Warehouse 13 Episode 1x01 - Grading & Discussion

Fun. And the Edison car later ran with only the boss at the wheel; maybe he was just trying to get her involved by telling a little white lie ;).

Now if only Syfy would pick up The Middleman ... ;)
 
Eh..I'll tell y'all when it lost me. When the three of 'em are toolin' around in the electric car for the tour of the warehouse, and she let go of the handle, and the car stopped.

Then its explained that all three of them have to hold on to the handle bar to make the car run.

So, what? Dude has just kept the car in storage waitin' for two other folks to show up so he can drive 'round the warehouse? And why just three? Seems really arbitrary...

Would it go faster if there were four of 'em in the car?

The car ran with two people holding on to the bar. Later, at the end, it ran without anyone holding on to the bar after a battery was hooked up (they showed the caretaker hooking it up).
 
I have about an hour to kill... I think I'm gonna watch this. (not the whole thing apparently)

Is Rockne S. O'Bannon staying with the show? He's awesome.

I think it was pretty good, although I don't think it needed a full two hours for the pilot. It got a little drawn out. Hopefully it'll keep up, although with Eureka coming back I'll have other things to watch.
 
Re: the car. My assumption was that it takes one person's energy to carry one person's weight. So one person can run the car alone. But three people all need to be "powering" the car or there isn't enough juice to move all three people.

I said in a previous post (look up ^), when the caretaker drove the care by himself he hooked up a battery (they showed him do it).
 
Just adding that I liked it too! Cast was great, although I can't tell if Myka is hot or not. She looks good, but is she hot? The dude Pete, he is cool. Totally reminds me of myself, from the way he is, to his Father, to "having the vibe" (don't know what that really means but I do feel it), to alot of stuff so I liked him. Then seeing Fajo in it was great! Can't remember the actors name, so I kept telling my woman that he was Fajo. And finally seeing Claudette Wymms from The Shield that was a pleasant surprise!

Myka (Joanne Kelly) is hot!

Fajo (Artie) is Saul Rubinek.
 
I thought it was enjoyable enough to turn in again. I think it would have been better received had it been shorter; it was a bit drawn out.

It's sort of one of those things were I watched it "just cuz." It was good enough to hold my interest, but if there's any real drop in quality (which often happens from pilots to episodes), I'll probably tune out.

One thing, the dialog was very Jane Espenson ... For whatever that's worth.

I agree. Condensing it down to a one hour pilot would have made it more exciting.

I was getting that vibe at the end. I hope it doesn't go down that road.

Well, she's okay in small doses.

She had some of the funnier exchanges on "Buffy."

But here BSG stuff didn't do much for me. Of course, by the time she was with the show, I was pretty much only watching it out of pity.

AFA the avatar. I actually used to have one with the hammers walking. But I couldn't find it anywhere. I checked all my backup CDs (well most of them) and didn't see it. Even tried a Google with no luck. I'm hoping I can find it by December. (30th anniversary.)

While I haven't seen the show yet, I just have to say that's a pretty faulty argument as you're ignoring the weight of the car. If two people can power the car, then obviously that's enough to carry the weight of two people plus the car. Since the car's weight will stay the same, the more people you add the fewer people (compared to the whole) will be needed to power it.
 
It was an okay start. Not the best but far from the worst. Pretty much the consensus here. I'm reminded of Eureka. It had a better start IMO but still did not show you just how much potential the series really held to be good.
 
It was boring. It was like a remake of Friday the 13th the series without the devil or Jack Marshak. They grab artifacts and return them to a Vault/Warehouse. They were in Vancouver again. Standard cheap scifi shit (oh, I mean SyFy shit). I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, maybe something exciting. A show like this needs at least one charismatic lead. The guy running the warehouse is not enough.
 
Was this shot in Toronto? Because I'm pretty sure I've been in the room where the Italian Professor had his office. :lol:

The Scifi channel combined with wet streets in the "D.C." scene just makes me assume the Vancouver area. Did the Syfy channel find a new Canadian location?

Again, this is a non-debate. They specifically showed him hooking up a car battery to the vehicle the second time he used it.
