Snag it. Bag it. Tag it.
What could be better than watching two Secret Service agents hunt down a 19-year-old hacker/computer extraordinaire in a never-ending warehouse filled with historical objects that are somewhat murderous? Absolutely nothing. Did I mention that the hacker accidently broke said warehouse so it’s going to explode and kill everyone inside? No? Oh, that’s my bad. Also, their boss is off discussing his possible future and how the team is going to take down a madman who wants all of these “artifacts” loose in the world. And this is a calm episode.
Warehouse 13 is nothing if not exciting.
I think that “Breakdown” (episode 10 of the first season) is the perfect way to break into this tv show. It depicts dynamics between the team that aren’t really seen before. Claudia (the 19-year-old super genius hacker) is still pretty fresh to the show, being on it for only five episodes at this point, but she was almost always seen with Artie (the boss who knows just about everything when it comes to history and code breaking). Myka (SS agent 1 who’s super observant) and Pete (SS agent 2 who gets gut feelings) are partners and always seen on away missions. Watching these three interact just sets viewers up for the rest of the show. They have a distinct relationship that shifts from coworkers to siblings almost flawlessly.
There are a few moments that are confusing if it’s your first time watching the show, primarily with Artie and why a group of average people are interrogating him. Just so you know, first time viewers, we were all confused with that part too. The only part of that that actually made any sense was when the Regents talked about Macpherson, and that’s only because we had seen him three episodes earlier. This part of the episode is supposed to be confusing even for regular watchers because it’s up in the air as to whether or not Artie is going to be keeping his job.
Otherwise, this is the episode I start all of my friends on. It’s the episode I forced my parents and sister to watch, and all three of them love this show just as much as I do. This is easily one of my favorite episodes from the entire five-season show because it shows the silliness of a day in the life of a Warehouse 13 agent. How often will we encounter self-propelling dodge balls that multiply upon impact or a Bed and Breakfast that doesn’t let its residents leave? These are the happier types of artifacts that Pete, Myka, and Claudia face and conquer every day. There are other things, like Sylvia Plath’s typewriter, that aren’t so friendly and are extremely deadly.
I strongly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys history, humor, or crime shows. If you do choose to watch this show, watch “Breakdown” before you watch the pilot. “Breakdown” is a better representation as to what this show is and the type of humor it has. Warehouse 13 is a show that is dear to me, with characters that are human and relatable even if they are geniuses and Secret Service agents.
So have fun current and future Warehouse 13 agents. Don’t forget your Tesla and Farnsworth, as well as some Neutralizer and a few Electromagnetic bags on your latest mission. Always remember: “Snag it. Bag it. Tag it.”
