Warehouse 13 (TV Series) Savage Seduction (2014) User Reviews

So funny (slight spoiler - not major)

[LoneAssassin · 8/10 · 26 December 2014]

This episode bored me until about two thirds in. The Spanish soap was just blah. Then here comes Jinksy and Claude. Although Jinks is gay, Warehouse has refrained from making him a stereotype - until now! Aaron is adorably funny as a flamer. It's not often I laugh out loud but this was so funny. Claudia and Jinks really are the A team. Surprise, surprise Claudia likes flaming Jinks more than regular Jinks!

The Myka and Pete story is completely in Spanish, so unless you speak Spanish you have to read the screen and not miss a line. No looking away to sip a drink for even a second. It's tedious. If I wanted to read I'd pick up a book!

The best episode of the series

[tenshi_ippikiookami · 10/10 · 10 December 2017]

"Warehouse 13" was always sci-fi with some light humor thrown into it, but in its last season, knowing the end was near, they decided to embrace silliness and leave behind a couple of really good and really funny episodes: three and four. This one, "Savage Seduction", though, became a masterpiece in mixing sci-fi with humor, "Warehouse 13" delivering an episode for the ages.

The episode follows the 'two cases per episode' model that became dominant from season 3 onward. We have Claudia and Jinks investigating some college students and the freaky accident one of them has had, while Myka and Pete go to help Pete's ex Kelly, whose grandmother has disappeared.

The first case is really funny, with Claudia and Jinks having to infiltrate a fraternity and having a chance for some very silly moments. But Myka and Pete's case, where they get into Kelly's grandmother's TV and become characters of a telenovela is just perfect. From the characters suddenly speaking Spanish, to all the betrayals and counter-betrayals, and family connections no one knew of that are so connected in the viewer's mind to the plot twists and developments proper of telenovelas, the show is a constant highlight after highlight, starting with Pete, I mean Pedro,'s mustache.

"Warehouse 13" was always funny. But in this episode they just brought it to another level.

Thus far their absolute funniest episode

[ClartoGlogenwap · 10/10 · 23 July 2014]

I had to pause to get all my laughing done so I wouldn't miss more laughs. I've seen a few telenovelas (one I was even hooked on) and this is, compared to the ones I've seen, a hilarious over the top satire of the genre. I'm not sure about the cultural sensitivities etc and await a more knowledgeable person's input on that. Artie, Pete and Myka are pulled into a telenovela to rescue the grandmother of Pete's ex-girlfriend, Kelly Hernandez. She'd been sucked by an artifact into the show itself and retained no memory of having had another, 'real' life. Myka is pulled in by accident with Kelly but Pete and Artie arrive later with a brilliant artifact - Harvey Korman's cufflinks. Apparently, Korman was famous for not being able to remain in character. :D So, the trick is that you hold a cufflink and retain your real memory. This is signaled by a trumpet and an audience yelling "Ole!" The secondary story is Steve and Claudia investigating a frat house hazing ritual that involves and artifact that allows the person affected to split his personality into two - one responsible half and the other the wild half. Unfortunately, the reintroduction of the halves can have dangerous side effects. Naturally, there are more personal revelations involved for Steve and Claudia.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I have. It's a keeper!

Hilarious

I'm not a Sci-fy fan but I've enjoyed watching this series. Cheesy but some great lines, especially from Pete who is like am 8 year old boy in a man's body. Savage Seduction has been the funniest so far.

Best episode of all

[irishscarbomb · 10/10 · 3 April 2022]

*Spoilers Ahead* Once you ignore the stereotypes, this is the funniest episode of the whole series. Two Steve's? One of whom is fey, catty bitch? Yes, please! The telenoval story was hilarious. The best part was what happened when they picked up or handed off the cufflinks. Ole!

To Each Their Own.

Just a short note. Worst episode of the entire series.

The whole last season.

[ZinQ · 2/10 · 26 April 2020]

Was crap. Every episode save the last was cheap and nasty. Farce after farce and just a chance for the cast to have fun and put a really awful ending to the whole thing.

Hable Espanol? Yo, no!

[aturtle-93130 · 3/10 · 8 September 2020]

OK, if you are fluent in Spanish, you might like the Pete and Myka segment. If not, pray for subtitles, I would have prefered to have them as my Spanish is not that great.
