Last week’s brilliant black and white noir episode brought panache and style along with an amazing duo of guest stars. It also brought Artie back into active, if reckless duty…. This week, we return to our regular agent pairings and Las Vegas versus New England cases for our favorite artifact finders.
This week, we’re back to regular pairings, and to a good end, signaling a return to what folks who work in the warehouse call “normalcy.” This much anticipated episode, titled “The Big Snag,” has a delightful double entendre that deals with both Pete and Myka’s case, as well as Claudia, Jinks, and Artie’s (yes, he’s gone active this episode) case.
This week Warehouse 13 leaves much of its darkness behind, bringing forth some snappy Pete humor, as well as bucketloads of feels condensed into two significant, magical moments. Saul Rubinek and Aaron Ashmore killed it, as did Eddie McClintock. It was also nice shaking up the usual agent pairings, bringing a needed equilibrium with recent happenings.
Pete, because quiet reflection is not his gig, comments “Right. You know, it’s always ultimately death. I mean, artifacts never release a plague of tickles, or an epidemic of kittens.” How the cast manages to keep a straight face for that take is beyond me.
