Warehouse 13 pimp post

Jul 05, 2010 22:08

Warehouse 13 starts up again on SyFy tomorrow (or tonight, depending on when I get this posted - Tuesday, anyway). This will be its second season, and I've been looking forward to it for months. I look forward to Doctor Who, but that is not a stress-free show for me. Warehouse 13, on the other hand, is my fun summer candy. It's good enough to be ( Read more... )

Which means the possible storylines are infinite: pick any object from history, and any historical or modern character it might be connected to, and you've got something to hang a plot on.

This? Sounds more interesting than anything I've heard about the show yet! Why can't it be in book or short-story format, darnit. I have SUCH a hard time getting into shows I've never seen. (I know, I know, how do you get them to be shows-you've-seen if you don't watch them...it took me a year and a half to decide to watch Life on Mars, you know, and that was AFTER I'd seen the first ep and loved it liek whoa.)

Um. I had a point. Oh, yeah, this sounds like an interesting premise!

Well, yay. At least it makes me feel better about my pimping. :) I didn't say anything about the characters or the hotness of any male actors. The things I like about a show are often not what most people like about it, so I was afraid my comments would just make it sound more boring.

If, someday, you watch the show, I think you might enjoy it. Not as an obsession, necessarily, but as a fun show with interesting MacGuffins. :)

The Oatmeal Scotchies are so random yet so great, I hope they continue into S2

I really wanted to watch Warehouse 13 but I think when it originally came on I just had too many shows to find time for it. I keep seeing commercials for it now and it reminds me of those Librarian movies from ABCFamily channel (a good thing from my POV).

Yeah, I think it came at a good time for me because I wasn't watching anything else -- or maybe I had Warehouse 13 and Primeval, but two shows a week was manageable. So it was just fun to have that bit of fluff to look forward to. :)

I've seen bits of those Librarian movies -- I think I know what you mean. In tone and style there is a similarity. Light, fun, fantasy but set in the "real world" (as in, not aliens or wizards).

Lots of TV happiness is about to commence!

YAY! I must admit, it took me awhile to warm up to Warehouse 13, especially after watching Sanctuary but once I relaxed a little and realized the fun, playful side of things in W13 I quite liked the show. Though, I must admit, I still REALLY, REALLY want to feed Joanne Kelly (Myka) a sandwich. That girl is way too skinny!

rustydog July 6 2010, 23:28:13 UTC

Was there something about Sanctuary that made you wary of other SyFy shows in general, or something about Warehouse 13 itself that reminded you of Sanctuary?

Joanne Kelly is quite thin. Of course I want her to be healthy, but it's possible she's one of those people who just naturally don't keep on weight very well. I do think she makes it work pretty well for her character, because she's tough and competent, but she also has these awkward moments where it's partly physical and partly confusion about the non-orderliness of the world.

Sorry, my explaination was certainly vague there. I meant that I was wary of Warehouse 13 because I liked Sancuary so much and the premise seemed so similar (hunting for supernatural items/people and storing them in a special place.) I was worried that SyFy (in typical Syfy action) was hoping to replace Sanctuary with Warehouse 13. Thankfully, they seem to be happy with both, especially since tonally they are so different.

I'm sure Joanne Kelly is naturally a fairly thin person, There just are moments when thanks to her pencil thin wardrobe she looks slightly sickly. Its the same with Gabrielle Anwar from Burn Notice. The first season she was obviously thinner than she is now and she literally looked like she was weak and in pain from lack of food. There are moments when Joanne verges on that same weakness. I guess I just hate that Hollywood so often forces women to be unnaturally thin.

Sorry for the edit - my spelling skills today are extra crappy.
