What's up with this "Why is Warehouse 13 still on the air?" sentiment?

What is so terribly bad about it, that it warrants cancellation?

That's whozit's hang-up. He HATES Warehouse 13 for whatever reason.

BWT, caught my first episode of Alphas Monday night and notice Simon and River’s mom on the show. She was being the evil “biotch” as before but I really like the actress. Ironic that the word is that Summer will be making a guest appearance on the show also. Maybe she can drag Sean onto the show and they can get some revenge on mommy? Though what I’d really like to see is papa Tam getting his……

BPZ….out



Sean has already been a guest star, along with Jewel Staite (Same episode). You really should have seen it. It was great! Sean in spandex :P.

I love 'em both, darn it.

Wasn't going to start Alphas, b/c there's so much on my electronic plate, but add in Mrs. Tam (Isabella Hoffman, who was also so good in Homicide: Life in the Street or whatever the whole title was) and it's worth a try-out.

whozit has already been consigned to the Escher Vault, so pay no attention.

It's a pity that in a way because Eureka is one of those shows that just plays so wonderfully to it's strenghts. At times it's charming and incredibly touching while all the while remaining small scale. It's brilliance sort of creeps up on you.

I'll miss it.

As for Warehouse 13. Long may it run. It's a hoot.

Very sad. I caught that on Felicia Day's tweet.

But, to be honest, things did seem to be kinda moving in that direction. The show just didn't have that same eager feel that it once did. The whole time line issue was starting to unravel, and I'm not sure they had a suitable answer for where to take the story.

Of course, this won't make things any easier. I sense an open ended series finale, with hopes of 2 hour movie ? Maybe ?

It's happened before, with great sci-fi shows cancelled.

Yep, I was thinking the same way.

Well, on the bright side, we'll always have the DVDs, like with Firefly!

Caught the season final of Eureka this past Monday night. I enjoyed it very much. I don’t know what it was, but the formula to the show seemed to have been lacking over the past few seasons. Maybe there was too much humor written into every episode. It’s still sad that next season will be the final. It’s one thing not to take yourself too serious, yet another to attempt a joke every minute. I think this hurt. The humor should be sprinkled in along with the actual flow of the show, it’s like they were waiting for a drum roll after every punch line……..

The last episode of the season was quite good though. The final scene with Jo & Sheriff Carter really hit home, I almost came to tears on that one. Also, I really liked seeing Erica Cerra in blue-jeans and sweatshirt, (instead of the business suit) the girl is gorgeous.

Although I haven’t been a regular watcher of Eureka, next season looks mighty “Awesome” !!! After a hard days work I’m always looking for a little escape entertainment at the end of the day, next season may provide the ticket. I’m looking forward to Eureka.

Warehouse 13 was it’s usual enjoyable self. I think the fact that Jane Espenson’s contribution to the project is ongoing helps out tremendously…… and the talented cast & production values are also an A+.

Alphas - on Sy/Fy’s Monday night line-up was well worth the watching. The series is improving each episode. I’d like to see more guest appearances by other Firefly alum. I always enjoy seeing Nathan, Morena, Adam, Ron, Gina, Jewel, Sean and Alan on other things. Nathan’s involvement in ABC’s “Castle” has certainly shown that an actors influence is not without merit!

Mr. Fillion’s contribution has certainly sparked an increase in viewer-ship for ABC. The man knows what he’s doing!

Anyway, that’s just how I see it……WE HOLD!
