To me it feels a lot like the superhero thing, I was reading this and it made me think of Lois & Clark. Bad guys or good guys, good or evil, one or the other, and people can step over the line and change, but then they don't retain the qualities that had them on the other side because there's no grey area (though I really liked the call-back to HG's body count, and the way she smirked about it, because even if she's all redeemed now, that's still a part of her). This show has a similar approach to good/evil, and then they get so caught up in that they forget how to be multidimensional and utilize the grey area.
I do think it's important that they keep emphasizing that using artifacts is bad, because they're a bit lazy about that, and eventually it just might seem greedy of the warehouse people to lock them away and not be using them to do good. They use so many artifacts as it is, and while that's fun and all.... sometimes I really wish they wouldn't do that so easily.)
