Episode Name: 3... 2... 1...
Series: Warehouse 13, Season 3
Rating: Three Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
Again, that's the actual name of the episode, not a typo or whatever.
Joshua's Trumpet has popped up again. It has been on an adventure since H.G. Wells was a Warehouse 12 agent. But now it's causing mysterious deaths. Oh, and to make things worse, someone's making the Trumpet even louder. The Warehouse 13 agents have to call on the help of H.G. Wells herself... in a holographic form (transported and shown from a holo-ball).
Will the day be saved this time...?
Mission Report:
Okay, I'm telling you this now, but the fact that they mess up and basically twist a Biblical story is MINIMAL to loosing story points. But it still ticked me off!
But this was not Warehouse 13's shining moment. The story was only decent, in both enjoyment and making. There were too many flashbacks. And there were some moments that didn't make sense. And it was only average enjoyment.
This was an okay episode that needs a lot of tweaking.

Queen For A Day
Episode Name: Queen For A Day
Series: Warehouse 13, Season 3
Rating: Three and a Third Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
A surprising visitor shows up at Leena's B&B--Pete's ex-wife Amanda! Amanda has come to tell Pete that she's marrying again, and is here to pick up her grandfather's ring. But she accidentally takes part of an Artifact with her... a bee-thing that soon causes some major trouble at Amanda's wedding, especially when Pete and Myka come to the wedding to get the Artifact back!
Meanwhile, Claudia and Steve are after U.S. Grant's flask... at a civil war reenactment. Tricky! And to add to pressure, whoever drinks from the flask thinks he or she's really fighting the civil war.
Trouble's busy as a bee today...*
Mission Review:
Hmm... not the best, but not bad either. Like Autoboot Camp**, there were two storylines, but they stayed with the most important. Wise choice! In fact, the "Flask-Reenactment" storyline seemed to me to be more of a learn-about-Steve and a Steve-and-Claudia-bonding thing. It wasn't my fave... just about average. Though I will say that the Mini Tessla (sp?) was awesome!
The "Wedding Queen Bee" storyline was much better. And they seemed to stay more with this one, and it was a good choice. It was pretty well-done, though I did not really care for the awkward scenes between Pete and Amanda. But it was pretty enjoyable... the lowest was just about average. Unluckily, there was a lot of average, though there were good moments, especially near the end (four-Spaceship enjoyment at highest).
This was a pretty good show, but could use some tweaking and isn't the most enjoyable.
*LOL!

Love Sick
Episode Name: Love Sick
Series: Warehouse 13, Season 3
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
Artie's crush, Dr. Vanessa Calder, calls for help. There's an artifact turning women into clay, killing them in the process! Artie and Claudia go to help. They discover it's a virus... a computer virus! An Artifact is somehow allowing the virus to be transferred to humans, which then causes human DNA to be altered, turning people into clay. The old Warehouse computer expert, Hugo, has to be called, and it turns out that he and Vanessa had a thing once! But things will soon get deadly, threatening Hugo and Vanessa's life!
Meanwhile, Myka and Pete wake up in bed together... Artie's bed, specifically, and looking like they did the deed! And Steve is missing! But neither Pete or Myka can remmeber what happened (or whether or not they did the deed). And Myka has gone blonde to boot! The agents have to figure out what happened... and whether or not Steve's in trouble!
Will the agents save the day... and their friends' lives?
Mission Report:
This was a good episode. Both storylines were enjoyable. And both were very well-done. And we had our mysterious new enemies in the background... dun-dun-duh...! LOL!
And they're getting clever with the new "catch-up" scenes at the beginning. Now, I've seen the series up to here, but they're helpful reminders.
Anyway, this was a very good episode.

Trials
Episode
Name: Trials
Series:
Warehouse 13, Season 3
Rating:
Three and a Half Spaceships
Mission
Briefing:
Myka’s back!
Her first mission with Pete is to investigate a bunch of weird memory losses.
These memory losses get worse and worse until death… and it’s all for murder
scene victims! That is, until Pete’s affected… and Myka’s been bugged about
something, and Pete (pre-memory-wipe) had been too…
Meanwhile,
Claudia is sent on her first official mission (with Steve tagging along). It’s
after a sickness-and-illness-transferring butcher knife... at an auction!
Questions and Awkwardness will follow as well… not to mention the knife gets
stolen!!!
Will
everything end up well with these two cases?
Mission
Report:
Hmm… just a
little better than the average episode! The juggling of the two stories was
pretty good. I like the Claudia/Steve/Artie storyline a little better. Yeah,
maybe I have something about memory-wipes. But both were pretty good, and
pretty well-done storylines. They just weren’t the most enjoyable.
But they
were still good. They were still pretty enjoyable. There were some downer
moments. But it was mostly good… average enjoyment was just the bottom level.
All in all, these episodes were pretty good, but
it was only a little bit above average enjoyment.

Mission
Briefing:
Everyone’s a
little out of whack since Myka left. A new guy is brought in… Steve Jinks, a
former ATF agent who can tell whether or not someone’s lying… after he
witnesses an Artifact-grab. His first case is with Pete, and they are figuring
mysterious deaths… that have a Shakespeare twist. They go to Myka to ask for
help. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is having some statue trouble (that came
from Warehouse 2).
Who knows
what will happen…?
Mission
Report:
Now, it’s
been a while… but it was great!
The deaths
were a little gorier and direct than I remembered, but it has been a while. But
the rest was good. It had a few funny moments, the story was well-done, and it
was pretty enjoyable. And—spoiler alert (LOL)—Myka comes back in the end! And
we have new mysterious enemies…
This was a
good episode overall, and I’m glad to say that Warehouse 13 is back! YAY!

Camikazi Kid
Episode Name: Camikazi Kid
Series: Quantum Leap, Season 1
Rating: Three and a Half Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
Sam leaps into Cam, a high-school nerd who likes to drag race in the 1960's. He discovers that he is to stop his... err... Cam's sister Cherryl (sp?) from marrying an abusive drinker. Sam is empowered by memories of his own sister, who also married an abusive drinker.
But Cherryl refuses to listen. Will Sam save the day after all...?
Mission Report:
Pretty decent story. The story was pretty well-done, though it might stand some tweaking. And it was nice to learn how Cherryl turned out... though we never get any data on the person Sam's being beforehand (annoying!).
The enjoyment... depended on the scene. Some were awkward. Some were only average enjoyment. Some were four-spaceship enjoyment. And the dancing scene with Sam and the kid was awesome! Mostly, it was average enjoyment.
Overall, this was an show with a good storyline, but only average enjoyment.

The Color Of Truth
Episode Name: The Color Of Truth
Series: Quantum Leap, Season 1
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
This time, Sam leaps in Jessie, a black man who's a chauffear (sp?)... and butler, I guess... to a rich old lady. The problem? He's way down South in 1955, when they had that whole no-whites-and-blacks-together thing going on. (how do you make an angry face emicon [sp?]?)
His duty is supposedly to make sure his boss, Miss Melody, stays alive, since the original died in a train-car accident. But his beliefs on equal rights causes trouble of his own (though I'm with him all the way!)...
Mission Report:
Yep, I've started reviewing the classic sci-fi show Quantum Leap. This is a few episodes in, however, just to give you fair warning.
It's kind of funny... the last Enterprise I saw was about basing people on their looks at well! It's kind of funny...
But doesn't overally help. While I applaud how they're trying to teach a lesson, I found most of the white people in this episode jerks. Miss Melody (not sure if I heard the name right, for warning) wasn't, to be fair. And the sheriff was... decent, but still on my no-like list. Some of the characters came close to joining Sentinel Prime in the pits...
I know it was a real time in our history, but I still don't like the idea of the whole black/white separation... or even using those terms to describe people... We have to remember the past to keep from making its mistakes, sure, but... phew! This little memo is what lost the episode points. Hey, I'm Christian, remember, and it's just plain wrong!!!
Okay, I think I derailed from reviewing. Yes, what I griped about above lost the episode many points. But it was an otherwise good show. The story was well-done, barely any glitches, and a few clever "turnabouts" on the few that were there. And it's nice to see Sam leap over something big, not small like pulling the winning Bingo number or helping finish/write the song Peggy Sue. That had been annoying in the last few episodes.
And it was cool seeing Al save the day. Now, to quote Pinky Dinky Doo and who knows how many, "Now that's something you don't see every day!" And it was kind of cool how she thought it was her husband, but we all know it was Al. Though, I might have wanted to know a little more on how she heard him, if no one else can... just personal opinion. The episode was mostly enjoyable, too, I just didn't care for the timeline that was the setting.
Overall, this was a pretty good show overall, I just didn't really care for the setting (and/or the timeline that was the setting).
