OK, you can sit there, and try an analyze this all you want.

But I was totally sold on this episode, simply based on the words:

LINDY BOOTH

They could have had Lindy read the darn phonebook, and I still would
have been entertained! ;p

A) It would almost have to be
2) It damn well better be

At this rate, I'm starting to look forward to the return of Sanctuary.

If "Sanctuary" brings 'Invisible Girl' back, I will *definitely* be
looking forward to it!!
'Horn Dog' fist bump

Yeesh.  Where do I start?

I *want* to like this series, but you can so clearly see the strings.

Yeesh. Where do I start?

I *want* to like this series, but you can so clearly see the strings.

Cute Bed & Breakfast girl now hangs out with Bob Newhart *why* exactly?
Other than everybody being tired of monologues. (because they wanted to
save money on the B&B sets)

I'm amazed Old Boss is a series regular; be interesting to see where
that goes.

Bob Newhart *must* have a teleporter, and yet why didn't he teleport
into Old Boss' office directly like Amanda Waller did? (because they
don't want to show the teleporting effect, and couldn't figure another
way to stage it)

Speaking of which, Amanda Waller was a credited guest star, but she
didn't show up did she?

Bianca Scully (literally) runs into the bank robbery in progress, and
tries to beat up all three bad guys with her bare hands. Again, SHOOT
SOMEBODY. (Yes, later we find out they're warm and fuzzy bad guys you
don't want to shoot, but there was no reason not to shoot them at the
time.)

Same notation for the escape; bunch of FBI and Homeland Security agents
having a bank robber stolen from them, and nobody pulls a gun?

Why didn't Bob Newhart just shoot Old Boss with the harmless memory
erasing Zat gun? (I bet we never hear about the memory erasing again)

Why do Our Hero and Biana Scully only have one communicator between
them? Are there only two of those communicators total?

Our Hero and Biana Scully take the record and let the bad guys go. Um,
hello? That record IS A COPY. They've got THE MASTER TAPES SITTING IN
THOSE BOXES RIGHT THERE.

Why didn't the bad guys just use the record to get the tapes away from
the record producer, instead of robbing banks to buy them? He wouldn't
even have to KNOW THEY WERE GONE - just leave the empty boxes behind.

If the bad guys didn't have the composers work, and nobody could get IN
it to steal it, how did they have that never released record in the
first place?

Given that the FBI knows the identity of the recording engineer bank
robber, and even had him in custody, do we really think it will be that
long before they track the bad guys down? And find out that Our Heroes
let them go?

And given that the bad guys assaulted a bunch of FBI
agents, and the FBI thinks they still have the assault capability (which
they in fact do), somebody's gonna shoot first next time.

Since the B&B was located in the unnamed, unincorporated town (per the
sign "downtown" seven miles from the warehouse, I assumed from the
outset that everything there was affiliated with the
warehouse--including the B&B and Aura Girl. UUTown is like Eureka in
its off-the-map sense.

It's a kinder, gentler Secret Service.

Good question. Maybe Artie thinks that OB is more valuable on his side
than as a wiped, clueless bureaucrat.

Why do Our Hero and Biana Scully only have one communicator between
them? Are there only two of those communicators total?

Tiny vacuum tubes didn't grow on trees back in the early 1900s, you know...

Our Hero and Biana Scully take the record and let the bad guys go. Um,
hello? That record IS A COPY. They've got THE MASTER TAPES SITTING IN
THOSE BOXES RIGHT THERE.

I assumed that we're all supposed to assume that the master will be
secured somewhere, as well. Probably in the warehouse...

Why didn't the bad guys just use the record to get the tapes away from
the record producer, instead of robbing banks to buy them? He wouldn't
even have to KNOW THEY WERE GONE - just leave the empty boxes behind.

Another good question. The whole marble and resonance thing probably
wouldn't have worked in that storage area, but it certainly seemed less
secure than any of those banks. Heh.

If the bad guys didn't have the composers work, and nobody could get IN
it to steal it, how did they have that never released record in the
first place?

Presumably, since it was never released, it never made its way into the
possession of the Evil Record Executive in the first place, and our
good-hearted thieves liberated it from some other half-forgotten place.

Given that the FBI knows the identity of the recording engineer bank
robber, and even had him in custody, do we really think it will be that
long before they track the bad guys down? And find out that Our Heroes

The recording engineer will never crack, especially now that
waterboarding is not allowed. :)

And given that the bad guys assaulted a bunch of FBI
agents, and the FBI thinks they still have the assault capability (which
they in fact do), somebody's gonna shoot first next time.

I'm guessing that we're just supposed to forget about that recording
engineer or accept that he won't narc on his pals. And if he keeps
quiet, there's really nothing that would automatically lead the Fibbies
to assume that there were others from the record company involved.

After two episodes, I know that this will be a one season gem, just like
Sanctuary.

B) Sanctuary is a 'gem'???

It's not significantly different from those two "Librarian" movies that
aired on TNT with Noah Wyle (from ER as Dr. Carter) and Jane Curtin (from
SNL).

You mean the same "Sanctuary" that the SyFy channel is running ads for
its 2nd season? So if you are right we can be sure that "Warehouse 13"
will be back for a 2nd season, which seems reasonable based on the
ratings for the first 2 episodes.

Yep. Of course every time Biana Scully pulls her gun it gets kicked out
of her hand or turned against her, so maybe they just took it away. Or
took away her bullets like they did with Barney Fife.

Why didn't Bob Newhart just shoot Old Boss with the harmless memory
erasing Zat gun? (I bet we never hear about the memory erasing again)
Good question. Maybe Artie thinks that OB is more valuable on his side
than as a wiped, clueless bureaucrat.

That turns out to be the case, but when he first shot him with the
'makes you flat and black and white' gun, he still thought OB was the
hacker.

Why do Our Hero and Biana Scully only have one communicator between
them? Are there only two of those communicators total?
Tiny vacuum tubes didn't grow on trees back in the early 1900s, you know...

Heh. Seriously, I can't remember if they only had one in the pilot?

Our Hero and Biana Scully take the record and let the bad guys go. Um,
hello? That record IS A COPY. They've got THE MASTER TAPES SITTING IN
THOSE BOXES RIGHT THERE.
I assumed that we're all supposed to assume that the master will be

Then he really needed to SAY that. "We're going to have to take this . .
.. and any other copies" or "and the original" or - here's an idea - you
want to make the Bad Guys seem sympathetic? Have them OFFER the
original.

Why didn't the bad guys just use the record to get the tapes away from
the record producer, instead of robbing banks to buy them? He wouldn't
even have to KNOW THEY WERE GONE - just leave the empty boxes behind.
Another good question. The whole marble and resonance thing probably
wouldn't have worked in that storage area, but it certainly seemed less
secure than any of those banks. Heh.

Good point, although it worked by those elevators. Was that still in
the bank, or in a Federal building?

And of course they didn't have to use the record on the Evil Exec; a
good conk on the noggin would have done it.
If the bad guys didn't have the composers work, and nobody could get IN
it to steal it, how did they have that never released record in the

Presumably, since it was never released, it never made its way into the
possession of the Evil Record Executive in the first place, and our

No, Evil Record Executive (who showed no signs whatsoever of being evil
in any way, despite caregiver's claims) had all the recording stuff from
when they were fooling around trying to find the 'new sound'

Given that the FBI knows the identity of the recording engineer bank
robber, and even had him in custody, do we really think it will be that

Yeah, except now that they know who he is, how long will it be before
Seven of Twelve shows up at his old boss' place?

Despite all the little nit picking things that one can find wrong with
almost every show on TV today, I find the show enjoyable and fun to watch. I
hope it lasts for a while longer so that it can pick up a following. It
certainly isn't like all the other who-dun-it shows.

Or even the three Librarian movies.
