I find it nice fun. But it's Eureka-lite, so that sets expectation. It rarely gets 100% of my attention for the hour.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would like it better if Pete weren't such a dumbassed child. His incessant need to fuck with shit would drive me crazy. Especially in light of the fact that when he does that it ends BADLY!

I somehow find him endearing. Though his romance is @@

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
right? She was on Defying Gravity in one of the worst roles I have ever seen for a Latina actress in the modern era. So my opinion might be affected by that, but at least she's better here.

I hated her so much in Defying Gravity I find it hard to get past that here.

I'm not grading on a high standard, and yeah, normally do other stuff while watching. One thought: Helen is a really hot villain. But (and I may have said this before) absolutely zero gained by making her H.G. Wells. Nothing would have been lost making her Helen Wells a Victorian era warehouse agent gone bad. (She could even have been related to H.G. Wells.
Also: to me no chance now of canonical sex between her and Myka. Myka is not going to go for an unreformed mass murderer.

That explains a lot.
The Defying Gravity connection, that is. Warehouse 13 just makes stuff up for all the historical figures they mention, afaIc, so why not Wells?

A) Because it contributes nothing to the plot
B) Because they are normally tossed off explanations of artifacts as opposed to this case where the made up stuff is a description of a continuing character.
