Since no one else appears to be talking about it, I figure I'll get the ball rolling. I'll update the OP with more info later, but figure we might as well talk about the premiere and expectations for the series.
Based on the previews, I was pretty excited going in. Looked to be Warehouse 14 with a budget and a more Indiana Jones take on it. Actually seeing the show though ... not sure we can claim much regarding budget. Especially since this was the premiere, which typically sees better special effects. If anything, this almost feels like when Buffy switched networks. While I'm sure I'm remember Warehouse 13's FX as being better and more consistent than they really are, these were pretty lol-worthy. On the other hand, it did have a fair amount of location shots and the main set is pretty nice.
Regardless, I was more surprised that the script and acting where how can I say ... rough ... in places. As usual though, Christian Kane is a standout. While he's not really stretching in this role, I think he'll be the glue that holds things together with his deliveries. It's also great to see him coming back to a sci-fi role - he was always great as Lindsey on Angel. It kind of feels like a coming home as that was the role that introduced me to the actor. Props also go to John Larroquette with his deadpan. While he may be a dick in real life (from what I've read), the role definitely fits his snark.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see where this all goes. Plenty of shows have a rough start in terms of scripting and delivery ... but as the actors get more comfortable in their roles and working with each other, things improve a lot. Given the premise itself is quite interesting if unoriginal, and at least some of the characters already show promise ... I'm gonna give it a whirl.
Anyone else watch it?
