Warehouse 13: Season 4

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Terrific series when it first ran. Great to see both repeat and additional episodes that are either new or missed before.
This series departed from the old, boring carbon copy main plot of most series, and produced enough unique twists and turns to make viewing both entertaining and in some ways rewarding.

For examples: A) by including historical events in many cases, but with a slightly different viewpoint, it sometimes makes the viewer ponder whether all historical findings are really as complete and accurate as we all tend to regard them. It also uses several recent reversals of long held scientific theory as part of some episodes, reminding the thinking viewer that science is not cut and dried absolute fact, but simply the best theory we have with our limited skills, viewpoint and knowledge to date, always subject to new revelations and change.

We wish that the series had been able to continue longer on free or standard TV/Cable/Satellite channels. It certainly was better than most of endless carbon copy fare that is on nearly every channel currently.

Season 4 was definitely a downgrade from previous seasons and if you juxtapose it to Season 1, the differences are stark. The acting is fine: I have no qualms with the cast. They have done the best with what they were given. The problem is, they were not given very much to work with. The writing this season was pretty bad.

In most series, as time goes on the characterization goes from shallow to deep; from stereotype to individual. Not in season 4. Pete reverts to a caricature of himself, Artie loses it, there is NO WAY Claudia would ever get named Caretaker – she is too reckless and stupid. The list goes on. Plot holes, fall backs on deus ex machina, actions and reactions inconsistent with the rest of the seasons….. Too bad. I truly liked the series.

Lesson to SyFy: When you find good writers, PAY THEM!

I’m a science fiction fan. A BIG science fiction fan. Warehouse 13 is GOOD science fiction produced by the SciFi Channel. Unlike their B &C grade movies however, ‘Warehouse 13’ is engaging, humorous and interesting. Many of the stories are tied together into the fabric of a larger story. The story of the Warehouse. Warehouse 13 is a storage facility for ‘Artifacts’ that have seemingly supernatural powers. The powers can do things for good or evil, but even what seems good at first will eventually end up with a negative impact.

The Warehouse employs ‘Agents’ to track, bag and tag artifacts to be stored away in the Warehouse. Once stored, artifacts are never to see the light of day again. The real story is in the lives of the agents Myka, Pete, Artie, Claudia and Steve and their interpersonal relationships. Warehouse 13 has something for everyone, drama, comedy, pathos and an interesting story line. I watched the show in it’s entirety during it’s SyFy Channel run. It’e even better on Amazon Instant Video since there are no commercials to endure. My wife and I tend to binge Warehouse 13 since we’re Amazon Prime members and the first four seasons are free.

The best thing you can do right now is to stop reading the ravings of a couch potato lunatic and start watching ‘Warehouse 13’!
