Airdate: July 14th, 2009Episode Title: "Resonance"
Episode #: 02
Starring: Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly
After a solid premiere, Warehouse 13 gave me a good feeling. That good feeling has carried over through week two. While the storyline for this episode was weaker, the character interactions were much better. There was less, cheesy useless dialogue and more humorous moments. The plot followed a string of bank robbery's where the robbers were using beautiful sounds to temporarily freeze people in a state of euphoria. Lattimer and Bering are called in to investigate, and discover that the musical pieces belongs to a former composer who was searching for the "key to the human heart". While the story is a little too "feel-goody" and the reveal comes to early in the episode, it was still entertaining, but it would have been better off further in the season as more of a filler. The secondary story revolves around Artie's Warehouse 13 computer based being hacked, and trying to find the hacker only to be lead straight to Dickinson's office (Dickinson is Lattimer and Bering's former boss). He only then realizes that the hacker was routing through Dickinson to make him look guilty. Part of me wishes Artie spent more time working a case than just fumbling around on the computer the entire episode. He's a funny and deep character, with an obvious troubled past that will lead to a story arc throughout the season, but his screen time is clouded with him staring at a computer and us trying to understand what he's mumbling. All in all, this was another successful installment in the new Syfy series, but my expectations are growing, and I hope Warehouse 13 can grow with them.
