"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sniff.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I haven't been good on keeping up with Eureka, but that last scene had me clutching my breast and squealing with tearish joy. (I think that any horrible bad writing could have happened in the twenty billion episodes between the premiere and the finale, and that scene would still have filled me with glee).

Aw, Eureka. I will miss having you show up on my TV. That hit all the notes I wanted, I think.

Other than Jo and Zane, it was perfect.

In the alternate future that Henry created to keep his girlfriend alive how old was Jack and Allison's baby or was she pregnant at the graduation? I was just wondering how this pregnancy lines up with that one.

I haven't been privy to each and every step of Jo and Zane's trials and tribulations, but even so I was annoyed at their insecurities with their future paths with or without each other. Maybe the fragility was earned, but after seeing the few eps where Jo was all wishy washy and Zane was all Ulitmatums, I'd already had my fill of their back and forth. Nice to know that Jo's cold-feet was well earned and that her mistake was letting herself get pressured into a relationship if she was still insecure about it at this point, as was he. /judgmental

Jo and Zane actually won me over this season.

I can conjure up a visual of Allison pregnant at Zoe's graduation, I think, but between all the timelines and whatnot and my bad memory, I'm not certain.

Daw, that really would make sniffle, if they got back to some sort of Once in a Lifetime scenario. But then that makes me miss Kim, and Jo/Taggart. But, hey, it was once in a lifetime, and that bittersweet ship has sailed.

But I still like the idea that out of all of that, the kid that Jack and Allison would have had will still come to be.

And I hate kids.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That's pretty much everything I wanted from a Eureka finale. I'd resigned myself to the Jo/Zane, and they made Zane appealing this season (apart from occasional brattiness).

Plus, that last scene was AWESOMELY Eureka.

And so good seeing Zoe again. And Jack being quintessentially Jack.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The cameo by Grant Imahara was funny. Were there any others?
