The show had a good run. It was interesting, different, entertaining, had great characters and mostly good stories.

Amusing too. I actually look at people in our government now and think 'definitely Wesen.'

I can't believe people are taking the finale so seriously. It's only tv. The finale was entertaining--provided closure, and now I'm having Friday night withdrawals.

The End.

Well put Enigma777.

And YES, I also have times where I think 'definitely Wesen'!

Yes, terrible writing.


In the interviews I read, the show-runners as much as said they were up against the clock with scheduling conflicts, and had delays because of weather in the Portland area during filming, so I imagine that explains why the finished product was so sloppy.

Excuse me for expecting the writers of a TV show that I have invested 6 years in, to tell a coherent story....

It doesn't have to be perfect but it at the very least has to add up.

This would be like..... if in the movie Titanic, the ship just all of a sudden started sinking without showing or explaining that it had hit an iceburgh.

I can't comprehend something that the writers have not provided the necessary information required to understand it.

Why would they do that? There's really no need to know where the other 2 keys are, because the treasure was already found. The other 2 are basically redundant, which brings in to question just how effective the whole plan for the keys was in the first place, given that not all of them were even needed to find the treasure or to open it up in the first place....


Man, the more I think about it, the more the criticisms of this show continue to mount....

they tried to pack waaaaaay too much information into the forced short season. i think had this been a regular full season, they might have had plenty of time to explain it all before the ending. cramming all that info into 13 short episodes wasn't a good idea

Hell of a lot better than the show being abruptly cancelled with no ending at all as far as I am concerned.

Something else I learned was that "when you kill the skull man, the clock resets itself to the point in time where skull guy came through the mirror"..... Why did the show runners have to explain that? Why couldn't they have had Monroe read that from one of his books, and then the audience would have known?

Most people who have made a habit of watching this type of show/movie didn't have a problem reaching the proper conclusions without having them all spelled out in detail.


For instance, coming under the spell of the villain is as old as Dracula.

On this count, I agree.

Why didn't they have the skull man point his scepter at Diana, then have her stop, as if in a trance, and then show her eyes light up all pink?


Boom.. It really could have been something that simple, and it would have been clear what was happening.

Exactly. Like I said before, I never liked the kid playing Diana. One facial expression for all of her scenes. Don't know if that was on purpose or not but it turned me right off of Diana character. Yes, I think I remember her eyes doing their blaze when skullman came into the room but it wasn't anything we haven't seen before and I actually thought she was fighting skullman when she got her glazed eyes. Pink would have indicated to me, at least, something different was happening.
