I know that basically a few months pass within the first like 5-6 episodes of Warehouse 13, but it really warms my heart how Artie goes from grumpy, prickly grizzly bear to grumpy, prickly, loving papa grizzly bear.
Also seeing his and Claudia’s relationship from the start, now that I know where it goes and everything they go through together, is really so beautiful.
(PS: @ the writers of The Blacklist and Agents of SHIELD: that is how you write a father-daughter relationship. Just saying.)
I love Artie&Claudia relationship in WH13 and they grow
spectacularly over the seasons. Claudia was clearly in need of paternal
love & presence as in need of friendship bonds which she has happily
found in her Warehouse family. Claudia never quite grew up in the
meaning of letting go of her visceral longing for a family in its
traditional meaning
Tho if we’re speaking about Daisy Johnson – there was a craving for INFORMATION about her origins and at the same time Daisy has grown and have brought up herself quite capable of almost anything.
The writers never had in mind the making of a father/daughter relationship in
AoS. You may consider it any way you like – platonic, mentor-like
(interchanging between Phil & Daisy) or romantic. With that said it
was always meant to be of equal footing, encompassing emotional
connection and always one of friendship.
