I want to like Warehouse 13, but the main characters are drawn with such a broad brush that they annoy me. They are such stock characters - uptight, by the book agent paired with wacky, irresponsible intuitive agent - they fight crime!
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Warehouse 13: I also thought "serendipity's my stripper name" was pretty hilarious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I happen to think the wacky intuitive agent is hot...and not that irresponsible. Unfortunately I have a highly developed talent of ignoring the unlikable female partner, so I can get past her.

yes, it was! There are some good things about the show, and I love Artie. I just hate the main characters. And can they shut the hell up once in a while?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The flu vaccination explanation might have been excuse enough, but he never gave it and everyone's loyalty seemed relatively unswerved.
I just assumed that when we were "told" about the flu vaccine they were too. Rhys did say it was a good trade (or something along those lines).

I thought it was Jack at the time who said it was a "good trade".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like the main characters of Warehouse 13. Also, they are hot.
I've mostly decided I'm never watching Torchwood.

Rhys said something. They mentioned it in the commentary as one of the only times he's ever had Jack's back.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The Warehouse 13 agents' bad professionalism make the bad professionalism of Primeval's ARC feel good about itself. And Torchwood's professionalism is getting all smug and stuff.

“Not dead yet!”
Rhys said something. They mentioned it in the commentary as one of the only times he's ever had Jack's back.
After Jack said they had gotten the anti-virus for the flu and the 456 had left, Rhys observed that the trade had worked in keeping them away for forty-four years so it seemed as if it had been justifiable.
