Warehouse 13

[Purple Ranger 14]

This is a really cool show about two Secret Service Agents chosen to retrieve special/dangerous objects with incredible powers. Stuff like the Guillotine Blade of Marie Antoinette or an Aztec Blood Stone. One episode reminded me of a couple things from Ghostbusters 2.

Here are the artifacts & gadgets seen/mentioned on the show and what they do.


Aztec Bloodstone - This stone exhibits the ability to control individuals whose blood comes in contact with the stone. Bloodletting in Mesoamerica was often used to legitimize a prominent social, political, and/or ideological position. The stone's influence over Gordon in Episode One causes him to attempt to kill the President (actually an attack on the Mexican Ambassador's daughter, as the "Bloodstone" craves virgin sacrifices). Artie is able to disable the stone and close its mouth by inserting what resembles a large, flat key into the top of the stone, giving it the appearance of a Mayan headdress.
Tesla Gun - Designed by Nikola Tesla as an alternative to bullets. It fires a polyphase electrical pulse which stuns the target and causes short-term memory loss. It appears to have 10 settings in increments of 0.5 each; Artie suggests not going over 2.
Rugby Football - A football which works like a boomerang when thrown, implicitly circling the globe before returning to its original location.
Underwater Breathing Mask - Unknown origin at this time. Artie apparently used this breathing mask to 'Fix the Fish'.
Fish Wand/Gun - Unknown origin at this time. Artie apparently used this Wand/Gun device to 'Fix the Fish'.
Bio-Energy Vehicle - Thomas Edison created the proof of concept for Henry Ford. The combined electrical energy of the riders causes the vehicle to move. Originally designed to forego oil, Henry Ford turned it down. The vehicle can be powered with a car battery.
Training Flight 22 - Pulled from the Bermuda triangle. A reference to the loss of Flight 19.
Houdini's Wallet - Acquired November 3, 1926. Has the properties of 'charonic transfer', or the ability to convey the souls of the dead. The wallet allows Myka's dead boyfriend to cross over.
Pandora's Box - Not actually shown, but mentioned. It is in Aisle 989-B, and noted to be empty.
Wishing Kettle - A wish-granting kettle. When it cannot fulfill a wish, a ferret emerges from the kettle. As revealed in "Duped", Myka named the ferret Pete, due to the fact that the ferret annoys her, much like her partner Pete does.
Artie's Monitor - Unknown origin at this time. Steam punk style flat screen. Artie refers to it in a later episode as potential scrap parts.
Artie's Keyboard - Unknown origin at this time. Steam punk style keyboard.
Mayan Calendar - Artie mentions running into a Mayan Calendar that caused two agents to have "their clocks stop" (with the implication that they will resume life in 100 years).
The Farnsworth - Invented by Philo Farnsworth right after the television in 1929. A two-way audio and video communication device.
Jewelry Box and Comb - Jewelry Box and Hair Comb of Lucrezia Borgia created by an alchemist. Triggered by a woman who is of a patrician class, single, successful, survivor of family tragedies, and the death of loved ones and connected to a young man she believes needs her protection. Transmits the mindset of Lucrezia Borgia via the crystals and ionized metal of the comb. Uses a phonetic trigger written in high-brow Italian, roughly 15th Century. 'Se li uomini sapessino le cagioni della paura mia, capir potrebbero il mio dolor,' which translates into 'If people knew the reasons for my fear, they'd be able to understand my pain.'
Euphoria Record - Produces a song that cause extreme euphoria in its listeners, leaving them in a trance for as long as they hear the music.
Lewis Caroll's Mirror - Allows people to interact with their silent reflections and also allows objects to pass through its surface. As revealed in "Duped", the vengeful spirit of Alice Liddell resides inside the mirror. A bright light allows her to trade places with whomever is staring into the mirror, taking on their form. The reverse is also true.
Analog Password Cracker - A cylindrical, alpha-numerical cipher device used to hack into Dickinson's private computer. It comes with a USB attachment. It looks like it was made well before its time. The same or a similar device is later featured in "Duped", where Pete has it connected to a hotel keycard to open the electronic locks there.
Still Camera - Turns whoever it takes a picture of into a into a still, black-and-white, life size cutout of themselves. A second picture will restore the cutout to the original person.
Guillotine blade - The blade that killed Marie Antoinette. Releases a blast of energy when it hits the bottom of the guillotine.
James Braid's Chair - After years worth of hypnotherapy, the iron springs become magnetized and, when using one of his descendant's voices akin to a tuning fork, can cause whoever sat in it to enact their subconscious desires.
Durational Spectrometer - Shows the images of anyone who was in the room in the last five hours.
Rheticus's Compass - Was used in his long lost teleportation experiments. Has a set of rules engraved on the sides of the box and in a secret compartment under the box. If all the rules are not followed precisely, the user will be trapped in space and time until the rule is followed.
Ben Franklin's Lightning Rod - Part of Artie's travelling emergency kit, it boosts the energy level of any device it's attached to.
Electric Handcuffs - Handcuffs altered to carry a 20,000 volt charge, invented and used by Claudia Donavan.
Buck Skin Coat - Native American coat that allows whoever wears it, and puts the hood over their head, to pass through solid objects easily. Anything they happen to be holding is also rendered intangible.
Lenape Cave - Located deep underground, whoever can use all the elements will gain immense power over all the world.
Spine of the Saracen - Turkish Device used in the First Crusades. First obtained by a former Warehouse agent Jack Secord. Attaches to the spine of the user, often forcibly, and acts like a massive stimulant. The user is rendered stronger, faster, and more durable than normal. Their bodies also generate electrical energy many times greater than an average human, allowing them to kill others with electrical discharges. The device also stimulates anger in the user, driving them to kill the object of their hatred. It can be detached by either killing the host or overloading the spine with a massive electric surge. The spine was smashed to pieces with a fire extinguisher; The fragments are stored in the warehouse.
3D Holographic Imaging Projector - Designed and built by Claudia Donovan. Uses pictures to make a hologram of anything and can reconstruct it back to its base form. Built from Bell and Howell's Spectroscope.
Bell and Howell's Spectroscope - As stated by Claudia, after she repurposed it, it was "just a holographic projector."
Honjo Masamune - Ancient Japanese samurai sword held by the ruling family of Japan for hundreds of years. The sword is said to be the most perfect sword ever forged, such that even light is split by its blade. This results in functional invisibility for its wielder. If the sword is missing its tsuba, then its power will not work.
Implosion Grenade - A device that creates a vacuum at a specific point, resulting in a pressure differential which draws in all nearby matter. Artie originally believed that every one was collected and stored in the Warehouse, but later discovered that the designer built more. The designer was killed after delivery of the last grenades but a blueprint exists.
Disintegrator Device - Never seen on camera. Produces a green blast which turns organic matter to dust while leaving inorganic matter unharmed.
Iceflower - Chinese firework that mesmerizes any who see it for about 10 minutes.
Studio 54 Disco Ball - The disco ball from Studio 54 resides in the Warehouse. It projects the energy and feelings that were captured at Studio 54. When dropped or struck by a bright light, it projects light and desires from its surface and spins, regardless of any present light source or outside forces. It also plays "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor and "Dancing Queen" by ABBA.
Casino Token - This casino token allows the user to see roughly a minute into the future. The vision seems to take into account what the user intends to do with the knowledge, as the two using it to win at roulette saw themselves making the correct decision each time. It damages the user's hand with each use.
Lewis Carroll's Mirror - What appears to be a large mirror is in fact a window into an alternate dimension. A person or, at least a person's consciousness can be transferred into or out of the mirror's dimension, but apparently not from within, so it is in effect a sort of prison. Alice, as in Alice in Wonderland, was so imprisoned in it.

It was interesting. And some thing different,
