Episode Reviewed: Warehouse 13: An Evil Within

Oh my God, they FINALLY brought Jimmy back from the dead! Don't let Clark find out though.

In A Nutshell:
Artifact: makes people in Philly see other people as monsters and attack them.
Meanwhile, Claudia goes rouge in her quest to bring Steve back, and Brent Spiner's character whose name escapes me confronts Artie, warning him of an evil that has been released.

The Good:
Artie and his conflicted terrifiedness, with his face or less screaming "I did the right thing but also the wrong thing and I gotta do the wrong thing to undo it! Aaahhhhhhhh!", was great, done perfectly by Saul Rubineck. Claudia's story line in this was great too. Allison Scaglioti could've done a better job with her performance, but all things considered, it was one of the episode's high points. We are seeing a lot more of where the overall story is going too, which is something I personally really enjoy, and seeing Mr. Data and Jimmy Olsen in one episode is pretty much a built in nerdgasm. Through in a bit of the show's excellent comedic banter, and you've got something good. On an unrelated note, Myka's curly hair is back, and tell me I'm not the only one that thinks it makes her more attractive somehow.

The Bad:
I'm not gonna say the artifact of the week aspect of the episode was bad, because it wasn't. It had good stuff: the monsters looked pretty cool, and Myka's tentacle-phobia was funny, but overall, this was the weakest part of the episode. It's one those times where the writers needed to kill 18 minutes of the episode AND give Pete and Myka something to do, and this was what they came up with. And yes, this wasn't as good as last week.

Final Rating: 86%
