Warehouse 13

[Theta Sigma]

From Wikipedia:
"Warehouse 13 is an American science fiction series that premiered on July 7, 2009 on Syfy." Executive-produced by Jack Kenny and David Simkins,[3] the dramatic comedy from Universal Media Studios has been described as "part The X-Files, part Raiders of the Lost Ark and part Moonlighting."[4] The series follows United States Secret Service agents Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) and Peter Lattimer (Eddie McClintock) as they are reassigned to the government's secret Warehouse 13, which houses supernatural objects. They are tasked to retrieve missing objects and investigate reports of new ones."

Created by Jane Espenson and D. Brent Mote.

Pilot:
Season 1, Episode 1.
I was surprised to see that this was co-created by Jane Espenson.
I always like seeing Joanne Kelly and it looks like she will be having a much longer term role in a TV series because previous TV shows I have seen her in were either short-lived or she was only there as a one-off guest star.
Sherry Miller (Lorna Soliday) is extremely attractive.
Overall a pretty good introduction to the series.

I quite enjoyed the pilot episode. Was light hearted and fun to watch.
This week was ok too, but not quite as exciting. It still had some amusing moments, but I thought the story was not so great. Still looking forward to next week though.

Resonance:
Season 1, Episode 2.

Spoiler

The music used for the robbery sounded lovely though very hypnotic.
A good guest stint by Tricia Helfer (who I am also seeing in Burn Notice).
Glad that Pete and Myka did not turn in Stephanie to the FBI, after all the robbery is not their problem.
Wonder who was the man screaming at the end.

Magnetism:
Season 1, Episode 3.

Spoiler

Pete and Myka goes to a town in which its residents behave out of character.
Quite an amusing situation especially the attention that Myka got from a resident.
Ooh what an ending with this episode with the Knock Knock.

Claudia:
Season 1, Epsiode 4.

Spoiler

The Claudia of the title kidnaps Artie in order for him to bring back her long lost brother who has been lost on another dimension as a result of an artifact-related experiment.
This back story into Artie's past was very interesting.

Missed episode 3.
Episode 4 was not bad. Reasonable character development and I too like the development of some of Artie's backstory.
Am also liking the slightly serialised structure of the show, with some events being left unexplained until a later episode. Hope that continues.

My only problem with the show so far has been the advertising. On the UK sci-fi channel they have been billing it as a cross between Ghostbusters and the X-files. It's clearly not in the same league as x-files and compairing them is uneccessary and mis-leading in my opinion.
