The Secret Saturdays Finale

On January 31, 2010, in Fandom, The Secret Saturdays, by Bill

Last night, Cartoon Network aired what may have been the series finale for “The Secret Saturdays.” If it was, I want to say out loud that the producers did a wonderful job tying up all of story threads and left the viewer feeling complete.  If it wasn’t, I just don’t know how you match, let alone exceed what was broadcasted last night.

Drew Saturday War of the Cryptids_0002 Every character stayed in character, especially Drew Saturday, whose whining about things being dangerous for her “baby boy,” Zak,  frankly got on my nerves. But in time,I came to understand Drew because she’d lost her parents when she was five and her protectiveness of her family was in reaction to that lost.

The episode, “The War of the Cryptids” found Drew and her brother getting closure on the deaths of their parents after 27 years; Zak coming to grips with his Kur powers and Argost discovering the true cost of achieving his dream.  The Saturdays in "The Legion of Garuda"

What I really found interesting was that every character introduced in this series had a purpose for introduction and contributed to the outcome of the finale.  Let me say that again, every character introduced, whether in season one or in the next to the last episode had a purpose.  There are not a lot of series that could say that. 

This was a series that I enjoyed more than any other cartoon series I’ve ever watched and that includes Justice League.  It was complete. Yes, I’d like another season, but it’s okay if it doesn’t happen.  This series has been that good.
