Episode 11: Nevermore

This one starts in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at a bookstore with the familiar name of Bering & Sons. A delivery guy leaves a package outside the door and the store owner comes out to pick it up. We know from previous episodes that Myka’s father runs a bookstore in Colorado, so obviously this is him. (He’s played by Michael Hogan aka Tighe on Battlestar Galactica).

Episode 10:Breakdown

This one starts with Myka and Pete finishing writing up the reports of a case. I guess even the Warehouse is plagued with bureaucracy. Artie comes in to collect the reports, which he’s hand-delivering to a courier, since email isn’t secure enough. Continue reading “Warehouse 13 Reviews: Season 1, Episode 10”

Episode 9: Regrets

This one starts with a dude named Lee wandering around a club full of young people. Everything’s out of focus and he looks confused so it’s probably a dream sequence. But the dream turns into a nightmare when one of the young girls accuses Lee of killing her while driving drunk. Continue reading “Warehouse 13 Reviews: Season 1, Episode 9”

Episode 8: Duped

This one starts in media res, with Pete and Myka arguing in a hotel room and Pete trying to handcuff her. No, it’s not really wild foreplay, since Myka immediately beats the hell out of him, knocking him out. We then flash back to fourteen hours earlier at the Warehouse. Continue reading “Warehouse 13 Reviews: Season 1, Episode 8”

Episode 7: Implosion

This episode starts with Pete finding a samurai sword in the office and pretending he’s in some old zatoichi movie. Myka thinks he’s being childish, but what else are you gonna do with a samurai sword? Continue reading “Warehouse 13 Reviews: Season 1, Episode 7”

Episode 6: Burnout

This one starts in St. Louis, with Myka and Pete investigating an explosion at a police station. Myka wishes they had some time off, instead of just going from case to case. Pete notices a huge generator outside the police station and there’s another shot of a generator inside; I think this will be significant later … Chekhov’s Generator, as it were.

Episode 5: Elements

This one starts 400 years ago on the island of Manhattan. A Native American ceremony takes place, with someone intoning a prayer and setting out a stone, a bowl of water, a chunk of rock, and an arrow. The shaman says, “When he comes, let these elements be his strength and our hope” and dons a cloak that glows with magical power like Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak. Continue reading “Warehouse 13 Reviews: Season 1, Episode 5”

Episode 4: Claudia

Last episode, the Warehouse began experiencing random power outages caused by whomever hacked Artie’s computers. The unknown hacker sent Artie a message (“knock knock”) over the power grid. Artie has also been having weird flashback dreams lately, but he doesn’t know what’s prompting them or what they mean. Continue reading “Warehouse 13 Reviews: Season 1, Episode 4”

Episode 3: Magnetism

This one starts in a museum in Paris. Pete is hanging upside down, Mission Impossible-style, examining the guillotine that was used to behead Marie Antoinette. A quick scan reveals it as an artifact with occult powers, but when Pete tries to remove the blade, he drops his wrench. Continue reading “Warehouse 13 Reviews: Season 1, Episode 3”

Episode 2: Resonance

This one starts with a bank robbery in Chicago, but the thieves have a pretty wild way of dealing with bystanders and guards … they use some kind of sonic pulse to stun everyone and knock out electronic devices, including cameras; the pulse comes from speakers stitched inside one thief’s trenchcoat.
