Warehouse 13

[Elodan]

Anyone watch this?

I thought it was decent (not a fan of the female lead). Definitely has potential (very Friday the 13th, the series like). Going to give it a couple of more episodes.

Favorite line: "I made cookies."

I was intrigued. I'm not sure I like the "steampunk" communications they've got going. It seems kinda thrown in there. I do like the stun gun though.

Well I definitely enjoyed it more than Sanctuary. But it still felt kind of flat, like something wasn't quite clicking. I'll make an effort to watch another episode, see if anything hooks me, but I feel like I've seen the two schmucks try to protect the stupid, mouth breathing public from anything remotely interesting a few too many times.

I enjoyed it. I think it works better the Friday the 13th did. THe acting was a little flat but hopefully that gets better as pilots can be a bit flat.

 

[Wycen]

I agree with liking it, but felt something was not quite there.

I actually like the Librarian series better I think.

 

[Hand of Evil]

It was okay, have to wait to see more.

The seem to throw stuff out there, yet no real interesting back story, just a name of someone attached to it, think it would be interesting to attach more to it.

Also, I think they need more Lovecraft, the show needs a Dreamland and the old ones in it!

I agree that the pilot leaves a bit to be desired. I did like the steampunk elements, though. For a hint as to where the series might be heading, you can read the various articles at scifiwire.com:

I liked it, I'll watch a few more, but I hope it gets better.

Having the steampunk-tech in the warehouse was nifty, but the black-and-white videophone was unnecessary.

I liked its Indiana Jones meets the Librarian meets Friday the 13th: the Series vibe- I'll give it a few more episodes to shape up.

But it does need work.

The reliance on antiquated tech is somewhat annoying. IMHO, unless they come up with gooooood reasons for it, they're going to ruin the suspension of disbelief.

The B&W videophone? Replace w/modern tech unless you say that its more secure since it doesn't use more commonly monitored frequencies, etc. Or something better.

And accessing the Warehouse's gear via the bioelectric car or slide line is blech. Get a Segway. Get a trike. Get a moped. Get some rollerblades and a pair of Labrador Retrievers.

If you want to keep the slide-line, give the man some brakes and a drop-line on the harness. Its utter nonsense for a valued agent to risk injury every time he's trying to get a piece of equipment.

I liked it somewhat, but the thing it lacked is whatever thing Eureka lacked for me: some neat ideas, reasonably good cast, decent writing, but... something, whatever thing, it's missing, and the show doesn't feel compelling.
