Sorry for the late commentary, but I used the DVR and finally finished Season 6. I would still love to hear another person's take on the ending.
Okay, I could piece together a lot of the missing pieces, but one thought still remains on my mind. Was Michael's masterful plan at the finale to have Whip killed? I know that the initial thought is a resounding NO, because of Michael's inability to even murder and his closeness to Whip...however, if the answer is no, then many more questions arise. Michael said that he was not surprised when blonde agent showed up. How was Michael anticipating his original plan to go? How was he expecting to disarm this agent and have Jacob run after him? If T-Bag was supposed to disarm her, how would Jacob feel comfortable chasing Michael when its 3 against one? If it was Michael's plan to have T-Bag kill Jacob right then and there, how would he have staged the video to free him of the murder of the CIA director?
My thoughts, at the moment, is Michael's plan (being completely calculated and knowing his opponent), knew that the blonde agent would arrive and knew how Whip would respond to her. Knowing this, he knew that the outcome would be Whip being shot, T-Bag left to be grieving and guarded by the agent, and inevitably causing Jacob to chase after Michael with a gun loaded with blanks. Either that, or Michael's plan had a lot of holes in it for a genius that had been planning this series of events for the last 4 years. If this is the case, Michael's personality seems to conflict with many prior series...which in itself is pretty disappointing.
The only saving grace I could see is if they did conduct another series, brought Whip back to life (by adding in a twist to Michael's plan) and filling in the holes in the plot (i.e. why it appears T-Bag didn't know).
Your thoughts?
