Only read if you finished the series.

I think in a way the football did make an appearance, as the last meteor, before the screen fades to black.

But yes one last throw at some point in the episode would have been good.

Oh, I loved those scenes. I just think the football would have been a perfect finishing touch. However, they still ended the show on a great note, and apparently the Warehouse didn't move since it still seemed to be 13 when they panned out at the end, and the agents were clearly American. Of course, all the more reason why the football should have had one last cameo...

I have to wonder whatever ultimately happened to the others. I'd like to think they went on to become regents in latter years and ultimately lived long, full lives. I guess that's the beauty of having it left to our imaginations. We can end it how we want.

All in all, it was a satisfying ending for me. I'll miss the show, but it was time.

I thought I was wrong once. It turned out I was mistaken...

OP your right the ending should of had the football

I totally agree! Tears here too. Not about Lost( Ending ruined the whole show) TWD ok, but not in Warehouse 13 league!.

I liked the whole Pete/Myka thing, but then I do like happy romantic endings. The thing about that whole dynamic that I liked best, though, was that they kept it entirely open-ended throughout the whole series. You could easily watch the show and see hints that Pete and Myka were like brother and sister, or you would see hints that they're in love. The fact that the writers were able to do that really let me enjoy the show!

I completely agree with you.

The Pete/Myka thing... I get that some fans wanted it, but it seemed rushed and too forced and so to me, as you mentioned, the revelation seemed out of the blue.

And yes, Artie had a son? That seems so random. They're a tight group and I just don't buy that in 5 years he didn't mention or there weren't hints of anything like that. Sure, they can say he just wanted to keep it to himself, but it's a bit strange anyway.


That being said, I LOVED the whole series and I really enjoyed the finale, although it would have been a great touch if, as said, they ended it with the football, since it was a recurring object in previous seasons. But, oh well. :)

Hail Eris!

Storytelling-wise, I think romance is a cheap audience draw, as a rule, and is hardly ever handled well, mainly because the writers are only occasionally personally experienced in it, or possess sufficient insight to write it in a way that isn't either vastly overheated or hamhanded (Someone clone Diana Gabaldon, please! No, not so we can have every romance written like Jamie and Claire's, but so they can at least potentially be written that well, D.G. being both experienced and insightful); that said, "Pyka" has been one of the more understated examples (no insult, that, believe me), on TV, since Babylon 5 ended its fourth season. Myka's rather strong resistance to Pete's charms has been one of the show's main running gags from the beginning, but not because she's not in love with him -- rather, because she is, and can't bear to admit to herself that she, a mature, successful, female professional, could fall for such a blatant Han Solo-wannabe man-child, who is clearly the protagonist of Big, surely, and not an actual adult male in his forties <discreetly sweeps entire life under the carpet;-{P}>.

Since that romance was always an obvious way for the show to go, they decided to downplay it until the final season, because *doing the obvious thing* has never been the show's trademark. All the same, though, they did let various hints of something growing between them slip through, over the years, but never unequivocal hints, so it could still come as a surprise to some viewers and fans. I highly doubt they were concerned with pleasing a particular faction of fans, much as various factions of fans of TV genrefic (Stelena vs. Delena, anyone? McCoy fans vs. Pertwee fans, or Tennant fans vs. Eccleston, Smith, or Capaldi fans, those who ship Gray and Chandler vs. those who ship Ives and Chandler vs. those who ship Frankenstein and Chandler (in a show that had already completed filming its first season, before its first episode was screened), Sam vs. Dean, etc., ad nauseam) may be convinced of the pull of other factions* to the contrary.

[1] Here's a clue for you: Fans have no pull. If showrunners/writers/exec producers/network execs choose to listen to fans, it's not because the fans have "pull," it's because these various Olympian gods were bored, or decided to show mercy to *fans in general*, not because they had some sort of obligation, or owed anyone a favour, or were consciously pandering to any particular faction. Getting them to listen to any fans at all, ever, is a victory (only for fans, mind), if their response amounts to anything more than "that's nice"; getting them to listen *to your faction* is an unalloyed miracle, because it's a crapshoot. Usually, for the sake of good storytelling, it's best if they ignore the fans, because, for the most part, we're all Ian Levine, ca. early 1980's (or, at least, Ian Levine as he alleged himself at the time -- honestly, it's better for Eric Saward's rep, and JN-T's, if Levine did everything he claimed to have done), when it comes to making plot or story suggestions for any show. Which is to say, a bunch of wankers.

A copy of the universe is not what is required of art; one of the damned things is ample.

While I'm no fan of the overused "will they or won't they" plot device in television, this was definitely not out of the blue. There were signs all along that she had deep feelings for him. I mean, he was the only person she told about her cancer. That one person has to be awfully important.
Yeah, Artie's son was rather distracting but I liked seeing Levine again. Since Freaks and Geeks, I've enjoyed catching him in shows.

Brother, yoµ can believe in stones, as long as yoµ don't throw them at me.

I read on Twitter that they forgot about the football idea until it was too late to add it than said that is why they did the whole star like idea instead .But the way the ending it with Claudia wow that was so cool and all the voice over in the final seconds Amazing.
