agree to McNamara , Syfy had revealed to them earlier in the season that they would not be go forward with another . He sound out , “ With the exception of season four into time of year five , we never knew whether or not we ’re blend to get pick up . It was always a discussion — never really about the creative — about the financials and you always know , with any show , that there ’s this sort of ok line between what it bring in and what it costs . ”

The squad then spent time judge to discover another mesh to continue the project but say none seemed like the right scene financially or creatively . The penultimate episode is a “ melodious heist , ” which Gamble call the weirdest musical instalment they ’ve done so far . “ The melodious episode is later in the time of year , it really sets the spike for a mountain of what you ’re go to see in the finale , emotionally . Every song in the melodic instalment comes out of some form of excited inside turmoil and really ride the plot and the characters forwards . So they ’re not just phone number that you could easily drop or cut . They ’re all mix into the story , ” McNamara added . “ And looking at the finale , the last sentence I watched the musical ’s cut , I ’m was like , ‘ Wow , that really feel like we were moving toward this with intent . ’ We ’re moving towards epiphany , if you will , and climax . There ’s just some incredible variety of character surprise and growth right up till I think the very last scene , it ’s pretty surprising . ”

But to put some form of punctuation at the end of the sentence of this exceptional show and the journeying we ’ve been go on with our audience for the last five season , we sense pretty good about the season closing curtain . I feel like it is very much in keeping with the spirit of the show . ”
