Warehouse 13 is a Sci Fi guest star festival

[u/Exocoryak]

I just finished watching the show for the first time... wow!

There are just so many familiar faces: Kate Mulgrew, Joe Flanigan, Roger Rees, Jeri Ryan, Brent Spiner, Anthony Head and obviously the great Saul Rubinek in a lead role - it's an all-star ensemble combining actors from my favorite TV shows!

[u/melophat]

Yeah, they really did spoil us with some great high-profile cameos.

I particularly enjoyed Roger Rees as MacPhereson, partially because I couldn't help but imagine him saying his lines as the Sheriff of Rottingham from Robin Hood: Men in Tights..

Which cameo was your favorite?

[u/Exocoryak → u/melophat]

Kate Mulgrew was a very good surprise, especially since I haven't seen her in anything that interests me since her role on Voyager. Also fitting that her character was called "Jane" - given the backstory on the actor-change for Captain Janeway, I would imagine that she had a say in the name of her Warehouse 13-character too.

Roger Rees was obviously phenomenal. I only saw him in The West Wing, but his performance here was definitely rivaling Lord John Marbury.

Brent and Kate really put in some great performances with their limited time on the show

I liked the cross over episodes with Eureka, Fargo and Claudia romance.

[u/melophat → u/ferretkona]

Agreed. The crossovers were some of my favorite episodes. I wish that they had done a few more.

my head canon is that Artie is actually Dr. Carl Carlson (his character from Eureka). When he walked into "The Artifact" in his Eureka episode, he jumped universes, and was linked somehow to the Warehouse.. this caused him to lose his memory and take on the identity of Arthur Neilson. But there are still some residual memories from his Eureka life, which is why he calls the objects that he and the agents track down "artifacts".

[u/new2bay → u/melophat]

How does that even make sense?

[u/melophat → u/new2bay]

Eh, it's just headcanon, it doesn't always have to make sense.. it's just for my own personal little bit of amusement.

[u/CleansingFlame]

Wasn't Mark Sheppard on it too?

[u/Exocoryak → u/CleansingFlame]

Benedict Valda! Yeah, great character. Adds another one of my favorite shows to the list.

[u/royrogerer]

I watched star trek (all of them) after watching warehouse 13. You don't know how many times I was screaming at the screen while watching star trek lol. Omg that's father Adrian! Omg that's the crazy computer guy with an orange cat named Thomas (I find it funny I can't remember Rene's character's name, but the name of the character's cat), omg that's Pete's ex wife!

[u/Exocoryak → u/royrogerer]

Rene Auberjonois as Hugo! Of course! No list is ever doing all of those actors justice.

[u/Fannan]

Jewel Staite from Firefly!

[u/write_as_rayne → u/Fannan]

And Sean Maher from Firefly as well in the same episode!

[u/Fannan → u/write_as_rayne]

Yes I forgot about him!

[u/onemorespacecadet → u/Fannan]

and Stargate Atlantis!

[u/Worf2DS9]

Lindsay Wagner of "The Bionic Woman" fame too.

[u/stomper4x4 → u/Worf2DS9]

The biggest one for me. I guess it shows my age!

[u/GavinStrict]

Erick Avari from Stargate. (And Master Rahool in Destiny 2).

[u/blueray78]

I was shocked (and happy) about the number of appearances from familiar faces. All the ST actors were amazing, with character names being easier to remember how to spell: you got Janeway, Data, Odo, Seven. And Saul Rubinek was even in an episode ST (and stargate)

[u/_YourFavoriteAce]

I loved seeing James Marsters and Anthony Stewart Head(RIP) reuniting in season 4. I also loved seeing Sean Maher and Jewel Staite reuniting in season 2.

[u/Exocoryak → u/_YourFavoriteAce]

James Marsters! I knew that face and voice was familiar, but I couldn't quite figure it out.

[u/Justice_Prince]

I was always holding out for a Josh Peck cameo, but it never happened.
