TV Alert: Tricia Helfer shows up on "Warehouse 13" tonight

by

I finally caught the pilot episode of Warehouse 13 Friday and was pleasantly surprised.

To be honest, I tried to watch the new Syfy (lower case “f,” please) pilot earlier in the week and it didn’t grab me. I’m sure glad I gave it another go.

Warehouse 13 is sort of a cross between The X-Files and Eureka, with a dash of Lost. thrown in for good measure.

It has the hot-investigators-with-chemistry factor similar to Scully and Mulder, but with the lighter sort of weirdness that makes Eureka so much fun to watch. And like TV’s most famous island, “America’s Attic” is peripatetic.

 

Intrigued? You can watch the two-hour first episode at hulu.com. And you might want to do that today so you can be caught up when tonight’s episode airs. Why? Two words: Tricia Helfer.

 

 

Tonight’s episode, “Resonance,” guest stars Helfer and trust me, that woman can rock a power suit. Here’s a clip.

 

Warehouse 13 airs Tuesday 9 p.m. ET on Syfy; episodes are posted to Hulu the next day.

Have you watched Warehouse 13? What do you think? Does Helfer give you added incentive to watch?

    And I kinda hated it, to be honest... so no, don't think I will continue watching. Even if Tricia Helfer guest stars...

    Did you watch the whole thing?

    I didn't like it at first, either, but kind of got into it when it got to the "mystery" part. I'm hoping for that kind of thing in future eps.

    I did watch the whole thing. But it just didn't draw me in, which is weird, cause I usually love these kind of shows...

    There's nothing heavy about it.  It's fun.  It's fantasy. 

    First, there are the characters. The two leads have great chemistry and I hope they just let the relationship develop organically instead of manipulating it into a romance, when it doesn't need to be.  As time goes on, I hope we'll find out more about the mysterious Mrs Fredrich. ( I love CCH Pounder).  Why, up until now, has it been only Artie in Warehouse 13? And how hot is Leena?  

    Imagine what worlds and times can be explored with all the artifacts that are stored in Warehouse 13. The possiblilties are endless.

    I do like the retro hightech gadgets, but it just feels like a recycled version of Friday the Thirteenth: The Series.

    I'll watch a few more episodes, but if it doesn't start getting deeper, I'm out.

    The second episode was definately better than the pilot. And not just because of Tricia, though that certainly helped.
