Sci-Fi Storm

In Monday’s new Warehouse 13, Pete and Claudia investigate murders involving a radical environmentalist group, while Artie tries to get back to work—but the Warehouse has another opinion. Tune in at 10/9c, right after Defiance!

And check out the clips of the best lines from last week’s episode!

And a bit of a tease for the May 13th episode – Enrico Colantoni and Missi Pyle, who played the aliens Balthazar and Laliari in Galaxy Quest, guest star in a special black and white film noir crime thriller!

Warehouse 13 returns on Monday (at 10/9c following Defiance) for the second half of Season 4, while fans – and cast and crew – are getting nervous about renewal.

To help raise awareness, the fan publicity engine is in full swing, centered around Renew Warehouse 13, which explains the situation well and how everyone can help. The biggest thing – don’t forget to watch! If any of you out there are Nielsen families especially, or know of them, the ideal is to watch the first showing live. Next best would be the repeat showing, and then watching it on a DVR within the first three days, and then within 7 days. They are all taken into account, but the most important is the live showing. And if watching on a DVR, watch the commercials as well. They are what is really counted, since advertisers want eyes on their ads, and that is what they pay for.

Not a Nielsen family? Get the word out. Get your friends to watch. Tweet about it. Post on Facebook. Let them know about this awesome show. And during the show, follow along on Twitter – Fans, cast and crew have been live-tweeting during Defiance, and I’m sure a few of us will stick around – and maybe we’ll see some others joining us, depending on their availability and which showing they are watching.

Of course, it’s natural to wonder why Syfy would not renew a popular show. It’s the cost. Show naturally get more expensive the longer they run, as contract amounts increase, etc. So then advertiser money needs to increase (which means ratings/demos need to go up), or costs need to be cut elsewhere (which can hurt production), or income from other sources needs to be found.

Anyways, in the meantime, enjoy this video of Allison Scagliotti (Claudia Donovan) answering 5 fan questions, and then a short preview. And if you can’t get enough of Allison, I’ve also included the episode of Geek&Sundry’s TableTop, in which Allison joins host Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day (Actress, Producer, Writer – The Guild), Ashley Clements (Actress – The Lizzie Bennet Diaries), and Amy Okuda (Actress – The Guild) to play “Resistance”…

The second episode of Defiance, “Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go”, stayed strong for Syfy, with 2.4 million total viewers and 1.11 million Adults 25-54 and 1.06 million Adults 18-49 for the initial showing, making it the #1 cable drama in both demos for the time period.

It lost only a bit after its premiere of 2.7 million total/1.3 million 18-49, but the show picked up in the DVR and repeat showings, rising up to 3.5 million total/1.77 million 18-49.

Next week expect Defiance and Warehouse 13 to feed off each other, as the latter returns for the second half of Season four in the 10/9c slot right after Defiance.

To celebrate, here are a couple of “Shooting the Shtako” clips (LOVE the name…), one for each episode. In the first, Grant Bowler discusses shooting the pilot with executive producer Kevin Murphy. Then in the second, Tony Curran (Datak Tarr) talks joins Murphy about the second episode.

King Uther returns! This was rumored months ago when it was believed Merlin‘s Anthony Stewart Head was on the set of Warehouse 13, and fueled by a picture from star Eddie McClintock having dinner with him, fellow star Saul Rubinek, and Head’s fellow Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum James Marsters, but it’s been confirmed – Head will appear in the final three episodes of Season “4.5”, reportedly as a villain named Paracelsus.

Still need to fill some time before Defiance now? Warehouse 13 doesn’t return for two weeks yet, but Syfy has made the return episode, “The Living and The Dead”, available online and you can watch it right here!
