She's had too much collagen injected inter her top lip.

He's just doing a David Boreanaz impression and mistakes squinting with acting.

If this is the new SyFy, I want the old Sci Fi back.

Hearing about this series just makes me pine for The Lost Room.

A similar concept, and opportunity for an "object of the week," but the sheer randomness of what each object did, combined with the very Stephen King-y way that the object cult was introduced would have made for an amazing ongoing series.

the kind of show Syfy does well: light, goofy fun with characters who are recognizeable archetypes and situations that are a little bit spooky without being loss-of-bodily-functions terrifying.

Doesn't that imply that SyFy should have picked up Middleman second series?

Ya know what would make this show better? If the story was about the janitor who has to clean up the warehouse every night, and borrows a few items for fun.

Sorry for the aixelsyd dyslexia comment. Anyway moving on to the show, can't wait to see it, deffinately looks fun, kind of a cross between Middleman, Xfiles, and Friday the 13th. (I think that's the name of the show) Going around re-aquiring dark magic/cursed items.

Warehouse 13, from Farscape's Rockne O'Bannon

SERIOUSLY THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY. I'M SOLD.

Why didn't I know that sooner? Farscape is by far my favourite television series.

@Pope John Peeps II: Looking in imdb, it looks like O'Bannon cowrote the pilot with Jane Espenson. And when the show was first picked up, people were referring to it as "Rockne O'Bannon's Warehouse 13". But it looks like he may not have had any further involvement with it after the pilot. He created the show and then left. The actual day-to-day producer is former Buffy scribe Drew Z. Greenberg.

@Charlie Jane Anders: Oh well.... I guess that's why they aren't touting the O'Bannon connection. But the greenberg connection sounds pretty reliable.
