I have to admit the show is growing on me too. I am guessing like any show the first season sucks. If it last long enough they might find out what works and don't. --Lavender

Pilot was a bit tepid, but the subsequent shows are more engaging. It has a decent mix of humour and scifi. Still at times reminds me of a lightweight "Friday the 13th". Some of the things, like using old video communicators, is both quaint and kinda silly, but you roll with it. Interesting that the artifacts are some combination of scientific and mystical at times. In that, they remind of the Green Lantern rings, which have been described as both super science, and "magick". I enjoyed tonight's show about the ancient artifact that attaches itself to a person's spine, turning them into a crazed warrior with electrical powers (sucked from the victim's body). The artifact reminded me of nothing so much as the famous "Tingler" from the classic movie of the same name. Brought back some memories: that tingler scared the bejeezus outa me as a kid! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Johnson" <keithbjohn...@comcast.net> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 7, 2009 9:14:20 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] "Warehouse 13" on Now Anyone watching "Warehouse 13" on the--wait for it, Martin--all new SyFy? I'm just into the first ten minutes, so no way i can make a judgement, but wondered if anyone heard any early buzz on the show? I do recognize a couple of the actors. The lead actress played Jeremiah's traitorous lover on the show of the same name. And the mad scientist guy is memorable as Fajah (sp?), in the TNG ep about a rich dude who collects things, and tries to add Data to his collection. As always with Sci--er, SyFy, I'm divided. If the show sucks, it's another sorry show commissioned by the network. If it's good--and I must admit they've shown some good stuff here and there over the years--I fear it'll be canceled to soon. And when I see a show like this, I must confess it makes me wonder why the likes of "Level 9", "The Dresden Files", and others of this type were canceled. Throw in shows on other stations, like "The Chronicle", "John Doe", "Jake 2.0", and "G vs. E", and you wonder what this show's chances are. Maybe it'll catch on like "Eureka"? People may lie, but the evidence rarely does.
