Breaking radio silence for Warehouse 13

[st_aurafina]

Tonight's Warehouse 13 was pretty obviously made for me, me, me.

Because flashbacks! And Helena inna waistcoat! And Ianto was there, and he was called Woolly and he was deliciously dorky and their boss was evil and Helena's brother had nearly no chin! And, and, and... *gasps*

And there must be only one Victorian era set in Vancouver, because that has to be where they shoot Sanctuary, and every five seconds I expected Helen Magnus to walk past.

If that's the pilot for the alleged Warehouse 12 spin-off, I will be a very, very, very happy pumpkin.

Oh, god, that last scene. With Myka, and the regret and the things unsaid and the feeling of loss and, and, oh.

I just love this show beyond measure. I really hope it survives - I don't know how well it rates in comparison to Eureka (which was just axed) but I hope it's enough to keep it on the air because it makes me so happy.

Reportedly, they're close to a deal to renew Warehouse 13 for S4. I hope that's good news. :)

[st_aurafina]

Oh, that is very good news! *crosses fingers and toes and knees and elbows*

This is such a great freaking show. I have never wanted to cosplay anyone in my life as much as I want to cosplay Helena Wells now (though having never cosplayed, I guess that's not saying much). I would just need a Myka. And a British accent.

Is it just my femslash goggles, or does Helena only ever seem to flirt with women? I mean, there's the part where she makes out with Pete, and the part where apparently she's slept with every guy in England except for Oscar Wilde, but the first is manipulation and the second is telling, not showing. She flirts with Myka and she was definitely flirting with that girl at the party before she left. I love it.

does Helena only ever seem to flirt with women?

Well, I don't particularly have femslash goggles, and I see it too.

[clare_dragonfly]

Awesome :D

[st_aurafina]

Helena doesn't seem to flirt with men at all, for all Woolly was all "You and all the men of England except Oscar Wilde!" She was definitely flirting with that girl at the party. *is happy about this*

That was a pretty awesome episode; especially, I agree, the last scene.

Not!Ianto made me happy, too, partly just to see Gareth David-Lloyd looking well. In his last couple of seasons as Ianto he looked neither well nor happy. Anyway, I'd so watch the adventures of HG and Woolly.

However, I do have to add that I cringed every time they referred to Sir Arthur Eddington as "Sir Eddington." Dear script writers: do your research. (And that's even leaving aside the fact that the historical Arthur Eddington was 10 in 1893.)

The historical parts made me very very happy.

And there are Warehouse 12 rumours?? I must have missed those, but YAY!!

[st_aurafina]

Apparently SyFy greenlit a pilot based around HG as a free agent - a steampunky, Victorian-era type show? You can read about it here.

I was all like IANTOOOOOOOO for a good deal of it. Please, please, please give them a show. And then some time travel for makeouts with Myka, mmmkay?

[st_aurafina]

Poor Ianto! At least all the suit fetishists will be happy, seeing him in Victorian get-up.

And then some time travel for makeouts with Myka, mmmkay?

Ooooh, yes please. I can definitely handle Myka as future girlfriend.

I read your fic before watching this, and I was like, oooh yay! st_aurafina got it soooo right! And that last scene. ;_; It was such a good episode. Also, I love watching HG flirt with all the women (but apparently the only man she hasn't charmed is Oscar Wilde, hahaha).

[st_aurafina]

but apparently the only man she hasn't charmed is Oscar Wilde, hahaha

I loved that bit! I'll bet they got along really well, though not in a romantic way. They're both so snarky and sharp.
