Welcome... to Warehouse 13
So I ordered Warehouse 13 on DVD from The Hut and after waiting for three or four weeks and sending a few emails on the lateness of its delivery, I finally gave up, cancelled my order and paid a few pounds more to get it from a shop in town today. At had really worked my hopes up for this series after finding out its links with Eureka and from the first two episodes, especially the pilot I can say I'm pleased with the writers. They've done an awesome job on the show.
Warehouse 13 is a show that follows two main characters; United States Secret Service agents Myka Bering and Peter Lattimer who, in the pilot episode are approached by a woman in their respective homes and told to go to South Dakota and wait there as they are being reassigned to the government's secret Warehouse 13 facility.
Upon arriving at the place they were ordered to, they realise it is in the middle of nowhere and is a huge, none-descript warehouse with one door and they quickly meet up with the man currently working at the facility, the eccentric Dr. Arthur "Artie" Nielsen. He beings to explain the the function of the warehouse to them and immediately Myka has a dislike of the situation. She attempts to get transferred back and is told that she will be there indefinitely. This is confirmed after an incident with a ferret which will make more sense if you watch it yourselves.
It is explained that this warehouse was the idea of some of the greatest minds in history and that every item that possesses an ability or energy that cannot be explained must be found and contained at this facility. Everything from Houdini's wallet to a magic kettle and many, many more artifacts are kept here.
The thing that I found most striking about the plot of this show is the explanation of these seemingly magical devices. Rather than leaving the origins of these items up to, simply that; magic, it is explained that humans are always capable of learning more. And many, many things in this world cannot be explained by our current knowledge. Of course, as our minds progress, more and more things can be removed from the Warehouse as we discover they are not a threat to us. But until that day comes, we must be protected from these mysterious forces.
There is an immediate feeling in the show that there is something we haven't been told as with every good drama and this just makes it all the more watchable.
There are many reasons you should give this show a chance, everything from the likeability of the characters for all their unique strengths and flaws to the endless possibilites of the artifacts within the Warehouse. Not forgetting their perfect and brilliant implementation of history into their storylines, drawing on interesting historical figures and ideas. This is a smart show, much like Eureka and I really think SyFy are onto a winner with this one. It combines all the elements for a good supernatural investigative drama and I can't wait to carry on watching. In fact that's what I'll do right now. Anyone who reads this, trust me, you should watch it and kudos to SyFy and the writers of their awesome shows.
G'night all.
