Warehouse 13

Warehouse13 is back on the air. Pete (Eddie McClintock and Myka (Joanne Kelly) are great as a team. Solid writing and plot. Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) and Atrie's (Saul Rubinek) relationship as always is fun to listen to and watch.
Brother Adrian, (Brent Spiner), the enigmatic leader of a clandestine organization called the Brotherhood of the Knights of the Black Diamond, connected is someway to the Knights Templar. Brother Adrian arrives on the scene while Artie and Claudia art trying to recover Magellan's sextant so they can restore "Warehouse 13" destroyed in the third-season finale.

For you neophytes Warehouse 13 is a government-run repository of supernatural, historically and/or mythological artifacts. During the destruction several members of the Warehouse 13 team killed.

The survivors include Secret Service Agents Myka Bering and Pete Lattimer as well as their boss, Artie Nielsen, along with Claudia and and Lena (Genelle Williams) Pete, Myka, Atrtie and Claudia contemplate utilizing a particularly powerful artifact to rewrite history and restore things to the way they were. The four take off with less than 24 hours to complete their quest.  Having the team picked off one at a time so Artie has to bear the burden of Brother Adrian's dire pronouncement is a great plot twist. Brother Adrian also wants that artifact, though, his reasons aren't clear, yet.

The cast has great on screen chemistry. The writing is solid and stories well plotted and executed.
I have to say Bernt Spiner (Star Trek's, Data) is a favorite of mine. I always tuned in to if the writer's of Star Trek TNG were going to twist Data personality and how they would do it. I lost count (53 three personality changes was my last) of how many times they messed with Data's mind. One episode displayed Spiner talent when he played three parts on screen at the same time, Data, his father Doctor Noonien Soong, and Data's evil Brother Lore.
