A Warehouse of Slow Proportion

I've stopped myself from commenting on this show on purpose. The main reason was that I found the pilot hard to watch and at times I stopped paying attention, or stopped it to leave the room. I just found myself easily distracted while it was on. Maybe it was the length of the first episode or the slow pace they had taken. If you asked me what happened in the episode, then I won't be able to tell you anything past the wish pot (or whatever it was).

The one thing that I did decide was that I wasn't going to give up on the show that easily. There have been many times that I've initially wrote a show off by its first episode and a couple of seasons later I come back to it and love it. Examples of this are One Tree Hill, House, New Adventures of Old Christine and 30 Rock. It is definitely my rule from now on to try and give a show more than one episode of my time, though I threw that rule out the window briefly with Hung.

Two more episodes down the line and I see that it might be worth watching a couple more episodes. There is potential but it does seem like it's still moving at a slow pace. I'm waiting for that episode which makes me think it's found its feet. I liken it to the first couple of episodes of Dollhouse, where they were trying to establish the show and then bam, one episode got people talking.

The relationship of Pete Lattimer and Myka Bering was bound to be compared to others like Mulder and Scully and Brennan and Booth but I don't think that would be fair. The chemistry in X-Files and Bones is undeniable between the two main characters and any show, like this, with a male and female lead is unfortunately going to be compared to things of that standard. My opinion is that the show shouldn't try to recreate what those shows have but not let it become an uncomfortable element for us to sit through. There are many shows where you can tell that there is either no chemistry or the actors are uncomfortable and awkward.
