Warehouse 13; A Critic's Review

Last 2 episodes of the first season of “Warehouse 13”

“Nevermore” – Myka and Pete are trying to search out MacPherson and bring him in. But as they close in on him, MacPherson escapes their clutches. While figuring out the next move Myka gets a phone call letting her know that her father is very sick. She rushes home only to find Pete already there and what was thought of as an illness really has to do with an artifact, Poe’s notebook. It seems though that there is also a pen and it is missing. To save Myka’s father they will have to find the pen. But this isn’t a random event, MacPherson is behind it. Airing September 15 at 9pm ET/PT

“MacPherson” – The season finale has Myka and Pete more determined than ever to catch MacPherson after he went after Myka’s parents. In order to prepare the team they learn about the past and why MacPherson and Artie hate one another. When they find out that MacPherson is selling stolen artifacts from the warehouse they decide to ambush him. But it seems there is more to MacPherson’s actions than just making some money. Airing September 22 at 9pm ET/PT

I watched the first episode of this show for review and thought it needed a lot of work. The characters were typical, the jokes bad, and the whole show cliché. I did chalk it up to being a pilot and that pilot’s usually are the weakest episode as it can take a few to work out the kinks. However watching these last two episodes they didn’t work on a thing. If I could sum up this show in one word it would be predictable. You can see the jokes/insults coming from a mile away. Same with the traps and solutions needed. You almost feel like you have seen the episode before.

The actors are just not good. They try, they really do. You can just see them on screen struggling to find the right face to make to show fear or anger. But they never quite get there. And the lines that they utter in attempts to be funny are worse than what a 4th grader could come up with such as calling someone “McNutty Pants” and actually using the term “On snap”. If this show was on any other channel it would most certainly have been cancelled by this point. I just cannot see the appeal behind it at all.

But if you have become a fan throughout this season the finale will leave you with a cliffhanger wondering who is alive, dead, trapped, and what does the future hold Myka, Pete, Artie and the warehouse. If you are a fan then give these 2 episodes a B-. The D I am giving it is because of the massive faults it is has, the lack of creativity, the crappy acting, and the horrible one-liners.
