I think that will be less an issue next season, as all the characters have been more or less introduced and are settled into their positions. Unlike other posters, I don't insist that EVERY single show be a hard-boiled science fiction show. I like this show because of the very interesting premise, all the great actors and the great chemistry that the actors all share. They clearly like working together. There's so much angst outside - nice to have a show I can just enjoy. I just wish we didn't have to wait until NEXT SUMMER for new episodes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131853970622869920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-40678917599162058162009-08-30T19:16:26.892-04:002009-08-30T19:16:26.892-04:00And Eddie McClintock who plays Lattimer?

We're all educated and responsible adults here, or so I hope.<br />I have no doubt you wrote a great novel, but I cannot say anything about it because I haven't read it. I'll take a closer look at the reviews, and eventually take time to read it some day.<br />But until then, let's stick to the subject at hand [and not mix apples & oranges]... Warehouse 13 versus similar sci-fi TV shows...<br />And yes, I've looked a bit through your blog, looks like you've watched *lots* of good sci-fi films and reviewed quite a few, but the keyword here is "similar sci-fi TV shows", and IMO we [I for that matter] were discussing strictly science fiction television series that touch themes similar to the ones in Warehouse 13. Nothing more, nothing less. I have not made any references to similar films, literature, comics, games or other media [and please don't get me started, because I've read more sci-fi literature than most people I know, and I've watched more sci-fi films and TV shows than anyone I know... ;)].<br />Also, I have not seen any reviews at your blog about any of the sci-fi TV series I've mentioned before, therefore unless you actually watched any/some of them, you cannot possibly express a properly informed opinion about TV shows like Warehouse 13.<br />That's all.<br /><br />But hey, it's your blog, and obviously you are sticking to your point of view, no matter what I've been saying.<br /><br />Good luck and best wishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289595359432630118.post-38624746799781334722009-08-03T17:05:42.043-04:002009-08-03T17:05:42.043-04:00I am enjoying the show thus far, though it does re...I am enjoying the show thus far, though it does remind me of the show Friday the 13th the series. That was the one who had the old grandfather (or some old guy) trying to get evil antiques back to his store or something. Anyway, I am enjoying the show, however does it seem like they skipped a few episodes somewhere?

There's a lot of potential for some good science fiction and fantasy storytelling. I just hope Syfy keeps it around. The ratings seem pretty good, so there's hope. I have a feeling this series will lean more on the fantasy side, though, with Indiana Jones type relics rather than scientifically plausible objects. But for some good science-fiction based plots, Syfy's Eureka is still the show to catch. And speaking of Asimovian, my own blog entry today (07/27/2009) is about Isaac Asimov. http://nickleshi.blogspot.comNick Leshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735641810049227247noreply@blogger.com
