Then the show reminded more of the Friday the 13thseries, which was often very creepy. (especially since it aired at 11 pm here in the Atl, and I used to lay in bed in the dark watching it). One realizes that Warehouse 13 could actually go in three directions: more straight drama/detective work (a la some eps of The X-Files), more humourous (a la Eureka), or more supernatural and creepy like Friday the 13th. The writers are doing a good job with the balance, and I'm liking the humorous bits: the Star Trek references. Tonight, Pete goes Hey! Hey! Hey!, just like Dwayne from What's Happening, and I'm back rolling again! That gives them lots of plot possibilities, lots of artifacts to create, from the mundane to the extraordinary.

Re: [scifinoir2] Warehouse 13 - Starting to love it
Yeah, the Sister is used too sparingly. I don't really get her purpose or function. Is she psychic? She's always talking about people's auras. As for Pete, yeah, the thing about him acting dumb is a tad overplayed. By the way, does he have some sort of clairvoyance or sensitivity? In last week's show where that psycho Alice from the mirror replaced Micah, Artie kept asking Pete if he sensed anything amiss. The conversation seemed to indicate Pete has an ability to sense danger or wrongness that borders on the psychic. - Original Message - From: Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 9:13:41 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Warehouse 13 - Starting to love it I like the show, but some of the things that keep happening over and over again bugs me. Like Pete being generally stupid when it comes to how he deals with the artifacts he comes in contact with. I do love the artifacts though. Great creativity there. There are hundreds of Stephen King books that are waiting to be written around some of these artifacts! :) The Regents are interesting. There are a few plot elements that they still haven't explained yet, and the regents are one. The sista at the boarding house is another.
