Warehouse 13 Season 5 Episode 1 Recap: Endless Terror (Season Premiere)

Blastr.com

"Warehouse 13" airs Mondays at 9 ET on the Syfy channel. This is it's fifth and final season (with only six episodes total). While I have watched numerous episodes previously I am not a die hard follower (so dont beat me up if I get anything wrong).

Pete goes to get Myka at the hospital. Remember she had a cancer scare last season. Is she really OK? They head to South Dakota and find Artie and Jinx trying to get back into the warehouse and through the protective shield. Thank goodness Myka actually read the manual since there is an addendum that describes a way around it. I dont blame Artie, I dont read manuals either.

Back inside, Claudia and Paracelsus are fighting. He gains control of Claudia and makes her spill her guts. Remember Paracelsus was the caretaker way back when it was Warehouse 9. He's now using all the artifacts to gain more power. Para makes a time machine and goes back to 1541.

Meanwhile the present day warehouse has been altered thanks to Paracelsus' time travel. Our gang is not affected during the time shift thanks to creative use of Louis XIV's forks. Para's face is splattered all over the place. There are Borg like sentrys on guard now. They are lead by Benedict Valda (from Warehouse 2). Lots of freaky human experimentation is being conducted (including on Artie).

Pete and Myca follow Para back to the 1500s. Lisa Da Vinci played by Rebecca Mader (the Wicked Witch from "Once Upon A Time") is there. Yeah! I squealed with delight when I saw her. She is the grand daughter of Leonardo and a warehouse agent. She's not sure what's going on since there are lots of dead bodies laying around. She finally agrees to help Pete and Myca get the upper hand. There is a helpful artifact retriever named Isabella (she's a giant purple bird). Paracelsus is bronzed again. Didnt that seem a little too easy? And I'm sure that's not the last we've seen of Valda (especially since he has one of the forks).

Favorite Quotes:

"Don't try to explain time travel. It never makes sense and it always makes my head hurt."- Pete.
"You're wasting my time Voldermort."- Claudia to Paracelsus. Good one!

Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). With only five episodes to go, there's not much time for long, drawn out plots. I'm interested to see how it all ends.
