Is it conceivable that wearing Richard Nixon's wingtips could enable you to lie without anyone knowing, while Gandhi's sandals provide their wearer with a profound sense of peace and serenity? Did you know that using Marilyn Monroe's hairbrush will turn you into a blonde, or that Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov's bell really does attract dogs? These are but a few of the revelations unearthed in the third season of Warehouse 13 (12 episodes, plus extra material and a "bonus holiday episode" at the end), SyFy's series about the intrepid agents of the very Secret Service whose mission is to "snag, bag, and tag" the bewildering array of artifacts, relics, and curios that are stored in an enormous facility located somewhere in South Dakota. Many of these artifacts--and there are enough of them to fill a space (variously known as "America's attic," "the world's junk drawer," and "the Artifact Roadshow") at least as big as the warehouse depicted in the final shot of the first Indiana Jones movie--are benign and fun. But it's the ones that "misbehave" after falling into the wrong hands, on purpose or otherwise, that must be neutralized by agents Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock), Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly), Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek), and the rest of the team, some of whom have some pretty fancy talents of their own--like new addition Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore), who has an uncanny ability to tell when someone's lying. This time out, malevolent artifacts include legendary film director Cecil B. DeMille's riding crop, which can be used to bend people's bodies to the will of whoever possesses it (a very bad thing when it falls into the hands of Anthony Michael Hall's bitter, vengeful Walter Sykes, the season's principal villain); William Shakespeare's "lost folio," which causes its victims to expire in the exact manner of some of the Bard's most famous characters; the so-called "Janus coin," an ancient Roman item that wipes out people's memories; and an amulet that, when transmitted via computer, creates a virus that turns people into clay. All of this is consistently amusing and entertaining--sometimes more so than the plot lines in which the artifacts appear, some of which involve the fate of the "Regents," who serve as the guardians of Warehouse 13 and its contents. The show is serialized, so while it ends with a major cliffhanger, the fact that there's a fourth season is good news for viewers of this delightful show. --Sam Graham

4.0 out of 5 stars All I want for Christmas is a Farnsworth and a Tesla (and maybe Cecil B. DeMille's riding crop) November 28, 2011

By H. Bala TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:DVD

This being a weird, mystifying world that we live in, don't be startled that dangerous supernatural items are scattered all over the globe, artifacts which when activated can raise hell and grief and unholy aggravation. Frequently our mere existence is jeopardized by these artifacts. Down thru the ages of man, a Warehouse has existed to store these objects, located in that era's most powerful nation, with especially-trained Warehouse agents called upon to collect and safeguard them. Today's version, the vast Warehouse 13, sprawls somewhere in the blasted nowhereness of South Dakota. And while Warehouse Agents Myka Berry and Pete Lattimer may sometimes come off as goofballs, they're exceptional at their job. Season 3 retains the lightness and goofy humor, but maybe it's so as to catch you wholly unprepared for the crushing Sturm und Drang of the closing episodes. This season tremendously hoists up the quality and pushes the actors and their characters to someplace they've not yet been.

Myka's emotional departure in the Season 2 finale has left the rest of the Warehouse 13 staff seriously gutted. In Season 3's opener, "The New Guy," time has elapsed, time enough that it's been decided to recruit a new Warehouse agent, except that everyone still misses the fudge out of Myka. But in comes the very likable ATF agent Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore) who happens to be a human lie detector. He rapidly becomes close to the Warehouse's resident geek tech support Claudia. And here's the cool thing about this episode: There's no teasing about. By the end of this episode Myka has come back to the fold. I didn't think her daytime gig of prim bookstore clerk was gonna fly for too long.

The spotlight shines brighter on the Regents, specially since the season's projected big bad - as embodied by the dangerous Anthony Michael Hall - nurses an unrelenting vendetta against them and the Warehouse. Awesomely, Kate Mulgrew plays one of the Regents and her character presents an unexpected link to an Agent. Of course, the Regents forfeit that patina of intimidation and infallibility once Walter Sykes (Hall) starts abducting them, torturing them, eliminating them. And Sykes' end game is damn diabolical, as we learn in the finale. Jaime Murray wonderfully reprises her role as H.G. Wells. And, in what looks to be a steady poaching of Star Trek actors, Jeri Ryan guest stars in the hilarious episode "Queen for a Day" and René Auberjonois also returns to impede Artie's fledgling romance. Speaking of which, I've got the back of any show that reintroduces my childhood crush Lindsay Wagner.

Absolutely there are highlight episodes. Like "3...2...1," which deepens the show's mythology. "3...2...1" features Warehouse teams from three different eras attempting to corral the fabled trumpet what blew down the walls of Jericho. This episode also marks the return of H.G. Wells, as well as of Rebecca St. Clair and Jack Secord, the two Warehouse agents/starcrossed lovers from the 1960s (from "Burnout" and "Where and When"). What we get are three interweaving threads from, respectively, 1893, 1962, and the present day. Jaime Murray is outstanding in those flashbacks to 1893, in which we see her unleash all manner of steampunk asskickery as a Warehouse 12 agent in the British Empire. Step back, Lara Croft. See this ep and wonder no more about why there's rumor of Jaime Murray getting her own Warehouse 13 spin-off series.

"Don't Hate the Player" is the crossover with EUREKA as the Warehouse agents must save Fargo who is stuck in a virtual reality game. In "Past Imperfect," Myka achieves closure when she gets a second crack at the man who murdered her former Secret Service partner. "Insatiable" is a fun story revolving around an artifact that turns people into zombies (except that Pete is somehow immune). And how does the taco truck figure into this? Meanwhile, "Love Sick" concerns Artie, Claudia, Dr. Vanessa Calder (Lindsay Wagner) and Hugo Miller (Auberjonois) trying to neutralize an artifact that transforms people into clay. But never mind that plot. This episode also finds Pete and Myka waking up in bed together, stark nekkid and stricken with amnesia.

But it's the two-part finale - "Emily Lake" and "Stand" - that kicks the chair out from under. It ties up a lot of loose ends but then creates several cliffhangers. The writers pull no punches on this one. It's a hefty roster of casualties, and you won't like that some of them what don't survive happen to be popular characters. Let's face it, in this universe, there are so many ways to get your ticket punched (even including Horrible Death by Chess Match!). I like a show that caters to tongue-in-cheek stories but then recognizes when it's time to get dark and grim and pregnant with pathos. And I like that this cast of actors gets challenged in their performances. Awesome Allison Scagliotti, the most natural actor in the series, has a field day chewing scenery. She can channel some truly raw emotions. Still, I watch this show primarily for Myka and Pete's interactions. Joanna Kelly and Eddie McClintock have got their rapport and patter down pat, but this time they also get put thru their paces. And in light of the explosive finale, I can't wait to see where Season 4 takes us. Season 4, where, hopefully, deaths are not a permanent state, there's another EUREKA crossover in store, and Allison Scagliotti sings and plays her guitar some more.

Okay, the Season 3 closer is actually the terrific Christmas episode, "The Greatest Gift." The plot - Pete activates an artifact that erases his existence - makes use of one of them tantalizing "What if?" scenarios and serves as a nod to IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. What chance is there that this holiday ep makes it into the Season 3 DVD set release?

5.0 out of 5 stars Big changes for "Americas Attic". April 14, 2012

By Otis H. McNutt

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

After almost allowing H.G. Welles to activate the Yellowstone Caldera Myka leaves the Warehouse. In her absence an new Agent Steve Jinx is added to the team. But during an investigation involving a lost Shakespeare Folio Myka rejoins Pete and Steve to get to the bottom of the mystery. But that one case is only the tip of the iceberg. Someone is out there with unimaginable resources and knowledge and it's his mission to destroy not only the Warehouse but the ruling Regents as well, including Jane who has a close relationship with one Agent in Particular. Warehouse 13 continues it's connection to fellow Syfy series Eureka as well as newcomer series Alphas.

This season features some great comedy, outstanding drama, many twists and turns and some tragedy. The finale ends in a way you won't believe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare for Laughter December 15, 2011

By Cidspimms

Any fan of Warehouse 13 will not be disappointed with this years Christmas Episode. It's heart warming and funny at the same time. Reality minus Pete being born is a hoot; check out the picture of the President behind Myka's desk in her office; this sets the pace for the laughter. I highly recommend this episode.
