4×01 WH13 liveblog

The flashback memory of the grappler with the you can owe me one and then the sequence with the meeting with the saving and the flying – so fucking rude I tell you!!! We’re not even 30 seconds in and I’m dead.

The tears in Myka‘s eyes and how she is obviously trying to hold it all together, such a bite in her voice and then when she thought that HG could be saved it was like flicking a switch and then she was almost pleading saying “if we ever needed an artifacts magic now would be the time” and that is of course what HG thought about the death of her daughter. All this endless wonder and it couldn’t save her.

I think I’m actually finally going to do it. I’m actually finally going to watch 4×01 of Warehouse 13. Let me just check…

December 9th 2018

so that’s what 9 months? It has been about 9 months since I watched the season 3 finale and was so emotionally compromised by Bering and Wells I couldn’t bear to watch what happened afterwards. (I have heard that it did not, shall we say, go well). I didn’t watch though because I didn’t think I could take it.

HG sacrificed herself, it was like a redemption via death if you want to get all TV Tropes about it regarding the Warehouse BUT really it was for Myka, and Myka knew that, knew that the love of her life died to save her.

Oh man I’m getting emotional again. I just couldn’t bear to see how Myka reacted because however the writers chose to play it I would probably be destroyed (I can work with very little and extract meaning from a stone when it comes to my OTP’s).

I will try and contain my liveblog to one rambling post buuuut it is definitely going to be a thing because I will have so many feelings, oh so many feels.

In somewhat related news, I might be getting a new phone in a couple of months and I went looking on RedBubble and found an awesome Bering and Wells phone case.

Oh man ok *deep breath* here goes…

You know what guys I’m going to waffle, I feel like waffling and I’m not even sorry.

Bering and Wells!

I just rewatched all their season 2 episodes as I’m still shook after the season 3 finale and haven’t summoned up enough courage to watch season 4 yet.

I just love them! Sorry, not sorry, because look at them ^^ come on just look and tell me they aren’t extremely shippable. I rewatched this very episode last night, Buried and ahhhhhh zomg it just made me want all the AU’s all of them!

Like not even just archaeologists Bering and Wells going around like that ^^ but but like bodyguard!AU’s where Myka is hired to guard CEO HG or timetravel!AU’s (can you imagine Myka at Warehouse 12?!?) or just go crazy with all the fanfic cliches like coffeeshop!AU with Myka as the waitress and HG who looks like a put-together businesswoman but is actually a chaotic mess. Arranged marriage!AU? HG is too intelligent, always running around doing things, so her dad decides she needs a husband to control her, enter soldier!Myka who did a Mulan to get into the army.

Or or fake dating! Myka is much too busy to date and panics when her parents come to town so she grabs her friend and colleague HG and says they are together, HG seamlessly picks up the lie which leads to all the awesome tropes and them realising that hey maybe we were dating all along because the line between friends and friendlier can get real blurry.

Accidental marriage! They could get real drunk, or run into an artifact which makes you kinda drunk and blackout (like the one on the show) and Pete/Claudia decide to pull a prank and mock up a marriage certificate expecting them to freak and they do! But just when Pete/Claudia are feeling bad about the lie and going to tell them it’s ok, not really married, Myka and HG accept it hehe.

I could do this all day, like seriously, I love them so damn much.

Anyway, this has been my waffle, sometimes I just feel like spilling some love into the void. Quite often it’s my love for The Librarians (which everyone in the world should watch it’s so damn amazing!!) but today you get my utter love for Bering and Wells.

#in which I ramble a lot about how much I freaking love them

Myka has such faith in HG “she left that locket as a clue”. Can I headcanon that when this is over Myka gives it back to her?

Ahhhhhh evil man made HG shoot at Myka!! That is cruel and unusual. Myka is the one person HG couldn’t hurt 🙁 “now there’s someone in the chair you care about maybe your memory will come back” – Skye’s has their number doesn’t he? Barely threatened Pete for a moment, he went straight for Myka.

“You are going to take a breath and you are going to save my life”

I started this post talking about Myka’s faith in HG and yeah that is some faith. HG is doubting herself but Myka isn’t, or at least not verbally. She is supporting HG, giving her the courage to go on.

“There is always an alternative to killing” – if this doesn’t hammer home how much the Warehouse changed HG nothing will.

“You’re not the bad guy ok. I believed in you and I was right so get off your, your cross and help me figure this out.”
“Old times, Wells and Bering, solving puzzles, saving the day.”
“Bering and Wells”

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

I’m screaming. The flirting. Their smiles and the banter and now I get the tag. The show gave it us. Oh yes I am proud #bering and wells. I ship it so hard!

*sniggers* they are tied together with rope, feels like one of those ‘ah they were ropemates’ moments hehe.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

I was just smirking at how they were all ignoring HG and figuring she was about to save the day and *ugly sobbing* THIS IS NOT OK!

“You should be safe now”
“But you are out there.”

HG’s smile, it’s one of complete acceptance. She chose to sacrifice herself to save Myka. I’m dying here. This hurts too much!!! Myka’s expression, she’s devastated but she manages a grateful accepting smile of her own, to tell HG it’s ok before she closes her eyes while the warehouse burns.

OMG ewww what just happened to Mrs Frederick? Totally did not see that coming though I guess she was tied to the warehouse as the caretaker and she was kinda immortal with it? Certainly didn’t age.

But anyway back to the important bit my heart! Artie said “not yet” and looked at the watch so maybe it can turn back time? If they can save HG … still nothing will erase her sacrifice.

Can this shipper please have the cake and eat it too? That beautiful heartbreaking agonising moment and then the happy ending? Myka and HG belong together ok? I’ll accept nothing less!

(I am spoiler free btw and yes I know that this show was cancelled 4 years ago but I reserve the right to rant at the TV people anyway. My message to them is simple – “Don’t go breaking my heart”. Please let them say “I couldn’t if I tried”. Still I suppose I’ll always have what they have given us so far if nothing else .. and then there’s fanfic)

I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!

NO

I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY CALLED THAT HUMANE!

I am beyond appalled. Not just at what happened, the utter dismantlement of basically a persons soul (their memories, everything that makes them them), stripped away and stored for their own benefit. I am even more appalled that yet again Artie thinks it’s a good idea and that nobody verbally objected.

Can I headcanon that Myka was biting her tongue? That maybe her enthusiasm to get the coin was partly righting the wrong, in addition to protecting HG?

Ahhhhhhhh!

(Yes I might be watching while venting)

“It would be like burning down a library with a friend trapped inside”

OMG let’s unpack that. 1) Myka still thinks of HG as a friend, 2) she respects her and 3) “we don’t trade lives” – the friend thing again, if she truly felt HG was nothing more than a resource at best and an enemy at worst she wouldn’t argue. Instead Myka is willing to risk everything to save her.

“I will not destroy HG Wells”

“There is no discussion”

Ahhhhhhhhh – seriously my shipper heart. “You’ll be gone, you’ll be dead. The price is too high”

“How do you say goodbye to the one person who knows you better than anyone else?”
“I wish I knew”

Seriously I could quote this entire scene. I ship it! I ship it hard! Myka has tears and HG is willing to die to protect the world her bronzing-induced madness nearly made her destroy.

Can I headcanon that the reason the last thing HG wanted to see was the sky, was because if she was looking at Myka her resolve would slip? After all Myka is the only one who can talk her down/change her mind.

OMG poor HG /cries. She flinches when Sykes hands her the water because her last memories were of being a hologram and not able to touch anything – seriously back to the rant THE HUMANE OPTION REALLY??

I am so glad I saved this until after I had done my work because I am emotionally compromised. I have too many feels!

“Do you have the grappler?”

“That’s not standard warehouse equipment.”

“It was in 1890”

Can I just say how much I LOVE that Myka is using HG’s grappler 🙂

“You can owe me one”

Just watched the season 3 episode Past Imperfect of Warehouse 13.

Now I know the Sam stuff was there from the very beginning in season one. It always made me uncomfortable, calling Myka bunny? I mean come on just no. But this episode – the flashbacks – could she have been anymore breathless airhead?

You know I finally get the frustration when it feels like the TV people just threw a guy in there like a “this is fine” sort of frantic rearguard action to cover the gay. I’ve never really felt that before.

If they had made Sam less objectionable then I would be more accepting but it makes me cringe everytime. I think that’s the problem. I can’t buy the relationship as it makes Myka OOC, therefore it doesn’t seem real.

In other news I really wish they would give Jinks more stuff to do. He’s kinda just there and hasn’t made an impact which is a shame (he’s Johnny on Killjoys). Him role playing at the re-enactment was good, let him have fun.

I really wish they had done a Warehouse 12 spin-off from Warehouse 13 where HG Wells just owns everybody.

I watched the 3-2-1 episode the other day with mum and she raised an eyebrow “trousers in that age as a woman?” (1890) and I said that was the genius of HG.

HG played on expectations. I suspect in the beginning she might have disguised herself more as a guy when out doing warehouse stuff but soon realised she didn’t have to because people are blind. They would see trousers and wouldn’t look twice so eventually she got more daring, more blatant, daring people to notice but nobody ever looked twice. Nobody ever saw her.

Seriously though I would have watched 10 seasons of HG solving everything like a boss with Wooly as her exasperated sidekick.

I love how vehement Myka was that no way she would ever have slept with Pete.

So gay. (*cough* belongs with HG Wells). Not into guys. Just saying.

Like is this even subtext anymore? I don’t think so.

I think I might have to make Monstrare, Monere a series because this week on “how the Warehouse is the super scary big bad” they lock HG Wells up someplace unknown (somewhere underground), use an artifact on her to manifest her virtually where they want, for whatever purpose they want…

No wonder Myka returned to the warehouse – she just witnessed an escalation in what they are capable of! Mrs Fredericks creepy breaking and entering takes on more sinister tones. So a) Myka is scared for herself (would they even accept a refusal? What would they do to her to protect their secrets?) and b) how can she just walk away? She became a secret service agent presumably at least partially to help people – protect and serve – and right now the best place to watch the Warehouse (and protect the world from it!) is to be on the inside.

Aaaaaand I just gave away the plot. Still I’m not doing any writing right now so possibly just as well. Stupid wooziness /grumbles
