Numb3rs Sixth Season Finale Ending

Timothy Knuth
I am a fan of the show Numb3ers and think that this show after six seasons is getting better and better. I was very disappointed with CBS as they cut short this season by 4 episodes, airing only 18 shows compared with 22.

As for myself I have really enjoyed the series, perhaps because I like math and science and I especially like shows that can demonstrate aspects of both. If this is the end of Numb3ers, which I hope not, I will greatly miss the explanation of different high level math equations and how these equations can help our lives. In looking at the ways that Charlie's character explains the concepts, he always uses every day items and gives a glimpse of how it works in everyday life and then goes to apply that concept to criminals and the nature of man.

Of all the seasons I have enjoyed this last one the most. It seemed that the writers did a really good job of working into the plot glimpses into each of the characters more so than any other season. This is what I liked about the sixth season. I enjoyed the interaction between different characters as well as the insights into each character individually.

The season finale episode felt a little rushed and I think most will agree that it was, especially since they cut 4 episodes used to wrap up the season. From the wedding to Don's character proposing and getting a yes, meaning that his relationship troubles will be coming to an end. The mystery of where Alan's character will live is brought to a close with the renovation of the garage area into a father's bachelor pad.

I was pleased to see that they brought back Larry's character before the end of this season; it was good to see him regain the role that he had in the beginning, that being always optimistic and thoughtfully encouraging. He seemed to lose that for a couple of seasons. Ever since he went on his space odyssey his personality had changed. From living at a monastery to wandering around trying redefine the meaning of life and trying to find his meaning towards life. His up beat nature was a welcome site.

If there is a season seven which seems unlikely at this point, I will miss David's character but as I told my wife they could always have him back as a visiting FBI agent working a case in Los Angeles from time to time. Or even better yet they could work into the plot a multi-agency case where David is shown video conferencing in Charlie from time to time. There are some possibilities.

It was a nice tribute to have Agent Ian Edgerton (Lou Diamond Phillips) character do a small cameo in the season finale. I have always liked the way that his character has been weaved through the entire series of shows.

I do hope that they will have a seventh season, even if it were a short one. Perhaps a half season compared to what they had this year. Personally I would love to see a few things wrapped up before the show officially ended altogether. I would like to see Don get married, and have a look at the father's bachelor pad. I think it would be great watching Larry's character work with the physicist to solve the latest FBI crimes.

Seeing that Rob Marrow (Agent Don Epps) is being cast in a new show called "The Whole Truth" does not lend well to Numb3rs continuing into a seventh season. Either way f the show is finally ending or if the show lives on for a seventh season, David Krumholtz (Charlie Epps) I thank you for solving one question that plagued me since high school. That being how does the quadratic formula apply to everyday life? I asked this question of my math teacher and was told to just memorize the formula. Your character on the show has finally given meaning to those formulas for me, many thanks.
