> This is the one part of the show that I don’t like. Unlike similar shows, there’s no consistent mythology with regards to the origin of the objects. Heck, usually there isn’t really any explanation at all. Some sort of pseudoscience over supernatural background is implied but never really explored. The premiere implies that there is some universal explanation, since the anti-object goo would seem to require all the objects to have the same basis for working. But that explanation is never explored.

The goo might just be another magical thing that they don’t understand that, however, they’ve discovered seems to nullify most other objects for a while.

The premiere did specifically say that everything in the Warehouse was put there -because- they don’t have any way to understand how the stuff works and so are afraid to use it.

The Jubilee Grand, I believe.

I am sure that’s what they’re referencing, but I’m pretty sure the name given in the episode was the Jubilee Grand.
