Warehouse 13
by Jane Espenson and D. Brent Mote
The secret service does more than just protect the president: Agents Myka Bering and
Peter Lattimer (under the guidance of Artie, not to mention the help of girl genius
sidekick Claudia and slightly psychic landlord Leena) also gather and protect remarkable
scientific artifacts from throughout history. H.G. Wells shows up at the start of
season 2, but time travel didn’t appear until episode 10 of that season, when Myka
and Pete head to 1961. Later, in the first episode of season 4, after the
deaths of all and sundry (not to mention the demolition of the warehouse), Artie goes
back in time again (at great expense to himself). I was expecting more time travel in
season 5 and was not disappointed when our favorite agents follow the evil
Paracelsus back to 1541 (“Endless Terror”) to prevent the creation of a warehouse of
horrible human experimentation; plus there’s a smidgen of 1942 time travel in the mushy
(in a good way) series finale.
Pete: I’m not gonna remember. . .
Artie: Remember what?
Pete: Remember dying.
Artie: No. No, Pete, you won’t remember. [Pete dies.] But I will. . ., I will.
