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.
