Warehouse 13 is one of the
Warehouse 13 is being marketed as a much "lighter" show, more Eureka than BSG. Reviewers are comparing it to a blend of The X-Files with Indiana Jones as the two leads are male/believer and female/skeptic, plus all powerful and mysterious artifacts. W13 seems to have a little difficulty with pacing (the pilot's climatic scene took waaaaaaaaaaay too long) and getting the comedy/drama blend just right, something I expect will get better as the series progresses. There was a self-immolation that was definitely not funny, but the bit with an Aladdin's lamp that gives you a ferret when you wish for something impossible - that was good.
I'm going to keep it on my DVR list for now as (1) the previews for upcoming episodes look good (Six makes an appearance!) and (2) there just really isn't much else decent to watch right now. Did any of you give ol' Warehouse 13 a try too? What did you think of it?
Six/Carla and John Sheppard from SG:Atlantis were the two I remember. I agree about pacing. I fast-forwarded the climax somewhat as it got old.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly no Eureka, which I loved out of the box. Or Farscape (*sniff*). Pilots are notoriously uneven, so maybe they'll figure it out. Not like there's a ton of stuff to watch instead.
I came late to the Farscape party and have only seen a few episodes; the whole dang series is ready and waiting in my online DVD queue tho'.
ReplyDeleteJoe and I are both huge Farscape fans. His and Deb's costumes a few years ago were from Farscape. You do need to go in order. It's got some serious continuity and mythology involved.
