  • Music to Rob a bank by?

    1.0
    "Abysmal"
    I repeat my review of the pilot and add something new at the end...

    Thinking that the show would entertain me was the first thing wrong with this show....(spoiler alert)

    The female character is annoyingly butch and b**chy
    The male character is such a man w*ore to all women he sees, did we really need the assertion of his manhood within the first 5 minutes of the show?

    The scientist character is beyond annoying, but that's the actor's fault - he's a bad actor in a bad role.

    The show is nothing more that Friday the 13th the Series with a very-low sci-fi (pardon me) syfy twist to it.

    I don't see the show going more than 1-2 years at best...they have to pump up the scripts, clean up the characters and add more SCI-FI to the show and leave the human drama out of it...

    Episode 2: What the deuce? Musical genius creates music to rob a bank and the people around him are the culprit - you didn't need spidey sense to see that this episode - like the pilot was 30 minutes too long...and all the background drama of the characters only made it seem as long as the original pilot. I had hoped for something more from this show...but it's got to kick in soon or it's going to be deleted from my DVR settings!

    p.s. you don't need the warehouse for the record...break it and destroy the files...leave room in the warehouse for a Tardis to travel back in time and re-write this crap!moreless

  • Ok...

    This episode was ok. I was certainly kept wondering about the nature of the artifact. I just don't get how the song had the effect; I mean, yeah the acoustics thing makes sense; but when has ANY song done anything close to what that song did? Not many, although I do get choked up when listening to certain love songs (You belong with HER, damn it!) All in all, a pretty ok episode. I don't think it was the best of the series, but what the hey? It's the second episode.

    On a completely unrelated note, the sixth Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book comes out October 12th. "And Another Thing..." by Eion Colfer.moreless

  • Better than the first

    8.0
    "Great"
    This episode was definetely better than the first, more believable things to it.
    The story was captivating, interesting and actually dramatic, not way too inventive like the first one.
    I started to like more Myka's character that in the first episode was kinda annoing, i think she is like Olivia in Fringe, you starting liking little by little.
    I'm waiting for the next episode and i hope is better than this, so eventually the serie will become very good and enjoyable to watch.
    Nice suspense about the hacker too, cant wait to find out who is wanting to know more about the warehouse 13.moreless

  • Interesting idea.

    I suppose this could be a plausible concept. But that isn't the point.

    We're still too early in the series to accurately rate this show as a whole. I'm being conservative in my ratings. I will need something big to make me give it a 10, so because I am sci-fi starved, I will stick to 7s and 8s unless an episode makes me start rolling my eyes.

    I think I prefer more serious sci-fis with comedy written in, rather than a comedy sci-fi that is trying to be serious however. It seems to work better, and it also seems to last more.

    Trying to be too comedic and light and fluffy off the bat, tends not to last too long as a show.moreless

  • Strange but sad

    8.5
    "Great"
    Second episode and I feel it's a winner. The whole using music to rob a bank was strange, but well, in science fiction anything is possible. The thing is that in the end, we learn it was for a good cause. The main characters continue to amaze me. Pete is strong and I just loved how in this episode he tried to make Myka see the real thing even when he's known her for a few weeks, months. And well, this episode is mostly about Myka and how she suffers from what it looks like a sad childhood. Her comment to Pete about it was very interesting. Let's see where it takes her.

    Artie and his journey of finding out who was hacking his computer was hilarious. Having Tricia Helfer on the show was great, her personality is overwhelming. Although she was too dressed up for an FBI agent...

    Good episode, keep them coming.moreless
