Special Guest stars includes James Marsters and Polly Walker , both of whom had previously worked on shows that had the involvement of Warehouse 13 co-creator Jane Espenson who herself hasn’t been heavily involved with Warehouse 13’s production beyond its conception.
Jane Espenson had been a Buffyverse in which Marsters had played Spike.
Jane Espenson had also been the showrunner of Caprica featuring Polly Walker as a regular cast member. Marsters himself had a guest stint on Caprica but I don’t remember if his character had anything to do with the Polly Walker character. In this Warehouse 13 episode however they play husband and wife.
In addition to the Buffyverse both James Marsters and Jane Espenson were involved with Torchwood but each at different point in that series.
With the James Marsters character in the Warehouse 13 episode which looks like the beginning of a recurring role, there seems to be an amalgamation of characters he played before.
His character in Warehouse 13, Sutton is that of a college professor and he had played a college before in Smallville.
In Buffy/Angel, Marsters played Spike and in this Warehouse 13 episode Sutton is someone who has lived for a long time but denies that he is a vampire saying that vampires are for gothic novels. (It could possibly be interpreted that Marsters is stating that he has long left Spike in his past, having last played him with the end of Angel in 2004).
Someone who has lived for a long time and is not a vampire sounds like Torchwood’s Captain Jack rather than Marsters’ own Torchwood character of Captain John Hart.
When Sutton was asked how he could have live so long, he said that he moisturise, a reference perhaps to Torchwood’s parent Doctor Who in 31.2 The End of the World when the Lady Cassandra used that word to described why she has lived for a very long time. While still on the subject of Doctor Who, the Warehouse 13 episode has portraits of Sutton painted in the centuries that he has lived and something similar had happened in Doctor Who with the character of Vivien Fay in the story The Stones of Blood.
I’m someone who likes to play the Whoniverse-Star Trek game and with Marsters having played an iconic Whoniverse character in Captain John Hart, this Warehouse 13 episode featured former Star Trek: Voyager captain Kate Mulgrew in a recurring role but Marsters and Mulgrew have no scenes together here.
This episode has the use of bridging scenes with a news anchor reading the latest bulletins and one news item that he read was about the Secretary of State learning something from a salsa lesson but unfortunately we don’t get to find out what it was.
Not a bad resolution to the cliffhanger of the previous episode We All Fall Down.
As Marsters was playing a character called Sutton, this Warehouse 13 episode was shown on its Foxtel channel at the same time as the scheduled showing of The Lying Game on FOX8 which has a regular character called Sutton.
