《越獄特別篇：最后的飛越》？
故事發(fā)生在所有人都被赦免之后，所以當(dāng)時(shí)邁克還會(huì)活著。

: It should be noted that Michael is alive in Prison Break: The Final Break (a two-hour standalone movie slated for a July 21 DVD release).
Olmstead: Right. The Final Break takes place shortly after everyone’s exoneration, so we go back and see Michael alive.

關(guān)于邁克和莎拉的兒子小邁克的彩繪紋身？
是編劇Nich想到的主意，故意安排的橋段。

: That was a nice little wink you had there with Michael Jr. getting a fake tattoo.
Olmstead: Yeah, it was [writer/co-executive producer] Nick Santora who had that idea.
