The Mystery of Warehouse 13

We watched the premiere of Syfy's Warehouse 13 and found it mildly enjoyable, although it was a bit of a bumpy start. It's sort of like a cross between Friday the 13th and The X-Files, which generally would be a good thing. But something was off: the timing, the writing, something. We also didn't like the mix of old technology with new (the ridiculous two-way communicating devices, the warehouse curator's ancient typwriter keyboard interface to the highly advanced computer system, etc.) If the artifacts are all ancient, then the technology at least needs to be modern or futuristic. It gave off a strange Wild, Wild West vibe which wasn't working. And we still don't understand what Lucretia Borgia's jeweled hair ornament was trying to do. Take over the world? Really? A hair ornament trying to take over the world?

The show was co-written by the amazingly talented Jane Espenson and so we'll tune in for episode two to see if they can get the kinks worked out. In this video clip Eddie McClintock talks about the show and next week's guest appearance by Tricia Helfer. Take a look:
