Jeri Ryan, a borg out of her Sci Fi (yes that is SCI-ence FI-ction, not Syfy - which means NOTHING) element. She was plastic and wooden and her acting was more apt to being borg than a genuine character. And the pecs and abs of Pete, were 'over the top'.moreless

Jeri Ryan, a borg out of her Sci Fi (yes that is SCI-ence FI-ction, not Syfy - which means NOTHING) element. She was plastic and wooden and her acting was more apt to being borg than a genuine character. And the pecs and abs of Pete, were 'over the top'.Since syfy cancelled all the space based REAL Sci-Fi programmes, it seems they have rolled out budget barrell on W13 and even 'adult-ized' it with a Gay Character, who is probably the least gay person ever on any show and will he ever have a bf? NO. And the pecs and abs of Pete show and tell, are nothing but a middle aged man trying to act 20 something, not trim not fit and a lardy with a few hours of pumping iron. Throw in a big budget of guest casts and well sorry it is not making the programme any more interested...or yawn-ing than it was. YAWN!moreless

Worst episode of the series so far.

5.5

By cherold01, Sep 23, 2011

Some episodes are such misfires that I get worried about the future of a show, and this is one of those. Much of the episode was given over to tediously filmed emotional drivel. Pete makes amends to his ex-wife in a long, excruciating scene. Bad enough, but then 10 minutes later his ex-wife makes a similar long apology. And towards the end there's yet another long scene with Claudia and the new guy sharing.

Seriously? I really don't have nearly enough emotional attachment to these characters to care about their deep traumas. Just show me some crazy artifact stuff.

The artifact stuff was, unfortunately, also a little wanting. The Pete/ex-wife story didn't hold together well. Claudia's story was very slight (this whole two interwoven stories thing that's been happening this season is just not working, perhaps because at least one of the two stories has been boring.

All I can do is hope this is an anomaly and not a sign of the future.moreless

Queen For A Day

9.0

By TrueTvWatcher, Aug 25, 2011

Queen For A Day was a superb episode of Warehouse 13 and I really enjoyed watching because we were introduced to Pete's ex wife Amanda who was remarrying another Marine. I loved the Ancient Egyptian Artifact in this episode and thought it was very cool and definitely something that would have come from that time and region. I also thought Claudia and Steves mission was interesting and it had some good scenes. There was some great character development and it was interesting to learn more about Steve. Artie seems to be grooming the Warehouse for his eventual departure, but thats just my guess. I look forward to watching the next episode of Warehouse 13!!!!!!!moreless

7 of 9 was Pete's ex-wife! Awkward much! lol!

8.0

By CrystalBowman0, Aug 02, 2011

Okay, what kind of turned me off of this episode at the start was the introduction of Pete's ex-wife being played by 7 of 9 actress Jeri Ryan! Come on! A guy like Pete getting a girl like that! You've got to be kidding me! Especially during his drinking phase?! Who thought this up! She wouldn't have given him the time of day! Awkwardness ensues throughout the episode with Pete and EX's conversations about the past. I really wanted to like this episode at lot but it didn't pull through. Kind of getting tired already of the way the storylines are getting set up too. Only saving grace was Jinky and Claudia's adventure at the Civil War reenactment and yet another reveal from the new guy although it still fell a little short. Oh, and did Jinks' sister's picture look like an altered pic of Claudia or was that just me?! Okay, we get that Jinks' thinks she reminds him of his sister but we don't have to go that far do we unless they're going to reveal later on that she really IS Jinks' thought dead sister! Oh, wait! With this show I wouldn't be surprise if that is one of the major twists down the line! lol!moreless

ALLUSIONS (5)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Title:
  
  Referencing the NBC/ABC game show Queen for a Day (1956-1964), which featured four housewives who would tell their tales of woe. The one who won the most sympathy from the audience (as measured by the "applause meter"), would receive her homecleaning prizes and receive a robe and crown, making her the "Queen."
  EDIT SHARE
- Pete: Talk to me, Goose.
  
  Referencing the 1986 movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise as Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and Anthony Edwards as RIO Nick "Goose" Bradshaw. They train with other top pilots at the Navy's Fighter Weapons School as part of the Top Gun program.
  EDIT SHARE
- Steve: Why do I feel like Laverne?
  
  Referencing the ABC sitcom Laverne & Shirley (1976-1983), a Happy Days spinoff. Laverne De Fazio and Shirley Feeney are Milwaukee brewery workers. Laverne is the brash outspoken one while Shirley is the positive perky one.
  EDIT SHARE
- Amanda: It takes two to screw up a tango.
  Pete: Yeah, well I was never really much of a Pacino.
  
  Referencing the 1992 movie Scent of a Woman. One of the film's highlights is Al Pacino, playing an embittered blind colonel, dancing the tango.
  EDIT SHARE
- Pete: You think that guy looks like me with the hair, and the square jaw, and the Captain America attitude.
  
  Referencing the comic book superhero first published by Timely Comics in Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941) and created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Steve Rogers was injected with a super-soldier formula during World War II and gained peak human strength and reflexes. Equipped with an indestructible shield, Rogers donned the costume of Captain America and battled Nazis with his partner Bucky. An explosion of a drone plane threw him into the North Atlantic where he floated for decades in a block of ice before being revived. As part of the Marvel Comics roster of characters, he joined the Avengers and battled crime on his own as well. The character was killed off in March 2007 but has since been brought back in Captain America Reborn in the summer of 2009. A feature movie with the character was released shortly before this episode premiered.
