What did you expect or want to see happen in the season finale episode? The stuff I was expecting to happen in the finale all happened in the second-last episode instead (the taking down of the terrorist group, Henry's safe return, etc.), so the finale wasn't at all what I expected! But I loved what we got: Elizabeth being offered the role of vice-president and making the trade for Dmitri.
What other episodes from the current season did you think were the best and how did the finale compare to those episodes? I loved the first episode of the season, "The Show Must Go On." Elizabeth as president! The State Department staff bursting into song! As for which is better, how do I choose between Elizabeth as president for a few hours and Elizabeth potentially as vice-president all the time? (Assuming she takes the job, which, given the title of the show, she may not.) My other favourite this season was "Invasive ( ... )

Was there a huge surprise or cliff-hanger ending? If so speculate on what will happen next season. No cliff-hanger, but I'm really hoping that we'll see more of Dmitri next season. On the other hand, if they bring him back, they'll probably make him suffer, while if he's gone, I can imagine happy things for him. Maybe it's better if he doesn't come back. (I suppose there was a bit of a cliff-hanger in terms of Elizabeth not deciding whether or not to take the VP offer, but either way, the show will go on.)
How did this season finale compare with previous season finales? The first and second season finales were both satisfying and wrapped up some plot points very cleanly. This one was probably a little more upbeat, which was nice.
If your favorite pairing had scenes together what happened/did you enjoy the scenes? Elizabeth and Henry are my favourite pairing, and possibly my favourite television couple of all time. I've spent half the season worrying about their marriage and whether ( ... )

What did you expect or want to see happen in the season finale episode?
I really wasn't really expecting anything per say but I knew it was going to be dramatic and full of action. It was dealing with drugs and I knew that they were all going to be putting themselves in danger, I knew it was going to be intense, so I was braced for the episode.
What other episodes from the current season did you think were the best and how did the finale compare to those episodes ?
Ka 'alapahi nui- Episode 5- This episode was just really great because they all were together doing the Tough Mudder competition. I think it was less intense than the final. And the episode where Steve and Danny accidentally attend couple's therapy, which Steve thought was partner (as in work partner) therapy. It was a really great episode.

What did you expect or want to see happen in the season finale episode? I expected the final showdown between the Librarians and Prospero, of course, and that's what I got. From the preview I knew it was going to happen partly in the past, but I had no idea who that would play out.
What other episodes from the current season did you think were the best and how did the finale compare to those episodes? So unfair; I love this show and I love all the episodes. But I do especially like And What Lies Beneath The Stones, And The Infernal Contract and And The Point of Salvation because we get to see some backstory/character moments there. And the Hollow Men was great because Ray (he needs to be the Library more often!). Oh, and And The Image Of Image was pretty cool, too. (So yeah, basically all of them? Sorry.) Comparing the finale to the others... well, I have to say it didn't really feel like ( ... )

If a main character left the show or died, do you care about it? Well, this is Clara's last episode. I liked Clara - I don't love her as much as I loved Donna as a companion, but she definitely grew on me since her first appearance. I was sad to see her go, but I LOVED to see how it ended for her. Because yeah, she's dead. Her death is fixed and there's no going back... but thanks to the Timelords she has a second chance. She'll have to go back to that last second before death and be "unfrozen", but until then... she's got a TARDIS, an immortal companion and all the time in the universe to make a few stops along the way. (Look, I am and always will be bitter about how it ended for Donna, but out of the other companions Clara go the best deal, hands down. She basically got ( ... )

What did you expect or want to see happen in the season finale episode?
I don't really know what I was expecting, but I didn't not expect for D'Avin to get kidnapped/taken away from Dutch and Johnny. That was a shock to me. I believe I actually screamed at the tv LOL
What other episodes from the current season did you think were the best and how did the finale compare to those episodes ?
Kiss Kiss, Bye Bye- Where the team tries to uncover the mystery behind D'avin's missing memories where it leads them to an underground black market, D'Avin and Dutch get together but Dr. Jaegar, 'activates' D'Avin again and he tries to kill both Dutch and Johnny... I think it compared pretty well with the final because I remember yelling at the tv during this episode too LOL.
If you favorite character was in the episode, did enjoy the scenes they had?Yes, D'Avin was in the episode and he had ( ... )
