Warehouse 13: The Pilot

[bewareofgeek]

I saw this last night, and while my memories are fresh, I wanted to get my thoughts down:

• Bonus points for the steampunky gadgets, but not many, because they were basically window dressing.
• The actor playing the male lead was definitly channeling his inner David Boreanz.
• In some ways, the episode was better than the script I read online, but the subplot with the host of the dead partner was cut so much, it should have been left out completely.
• We probably didn't need quite so many shots of Artie huffing & puffing his way back to his office.
• Lucrezia Borgia gets ill-used _again_.
• X-Files + Bones + Friday the 13th: The Series = Warehouse 13.

In general, while it didn't grab me as quickly as The Middleman did, it's probably worth watching another episode or two.
