Warehouse 13 Personal Effects Review!

Okay, here we are again. This one was not the best by a long shot but it wasn't the worst either. I now see the use of why Jinks was brought back. Everyone can be paired off now. Also liked the fact that Leena seems to be having more airtime in this season already than all the others put together...except for the that MacPherson story line but even so. Personally, I like to see Claudia and Artie together better than Jinks and Claudia but Claudinks has it's own thing going too. Hmmm. Leena and Jinks as partners could be an idea for sometime later. Maybe soon. Okay, lets really get down to the artifacts biz!

Well, it appears that we're STILL not through with Sykes and it comes to knowledge that this wheelchair bound dude was carrying a very, tiny version of a warehouse in one of his spare houses. Ugh, how many places and artifacts did this guy own? If he had that many artifacts at his disposal the warehouse and everyone should be gone now with no possibility of bringing it back?! Ugh! Actually it just a box of artifacts...THAT CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY! Pete and Myka are on the hunt! Only one little snafu. Someone has already broken into Sykes' house and stole them all. I see a major artifact treasure hunt on the way! Well sort of.

The guy in question has brought all the artifacts to a pawn shop of course. Oh, and taking into account what Pete and Claudia say later about pawn shop tv shows,  wouldn't it be so funny to watch a spoofed episode where a patron tries to sell one of these artifacts, suddenly the thing turns someone into a beast or something and the price goes way up? Well, that doesn't happen here. The pawn guy thinks it's junk and our mystery guy sells all of it except a strange white pipe which can alter the weather. Oh so that's the reason for all our strange weather here in the States! Thought it was that Walter guy from The X-Files. Well, Pete and Myka find out from a dumpy guy who loves tomatoes that our mystery man sold most of the stuff to a pawn shop. Explosion at pawn shop and now the gang's all here.

Artie makes a list of all the artifacts that were sold from the pawn shop, tears off pieces it, and gives them to all three pairs. Pete and Myka on the pipe trail, Claudia and Jinks on the sunglasses, bird cage, and waffle iron trail, and Artie and Leena on the violin and golf clubs trail. I sort of like that we have three separate story lines going for this episode and sort of didn't. It can be kind of complicated if you don't hang onto every piece of info that we're given. Again I really didn't like the main artifact story. The pipe was too much of an already done story line from other tv shows. Like that X-Files episode I mentioned earlier. Out of all of these artifacts the best ones were the golf club because that one moved the ongoing plot of this season forward and the bird cage one which also moved the main story forward. I'm a little worried about that. Not too much yet but just a little. The main story is great but the smaller story lines need to be at least almost as interesting and so far they haven't come close in this season.

Jinks and Claudia go after invisible sunglasses man and have a few jokes thrown in while they're doing it. The   Ghostbusters line from Claudia and the Revenge quip from the store lady was cute. Who actually watches Revenge anyway?! Sadly, not me. Sorry to all those Revenge fans out there! If I'm not mistaken Jinks is hit in the shoulder by "Hollow Man" before they catch him. Claudia complains a little about her arm. UH OH! SIDE EFFECT!  Later Claudinks go after the bird cage with some strained comic effect and Claudia feels Jinks' bird attack! Creepy! Are we going to see a future Jinks all icky and bloody but feeling just fine while Claudia is down for the count in some hospital?! That's could be interesting. I don't know how yet but could that stuff with Claudia stabbing Artie with the dagger somehow be connected to keeping Jinks and herself alive? How far would she really go? Would she kill one friend to save another? As Artie once said she shouldn't go down that path!

Artie and Leena go after a violin and get out of an awkward situation by saying they're from disease control or something. "Wash  your hands." lol! Artie's other joke here is walking a fine line. Later they go after a gold club that brings out anger in whoever holds it. This was interesting because Artie lets some things slip when he has his hands on it! Poor Artie. He wants so bad to tell people but that's exactly what he was told not to do? We're always wanting to do exactly what we're told not to do? Hmmm. Could that be some reverse psychology our friend Data is working on our lovely Artie? Leena is worried and Artie of course quickly shrugs it off once the artifact is deactivated.

Meanwhile, after a mishap with a bank truck, Pete and Myka follow Pipe Guy to the hospital and we find out Pipe Guy has a little brother with a heart infection. He stole money from a bank so the hospital could perform surgery on his brother. He kidnaps Dr. Mom From E. T. the Extraterrestrial up to the roof of the hospital and tries to take hospital and all to the Land of Oz! Too late for surgery for his brother he needs a heart that's "a complete match" but of course Pipe Guy's  not listening. A little invisible action from the Pete the sunglasses wearer and some quick thinking from Myka because Pete almost screws it up of course and at least the weather crisis is averted. Myka finally pushes the message through the Weather Boy's thick skull about his brother and what does he do next? He grabs the pipe one more time and kills himself so his brother can take his heart and live. Now, who saw this coming a mile away?! Another predictable ending. Ugh. Later, Claudia, Jinks, Myka and Pete go after the last artifact on the list, the waffle iron but sadly the camera guy is left behind during this adventure. Darn! We're all missing out! Who else wanted some waffle action?

Back at the warehouse Artie secretly calls some stranger to help him find an artifact "before it finds him." What could that be? The Dagger of course!

Oh, and isn't Trailer the smartest and cutest dog EVER?! :D The End and onto to next week!
