HYGOTS No. 47
September 4th, 2009
It would hardly be appropriate to at least lead off a column with such a number without mentioning Star Trek, so it’s a good thing that I have a good excuse to do so. Now that the season has ended at the box office (recognized as being from May to August), it’s time for the second annual HYGOTS review of summer 2009’s genre film experience.
Quick Review: Warehouse 13, “Regrets”
September 3rd, 2009
This was easily the worst episode of Warehouse 13 to date. Neither the main story with Pete and Myka nor the side story involving Claudia and Artie were at all interesting and by the time the episode ended I had all but tuned out. Once again, an actor from another Syfy series — Eureka‘s Joe Morton — had a guest spot and, once again, added nothing to the episode. There just wasn’t anything compelling, nothing to hold my attention and nothing I really care to write about.
Quick Review: Warehouse 13, “Duped”
September 1st, 2009
I really enjoyed this episode, despite the fact that on the surface it seemed to be a rehash of a plot used in plenty of other television shows (not to mention movies and books) and didn’t live up to its potential. The episode guest starred Erica Cerra and Niall Matter from Syfy’s Eureka, making it the third episode to include an actor or actress from another Syfy show (after Battlestar Galactica‘s Tricia Helfer in “Resonance” and Stargate: Atlantis‘s Joe Flanigan in “Elements”). Once again, I can’t say I was all that impressed with these special guest stars, and I’m a big fan of Erica Cerra. Their characters were simply too undeveloped and underutilized to add anything to the episode.
