It's like they're taunting me. I've said both previous reviews that I wanted, needed and hoped Warehouse 13 would hit me with an unbelievable and captivating story. But they somehow keep jabbing instead of going for a knockout. For the third week in a row, Warehouse 13's episode score rises, but its rising at a slow rate. This episode started with a lot of promise. A mysterious hysteria in a small town in Colorado causes a fiddler to smash his instrument, a nun leaping from a building in an attempt to fly, and an elderly woman vandalize a hospital. Bering and Lattimere are soon on the scene investigating an after a series of hilarious, dramatic and impulsive twists and turns (and punches to the face), they learn that whatever artifact is in play here, its causing the townspeople to act on sub conscious impulses. They fizzle down an assortment of dead ends in searching for the source as they try and piece together the puzzle, all while Myka begins to suffer the same symptoms as the others. Meanwhile, Artie continues he's duel with the Warehouse 13 hacker (which apparently will come into play next week), but to this point has seemed like a distracting and miserable sub-plot that has kept Artie as almost exclusively a throw-away character. All in all, Warehouse 13 continues to grow, but its unsure as to whether it will be a flower or a weed. I'll be tuning in to next weeks episode, because it has had some good mysteries and interesting artifacts, but still has yet to "wow" me. This show continues to be a solid B for those who want a mystery/sci-fi/crime adventure.
