In just a few hours, Warehouse 13 comes to an end, as the last episode is aired. It is the end of an era, and -
Wait, what?
I've already seen the last episode? Before the end? What is this magic?
It is a question I often ask myself. Not because the last episode is available out there if you know how to procure it (no help from me), but because it doesn't happen all that often. Somehow, the last episodes of things - indeed, all episodes of things- are strictly kept under wraps until they are aired. And then they leap out, available to everyone who knows how to procure them (still no help from me).
Why is this? What's the secret of this strict discipline?
In theory, episodes of television series could and/or should appear long before they officially air. This is because they are recorded long before they officially air (Lost does not count). Since copying files is as easy as opening a newspaper, it stands to reason that someone should happen to get a hold of a file that will soon become an early release.
It's basic computer security. And human nature. If and when secrets are kept, someone will eventually unkeep it, and then it is loose upon the world. For all to see, as it were.
"All" being people like me. Who know how to procure such things.
And yet, it rarely happens. It happened this once, but I can scarcely remember it happening at any other times.
What's the secret? How do they do it? What sorcery is this?
Do you know?
Btw: the last episode is a good last one. Do enjoy it. It is one of the defining moments of the series. All of it.
