Warehouse 13/YMMV

• Accidental Innuendo: Pete invites Claudia, Myka, and Leena to watch movies with him in his room and mentions his big flat screen TV. He also happens to be in his pajamas.
  • Averted in the escape from Warehouse 2 with a handwave. Even though Myka finds the wings of Daedalus and Pete makes a good argument, it's plainly clear that having Pete piggyback ride on Myka's back would look... interesting.
• Alas, Poor Villain: When MacPherson is dying, and Artie tells him that death may not be so bad after all, MacPherson apologizes for everything he's done.
  • Also, HG Wells' death, although by then she'd undergone a full Heel Face Turn
• Complete Monster: Winston. Big time.
  • Walter Sykes is a Bad Boss who kills indiscriminately, whether his underlings mess up or not, with a vendetta against the Warehouse that leads to the deaths of at least seven regents (via torture), Steve Jinks, HG Wells, and Mrs. Frederic and the destruction of the entire Warehouse. Some fans think death by Portal Cut was too easy an out for him.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: The use of "The Ritual" from "Amok Time" played during the climatic battle in "Don't Hate The Player".
• Fridge Logic: In the finale episode of season 3, why didn't HG just put the force field around the bomb when it was clearly stated it can contain the blast?
  • One of the producers said on Twitter that H.G. couldn't have known if the force field would hold when it was directly over the bomb. When you think of it that way, a blast that big in that confined of an area probably wouldn't be a good idea.
• Lighter and Softer: When compared to... that other thing...
  • Most of the time. "The 40th Floor" had many graphic deaths, and a large helping of torture.
• Les Yay: Between Myka and HG Wells. Pete even comments that it's like having two Mykas around. Confirmed by the actresses that they were playing it a little bit like they 'were in love'.
• Like You Would Really Do It: Myka quitting at the end of season 2. Sorry, Warehouse 13, we've done this dance before with Eureka. You're not going to do it.
  • She reappears, without explanation, in the Christmas Episode.
    • Word of God is that the Christmas Episode is set out of sequence, between "Merge With Caution" and "Vendetta." (Though one wonders where all that snow went so fast...)
      • No doubt the Christmas Episode was simply delayed to air during Christmas season, anyway.
  • The jury is obviously still out on this, but Aaron Ashmore has been hired to play Myka's replacement in Season 3. Whether or not it takes, though, is obviously up in the air for now.
    • In the first episode of season 3, she comes back at the end, after helping out with the investigation which just happens to feature a Myka Plot Tailored to the Party. Looks like Jinks is staying for a while at least maybe.
  • Ok, Syfy. You killed Artie in the first season finale, but you brought him back to life with the Phoenix. You sent Myka away in the second season finale, but you arranged for her to come back in the next episode. Now you are asking us to believe that you killed an agent, HG Wells, and Mrs. Frederic, and in addition destroyed the very thing that the show is named after? Sorry, but we don't buy it.
    • They have the means of bringing one person back to life with the metronome, not to mention that the last moment of the season is an The End - or Is It?, with an artifact being pulled out.
• Magnificent Bastard: One per season; it seems to be a requirement to be the Big Bad on this show.
• Moral Event Horizon: Jinks sees Mrs. Frederick's torture of Sally Sikowski as this for the Warehouse. Your Mileage May Vary.
  • May have been an act, since it turns out that Jenks is later revealed to be infiltrating Sykes organization for the Warehouse.
• Narm: "I'm the Epic Fail!" said by Claudia while wangsting about her guilt over her lost brother.
• Paranoia Fuel: Is that classic book you're reading fiction, or is it inspired by a very real and very evil person that lived at the time?
  • And this could even lead to possible Fridge Horror and What an Idiot! moments when one considers how some of these artifacts were used. Obviously, P.T. Barnum really was a total Jerkass and in it for the money when he used an artifact (that could enlarge body parts and internal organs) to make freaks out of normal people...
• Restored My Faith in Humanity: Never explicitly stated, but Myka appears to do this for H.G. Wells. It is through their relationship that she is brought back from the brink of trying to unleash a weapon of mass destruction on humanity to the point where on more than one occasion she is prepared to give her life to save the Warehouse and those inside.
• Squick: In "Vendetta," a set of chains used in the people-stretching racks employed by the Spanish Inquisition has the power to replicate those effects when stretched taut. The viewer gets treated to a surprisingly graphic scene where Dickinson is killed with it, complete with bone-cracking noises as his fingers and legs contort to unnatural angles.
• Tear Jerker: Claudia's reaction to Steve Jinks' death.
  • H.G. Wells death, especially "I smell apples".
• What an Idiot!: H.G. Wells asks about MacPherson's necklace, and he tells her that it's keeping him alive.
• The Woobie: Pete in "Trial" after his memory gets erased. When Myka is about to confront Eric's mother, you just want to hug him and make him feel better.
• The Untwist: Yeah, Jinks is a traitor. Okay. Sure. We believe you.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: H.G. Wells. The murder of her daughter was her Start of Darkness, convincing her that Humans Are the Real Monsters. After being bronzed for a century and finding that little has changed in that regard, she decides the logical path is to start another ice age and hope the humans clean up their act after most of them die.
  • Also Walter Sykes. He's an asshole, but it all started because he was in a wheelchair and he got a bracelet that let him walk again...and turned him evil. Then Jane took his bracelet away, meaning he couldn't walk anymore...but he was still evil.
