Numb3rs

It appears that it's the end of an era for Friday night television. Numb3rs has run it's course and doesn't appear likely to be renewed for a 7th season but tonight's episode gives us some resolution for each of the characters.

Charlie and Amita get married and move to England, Don asks his girlfriend to marry him, Larry will continue to help the FBI, and David gets reassigned to Washington. All the characters are handled well and we don't get the sense that plot threads are still dangling but at the same time we see that these characters still have a lot in their future.

Being someone who has always had an interest in Math and the Sciences and how they can be applied to the everyday world, I loved that there was a TV show that made these things look fun and interesting. In fact I have always said that the very fact that the universe is rational and has set, discoverable, repeatable laws is the strongest evidence of the existence of a rational, orderly Creator. That if this universe was the product of chance it would be far more chaotic than it is. Even though Numb3rs rarely dealt with the Divine, every time Charlie would rattle off one of his explanations on how his math worked I saw it as an indirect testimony to the invisible God who made that math possible.
