Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Warehouse 13" on Now

2009-07-08 Thread Keith Johnson
Funny. She was okay, but not enough by herself to keep me watching. 

About one and a half hours in, my wife turned to me and said "Is this any good? 
It seems to be a bit slow". I had to admit it still hadn't engaged me. 
Something about the plotting and pacing seemed lackluster and plodding. The 
leads were both a bit of a blank to me: their personalities just didn't shine 
brightly enough to make up for the cliched storyline of the 
incredibly-talented-cops/agents/detectives-who-are-recruited-for-a-top-secret-job.
 The flow was oddly paced, with moments that seemed to want to make the show 
lighthearted (like the completely illogical pulley system the archivist used to 
go deep into the belly of the warehouse, or the cute-but-silly idea of using 
old tech for their weaponry and communications), then moments that tried to be 
really dramatic. I'm loathe to say this, but there wasn't enough action to 
offset the poor plot (you know I try to always defend a good scifi story that 
isn't relying solely on FX and action. By the climax, I wasn't engaged, amused, 
full of suspense, worried, or anything. 

It seemed to me like a show patched poorly together from elements from other 
shows. It reminds me in some ways of X-Files (man and woman team chasing 
dangerous mysteries in the shadows) but with leads not as good, and writing not 
as sharp...put me in mind of that series "Friday the 13th" (collecting items of 
power that need to be locked up), but not as macabre or full of horror 
elementshad little cutesy bits with gadgets and jokes and quirky characters 
a la "Level 9", "Reaper", "G vs. E", "The Chronicle", and even "Eureka", but 
not as much fun as any of those, and unsure about whether to commit to the 
lighthearted angle in the first place. 

I also had time to notice the lack of a significant soundtrack to heighten the 
scenes. That's not a necessity by any means, as a soundtrack should enhance, 
not create, the mood, but here it was so weak I sorely felt the lack of a good 
score. 

Overall it was nearly as lacking to me as that series "Seven Days", which just 
didn't pull together for me. Maybe it was just me being sleepy and tired, but 
honestly, I find Noah Wylie and Bob Newhart in those Librarian TV movies more 
fun. I'll give it another go, and I'll support it for as long as its on, unless 
it turns to truly awful.

I'll watch this show for it's full run if they give Genelle Williams (the 
innkeeper) gets more screentime. Homina, homina, homina!!! 

The first ep wasn't bad either. LOL!

Like that had a chance of happening. The shot of her headed up the stairs and 
then coyly looking backis it getting hot in here?

I'll stop now.

with you on this one B. the inn keeper was BANGING! i do hope that they give 
her more screen time. the premier ep was not that bad. i enjoyed how they built 
a nice little back story. i also enjoyed how CCH wanted them 2 WANT 2 be there. 
there is a lot of possibilities for the series. let's see how it goes. now i am 
waiting on EuREKA friday.
