This ep. of Warehouse 13 wasn't the best, but I'd be lying if I said the other too were wildly different from it. It is just a mish-mash, hodge podge of other, better shows, but it's got some funny lines, and it's a nice little brainless summer show for me. There are flashes within episodes of the Buffy alums former genius, so I'm also hoping that as the season goes on the show will find it's sea legs, and will become genuinely entertaining instead of just kinda entertaining.
What, with the two leads bickering like school children the entire time.
The bickering WAS really out of control this episode. They bickered in the other ones, but not nearly this much. I like them better when they're working together and playing off of each other like at the end of the episode, so hopefully the childish bickering is coming to an end. Honestly, these are adults. I'm really getting tired of the depiction of adult!children in media. It's really not charming ... at all.
And then Leena shows up onscreen and I'm like WHOA! And she's not the lead because..?
I know. She's luminous. And is in the same thankless position as Astrid on Fringe. I'm not liking this trend of putting token black female characters onto shows so that they can be glorified maids. At least on Fringe, the characters act like adults. But when Leena is the only one who acts like a grown up on Warehouse 13, it's like I'd trust the fate of the world to her any day over these other idiots.
