I'd say its still a fun series, though it starts... Growing the beard in the sense that its really established its universe, rules, and etc and now can take on weightier plot lines. Fun, but it does get rather grim at times which I won't spoil why.
Which is dashed to shit when its final "season" is six fucking episodes that backtrack on the previous few seasons. Though, I thought I'd hate the Hispanic Soap Opera episode and I ended up loving it.
I'm a critical person but I'm a nice guy when you get to know me. Now, I should be writing.Definitely. Now that it's over you're capable of seeing reviews, figuring out roughly where it's going, and you can get the seasons on Netflix or DVD without wondering what the creators are going to come up with next. It's always sad when a show ends, but it's not a bad thing when you can get the complete series and know it had a worthy ending. Which it did. I stopped watching for a while, but I tuned in for the finale and it worked for the show.
The soap opera episode was the sort of crazy stupid hilarious this show just loves... though I think I would have liked it better if it had been aired at a more lighthearted point in the show. As it is it does feel kind of out of place. Not much they could have done about that, I guess, but still...
Seriously, though. Old girlfriend shows up heavily pregnant, but the real problem is "my grandma's TV is haunted"? This show in a nutshell XD

Agreed. It was the fun odd-ball episode in a season of... really crampt plot. I assume that they probably always intended to do such an episode and, when given a final order of only 6 episodes, they smashed it in there. That, or it was a quick comic relief episode made on the spot.
The stereotypically Gay Jinks episode was funny but I wish it had a better conclusion.
I'm a critical person but I'm a nice guy when you get to know me. Now, I should be writing.Claudia's sister wasn't in the warehouse though.
Didn't Claudia have a brother at somepoint, come to think of it? Also, I feel like, while the whole 'the artifact was destroyed but the effect it had weren't' angle was interesting, I can't help but feel like we've had scenes in previous seasons where the artifact was destroyed and the powers stopped. I can even think of one this season.
Instead of bagging the record player, didn't Myka just shove it over and destroy it?
I'm a critical person but I'm a nice guy when you get to know me. Now, I should be writing.I think the reason it didn't work with the music box had something to do with its power fully transferring to the sis. And yeah, she does have a brother, he's just busy at CERN. He was even mentioned in the previous season finale, though I'm not sure if we were told where he was while the music box thing was going down. University? How much older than Claudia is he?
Still, considering they're introducing this plot point in a horribly rushed 6-episode-season, I'd be surprised if the broken artifact rule is consistent with the previous seasons. The lack of explaining the difference between the Music Box incident and the afore-mentioned Record Player don't help matters.
That's why I was asking. No mention in any of the past dialogue of him. Which is incredibly strange. Her sister is in her late thirties, seemingly, and Claudia is 21, I think. Leaving her brother (I think his name was Patrick, my name, for some reason, but I could be wrong) around 25-ish? Which means he should logically have witnessed the Music Box stuff as he isn't much older than Claudia, but he's never mentioned.
I'm a critical person but I'm a nice guy when you get to know me. Now, I should be writing.Well, it might depend on the artifact. Some of the artifacts need to be actively doing things to function, but the music box seemed more like it was storing the powers and they got moved into Claudia's sister.
Like...most of the artifacts sort of act like the center of a viral effect, or the artifact itself does the effect, but in this case the abilities seem to have a "one person at a time" thing going on.
Finally got the Series Finale.
... I'm not entirely sure if I liked that episode. The flashbacks to mid-mystery we've never heard of were bothersome in that I would have liked to see a few of them as full episodes. There's too little context to add any tension either. I did like the 42nd Street opening though, but there were some real contrivances there such as "You need to do this Claudia. You're the only one" without explaining WHY she's the only one who can.
I was also sort of put off by Mrs. Fredrick's flashback moments happening entirely off screen since I don't think we ever got her backstory to all of this. Jink's backstory was nice and I liked what it was doing, but it felt awkward since he basically third-wheels everyone else's plotlines, something he notes before his flashback. The addition of Artie having a son was also out of nowhere and I think that would have been brought up a lot sooner, particularly since he had a girlfriend last season.
Still hating the Pete and Myka love each other story. That kiss had... no chemistry and the writing was off and... Ugh. Please don't. "I just realized you totally have a thing for Pete that never came up before this month." I cringed.
Lastly, the final scene was a bit confusing... So, wait, the entire episode was about the warehouse moving to another country, but 'Decades Later' its STILL in the same mountain? And its STILL Warehouse 13 as based on the hats the Future!Warehouse Staff are wearing? Was Pete and everyone's concern about the Warehouse moving all for nothing? Was this episode technically pointless???
I want to like this episode. I REALLY want to. But there are so many issues with it...
I'm a critical person but I'm a nice guy when you get to know me. Now, I should be writing.No idea on which part? The part about Marzotto killing himself? Because I feel I summed it up pretty well. A bit more explanation:
Marzotto apparently stole the artifact from wherever it was originally. Somewhere in Italy. He gave the artifact to Lorna Soliday, unaware of its power, because he thought they was in lurv. When Myka and Peter started snooping around he wanted to take it back so he could return it, and Soliday was all "lolno, die in a fire, beeyotch."
Or did you mean how the artifact work? Techno Babble + A Wizard Did It.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-My DVR, instead or recording the new episode and Finale of the series, decided to go "Oh, screw that final episode of this series you love so much. Here! Have a whole crap load of the old episodes that you love instead of the episode that will probably have you throwing you're remote at me... Why are you coming at me with a crowbar?"
Is it on Hulu or some download site that I don't need an account for?
