Episode Reviewed: Warehouse 13: Personal Effects

I would put a joke here, but the episode stole them all!

In A Nutshell:
The team races across... North Dakota (?) to find the missing artifacts from Sykes arsenal.

The Good:
Sykes' artifact stash was the last major loose end from season 3 in need of tying up, and this was probably the best way to do it. It was just a lot of fun to watch everyone scramble around looking for a bunch of artifacts at once, and most of said artifacts were pretty awesome. We also got a nice little shout out to the Dead Agent Vault. This week's guest star whose name escapes me did an awesome job in his role, and the episodes conclusion was heartwrenchingly good. The special effects were improved just enough, which was needed after last week's rather dreadful step back in the CGI department (when Grimm's CGI looks better then yours, you know something's wrong). The season's overall plot was enhanced a tad as well, which is always nice. Take all that and throw in the show's usual brand of witty, tongue-and-cheek one-liners (Artie: A jew and a black woman walk into a country club... all we need is a horse and we've got the whole joke!).

The Bad:
A couple of mistakes this week included giving our fairly sympathetic antagonist THE most cliched backstory of all time, and a couple of the jokes being cheesy to the point where you can't help but put you're hand on your face and groan (Steve: I'm gay. Female Clerk: Oh my God do you watch Revenge!)

Final Rating: 88%
