Warehouse 13

Anyone been watching this first season of Warehouse 13 on Syfy? I kinda like it. I really love the steampunked items they use on the show.

Yeh, I have hit every show so far. The girl (can't remember her name) agent at first seemed way too "no way, this is crap, I didn't want this, this is stupid.....". But I think they were a little too forceful with that line of thinking for her character and realized it, because around the 3rd or 4th episode she all of a sudden doesn't mind doing the job much any more. All in all a decent show that I'm going to keep up with. (and I don't keep up with much on the tube anymore.)

I've watched a few episodes so far and I like it. Pretty good by SciFi channel standards, but it's no farscape or battlestar.

Also, they were very much 'inspired' by this, down to the name:

The wayback machine dates the site back to 1999, and I've know about it for a few years because of a prominent KoL clan of the same name.

Here's a similar site someone pointed out to me last year:

Very interesting. Wonder if the creators of the show read this site. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Took a gander at WhoIs.com to see when this first appeared...summery:

But, when I read the about us page, it didn't look like what the page is actually about. Well, the basement part. Looked at the home page, and it looks rather like what the aboutus is about. So what came first, the show or the basement page.

Yeah, the main site is a tabletop gaming company. If you check the internet archive you'll find that the basement part has been around just as long as the main site. The SciFi show was inspired by it, or by whatever inspired the warehouse23 site, such as Area 51.
