Warehouse 13 is getting quite interesting - I have the feeling that the turning-back-time and the revival of Steve are going to make things go horribly wrong. And, did I miss it, or has Mrs. Fredrick not yet reappeared?

I think they are setting up Claudia to be the “evil” of this season. But, since she is Claudia, I’m thinking that they will “save” her in the end.

WOW!!! Nailed it! And I liked Avatar (purely for 3D eye candy, I’m sure).

It sure seems that way. I guess the new “government” is cooperating with the enemy.

It reminds me of the offer that the overlord made to the professor.. You live there, you will be left alone.. Also how in the heck did the pilot get so far ahead.. The aliens would have shot her down.

Yes, the pilot was able to fly around without being bothered by the aliens. That was pretty suspicious.
