I figured we needed a place to post news and discuss it.

I guess the biggest news to start with is that Warehouse13 was picked up for a 2nd Season!

This show is just dealing. Those are amazing numbers! I think some eps even beat out "Tin Man".

I really enjoy this show, but these ratings numbers are amazing even me.

I thought this show was going to get like Sanctuary ratings. Which are considered good. But this show is even blowing away the gates and BSG in their prime on SyFy! I think this show has so much potential and I really hope they utilize these high ratings and make an even better show.

If this show continues to get better, how high will the ratings go?

[jelgate]

One should not diminish the the epic height of Warehouse 13's ratings but they seem to have plateau. I think they have gone as high as they will go

[Redhooks]

I think the show is getting better, but there have been better shows on SciFi in previous years. I think this show was just enough science fiction to bring in those fans and enough of a dramedy to bring in fans who wouldn't ever watch a space-based show. Decent actors with improving scripts will and have kept people around.

It also helps that it is airing in the summer on a Tuesday with nothing really up against. I definitely do not think it would get these ratings against the major network's fall line-up.

Most definitely not.

[Briangate78]

If this show continues to get better, how high will the ratings go?

I think 4 Million is the highest it will peak, heck even if the show was pulling half of that it would be successful.

4 Million viewers for an average episode in the middle of a season is epic for SyFy, so yeah it has likely peaked.

Which makes me wonder how SGU is going to do.

Time will tell. We are getting close.

'Warehouse 13' Now Most-Watched Syfy Show In History (Record previously held by 'Stargate: Atlantis')

It took five years, but "Stargate: Atlantis" has sadly watched yet another record tumble.

"Warehouse 13," which premiered the same time SciFi Channel officially changed its name to Syfy, has been breaking ratings records on the cable outlet left and right, including one last week that has made it Syfy's most-watched episode in the network's 17-year history.

The 4.4 million people who tuned in for "Warehouse 13" last week beat out the 4.2 million people who tuned in for the series premiere of "Atlantis" on July 16, 2004 called "Rising." No show, not even "Eureka," had been able to beat those numbers in the past, and "Warehouse 13" did it with a non-premiere, non-finale episode.

That can only point to how successful "Warehouse 13" is for Syfy, which has become its new breakout hit. The show, which stars Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly and Saul Rubinek, has blasted away not only "Atlantis'" record, but its own. The show premiered to 3.5 million viewers in July, and has been climbing ever since.

McClintock and Kelly play Secret Service agents who are tasked to find relics with special powers that must be kept in a warehouse in the Midwest. The comedy-drama hybrid is part of Syfy's continuing efforts to produce more cost-effective and mainstream-oriented "grounded" series, pulling some of its efforts off of space ships and out of space.

Syfy, however, isn't fully abandoning that concept. Its new series "Stargate: Universe," which premieres in October, is set aboard an intergalactic ship known as the Destiny that was built by the Ancients to place stargates throughout the cosmos.

"Warehouse 13" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Syfy

Well, I am glad Warehouse 13 has been so successful thus far for SyFy. I certainly could have never hoped for this level of success though.

How Mark Sheppard is really in charge of Warehouse 13

Would you turn down the chance to play a character named Benedict Valda? Didn't think so. And genre favorite Mark Sheppard isn't one to pass up the opportunity either. So Valda is on tonight's episode of Warehouse 13, entitled "Breakdown," airing at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Syfy.

But the season finale, "MacPherson," almost feels like it comes from an entirely different show, one dominated not by artifact hunts and special effects, but one filled with intrigue and danger. James MacPherson, whom we met a few episodes back, provides the series with a much-needed and thoroughly satisfying villain, one ruthless and far more clever than anyone at the Warehouse has anticipated. All of the show's main characters — Artie, Myka, Pete, Claudia, Mrs. Frederic, even the little-used Leena — will have their roles to play, and there will be enough twists to keep you guessing who at the Warehouse you can really trust (and at least one character's loyalties will fall squarely on the wrong side of the fence). We'll even get a revelation about the Warehouse itself that's far more frightening than what's inside the Dark Vault.

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.
