Brainstorming for DCU/Warehouse 13 crossover: Following in Their Footsteps

:readmore:

Jack and Janet Drake were both secretly Warehouse 13 agents for years, even before Tim was born. The two met and fell in love while working at the Warehouse. Both worked under Artie and Mrs. Frederic, and both were witnesses to McPhearson's betrayal. Both Janet and Jack were gone for several years before Pete and Myka joined.

Jack joined as an archaeologist with a "vibe" for identifying artifacts. He could look around a room and zero in on a potential artifact. He wouldn't know what it could do, but he would sense it wasn't just a normal object.

Janet was recruited out of the CIA, and was often assigned to high-risk missions to retrieve artifacts from dangerous locations/people/situations. She was "the muscle" when it came to these kinds of retrievals. She was also trained in covert ops, and was an expert in going undercover to retrieve artifacts.

After Jack and Janet got married and had Tim, the pair attempted to semi-retire while raising their son. They settled in Gotham City so that while they were raising Tim, they could still do some work for the Warehouse because Gotham was a magnet/genesis spot for artifacts. They developed a business in the city as collectors/traders of rare antiquities, which was all just a cover to buy up artifacts and ship them to the Warehouse.

However, when McPhearson betrayed Artie and there was no one else but Artie to run the Warehouse and collect artifacts, Jack and Janet reluctantly decided to return to active duty once Tim was old enough to go to boarding school. These were the "archaeological trips" Jack and Janet went on together.

Jack and Janet wanted to bring Tim to South Dakota with them to live in Univille while they worked at the Warehouse, but the Regents would not allow their child to be in close proximity to the location. Children were often a magnet to artifacts and vice verse. There was a strict rule that no one under the age of 18 would be allowed in the Warehouse to prevent artifact shenanigans.

When Tim joins the Warehouse, he is actually the fifth generation of his family tree intertwined with the Warehouse. His father, Jack Drake, is the biological child of agents Jack Secord and Rebecca St. Clair. Rebecca's father, Timothy St. Clair was both an agent and supervisor (Artie's role) of the Warehouse, from 1920s-1940s. Timothy St. Clair's mother was Beatrice Kelly, who was the "caretaker" (Mrs. Frederic's role) of Warehouse 12 before it was decomissioned.

Unknown to everyone except Mrs. Frederic (and maybe Janet Drake back in the day), Alfred Pennyworth is actually one of the Regents. He is a Regent specifically with focus/expertise on the Gotham City region. He actually encouraged the creation of Bruce's "Trophy Hall" in the Batcave, so that he could subtly collect artifacts/potential artifacts from Batman's cases and then forward them to Jack and Janet to get them relocated to Warehouse 13. Only Janet would've known Alfred's identy as a Regent. Her security clearance as a CIA agent gave her privilege to have this knowledge.

Since Jack and Janet's deaths, the reason things have been crazier in Gotham is because the artifacts have been gathering and building up within the city, attaching themselves to people/areas/Rogues/heroes, and sometimes causing mischief.

Show Notes 106 "Burnout"

What’s that on your back, Agents?

This is the second, improved attempt for Tumblr users

As always, you can click here or you can click play on the embedded player below to listen to this week’s episode as you read through the show notes.

We kicked off this week talking about writing teams, because this week’s Writer Appreciation Corner focuses on the duo of Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia. We’ll be issuing a formal correction in the podcast for 108, but I mistakenly said that writing teams were paid a full salary each. I was incorrect! And Stephen Scaia himself was kind enough to correct me!

This is important, because 1) we always want to give you the most accurate and complete information we can 2) this is not the only time or the only writing team we will be dealing as we make our way through Warehouse 13 together.

Miranda and I discussed how our podcasting partnership mirrors that of a writing team. Often it seems that we share a brain, and we’re always super supportive of each other.

Moral of the story? Get yourself a BFF like this.

We talked a little about how this episode had a darker, more X-Files-esque tone. We thought it worked really well for this episode but wasn’t sustainable in the long term, because who would want to tone down this fun energy?

We also talked a bit about how much we loved the whole team behind this episode for letting the mystery play out for us instead of relying on formulaic storytelling techniques. We liked how it showed a trust in the audience to be smart enough to follow a more complex narrative.

Leave a comment below about how you feel about these things!

Miranda pointed out the retro-futurist implications of the massive library-style card catalogue in the Warehouse 13 office.

My personal head-cannon is that they write information about new artifacts on cards and then the data automatically transfers to the digital display screens in front of each artifact in the stacks.

We mentioned that Artie and Claudia’s relationship as well as the conflict between his luddite ways and her more technology-driven approach to life gave us strong Willow-Giles vibes.

Yes, that is another Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference. #NoRegrets

After Claudia’s adorable *big reveal* of her hologram projection machine…

…Artie realizes that she’s used something called a “Bell and Howell Spectroscope.” You can find out more about that here. And you can learn about how that figures into Claudia’s hologram projector here! This whole website a great resource for all Warehouse 13 fans looking to learn a bit more about the artifacts we don’t get to talk as much about one the podcast.

In the episode, Miranda calls Claudia a necessary “fly on [Artie’s] butt” and explained that it was a reference to a Platonic philosophy. Miranda was referring to the concept of a “social gadfly.” It is the most perfect way to describe Claudia and Miranda is, as always, brilliant for thinking of the exact right term.

When Claudia smacks her hologram projector, she refers to the process as “percussive maintenance,” which is a term that anybody who lived through the 1990s and early 2000s would consider quite useful. (We all did this all the time)

Even though Artie didn’t acknowledge Claudia’s brilliance as she deserved, Claudia didn’t let it get her down! Listeners and readers, my wish for us all is that we have the confidence of Claudia! Let us not depend on others for external validation, but be kind enough to ourselves to recognize our own strengths.

(But also, don’t be Artie. When someone does something great, let them know! Everyone like compliments!)

Regarding another turn of phrase, we mention that Claudia says she “upgraded the whole megillah.” Here’s some information about that phrase here and more information about what the megillah is here and here.

Claudia realizes that the tattoo on the body of the as-yet unnamed warehouse agent is a marine symbol, but I’m not sure we get a super clear view of it. So here’s an image of what that symbol looks like.

Moving forward, we talked about the cool luggage carousel-like thing and how that brought up some major Star Trek: The Next Generation vibes.

Specifically mentioned the Holodeck and Moriarty.

We talk about Rebecca being amazing by offering Pete some cookies and we get this great pop of emotional brightness when Pete takes all the cookies!!!! One of the best moments of the whole episode.

Miranda used her amazing brain to highlight the amazing items on Artie and Claudia’s brainstorming board. The items are listed below and hyperlinked to more information about what they are/might be:

Babylonian Battery (wikipedia info here)

Teller’s Microfusion Reactor - Likely an artifact that they were brainstorming might exist based on the life and works of Edward Teller.

The Dayton Project

Gilbert’s Headstone Amber - This one took some digging to figure out! So, William Gilbert was 16th century physician, philosopher, and physicist (say that five times fast!) who is one of the people who invented the term electricity, and he used amber both as in his physical research into electricity but also as a metaphor for electric attraction. Whoever wrote that item on the chalkboard is a genius who really does their research!

Thunderer of the Nite—now I can’t see miranda’s notes, so it could have said “nite,” but I couldn’t find anything about that. What I could find was information about something called Thunderer of the Nile.

Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

Faraday

(this one reminds me of Fringe and all the Faraday cages)

ELF transmitted through Kennedy HH… (we couldn’t get the whole item there)—ELF likely refers to Extremely Low Frequency but I have no idea about the second part.

…and last but not least, the Egg of Columbus! Why did I save this one for last? Well, because I think it’s the funniest. Also, because there are three possible answers. The most likely answer is Tesla’s Egg of Columbus. But I talked with friend-of-the-show Tobie James, and she shared two other fun things that could be described as “Eggs of Columbus.” The first is the actual egg mentioned in the story of the previous link, and the second refers to puzzles of both the tangram and mechanical variety.

Thanks to Miranda and her amazing brain for capturing this list so we could ogle at the brilliance of whoever in the Art Department is responsible for this amazing and detailed background imagery. Thanks for being our Artie/Watcher, Miranda.

Yes, that is another Buffy reference! #TakeAShotEveryTimeWeReferenceBuffy #YoudBeVeryDrunk

After this, we figure out that this is called the “Spine of Saracen.” And we would like to wholeheartedly thank our amazing Expert of the Week, Dr. Suleiman Ali Mourad. He illuminated a lot of information about the term Saracen and its Crusade-age origins.

Dipping into some ~heavy themes~

Please be mindful of how you use the term “Saracen” in daily life. If you’re unsure of how to use it, don’t use it at all. Dr. Suleiman referred to the fact that it’s not always a negative term, but it can be as offensive as the N-word. Personally, I wouldn’t use it to refer to anything other than Matt Saracen of Friday Night Lights. (But seriously, though. Please don’t use the word if you’re at all concerned it could be misconstrued as offensive.)

Anyway, we talk a little bit with him and with each other about how the Islamic Golden Age flourished years before the European Renaissance. It didn’t make the final cut of the episode, but we talked a little bit about how the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) led to Eastern nations of the ancient world inheriting the important cultural works of the Greco-Roman Empire—which meant inheriting the words of Galen, the originator of most medical and nutritional knowledge in the world until the modern era. We’re talking the dominant source of knowledge for literally thousands of years. So, while the nations flourishing the the Islamic Golden Age advanced medical knowledge, Western Europe lost most of that knowledge and was plunged into the Dark Ages. You can learn more about this from a source we referenced in our 101A and B Show Notes, Food: A Cultural Culinary History by Dr. Ken Albala. More purchase options linked in the 101 A and B Show notes linked above.

Dr. Mourad talked about how this Islamic Golden Age was heavily tied to the Translation Movement in the Islamic Civilization of the age. This is a fascinating subject that I did not know about before Miranda spoke with Dr. Mourad.

That’s what I have for this week.

Hope you’re buzzed for the next ep, Agents.

Melody of Iron

Osamu Teuka hit rock bottom in 1973. Mushi Production, the animation studio he’d launched to great fanfare in 1961, had just declared bankruptcy. Although Tezuka had parted ways with Mushi in 1968, he was still linked to his old company in the public imagination — Mushi was, after all, the studio that had introduced Tetsuwan Atom to television viewers around the globe, and made Kimba the White Lion a household figure in Japan. Tezuka also faced a creative crisis: his work was out of step with emerging trends in what he called “young adult manga,” a point he plaintively addressed in the afterword to the short story collection Melody of Iron:

The media was whispering that I’d hit my wall… With a broken heart, but also rebellious determination, I blindly tackled magazine jobs …These are examples of my Young Adult Manga write during times when I was mentally hungry. There were many more. Ranging from pieces that were too dark and hopeless, to really harsh pieces that, in today’s day and age, would immediately receive protest from all sorts of organizations. All of my pieces then had really emotionless themes and I don’t remember enjoying writing most of them.

Manga publishers would have agreed with Tezuka’s dour self-assessment. In 1973, Weekly Shonen Champion offered Tezuka an opportunity to write a limited five-week series, with the implicit assumption that Tezuka was publishing his final work. That series turned out to be the opening salvo in a new stage of Tezuka’s career, as Black Jack  became one of Tezuka’s best-known, best-loved titles, a mixture of bold, expressive cartooning, crazy plot lines, and gut-punch endings all held together by one of the most memorable characters Tezuka ever created.

Melody of Iron, another work from this period of artistic ferment, offers three stories that explore similar thematic terrain as Black Jack, with characters whose dogged desire for revenge and resolution proves their undoing. The title story, for example, is a 143-page novella about a young Japanese man who runs afoul of cosa nostra. Dan Takuya’s odyssey begins in New York, when his sister Alisa marries Eddie Albani, an American mafioso with designs on world domination. Like many of Tezuka’s Black Jack stories, “Melody of Iron” takes a detour into the Twilight Zone in its second act, after Eddie punishes Dan for ratting out an associate of the Albani family. Dan survives his encounter with Eddie’s goons, but loses his arms in the process. He then makes a Faustian bargain with Dr. Mactinosh, a scientist who promises Dan a set of prosthetic arms so sophisticated that Dan could fire a gun with them. The catch? Dan will need to tap into his as-yet undiscovered powers of PK — that’s psychokinesis — to make the arms work.

If that detour into the fifth dimension sounds bananas, the story’s denouement is even crazier, since the arms take on a life of their own. The arms’ sudden burst of independence is an operatically silly development, but one that drives home the moral of the story: that the unwavering pursuit of revenge, however righteous the cause, is toxic. The final panel of “Melody” is pure Stephen King, with the arms lurking at the edge of the picture plane unaware — or unconcerned — that Dan’s quest for justice has come to a ruinous end.

Not surprisingly, the artwork for “Melody of Iron” closely resembles Black Jack. The main trio of characters are generically attractive types whose faces become animated whenever they experience strong emotion, while the supporting cast are marvelous caricatures, each one’s personality embodied in the shape of his nose, the thickness of his eyebrows, and the size of his belly. To be sure, these kind of visual shorthands are a standard manga technique, but in Tezuka’s hands these aesthetic decisions are particularly effective, establishing each character’s role in the story with the same efficiency as a naval officer brandishing a semaphore flag on the deck of a ship.

Tezuka’s artwork also reflects his enduring love affair with American culture. Alisa and Eddie’s wedding, in particular, contains several visual echoes of the opening scene in The Godfather, right down to a sequence of panels that cuts between a big band serenading the wedding guests and Dan meeting with the head of the Albani family. (All that’s missing is a shot of Don Albani stroking a cat.) Tezuka also treats us to fleeting glimpses of Manhattan that depict Broadway’s signature jumble of lights, signs, and tourist traffic — a nod to his lifelong fascination with musical theater, and with American cities.

The biggest strike against this solidly entertaining story are several brief interactions between Dan and African-American characters. Shortly after Dan’s encounter with Eddie, for example, a nameless mob of teenagers encircles Dan as he stumbles (presumably) through Harlem, pelting him with stones and mocking him for his missing arms. The way these characters are rendered — with thick lips and maliciously gleeful expressions — creates a profoundly uncomfortable moment for the modern Western reader, as Tezuka is unwittingly trafficking in the visual iconography of minstrel shows. Dan is rescued by Birdie, a Vietnam vet who counsels Dan to abandon his murderous plans. Birdie looks more recognizably human than the rock-throwing teens, but he’s more a construct than a character, a noble voice of reason whose primary purpose is to advance the plot by introducing Dan to Dr. Macintosh.

The other strike against “Melody” — and, by extension, the entire anthology — is that the edgier content barely registers as such with contemporary readers; when compared with I Am a Hero, Happiness, Crying Freedman, or Tokyo Ghoul, Tezuka’s coy elisions and occasional nude scenes seem kind of prudish. This coyness is most pronounced in “Revolution,” the third story in Melody of Iron. The story focuses on Yasue, a married woman who wakes up from a medical trauma convinced that she’s Minako Hotta, girlfriend of a college radical. In several scenes, Yasue describes her sexual encounters with a man she believes to be her boyfriend, suggesting that her tender ministrations (*ahem*) helped bring him back to life after he was brutally interrogated by the police. These scenes are guffaw-inducing for their mixture of delicacy and prurience, pulling the reader out of the story, and sapping the central mystery of its urgency.

Whether you enjoy Melody of Iron comes down to tone. All three stories toe the line between earnest drama and emotional torture porn, as characters like Dan and Yasue endure a series of trials, each more emotionally grueling than the last. The emotional impact of these scenes is mitigated by Tezuka’s breakneck pacing and fervid imagination; any time a story lapses into mawkishness or melodrama he finds a way to jolt the enterprise back to life with an odd twist, a new character, or a pure flight of fancy. (See Exhibit A, sentient psychokinetic arms.) Upbeat endings aren’t a prerequisite for a good story, of course, but maybe Tezuka was onto something when he characterized Melody of Iron as “too dark and hopeless” for readers.

Star Trek Gold Key 100-page Spectacular

Writers: Dick Wood, Len Wein Artists: Nevio Zaccara, Alberto Giolitti Cover Artist: Michael Stribling

IDW presents this special 100-page collection of classic Gold Key Star Trek comics. Created by writers and artists who had not seen the show often (or at all) and worked off of whatever publicity materials they could get their hands on, the Gold Key Comics are true 1960s gems. Needless to say, the end results were definitely unusual – and very un-Trek in some cases (A blond Scotty! Spock kills! The Enterprise belches fire!). Collecting “The Planet of No Return,” “The Youth Trap,” and “The Enterprise Mutiny,” this special also features a history of the Star Trek Gold Key comics by author Joe Berenato.

IDW has a ton of great comic on sale this week, and we have your looks at them. Here’s the IDW Publishing Previews for 3-1-2017.

Animal Noir #1

Writers: Izar Lunacek & Nejc Juren Artist: Izar Lunacek Cover Artist: Izar Lunacek

Anthropomorphic animals like you’ve never seen them before. It’s Chinatown meets Animal Farm and just like the George Orwell classic Lunacek and Juren’s animals are an allegory for today’s world.

Private Investigator (and giraffe), Immanuel Diamond – Manny to his friends – has been asked by his uncle – an influential judge — to track down a prey fantasy movie. Adult films in this world are staged hunts where one animal eats another and the judge’s wife starred in one that has been hidden (until now).

Giraffe detectives, hippo mob members, prey-obsessed lions, street fighting elephants, and oppressed zebras are just part of this wild animal kingdom.

Corto Maltese: In Siberia

Writer: Hugo Pratt Artist: Hugo Pratt Cover Artist: Hugo Pratt

With this book Hugo Pratt leaves behind the short story form he’d used for 21 interrelated tales and presents a truly epic graphic novel. In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the First World War, Corto Maltese is engaged by the Red Lanterns—a Chinese secret society made up entirely of women—to find an armored train laden with gold that belonged to the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II. They aren’t the only ones lusting after the treasure. The adventure, which shifts from the hidden courts of Venice to the mysterious alleys of Hong Kong, from Shanghai to Manchuria and Mongolia to Siberia, also attracts regular and irregular armies, as well as revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries.

The orchard

I have been fairly skeptical and a little irate about the warehouse of late. And for many good reasons. But I also (will always) feel about the end of the warehouse the way that Rebecca felt about going back to see Jack at the end of When and Where. She knew it wouldn't last, but she still picked it over NOT going back. Rebecca went back to that orchard in the last moments of her life because she wanted what she loved so badly she was willing to die sooner to get it. That moment in the orchard, that feeling, the feeling of time, and knowing it won't last forever, but taking the chance, an opportunity to do the impossible, provided by the warehouse and its family -- that moment in the orchard is the reason I'm still watching this season of Warehouse 13.

[toomanyfandomsnofuckstogive]

my fav eps of WAREHOUSE 13 are all the ones where they go back in time and get all dressed up in the clothes and stuff or the ep where they turned into Rebecca and Jack
