Now the pair — off-the-cuff Agent Pete Lattimer and by-the-book Agent Myka Bering — must chase down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects for their eccentric new boss, Artie Nielsen, to safeguard at the Warehouse.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bag it, tag it March 4, 2010

By E. A Solinas HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

Combine "The X-Files" with Indiana Jones and add a dash of "Sanctuary," and voila -- you have "Warehouse 13."

Yeah, Sci-fi/SyFy's latest series isn't exactly the most original or unique show out there, but it is strangely endearing. After a round of rather generic standalone episodes, this series bounces off once it introduces a main villain and a plot arc -- and while there's little romantic chemistry, the lead characters are a likable bunch with some nicely handled character development.

After a weird incident involving an assassin and an Aztec bloodstone, Secret Service agents Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) and Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock) are summoned to a run-down warehouse in the South Dakota badlands. An eccentric agent called Artie (Saul Rubinek) informs them that this is Warehouse 13, which holds dangerous and bizarre "artifacts" -- and their new assignment is to collect and neutralize new artifacts.

Among the problems they encounter: a young man possessed by a strange Italian power, bank robberies using music, a teleportation experiment gone wrong, a device that channels enough energy to fry people to a crisp, a katana that can slice through light, a mirror that switches Myka with a malevolent creature, and a prison whose occupants are driven to madness by the ghosts of their pasts. But the most dangerous problem is a former agent of the Warehouse, who is now determined to grab the artifacts for his own purposes -- and destroy Artie and the others as well.

Despite being pretty derivative of "The X-Files" at times (skeptical strict female agent paired with quirky wild card), "Warehouse 13" has a pretty brilliant concept -- basically it's about a place that seals away any dangerous historical artifacts.... Among the artifacts: Poe's pen, Lewis Carroll's mirror, a Studio 54 disco ball (which plays "I Will Survive" when disturbed) the Tesla gun, a giant steampunky computer and a wishing kettle that produces ferrets.

The stories are a solid blend of action, grimy sci-fi (the warehouse is a pretty bleak-looking place), and a bit of comedy on the side (one of the Important Artifact-Seeking Questions is, "Do you smell fudge?"). While the first few episodes are rather generic one-offs, the plots become tighter and more intense about halfway through -- and the addition of the sociopathic MacPherson and the Regents adds a new level of potential to the arc storyline.

Downsides? The dialogue can be painfully cool-kiddish at times, especially when Claudia is being annoyingly self-referential ("Couldn't any genius whiz-kid?"). And the romantic chemistry between Kelly and McClintock is almost nil.

But Kelly and McClintock make a solid supernatural-detective duo -- he's a quirky pop-culture-loving weirdo (although I just can't see him as a Secret Service agent) with a weakness for cookies, while her almost-fanatical devotion to rules/plans is explained by a tragic personal loss. Allison Scagliotti does a good job as the erratic "whiz-kid," although her character can be annoying. But Saul Rubinek is the ruling force in this series -- a quirky, gruff, antisocial man who is haunted by the many agents lost in pursuit of artifacts. He's absolutely brilliant.

"Warehouse 13 Season 1" is pretty derivative at times, but it's also strangely endearing and quite fun. The best part is, it seems to be getting better with time. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent,very fun series. October 4, 2009

By William N. Kristman

Format:DVD

Series about the caretakers of a secret warehouse that contains special items put away by the government for safe keeping (think of the warehouse in Indiana Jones movies).
There is a caretaker and a male and female agent who go out to retrieve new items.
The characters have excellent chemistry right from the start and a lot of fun and some seriousness ensues.
The items themselves and their properties ,when mixed with the characters,makes the show really special and sometimes hilarious.
A conspiracy arc develops involving another character or 2 later in the season.
Rewatch value is high in this show.
I can hardly wait for season 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars Action, Intrigue, Unique Twists & a Hint of Romance September 4, 2009

By Ambishz1

Format:DVD

This show is part X Files, part National Treasure, from action, to intrigue, to twists to the way this team of Secret Service agents interacts and plays off of one another. It is engaging and unique. I look forward to it weekly on the SyFy Channel and can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neat November 24, 2009

By Zeke

It's a pretty good show for the sci-fi nerds like myself. I love the humor and the way the characters play off each other. I really like that the special effects don't look cheesy like some of the shows from the Sci Fi channel. I just wish that they would hurry up and get the second season out.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Pilot Episode! Recommended For SciFi (or is that SyFy) Fans August 4, 2009

By C. F. Hill HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER

Amazon Verified Purchase

Warehouse 13 has a lot of potential, as shown in this very enjoyable pilot episode. I think of this somewhat along the lines of X-Files meets Indiana Jones, in that you have two Secret Service agents investigating paranormal events, and are based out of the warehouse that bares a lot of resemblance to the one at the end of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (Special Edition).

There is a good bit of humor in this episode and the casting works fairly well, with the by the book Myka offset by the loose cannon Pete. I hope SyFy give this series a change to gel.

Recommended for fans of the genre.

3.0 out of 5 stars Warehouse 13..or revamped take on The Librarian...? March 30, 2010

By PenSaid

Format:DVD

Like many, I was truly looking forward to the start of this series.
I saw the 3 TNT Librarian movies not long before Syfy began pushing the WH13 promos: The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice, The Librarian - Quest for the Spear & The Librarian - Return to King Solomon's Mines.
I loved the movie trilogy and felt the heavens were really smiling on me by giving me a tv show to continue their tradition.
I'm just pointing all this out to show how I was so perfectly positioned to fall in love with Warehouse 13.

Sadly, all that promise came to nothing!
For the reviewer who said the leads did not inspire rooting...I rooted for them anyway. I actually began to grudgingly give a fig about the main characters. This did not extend to the later-introduced psycho-stalker-techie nerd-cool-young/hip-ANNOYING-Claudia.

I gave the show every opportunity to rise above its swirling cloud of mediocrity. I reminded myself that even Eureka (especially Eureka: Season 3.5) had downright dreary, who-cares days. I waited patiently for someone to write an actual cohesive series of events to replace what appeared to be random wandering through half-developed ideas and story lines. I valiantly watched the entire season, stifling the urge to reach into the screen and tidy up the rather confused warehouse (which was also physically untidy)....
It actually felt like the show was meant to be a one-off mini-series, or something, and everyone - actors and writers - went through each episode as though it would be canceled at any moment.

Sadly, at the end of season 1, I felt as drained of goodwill as I had been with the ill-fated relaunched Bionic Woman - Volume One. (I actually heaved a sigh of relief when that one was canceled as it freed me from what I felt was my duty to support anything to do with the classic show in particular, and science fiction in general.)

Again, sadly, I would probably feel the same relief if Warehouse 13 were canceled, because I DID watch it to the bitter end, lest I miss out on THE MOMENT...you know, the one on which Simon Cowell continually harps.
WH13 should at least get a MAJOR overhaul before returning.
It's such a GREAT concept....how did it manage to not achieve its potential?

Before voting on my review, please note that I WANTED it to succeed... I still do. Watch the TNT-Made Librarian Movies, and you'll have an idea what I was expecting it to live up to, or even surpass. And there's nothing wrong in calling for growth, especially in a new series. (My attempt to not get completed voted down, but oh well....)

I firmly believe that there are more than even 13 great episodes wandering around somewhere in that disheveled warehouse, trying to find a map. Or a broom. Or a writer to think at least 5 episodes ahead.
I just hate that I am dreading its return...'cause you know I'll be watching every episode regardless of my review.

Waiting for that MOMENT. Read more ›
