And just like that, my love of Warehouse 13 is over.
This show had so much going for it, but ruined the dynamic of the show by introducing a new recurring character, Claudia. I could initially excuse the cliche of adding a brilliant, disinterested emo kid, but the portrayal by the actress (who needs a voice coach to explain the difference in making sardonic comments and sounding like you’re vomiting in your mouth) was a major killing point. After talking to Ben, I started to become annoyed at the cliche as well, and now I’m just so full of disappointment that I can no longer watch.
As I said on twitter, it’s like they introduced their version of Scrappy-Doo waaaay too soon. The show didn’t need this extraneous character so soon; the cast was just beginning to take the show and run with it and now there’s this annoying young vomiter stinking up the Warehouse. If anything, what we needed to see was more of Leena, the mysterious, aura reading B&B proprietor. I mean, this cast boasts CCH Pounder for pete’s sake (no pun intended), and she gets fewer episodes than this Claudia? Not on my TV.

What does Warehouse 13 have? Great storylines? No, not really. Plausible storylines? Definitely not. Fantastic acting? Not even close.
But in all honesty, I can’t stop watching it. I replay each episode many times during the week and enjoy myself each time I watch. I guess it has just enough of many elements to be interesting and a little unique. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I do, but with each episode (not that they’re getting better), I find that I hope it makes the cut.
Weird. Maybe there’s an artifact in my attic making me act this way.

With the BS delay that Sci-Fi Syfy threw at us between airings, I guess we need to watch the marathon today just to know where we left off! Sheriff Carter had just been relieved of his duties I recall, so I guess we’ll get to see him in a little hot water as we return to Eureka.
I hope Eureka maintains its sense of fun because its cousin Syfy show Warehouse 13 has absolutely none at all. The two hour premiere was lacking in many ways and it will be interesting to see what kind of audience it retains/adds.
My summer guilty pleasure (well, pleasure it way too strong a word), Big Brother is back, too. I liked the premiere and I hope the brains take it all (of course)!
