I just finished watching an advance copy of the season finale of WAREHOUSE 13 episode 12 "MacPherson" airing tomorrow Tuesday September 22 on SyFy (9-10 p.m. ET). I wanted to share an early review of the episode.

The story is less artifact driven and more character driven. MacPhearson is openly trying to sell some artifacts on the open market which obviously grabs the attention of the Warehouse 13 gang.

This leads to some really cool and tension filled moments with Artie, Pete and Myka going toe to toe against MacPhearson, Warehouse style.

The ultimate resolution is unexpected and will affect one of our good guys in a very deadly way. I wish I could tell you more but you have to see it to believe it.

"MacPherson" is by far one of the strongest episodes of Warehouse 13. The only thing I can say is that I am glad that there is a second season because this episode will end with the mother of all cliffhangers.

In the meantime, check out more pictures of WAREHOUSE 13 "MacPherson" episode.

WAREHOUSE 13 "MacPherson" Episode 12

I recently got a chance to speak to EDDIE MCCLINTOCK who plays Pete Lattimer on Syfy's Warehouse 13.

As season 1 is almost coming to an end (two more episodes left), Eddie McClintock teased us as to what's coming up, including a possible death. He also talked about Pete and Myka's relationship and explained the art of schmacting to us, as well as much more.

So enjoy the interview and don't forget to watch Warehouse 13 on Tuesdays at 9pm on Syfy.

Congratulations on shattering records this season.

Eddie McClintock: I guess so, right? That's been kind of cool. I had a previous record, a show that was cancelled the quickest.

Now you have them both.

Eddie McClintock: That's right. If you can't have a record at being the best you might as well have a record of being the worst. At least you're in the record books.

You're also getting picked up for another season which is exciting as you're coming to the end of this season.

Eddie McClintock: Yeah, two more episodes. It's great. I've been doing this for twelve years and this is my fifth show and I've done ten pilots and this is the first time that I've ever been lucky enough to move into a second season with a show. So I'm very grateful.

How does that feel then?

Eddie McClintock: It feels great. I'm cautiously optimistic. I just keep hoping for the best. You just keep hoping that there's forward momentum in it. It seems as though the show is being well received in London and people seem to like it here. I just want to have some job security for a while. I have two babies.

Can you talk about what's coming up in this season's final two episodes, and is there going to be a cliffhanger that'll make us throw things at the TV?

Eddie McClintock: I hope so. I hope people are invested enough in the show that they'll throw things at their TVs when the cliffhanger arrives. There is definitely a cliffhanger. It looks as though we might lose one of the characters on the show. It's pretty great. Roger Rees who plays MacPherson, he just plays such a great bad guy. You almost root for him somehow even though you know he's the bad guy because he's really very charming and a great actor. He's a lot of fun to watch. His stuff with Saul [Rubinek] is just so fantastic. The two of them together are so accomplished that to see them working together like that is personally really cool. I think that the viewers will enjoy it.
Tomorrow night's episode, Myka's father is infected by an artifact, Edgar Allen Poe's notebook. So, Myka stays and tries to help her father and Claudia and Pete go out and try to solve the case. It's kind of the first time that Claudia and Pete get to go out together. Allison Scagliotti is amazing and we had a lot of fun. So it's a really great episode. I think it fits well for the demographic, the eighteen to forty nine demo because now it's about the young kid who is on the other side of the Edgar Allen Poe book infection. It's pretty cool.

I actually got to see that episode. It was an early cut but it was good.

Eddie McClintock: Well, good. It's tough because you get that early cut and there's no FX and so you kind of have to use your imagination.

It's interesting to see it without the FX, too. How is it acting with the green screen because there's a lot of things that you guys don't experience? How is it acting without anything?

Eddie McClintock: Saul coined a term and has called it Schmacting. It's whenever we have to act with a green screen or things that aren't there and we have to completely make believe. It's difficult because you don't know what is on the other side. You don't know what the FX team is going to come up with. It feels silly. You feel kind of ridiculous doing it, but fortunately the FX team has been so great that next year when we have schmact it'll be a lot easier because I'll be more confident about what the end product will end up looking like.

It looks really good. What has been your favorite artifact on the show so far?

Eddie McClintock: I've kind of been saying that my favorite artifact has been the spine, the Spine of the Saracen which was in the episode 'Burnout'. The spine attached itself to its human host and turned that host into a killer. I'm not sure if you saw that episode or not, but to me I think that's been my favorite so far just because it presented the most challenges for me as an actor. It forced me to kind of get out of my comfort zone as an actor and really explore some other things that I really haven't had an opportunity to explore in my career. I've spent a lot of time doing a lot of comedy and so to have this thing attached to my back and be faced with the possibility of having to commit suicide in order to save the planet was kind of a high stakes scenario to have to deal with. It was interesting and challenging.

It was very emotional, too.

Eddie McClintock: Yeah, my dad saw it and was like, 'I got a little emotional when I saw that.' I kind of knew then that I had done something right, to get the old dad worked up.

If you could find an artifact for yourself and keep it what kind of artifact would you like to find?

Eddie McClintock: Well, again, I've been saying that I guess it would be a backstage concert pass that would allow me to travel through time and go to any concert that's ever been. Like I could go see The Beatles. I could go see The Doors. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. All the bands that I missed out on that are too young.

That's really cool and original.

Eddie McClintock: Yeah. I love music and there's a lot of great music that I've only been able to listen to via the CD or the album or even a cassette. I'm that old. My first stereo had an eight track player in it when I was thirteen. That's how old I am, a borderline geezer.

So far I really enjoy how Pete and Myka are together. How do you think they'll evolve in season two and do you think they should get together or do you like the dynamic that they have now?

Eddie McClintock: For right now I really am enjoying the dynamic that they have. I've been saying that as soon as the two main characters get together the show is over. People, viewers tend to want to watch the two main people get together but then once they've gotten together it's like, 'Well, who else can we watch get together?' And they turn the channel because what they wanted to happen has already happened. So I hope that Pete and Myka don't get together for about five or six years.

Right. In season ten it'll be okay.

Eddie McClintock: [laughs] Yeah. Season ten, when we're doing the double episode homage to 'The Brady Bunch' in Hawaii they can get together. If they go out and have a couple of tequilas after work and maybe wake up together, I don't know, that might be interesting to play, but for them to be full on romantically involved I think would be a mistake at this point because they have such a great dynamic right now. I'd hate to mess that up.

How has the experience on this show been different from other shows you've been on?

Eddie McClintock: I would say the most striking difference has been in the way the network has treated the show in regards to the promotion of the show, the backing that the network has given the show. When you do a show on a big network you're generally one of ten or twelve or thirteen. Sometimes you can be one of fifteen shows. So it's really a crapshoot then. They just kind of throw you out there and you hope for the best, but in this case we were one of, I think, three pilots that got made and when the network decided to get behind the show it was just first class all the way. I really felt like I was a part of. I felt like these people believed in what we had made and were willing to put their money where there mouth was.

It was the only new show this summer, right?

Eddie McClintock: Right. It was the first and then there'll be 'Caprica' and 'Stargate Universe' I believe is another one.

Is there a show that you'd love to guest star on?

Eddie McClintock: There was a show called 'Band of Brothers' that I would've loved to have been a part of. I love war movies. I've always wanted to do a war movie or TV show. That's the one that jumps out of me. I guess 'Happy Days', too. I would've loved to have been the Fonz's little brother. I used to have a Fonz jacket that I would put on and slick my hair back and stand out in front of my house on this tiny little rural street in Ohio and just wait for cars to come by so they could see me dressed up as the Fonz. I actually got to tell that story to Henry Winkler who played the Fonz and that was pretty cool.

What was his reaction?

Eddie McClintock: He's such a great guy, he just loved it. He thought that was amazing. I had a Fonz poster on my ceiling in my room and I had Fonz shirts. Everything was Fonz for me.

How was it meeting the Fonz in real life?

Eddie McClintock: It was amazing. The best part about it was the fact that he was a fantastic guy. The saying is don't meet your idols because generally it'll be a let down but not in this case. He couldn't have been nicer and a better guy. So it was really amazing.

Do you have any upcoming projects you can talk about?

Eddie McClintock: Absolutely not. If you know anybody I'm free. Right now we're just going to do a few personal appearances. I'm going to New York to appear at a convention and then I'm going to Paris and London and we're doing a sci-fi convention in London. I think right now we're going to travel around and I'm going to hangout with my boys. The season and the shows don't start up here, or well they get started pretty soon but the summers are notoriously slow. Another thing is that my agents are saying that now that I'm the lead in a show that's been considered a hit I don't want to just go out and do a guest spot on any show. It has to be something special. It's kind of a double edged sword because now that I have a show I kind of can't do what I would normally which is to go in for guest spots on shows.

EDDIE MCCLINTOCK from Warehouse 13 Exclusive Interview

I had an opportunity to watch the upcoming WAREHOUSE 13 episode "Nevermore" (episode 11) which will air tomorrow Tuesday September 14 on SyFy.

In "Nevermore", Myka's dad, Warren Bering, played by Michael Hogan (Colonel Saul Tigh on Battlestar Galactica) falls under the spell of an artifact sent over by an anonymous sender. This sends Myka and Pete scrambling to try and find out a way to deactivate the artifact. In order to give you a sense of what you can expect in this episode, let me break down what you will be treated to.

Artifact
The "Nevermore" artifact is pretty cool. It originates from a book, written by Edgar Allan Poe, which has a pretty potent and deadly side effect on Myka's dad. Is it the coolest artifact ever? No. Is it still intriguing enough that it is worth building an episode around it? Yes.

Myka
In this episode, Myka (Joanne Kelly) confronts her inner demons as she has to face her dad with whom she has a difficult relationship. This gives us an opportunity of seeing a more vulnerable side of the character that Joanne Kelly portrays perfectly.

Pete
Pete is just Pete. When Myka is called over at her dad's bedside, he doesn't hesitate to come with her and act as a supporting friend. He still manages to pull classic Pete quips, especially one hilarious one which involves Myka's mom.

Artie
Artie is still desperately trying to locate and apprehend MacPherson. This causes tense moments and a very cool opening scene. The reason behind this obsession is somewhat explained in this episode though.

Claudia
I am so glad that Allison Scagliotti was cast in this role. In addition to Pete's antics, I think she brings a well needed dose of comic relief that make Warehouse 13 even more enjoyable. In "Nevermore", she certainly doesn't disappoint.

Overall, "Nevermore" is a standard Warehouse 13 episode in the fact that it delivers everything you come to expect in the show: an artifact, a conflict, a villain, funny quips and just all out entertainment.

Stay tuned next week as I will have an early review of the season finale episode of Warehouse 13 titled "MacPherson".

WAREHOUSE 13 "Duped" Episode 8

Now that's what I call a good news!

[Press Release - Released by Syfy]

NEW YORK – August 20, 2009 – Syfy has ordered 13 episodes of its smash hit original series Warehouse 13 for a second season, it was announced today by Mark Stern, Syfy's Executive Vice President, Original Content & Co-Head Original Content, Universal Cable Productions. Warehouse 13 is slated for a summer 2010 return.

Returning for the second season are Warehouse 13 stars Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek and Allison Scagliotti. The finale airs on September 22 @ 9pm ET/PT and features guest stars CCH Pounder (The Shield) and Roger Rees (West Wing).

In its first season, Warehouse 13 has delivered a 2.9 Household rating (including only the weeks for which full DVR data is available), 4.02 million total viewers, 1.99 million Adults 25-54 and 1.57 million Adults 18-49.

Having just reached the mid-point of the season, Warehouse 13 is tracking to be the highest-rated and most-watched first season ever for a Syfy original series, even topping Battlestar Galactica's 2.4 Household rating and 2.86 million total viewer averages.

It is currently averaging over 4 million total viewers per episode and has delivered more viewers than many scripted series on competing networks this summer, including TNT's Hawthorne, Raising the Bar, Dark Blue and Saving Grace; FX's Rescue Me and Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva.

Warehouse 13 has grown its audience since its premiere, setting series highs for total viewers with its second and fourth telecasts.

Warehouse 13 episodes account for three of the network's top five most-watched original series telecasts ever.

After saving the life of the President, two Secret Service agents find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13 -- a massive, top secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse's caretaker Artie (Rubinek) charges Pete (McClintock) and Myka (Kelly) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the warehouse itself.

The series is produced for Syfy by Universal Cable Productions. Season one is executive produced by Jack Kenny (The Book of Daniel) who also serves as showrunner. David Simkins (Dresden Files) is executive producer; and Stephen Surjik (Monk, Burn Notice) is producer/director of the series.

WAREHOUSE 13 "Magnetism" Episode 3

I just finished WAREHOUSE 13 episode 2 "Resonance" and I just wanted to quickly share my thoughts on it.

You might remember that in my review of the Warehouse 13 pilot episode, I had my doubts about the show. That even yielded a comment from David Simkins, the executive producer/writer of Warehouse 13, encouraging me to keep watching the show.

Well, David, I took your advice and watched the second episode of Warehouse 13 "Resonance" and I only have four words for you:

I LOVE this show

This episode had everything I love about a good TV show. A solid story, interesting characters, witty dialogue and a very cool mystery.

Just to give you some perspective on my thinking, here is how my thought process evolved as I was watching "Resonance:

" Wow, this is better than I thought it would be."
.....
"I really like Myka and Pete"
......
"Damn I may have to tell David Simkins that he was right. I was not disappointed"
......
"Yup, I am definitely going to have tell David that he was right"

If this keeps up, Warehouse 13 is going to be one of my favorite new TV shows of the summer. I really recommend that you watch it.

Before I leave, I have one last thing to say to David Simkins and I will let Brenda Lee say it for me in this video.

WAREHOUSE 13 Episode 2 "Resonance"

Starting Tuesday July 7, Sci-fi is rolling out a new summer TV show, WAREHOUSE 13 starring Saul Rubinek, Joanne Kelly and Eddie McClintock. The story centers around two secret service agents Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) and Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock) who are sent in the middle of nowhere to a secret location called Warehouse 13 which houses supernatural objects that are collected and stowed by the government. The Warehouse is under the watchful guard of Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek), a cookie connaisseur of all things strange.

I had the opportunity of watching the pilot episode of Warehouse 13 and here is what I can say about it.

The story is kind of dissapointing. The original concept is interesting as it offers opportunities to see some interesting artifacts like Houdini's Wallet. Unfortunately it turns out that Houdini's wallet doesn't do much but be slightly spooky. The "object" that is the center of the first episode is not anymore interesting than that unfortunately.

The characters are not anymore original than that either. I give the actors credit on this. They tried to make it as cool as they could but the whole thing had the feel of people just doing a pilot but not really sure if it was going to get picked up. There is a Mulder and Scully thing going on between Myka and Pete but it was very tentative and not quite believable yet.

I can't speak to the quality of the special effects as the pilot was a rough cut but from what I saw, I don't expect to be blown away when I see the finished product.

Now does that mean that Warehouse 13 is a bad show? No. It has a ton of potential and the pair who are going to carry most of the show are decent actors. But like a good meal that is still cooking, what I think this show needs is some seasoning in the form of some more original storylines and some stronger dialogue. Give it a chance as I know I will.
