製片人揭秘越獄幕後：解釋邁克為何而死
http://edu.sina.com.cn/en/2009-05-19/153451506.shtml

　　關於何時決定邁克將在大結局中死去？

　　第四季開場時在參與別的劇集時，考慮到如果沒有做足準備突然讓觀眾至愛的人物
死去，他們會恨死你，因為連個哀悼的時間都沒有。於是我們決定讓他有點健康問題，
這樣莎拉就有機會緬懷，林肯也能夠提前意識到自己的兄弟即將離去，而觀眾們也有所
心理準備。通過這些畫面橋段的呈現，所有人都可以抒發自己的情緒。

　　TVGuide.com: 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。

　　關於溫特沃斯·米勒對於自己角色的死去作何反應？

　　他很喜歡這樣的安排。早在之前我們就有過相關的交談，他認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。所以最後所有其他人都活
了下來，而邁剋死去，對於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
。

　　TVGuide.com: 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。」

　　關於電視台反對邁克之死？

　　其實也分成了兩派，一半人希望邁克莎拉圓滿結局，另一半則認為邁克理應死去。
但看到劇本之後，大家都同意現在的安排很合理。

　　TVGuide.com: 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。

　　關於7月21日隨DVD發行的《越獄特別篇：最後的飛越》？

　　故事發生在所有人都被赦免之後，所以當時邁克還會活著。

　　TVGuide.com: 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。

　　關於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。

　　TVGuide.com: 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。

　　關於Paul Kellerman的回歸？

　　以前碰到他的時候就跟他說需要你的時候會打電話找你的。他一直對此心懷期待。
雖然我們也不知道劇情會去向何處，但早就決定是會留在大結局揭曉的。

　　TVGuide.com: Let』s talk about the returns. Did Paul Adelstein (now on
Private Practice) foresee your phone call coming? I have always told him
that Kellerman would one day resurface。

　　Olmstead: I』ve run into him occasionally, and I』d say, 「One day you』
ll get a phone call。」 He was always enthusiastic about it. We didn』t
know obviously what the storyline was going to be, but we increasingly
wanted to save it for the finale。


    關於C-Note的回歸？
    他的回歸倒是充滿了意料之外的驚喜。因為知道是大結局，並不想隨便帶個人回來
跑個龍套就結束了，還是希望他能夠在大結局的劇情中發揮一定的作用。

　　TVGuide.com: Rockmund Dunbar [who plays C-Note], I have to imagine, was
a bit more surprised。
    Olmstead: I think so. We knew that this was [the end], and who did we
the writers want to see back? Who would make a nice impact in terms of the
viewers? We didn』t want to just bring him back in a service role; we
wanted him to come back for a plot twist。


    關於有沒有想過讓女總統卡羅琳回歸？
    這個角色就算了，沒考慮過。

　　TVGuide.com: Did you consider bringing back Patricia Wettig』s
disgraced President Caroline Reynolds?
    Olmstead: No, no…. That character is done。

    關於蘇克雷的女友Maricruz？
    我們有考慮過，但是想想最後她最多也就抱著孩子說一兩句話，實在也沒什麼必要
，就算咱願意人家演員也不願意啊。

　　TVGuide.com: And were none of the various Maricruz actresses available?
    Olmstead: We thought about it, but all that we really see is probably
her holding the child, or saying one line. It just wasn』t worth our while
— and I doubt the actresses would have been interested either。

    關於T-Bag的結局是最佳選擇？
    大結局中要包含一些溫馨甜蜜、一些小驚喜和一些悲劇成分。人們自然不願意
T-Bag還逃亡在外，這樣邁克就要背個大黑鍋了，造了孽放虎歸山。

    當然你也不能就這麼把他給殺了，觀眾實在是太喜歡這個人物了。所以我們就把他
放回到他最初開始的地方，但是讓他聽到一些關於GATE公司的東西，小小地折磨他一下
，讓他想到自己差一點就出人頭地了。

　　TVGuide.com: Robert Knepper told TV Guide Network』s Hollywood 411 that
the fate you chose for T-Bag was the 「greatest」 of all the options。
    Olmstead: I think it was very poetic. For us [the coda] was the right
combination of people getting just desserts, sweet surprises and tragedy.
People were saying that you couldn』t have T-Bag still on the loose, that
you couldn』t do the Hannibal Lecter version of it, because that would put
a black mark on Michael. That he unleashed this monster on the world.

    Nor could you kill T-Bag, because ironically he was too loved by the
audience. So we put him back where he started, but with a heartache. He
overhears this thing about GATE and it strikes a chord. It reminds him of
what he almost had。
    關於馬洪的幸福生活？
    這部分正是驚喜的部分。他給前妻寄一張生日卡，和他以前的同事成了一對兒。具
體的細節還會在《越獄特別篇：最後的飛越》中展開。

　　TVGuide.com: That was an interesting romantic twist you did there with
Mahone。
    Olmstead: That was one of the surprises. Here he is, sending a birthday
card to his ex-wife, yet now he』s with his former [FBI] colleague [Felicia
Lang]. We provide more 「what happened」 information on that in The Final
Break。

    關於四年中最自豪的時刻？
    我們的編劇團隊非常出色，有些人是從第一季開始合作至今的，之後又不斷有人加
入，有新的東西呈現給大家。在編劇罷工之後的艱難時刻努力證明自己，我們做到了。

　　TVGuide.com: When last you and I spoke, you said that Michael』s
overnight tattoo removal was your least-proud moment. Looking back on the
show』s run, what are you most proud of?
    Olmstead: The thing I am by far the most proud of is that the [writing]
staff was pretty much the same through all four years. There were people
who were there from the beginning to the very end — Zack Estrin, Nick
Santora, Karyn Usher — and we had other writers who came up through writers
』 assistants and then got staffed — Seth Hoffman, Kalinda Vazquez,
Christian Trokey….

     It was a very tight group, and everything was done collectively,
because it is such a serialized show. Every outline was tabled as a group,
every script was tabled as a group, every cut was watched as a group…. We
got to see people evolve and flourish and evolve, and as luxury to me, I
had eight people who were all heavy hitters. At the beginning of this
season, we were at a crossroads with the network and the studio — it was
post-strike, an accelerated process — about what we were going to do. We
had to really show them something, and everybody pitched in and we solved it
。


    關於大結局的收視率？
    不知道誒，忙著準備5月18號的拍片會了。

　　TVGuide.com: Is there any ratings number you can hit with the series
finale that will get The Final Break broadcast on Fox?
    Olmstead: I really don』t know. I don』t even know if they』ve seen it,
being busy preparing for the [May 18] upfronts. But we』re really proud of
it, and I hope you like it。
