I found this a fun wrap up. The whole series has been enjoyable for a lot of reasons. There was some drama, some comedy and some good monsters. Plus I liked the idea of the current gang being just the latest in a long line of 4 humans and an animal solving mysteries. I also liked the way they tied that concept together.
So for the season ender we have them taking on an evil being from another dimension and the battle ends with an energy blast so large it shatters their timeline. They go back to Crystal Cove into far different lives. Fred is a star ball player and he's going to marry Daphne, his father and mother aren't evil, Daphne is actually more of an achiever than her sisters, Velma and Marcy are together, Shaggy is a award winning chef. There has never been the parade of monsters and mysteries in Crystal Cove that they've spent all their time solving.
Trouble is the lives they suddenly find themselves with aren't their lives. Without mysteries what are they supposed to do? Enter Harlan Ellison who's become so attuned to strange realities that he knows them all and invites them to Miskatonic University. So off they go.
I like they way they've sprinkled science fiction and celebrities this series. Fred's reaction to having to blow up the first Mystery Machine and Daphne's way of comforting him copied well from Star Trek the Search for Spock and what McCoy said to Kirk when he blew up the Enterprise.
In this last episode the sherrif and the mayor are married and have 3 boys, Eastwood, Billy Jack and Noris and one daughter Lynda Carter.
I don't know if they'll keep going on this but I liked the ending.

"My gosh, Shaggy, what have I done?"
"Like, what you've always done, man. Turn a way-too complicated trap into a fighting chance to unmask a spooky ghost! Zoinks!"
