That's. . . . actually kinda intriguing. Pete, Myka and H.G. together forever! #PykaH! (I just had to do that, sorry!)

In all seriousness, I think the biggest reason Pete and Myka don't make complete sense, at least in my head, is simply the lack of time we saw the transition. Think about it: Season 5 sounded like it was going to be that transition. You could see it vaguely beforehand, but this was going to be the time we would see it. The anger Myka felt at having deeper feelings for Pete (perhaps she is also torn between Pete and H.G. as well, making it even worse for her?), and Pete. . . . trying to determine if Myka is indeed the one for him, I guess? Or whether he likes her more than cookies.

That would have been at least seven additional episodes, assuming they didn't pull another Season 4 and make it twenty episodes (in which case, add seven more on top of that), to showcase the transition of Pete and Myka's relationship to something more. I'm not UNHAPPY with what we got, don't get me wrong. I think they did the best they could to get to the result they wanted (or at least most of the way there, depending on where your goalpost is at) in the six episodes they had to wrap things up. That being said, it would have been nice to see more of that transition so that it added up better. It also might have worked better (as difficult as it is in the world of the Warehouse) to have started it earlier, perhaps in Season 3 (which actually might have made sense - Myka and H.G. were a possible couple, but the feelings of betrayal that Myka felt from H.G. at the end of Season 2 might have pushed her towards Pete, knowingly or not, and it's even an interesting point that could have been covered later in the season in an argument or something. This would have also given them a lot more time for transition and goofy banter which would evolve over time.

As for canon-affecting, that's a two-edge sword. We don't truly know where all of the characters ended aside from Claudia, and the only idea we have to go on is that Pete and Myka were together (at least in the dating sense) by the end of the fifth season; we don't know if it lasted, or for how long. I've seen fanfictions with Legend of Korra that go everywhere: Korra and Asami (I think I got the name right; it's been awhile since I saw it) break up because Korra can't hold a relationship and being the Avatar, Korra and Asami live happily ever after, Korra goes evil after Asami is killed, Korra ends up falling in love with a spirit, their trip was only one of friends and not two people in love because they are actually in love with other girls, etc.

When you end a series in this sort of manner, especially if you have nothing after it (I think Legend of Korra got some comics dealing with the aftermath of Book 4 and their relationship), all you have are assumptions. We ASSUME Pete and Myka worked out because that's how the show ended it. It's a matter of keeping with the vague ending of a show verses continuing the universe. Anything can happen after the show ends; Myka and Pete could be whammied and have all feelings of love removed, or have you lose feelings of love to the person you love most, Pete, Myka and H.G. could get together, Myka might dump Pete for looking at another girl and go back to H.G., etc.

I'm of the opinion that, as long as we respect the series and its characters, we can adapt it to how we think the story should go. That being said, it might be best to have a vote on something like that so that there aren't any hard feelings because we all have a different opinion on how it should go.
