Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Spine of the Saracen is possibly the Warehouse 13 version of Stargate SG-1 (1997) "upgrades". Very like effects on the body when worn for a certain amount of time.
- GoofsIn the exterior shot of the "St. Louis" police station, when Myka is going into the building, we pan across a view of the skyline in the background, in which the CN Tower in Toronto is clearly visible in the left background. St. Louis has no similar building.
- Quotes
Pete Lattimer: Ma'am, you know more than you're saying.
Rebecca St. Clair: Okay, let's cut to the chase, shall we? You didn't come in from D.C. The unexplained electrocutions raised a flag. You found Jack and you finally figured out there was an artifact. You're from South Dakota, right?
[Pete leans back with a subtle sigh]
Rebecca St. Clair: This artifact Jack was hunting for before he disappeared... It's active again. Am I correct?
Pete Lattimer: You weren't just his girlfriend.
[Rebecca smiles]
Myka Bering: You're a warehouse agent.
Rebecca St. Clair: Welcome to the conversation.

Well, maybe there's a little rocket science tossed in to the mix, every now and then !! And speaking of mix, Allison S. in her role of Claudia Donovan has now become an established -- and most probably quite irreplaceable -- member of the Warehouse 13 team. And that is also really OK.
What makes it OK is that the writers have found subtle ways to use the Claudia character to spark creative thoughts in Artie ( Saul Rubinek ), thus making her into a problem-solver where she was a trouble-maker. This is a brilliant move which adds a nice touch of spice to the grumpy but genial persona which has been created by Rubinek for his role.
And so, again, the creators have introduced a crucial new relationship into the Warehouse mix thus making the team into a new Gang Of Four. The plot for "Burnout" has less comedy and more action than what has been presented in some previous episodes, and yet it seems wholly and completely natural to the storyline. That's another indication of how brilliant and yet subtle this newest SyFy series really is.
Moreover, the creative team condenses all of these relationships which are blooming between the Gang into the forty-odd minutes of actual story time which are alloted. Although there is no sense of the story being adrenaline fueled, it is supercharged, as the pacing is fast and organic to the story itself. And the artifact sought in this most recent episode is one hundred per cent scary, as in panic-inducing.
Some of us are even warming up to Myka, Joanne Kelly, the otherwise stone-cold brainiac Secret Service agent, and that's another plus for the team.
