This is a discussion post about the Warehouse 13 season finale and the season in general.  I feel compelled to warn you that if you’re a time-shifted viewer, you may wish to return after viewing the episode since I’ve included some generic references that could SPOIL it for you!

The season finale of Warehouse 13 continued the conflict between James MacPherson (Played by Roger Rees) and the Warehouse.  Though at times, I’m not sure if he’s ticked at Artie (Saul Rubinek), ticked about all the years on the job that he “wasted” or just wants to snag and sell artifacts.  (I think we know the answer to that last one!)

We were given some more background information on Artie and James and we got to see a few new cool artifacts in use.

I keep wondering after each weeks telecast of Warehouse 13 if I should wait, or keep reporting each new record the show breaks each week?

Syfy’s newest show has brought down the house of cards and has set another record.  The 6th episode of the fantasy TV series Warehouse 13 brought in 4.4 million viewers.  This makes it the most-watched regular series telecast in the 17-year history of the network.  Though I think last nights episode may put a damper in the ratings momentum.  From what I hear, many found it a bit drab.

Today we got news for you on a former Deadwood actor whose getting Lost this season; the gang at 24 are wondering if their eighth day will be their last; Syfy will be re-opening the doors to Warehouse 13 next season; Heroes has a new poster; Apollo plays in the Dollhouse; Star Wars will soon be on TV; and ABC gets room at Clive Barker’s Hotel.

All that, and we bid farewell to a TV News Legend (see above). Let’s get to it:

This week, we’re going to chat about a new website for Chuck, an award bestowed upon Doctor Who and a bit about Syfy dominating Tuesdays with Warehouse 13.  We also delve into some news about Burn Notice, Royal Pains & Dollhouse.

Some cast members have been added to Steven Spielberg’s unnamed alien pilot on TNT, we have an interesting tidbit on Disney and a quick, condensed look at last week’s Summer TV ratings.

Panel participants for the Warehouse 13 (WH13) Comic-Con panel event were writer David Simkins, showrunner Jack Kenny, newest member of the WH13 team – Allison Scagliotti, Saul Rubinek, Joanne Kelly and Eddie McClintock.

In my review of Syfy’s Warehouse 13 premiere, I said the advertising for the show did not do the show justice, and it had an excellent method of story telling to develop the story and the characters in a mature and compelling fashion.

This week, the second episode not only held up the quality of writing that the premiere did, but may have actually improved on the premiere.

The continued character development wasn’t overboard and they engaged the story of the week well while a new and mysterious issue presented itself in the background of it all. (What did happen to Artie?)

Saul Rubinek as Artie Nelsen, Joanne Kelly as Myka Bering, Eddie McClintock as Pete Lattimer

The short of it:  The advertising for Warehouse 13 did not do the show justice, but then, I’m not sure how they could have capitalized on an ad campaign for a show that had a decent, slow developing story line.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in this new show, Warehouse 13 (WH13) that is leading the newly renamed Syfy network programming charge.  They didn’t force feed us instant character development (there was plenty of conversational exchange that accomplished that) and story lines for the characters weren’t shoved in our face just for the sake of making things happen.

Everything progressed at a decent pace and I found myself engaged by the story the show was telling.

Will I be watching it next week?  Read on to find that out.

We originally reported on the television panels at San Diego Comic-Con ‘09, we knew about the Sci-Fi panels that were going to be present, we did not have specific times.

Now we do.

As would be expected, We’ll be seeing cast and crew from Stargate Universe, Caprica, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, Eureka, Sanctuary and Warehouse 13.

Warehouse 13 is Sci-Fi’s newest product that they’re giving a lot of advertising support to.

Sitting around watching the Sci-Fi (Soon to be SyFY) Channel I’ve noticed that the network is doing what they do best and that’s pummel the viewers with ads about the show repeatedly.

Warehouse 13 is about two Secret Service agents played by Eddie McClintock (Bones) and Joanne Kelly (Vanished, The Dresden Files) who get themselves transferred to a massive top-secret warehouse located in South Dakota.
