Thanks for making the late reply, I'm glad you came back to this post for it :)
I didn't expect to fall in love with W13 as much as I did, but it was so cute! So shamelessly goofy and yet so sincere in its characters. --also so sincere in its h/c; one of the main characters was in peril in pretty much every single episode, at least for a bit! I loved the whole cast - I didn't have a favorite (though Artie was my spirit animal - one of the few fictional characters I've seen more pessimistic than me! XD) but yes, Pete was a really interesting variation on that character type. (And I will always love his reaction to finding out Jinx is gay - "Oh, finally, someone to appreciate this! *strips off shirt*")
This season was a mixed bag for me, but I really loved the finale, other than the Pete/Myka - it was a great send-off, perfectly in spirit. And while I'm a bit sulky about making it go romantic, in the end, yeah, it was light enough I can edit around it in my head - the advantage of being a fanfic'er! Also, YES, I wanted them to have and raise a platonic love-child together SO BADLY - I didn't realize how much until Pete suggested it, but really, yes, that would've been the ultimate 'happy ending' for me - to take their partnership that far and not have it be romantic, awwww. In my head, this is what happens. --And HG comes back because, come on, Myka/HG is written in the stars! XD
I wish there was more goofy sf, yes! There are some shows in other genres that have a similar feel (if you haven't seen it, Brooklyn 99 is hilarious but also outrageously adorable in its team dynamics) but scifi is always where my heart is...of course right now there's practically no actual sf on TV at all; lots of fantasy, but while I enjoy that, it's not the same...
