Warehouse 13 season finale - the loooong version
I needed to let out all my thoughts about the finale and this happened. I can't believe how long it got...
I'll try to go in order but I'm jumping bits like crazy because this is a Myka/HG post. D'uh.
When Myka found Emily Lake in HG's body (Hemily was it that fembuck called her in her fic?) you know her heart was racing. She needed to talk to her NOW, the hell with Pete and his warnings. Seeing her boo's uh... face again was most important.
But poor Emily was delightfully clueless. Jaime was awesome. The way she screamed and hid under the desk... LOL. But that accent... for the love of everything that's good and pure, never do that again.
I swear Myka sounded offended when she said HG was acting like she didn't even know who she is.
That last cap... Myka's all 'what have they done to my baby...?' And it continued the more she found out about Emily Lake. I swear she did not like at all that this woman was inhabiting her HG's body.
Her face!
Shit happened and the creepy guy with Jinks took Emily. And then we found out what happened to HG. And my hate for the regents grew exponentially. Ok so I get it, she tried to destroy the world. Bad thing. But let’s think for a minute. Her daughter was murdered. She went crazy trying to find a way to bring her back. Eventually she was bronzed. A woman who had serious mental issues. And she spent 100 years immobile but able to think. So, she went even more crazy. She tried to destroy the world but didn’t. They gave her a ‘humane’ way to keep living: put her conciousness in a poke-ball and give her body to another person. Get rid of the pesky body but still keep the mind around in case they need her. I just… I can’t comprehend the regents. They ARE cruel, fuck you Jane for saying you're not. IT'S NOT A NORMAL LIFE FOR HG WELLS TO SPEND ETERNITY IN A FUCKING SPHERE ONLY GETTING OUT OF THERE WHEN YOU NEED SOMETHING FROM HER. Emily Lake is not HG Wells, she only looks like her. My favorite bit with Claudia was when she let Jane have it. It was beautiful.
But I'll stop going on about the regents now. seriousfic wrote about them (or more like the craziness of the show) perfectly in this post, take a look if you're interested.
Anyway... the Janus Coin. I didn't have the energy to watch it frame by frame but according to nice folks on tumblr who did just that Myka appeared in it 6 times; 3 times during the beginning, once for family, once for friends and once for lovers.
Fuck yes. I choose to believe what they say. But of course I was curious so I did check the 'lovers' part. And they're right. When Kosan says 'lovers' this is one of the frames from the coin:
Hers is actually the very first face to appear in that segment. We know. We know.
When the gang found the coin and turned HG back on (yeah...) she was so happy to see them and just... sigh. Well, until she found out what exactly her body had been up to.
And then the first heartbreak. Fucking hell. The whole scene... It was so painful and yet so slashy and beautiful. Myka didn't want her to die. No matter what, she needed to know that HG is still alive. She was so desperate and it was all emotions and when she said "the price is too high" her voice... it just killed me.
HG, you really shouldn't be that noble! Your boo does not approve! And I hated all the talk about Emily Lake. HG, you would not live on through her! She's not you! She's someone else in your body!
I love that she got to say goodbye to everyone but damn, hate that in the end all we got to see was Pete hugging her. We needed that Myka/HG hug so bad, especially since they robbed us of it in 'Vengeance' last season. And no, them being tied up together doesn't count.
"How do you say goodbye to the one person who knows you better than anyone else?"
"I wish I knew."
"Be brave. I need your strength."
*cries*
Anyhoo... Jinks was killed and fuck you writers for doing that. But it didn't then and still fails to make me feel much because my feelings are occupied elsewhere. I must admit it even gave me hope for HG because I didn't want to believe they'd both die.
Btw, the locket. It's awesome that HG left it behind for Myka as a clue but how in the hell did Sykes get it and why did he care enough to give it to her? Obviously I shouldn't think about this too much because Myka now has it. She has to have it. I didn't see HG wearing it in the end and you know she'd put it around her neck if Myka had given it back to her in the tomb. Myka still has the locket.
Now, let's take a moment to see once more how awesome the HG Wells spin-off would be:
Yes, simply because of her.
Then we got to the tomb where the HG/Myka perfection continued which is just insane, I never expected this much from these episodes. Yes, I'm a pessimist. (I cut all the important scenes from the episodes together so I wouldn't have to keep skipping the video and I realized there's so much to squee about it's kind of hard to take in one go.)
"Change the rules."
SO.MUCH.SQUEE.
The moment they shared in the tomb when they were alone is my favorite part of the episode, simply because it makes me happy every time I watch it. Myka was tired of HG apologizing (she seriously kept telling Myka at every turn that she wasn't up to anything evil) and finally told her to stop. And then came my favorite lines:
"I believed in you and I was right."
I can't express the happiness that line causes in me. I love how she's so matter of fact about it, that her heart was right all along. That's all HG needed to hear and we can see that HG Wells just fell a little bit more in love with Myka Bering if that was possible.
"Old times... Wells and Bering solving puzzles, saving the day."
"Bering and Wells."
Just... so.much.love. THEY ARE PERFECTION.
Fan service:
And then Pete finally showed Myka that he accepts her girlfriend. But like I said, fuck you writers that this is the only hug we saw (I say 'we saw' because I refuse to believe nothing happened in that tomb).
At the very end just as the bomb is about to explode HG and Myka share such an intense look that HG can't keep it in anymore and finally says 'I love you'. But of course since all we'll ever get is teasing they cut to showing the bomb so all we see is HG saying 'I-'
And I really am dead now.
So... what's my conclusion? It was the best fucking episode ever and the worst fucking episode ever. That's pretty much it.
I won't say how much I actually believe HG will be back but I can mention some thoughts on it.
- It's pretty clear the warehouse has to come back. The show is called Warehouse 13, not Warehouse 14. And the pocket watch Artie has will have something to do with it. And since HG was inside the warehouse bringing it back might also bring her back.
- At the end HG smelled apples. The warehouse 'oozes' apples only to the ones it really likes (wtf?). So maybe the warehouse did something that will help her return with it. I've also been thinking of a possibility that the warehouse made her an artifact in case the pocket watch can only bring back the warehouse and artifacts and not 'regular' living people.
- I don't know how simply turning back time with the pocket watch can change the situation but I'm sure that's possible. Someone mentioned how perfect it would be to bring HG Wells back with a time machine and I couldn't agree more.
- I don't want HG to become a regent. I hate the regents that much. I wish they would just go away.
- I don't believe HG could become the next Mrs. Frederic. If the warehouse comes back Mrs. Frederic comes back too. And besides, that's supposed to be Claudia's next gig.
But all in all, I don't think there is any way for us to predict what will happen. As it has been made clear, TPTB do whatever the fuck they want and it has nothing to do with what we want. I agree with the people who say they don't understand how the entertaining and light show this was supposed to be came to be so fucking dark, and how are they ever able to go back. All I know is that when the next season airs I'm finding out first what's happening before actually watching it. And no way can I get myself to watch some fluffy xmas episode in the middle.
The end.
