Warehouse 13 finishes its season with a BANG

Warehouse 13's first season has been quite interesting. That it airs in the summer is certainly an advantage, for while I enjoy it immensely, it would quickly lose out to other shows. Notice how this posting on its finale, its last episode until next summer, finds itself in the 6am slot, while Castle and The Mentalist have their second season premieres spotlighted.

In the summer, however, it will earn a plum spot since fewer shows air in those months.

And the finale certainly makes you want to see what will happen next summer. MacPherson was naturally the focus. Pete, Mika and Artie pursued him with uneasy success, knowing they were being led into a trap. It involved misdirection and a man able to take-on Artie's appearance with the use of a thimble. Though Artie was nearly killed in said trap, Mika and Pete managed to defeat MacPherson and save him.

Back at the Warehouse, Claudia and Leena discovered that MacPherson had known Claudia, and indeed had helped her break into the Warehouse's firewalls back in episode 5 when she first appeared. Then Mrs Frederick and Leena discover that MacPherson has been stealing Warehouse artifacts, and Claudia's ID was used to do it. Though Claudia has no memory of doing this, MacPherson has access to artifacts which may have mind control aspects.

So we aren't sure if Claudia will be okay, now that MacPherson is arrested, but at least he's been stopped. He gets taken to be bronzed... essentially frozen like Han Solo. And Artie says good bye. No more MacPherson, as one expects from a finale...a little confusion for next season, with the main problem resolved...

But it wasn't. No! Claudia releases MacPherson from his bronze prison, and waves at the camera. Together they head for the exit, when we discover it is Leena, not Claudia, using the thimble. MacPherson sets the place to blow, and leaves. Artie pursues him, not waiting for Pete or Mika, and while they escape the explosion, he has no where to go.

Now there is an exciting ending which almost makes me kick and scream that I have to wait for MONTHS until I get to see what happens next.

But then, with everything else I'm watching, I can't be too too angry.

And so I will wait patiently, distracting myself, until Warehouse 13 returns.
