Warehouse 13: Nevermore

I have enjoyed Warehouse 13 since its first episode, but that doesn’t mean that i wasn’t able to see that there were a few rough edges to work out, and it is still not perfect but this last week felt as if they had taken a big step into what the show needs to be.

The main thing that this show had that many of the other episodes don’t is a real flesh and blood villain. It isn’t the warehouse trying to break down or some object making people into killing machines. And the second reason that I enjoyed it was that they did something that most shows aren’t willing to do, they allowed their characters to lose.

Warehouse 13 has always done a good job of weaving in historical references and while I get some since I know more about Poe than many of the other characters I got quite a few more and that served to remind me of just how good the writers are at mixing fact and fiction.

It feels to me as if the writers of Warehouse 13 stepped up this week to make a truly good show rather than a summer show I watch because there is nothing else on and with so many other shows returning I am at least as excited to see the next episode of Warehouse 13 as any of them.
