Their first mission is to discover what is causing a friendly Iowa teen to slug his girlfriend. I won't breathe a word of what is behind the subsequent mayhem except to say it is campy, almost historically informative and hilarious. As the case unfolds, Myka realizes that what seems silly and far-fetched is Really Important and Pete discovers that she isn't such an ice princess after all.

'Warehouse 13' on Syfy
TELEVISION REVIEW
Along with the channel's new name comes this fun fusion of science, mythology and history, with two mismatched FBI agents leading the way. Sound familiar?

Nothing you haven't seen before, but the dialogue is snappy and everyone seems to be having a marvelous time, except of course the poor saps being possessed by whatever magical ephemera is in the spotlight this week.
"Warehouse 13" has no Cancer Man, no irritating prophesy, no need to bludgeon viewers with lessons in mortality and morality. The warehouse is warm and cozy with its Oriental rugs and Victorian lighting, Rubinek's Artie steals every scene he is in, and McClintock and Kelly provide a happy friction that promises great things.
What more could you ask for on a summer night?
