Warehouse 13 Season 2
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I have watched most of this season and the later seasons previously, many times.Seeing the season in sequence gives me the shows that I missed out on when they were shown on tv in a mixed up order.Also, of the ones I have preciously seen, some elements were edited out possibly due to “time constraints”.
So, the best reason to have watched this season in order is to have the later references made clearer. The characters are eminently watchable in multiple watches of episodes I know. It also gives me some understanding of the significant background development of the later seasons. Season two is definitely a treat to re-watch. The characters have a lot of depth, and the detail in each episode adds up to a show of high quality.The connections between each character and indeed characters, makes the show a great watch with the detail in season one and this season, season two.Like other shows with this level of quality, the story detail makes use of the traits in each character. I still like HG a lot, since she is such a detailed and complex character, as is the mysterious Mrs Frederic .None of the main characters lack depth, and so the complexity of each character is given the same degree of exposition as the episode story and the overall story.Good to see some excellent cameos that get repeated in later seasons in some cases.You could have a whole book on the development of the characters, so thats part of the reason I have enjoyed going back to re-watch these seasons.Very well paced with an eye for detail that makes re-viewing a lot of fun to try and spot what you missed ( or what was edited out).The well cast characters bring much to their respective characters, and the FX in each show adds to the very good performances.The mythology and mystique is brilliantly performed, and it all comes out in such an involving fashion.

I really enjoyed the first season, and this one is even better. Here’s a review of the episodes, with synopsizes from the box.
13. Time Will Tell: Picking up where season 1 left off, Pete and Myka must unravel the mystery of Claudia’s disappearance, investigate the mystery of the missing prisoner Helena G. Wells and grapple with the threat of a new villain. A great start to the season. A
14. Mild Mannered: A masked vigilante is cleaning the streets of Detroit, but when the artifact that grants him amazing superpowers threatens to destroy him and the city, Pete and Myka come to the rescue. An excellent episode that is sure to be a winner among comic book fans like myself. A+
15. Beyond Our Control: The team turns to the inventor of TV, Philo T. Farnsworth, for help when a lost artifact leads them to the middle of a B-movie meltdown complete with cowboys, gladiators and robots! A very fun episode that introduces love interests for both Pete and Claudia. A+
16. Age Before Beauty: Pete and Myka go undercover in the glamourous world of high fashion to discover who – and what – is behind the mystery of young supermodels aging 50 years overnight. Another excellent episode. A+
17. 13.1: Eureka’s Fargo pays a visit to the Warehouse from Global Dynamics to upgrade its computers, accidentally unleashing a long-lurking threat within the system. The crossover with Eureka was everything I hoped it would be. A+
18. Around The Bend: Tensions rise within the team when Mrs. Frederic assigns Pete a top-secret solo mission – to smoke out a possible traitor. This is my least favorite episode of the season, but it’s not bad. B
19. For the Team: Myka and Claudia are shocked when Helena comes to their aid during an investigation into mysterious deaths on a college wrestling team. Pete plays caretaker when Artie gets sick. Another excellent episode. A+
20. Merge With Caution: The agents’ hopes for a normal weekend – Pete with his girlfriend, Myka at her high school reunion – are dashed by an artifact. Claudia uncovers a new side to Artie while on a mission. One of the best body-swapping episodes I have seen. A-
21. Vendetta: The team track’s a serial killer – who’s using artifacts from Artie’s past – to Russia, with Helena lending her assistance. Meanwhile, Claudia unearths some disturbing truths from Todd’s past. Yet another excellent episode. A+
22. Where and When: Using Helena’s time machine, Pete and Myka travel back to 1961 to reopen an unsolved case involving an artifact that turns its victims – all of them women – into glass. This is a very interesting episode, with one of the best endings. A+
23. Buried: Pete, Myka and Helena race to Warehouse 2 in Egypt to help save Mrs. Frederic from a mysterious illness. Meanwhile, Claudia must confront a hard truth and make an impossible choice. An excellent episode with some shocking moments. A+
24. Reset: The team races to stop a new threat from an artifact with far more destructive powers than they imagined, putting Pete’s love for Kelly to the test and making Myka question her future. This is an excellent season finale. A+
This really is much better than the first season. 3 quarters of the episodes consist of A+ classics and the other quarter is not bad at all. In fact, the worst thing about this set is that it doesn’t have the Christmas episode Secret Santa, but since it’s on the next set I will not dock any points. If you bought or have seen season 1, you need to buy this. Even though I enjoyed the first season, this is a definite improvement. I really look forward to the next season.

Loved season 2. Lots of drama and mystery. The only thing I did not like was that it seemed to be going down the road of 24, where there is always some mole or bad guy in the fold. That just bothered me to no end with 24. But thankfully, that was just a clever plot twist with Warehouse 13. I love the greater detail about Leena. Love seeing more of Claudia who is a pretty cool kid, and nice way to bring in a wider audience. I love the interaction between experience and youth/vitality. This show really accentuates the importance of building a diversely aged and experienced team to garner all those benefits. Finally, what will happen with Pete and Myka? They seem so different, but work together well. And what is going on with this HG Wells person? Lots of good stuff here in season 2. solid 5/5 rating. Enjoy.
