WTF is SciFi ( or is it now SyFy ? ) thinking.... Warehouse 13. Isn't there already a show about an Gov't run area that's home to far out, top secret stuff ?

Yeah, I think he was the only one who wasn't commented on. Either it was so obvious that there was no need to comment, or he simply played it close to the vest and omitted himself on purpose. Good pic, btw, as he's much slimmer. Which is interesting, because later on, he's huffing and puffing along in the back of the warehouse, and comments that he needs to lose some weight.

Agreed. I liked the steampunk kind of feel to the equipment that Artie was using.

There is so little on SyFy worth watching, but this show seems to be one of them. I will catch the next episode to see how it goes.

I think they've changed their minds on that and calling this the start of season 4. I only say that because I saw on Amazon that the Season 3 DVD is being released in a month or two.

That always bugged me, anyway. The show's been gone for, what . . . 6, 8 months? Maybe more? So why call this a continuation of Season 3?

I enjoyed the show, it was a fun two hours of tv. My biggest gripe is that I sure hope Janne Kelly as Myka gets rid of that bug-eyed look she is going for. It screams "I'm trying to act like a secret service agent" instead of "I'm a secret service agent." Its not natural at all.

I think they're calling it 3.5 or something.

Anyway, what are you guys thoughts on the round-the-world football? Or did anyone else pick up that it was implied to travel all the way around the planet? Two other people I watch it with missed that completely.

Saul Rubinek was my whole reason for tuning in. Most convincing actor in Sci-Fi, IMHO.
ST:TNG, The Outer Limits, EUReKA, etc.
I think it's all his subtle little mannerisms & mumblings that does it.
And he putters around a lab better than anybody.

I just saw the first two episodes (pilot is free on iTunes).

It's pretty good. It's not the most amazing Sci-fi ever, but I like it (and it's certainly better than Sanctuary!). Rubenik and McClintok are great in their roles as the mumbling lab-bound leader and the off-the-cuff agent that goes by his 'vibes'. Kelly (Myka Bering) doesn't come off as she has as much range as those two (she really tried too hard a lot of the time), though she plays high-strung quite well and I think she will improve and grow on me.

I tried it out because Jane Epenson is one of my favs, and while it's sorta off to a shaky start, I could stick with this one. It's nice that we get to see some of the objects already stored at the warehouse and their functions (Lewis Carrol 'Through The Looking Glass' Mirror, magical teleporting kettle that grants wishes). The humor sort of reminds me of Joss ("We're not going in there." "I made cookies?" "Oh, okay.") and it looks like the sky is the limit as to what the intrepid agents could be tracking down in future episodes.

The only thing I fear is the writers suddenly saddling Pete and Myka with some UST. I like the sibling vibe they have right now, no need to complicate things.

Also, I'd be pleased as punch if we got to see Myka's ferret once every few episodes. That moment of her wish was all sorts of awesome (plus, the B&B owner did say she was growing fond of the little guy).

EDIT: I want to ditto the love for the steampunk props and yes! The football does go around the world! I like how Pete has figured out when it returns. :D
