Who saw the newest holiday episode of Warehouse 13? I sure did! I was looking forward to seeing it, and i must say the storyline was very impressive, as always! What concerns me is the time line.
I mean, Fredrick's still alive? And where the heck are Steve and H.G.? It's the last episode in the season, but if this were true then explain how the warehouse hasn't blown up yet, you know?
I believe the writers wrote this in a time before Steve shows up, but after H.G. is put away. However, if this were the case, it would have to be after Myka comes back to the warehouse after she leaves, in which case Steve would have to be there.
Think about this. Pete says to Myka that she and H.G. were best buds, but we don't see H.G. in the warehouse with the other agents at the beginning of the episode. H.G.'s already gone into holograph form at this time, in which case. Since Myka leaves at the end of that episode, and Steve enters before Myka comes back, then that would mean that Steve should be there. However, he's not at the warehouse at the beginning of the episode as well, and there isn't so much of mention of him.
This could mean that it was during the time that Steve was playing double agent, except... why would everyone plan to go away for the holidays while there's an insane killer just waiting to break into the warehouse? Not to mention, they're only leaving Pete in charge while they're gone.
Oh yeah! What's the deal with that, by the way? Way too much focus on Pete this entire episode. I'm not a big fan of his character, and this didn't make him any more appealing. I wanted to see more of Myka and Claudia, freaking out over the loss of H.G. and Steve. But no... it's all about Pete this episode. I guess if you WERE a Pete fan, it would be okay, but in my opinion, this episode provides no additional content towards the issues at hand.
I want some sort of resolution to the storyline! Does Claudia bring back Steve with the metronome? What are they going to do with the warehouse being in ashes? So many things that aren't so much as addressed, it just adds confusion and frustration.
Not to say the episode was a complete failure. I love the emphasis on the subject of family. At first we see Artie refusing to go to Vegas with his friends, as Claudia denies wanting to see her brother. During the episode, Pete makes mention to Claudia that her brother isn't her only family. We see Pete making connections, such as Artie being a father figure to the girl. He also says that he's like a big brother to Claudia, and Myka's like a big sister, also referring to the fact that he and Myka are like siblings. At the end, when things go back to reality, no one is able to leave to go see their family. We see that this isn't completely true, because they're already technically a family. It was the writers intention to show the closeness of the cast, which is why i feel they left Steve and H.G. out, and had Fredrick still there. Confusing, yes. Worth it? ...maybe.
This seems like an episode that should take place in the future; once the warehouse is back, Claudia uses the metronome to bring back Fredrick, and H.G. and Steve have been remorse over and forgotten about externally. So, either the writers wrote it before and couldn't put it in because it wasn't Christmas yet, or all the next episodes are already shot and they didn't want to wait to put it in because by the time it's Christmas again, there might be new cast members which they intend to keep. Get what I'm saying?
