I saw that crate on KIngs last week.
I liked the steampunk gear, but I noticed that the nice keyboard was matched with a modern monitor with a brand name. Made me wonder if they had a nice monitor mod to go with the keyboard, but got stuck with a forced product placement.
SOmething like the communicator screens with a wood and brass frame would indeed have been far more cool.
And the Men in Black were just immigration officers.
So…what was the show in the 90s where a group of people had to track down “evil” objects to protect humanity? I know it was named after a movie that it didn’t remotely resemble, so either Friday the 13th or Poltergeist the Legacy. Any way, this show reminds me of that.
Drat, I’ve noticed that the older guy seems to open the right side of his mouth wider than the left. This is going to bother me now (and so I share it.)
Of course if this was House, it would be an indication that he has lupus.
FYI - it’s currently free on I-Tunes
I’m glad someone tracked down that Warehouse 23 site. I’ve used that before for creative writing ideas for my high school English class. Their minds were collectively blown.
It reminds me of the Holders Series.
From the way the In-Charge lady keeps appearing in other people’s offices/homes, I bet that some of the artifacts are getting weaponized and/or utilized by the government in some way…perhaps in Warehouse 14?
So is the B&B lady the In-Charge lady’s daughter? Or just a friend of Scientist guy? She seemed to know what was going on…
The facts that they kept talking about artifacts made me think of Eureka, which was funny since they showed about 20 commercials for it during this show. Hey, maybe they send the artifacts to Global Dynamics to get weaponized? 
That was exactly what I thought, too! I was a little disappointed when it didn’t show up.
In the same crate as the Charter, actually. There is a shot of two seraphimwith their wings facing each other.
The show is also available via Comcast on Demand.
Liked it enough to set up to watch the second episode (yay TiVo).
I like the historical referents, and the sense that all may not be what it appears. I’m getting to like the female agent (now that her expressions have grown past the bug-eyed, severe lips stare). I’ll give this one a chance.
It’s not astoundingly original, but it will be interesting to see where they go.
Can’t help thinking that Artie (the Saul Rubinek character) would make a great Doctor Who.
I liked it (well, I have 50 minutes of it to go yet). I don’t see where it’s “formulaic,” but then I never watched X-files regularly, and Eureka seems kinda boring to me (hubby likes it, but any time I’ve watched, it seems there’s a whole lot of talk and very little action). I’ve never seen anything like it on tv. I go for occult-type stuff, and this seems like it has a lot of potential in that regard, and it has a lot of room for tweaking in case it doesn’t get decent ratings. Oh, and yes, when Artie showed them the warehouse, I had the same thought: “oh, that’s where the Ark of the Covenant is!” I’ll keep watching.
What was the name of the program where the strange stores in the tabloids were true? It was named after the paper on the show, “The Star” or “The Globe” or whatever.
Dunno, but in the Men in Black movie they said that the tabloids were accurate, investigative reporting.
Friday the 13th inside Fringe via Indiana Jones. I like all three of those, so I’ll watch again.
Thanks!
