Warehouse 13 HG Wells spinoff.

[SunKrux]

NO. No spin off please. I agree with the poster who said they should give WH13 some room and not create spinoffs.
I wasn't too thrilled with the HGWells thing in the first place on WH13. Not going to like a spin off

I respect your not liking HG but really, how can you say you're not going to like something that really hasn't happened yet. It's still in the early planning stage. Jack Kenny said he wouldn't do anything with it yet as he was too busy with WH13.

I welcome a spin off since I happen to like the character HG, especially if they get Jaime to play her in this spin off.

But hey, to each their own. I just don't get the "I don't like it" attitude when you haven't seen it yet. *shrugs*

You know how some people always don't enjoy the sequal to a movie as much as the first movie? I really think it is a personality trait of some sort because there are some people who can't name more than three sequels that they like as much as their original. It could be the same with shows, people just don't like spinoffs if they have seen the original. Don't know why it is like that, it just is. So it is easy to predict that you won't like on sequel of a movie or spinoff of a show if you generally don't like them in general by experience.

If it's the same character, and I did not like the scenario and character in the first show, then why would I like another show focused around that same character?

True! However, I liked the character and looking forward to this series... It would seem that it's difficult to create a spinnoff series that becomes as popular as the original show - it seems it's difficult to re-create the personal chemistry between the actors (I'm thinking NCIS, CSI, Grey's Anatomy - even Stagate [sorry SGA fans - I like SGA too but not as much as SG1]). Law and order could be one exception... *runs and hide now*

There aren't many spin offs that prove to be better than the original but I do prefer SGA to SG1 but that's just personal preference and I always thought Frasier was superior to Cheers (not a sci fi show I know but I needed an example).

I definitely agree with you on Frasier over Cheers (one could argue that Cheers has aged quite badly, but that's not it - the humour is quite different, Frasier to me have a little of that kind of British humour that plays on word etc)
It's ok not using a scifi show as reference - I started it

To come back on topic: I really enjoyed the twist that HG Wells was female, btw

I agree. It was a nice surprise originally that HG was female but the character does work really well, I think the performances of Jaime Murray helps a lot also which is why I want her to be HG in the spin off.

I hope it won't be focused around her...should be a group of main characters.

[lordofseas]

Yes, Jaime was wonderful for the part. If you're looking for historical accuracy, I think a science-fiction/fantasy show is the wrong place to start.

Since I like W13 so much I'll give any spin-off a shot, but if Jamie Murray is basically in the same role for this I think I'll have a hard time sticking around as I just didn't like her as HG Wells. Which was too bad because the concept of her being the sister of who we all thought was HG Wells, but from a time where women weren't equals is brilliant. I just don't care for Jamie Murray, I didn't like her in Dexter either.

If the spin-off goes forward I would be more likely to enjoy it with a different actress taking the lead, but I'll give anything a shot.

Sounds like an argument that I make all the time. I don't know why people write things off based on a trailer, the channel a show airs on, or even a character that they possibly disliked. Give the show a chance!

And you know, with Syfy's penchant for making stupid decisions they could cancel W13 in favor of this show.

[Magnecite]

I think any series has a hard time making it past Season 5 on Syfy. I wouldn't like to see Warehouse 13 cancelled but I personally think it improves the episode when HG is in it. Not everyone likes the same thing, I didn't like Jeri Ryan as Seven, clearly a lot of people did. There is a grieving process that goes on with scifi programmes that get dumped where those fond of them start blaming other series for being more successful. A spinoff won't finish WH13, it may rejuvenate the product. It's not like the series creators invented artefact power, is it! I think the fact that 3-2-1 has got the highest ratings so far in Season 3, from the figures I've seen, suggest the HG's adventures might have a following.

I like Jaime Murray as HG Wells, but in general I'm usually not all that enthusiastic about prequels. I did like the flashback episode with Gareth David-Lloyd playing her partner though. If, when and if they do make the show, they keep Jaime and Gareth, I'd definitely give it a try anyway. If they recast HG though, I probably wouldn't be as interested.

I agree, it would be great if they keep both Jaime and Gareth (would be nice to see him doing something after TW)

[Magnecite]

Recent article by Airlock Alpha seems to suggest that Syfy are there with HG show and the only thing that would sink green lighting the pilot is if Kenny and co come up with a duff script. If they do predate Warehouse 12 they'll have to wiggle a bit to keep GDL as I'm assuming he was a Warehouse agent but I don't suppose that will be too hard. They've wiggled with quite a lot this season. The question begs though, what happened to the Helena we saw in 3-2-1 to turn her into volcano making super villain.

Her daughter died.

[Magnecite]

Yes, her daughter died but Christina had been dead two years before the time portrayed and she is still supporting the regents and playing her part as a Warehouse Agent with admirable diligence. She does say to Myka at the end of the New Guy that the Warehouse took things from her and made her what she was ... which she implied she regretted. She expresses hate turning into fear. (I thought her speech was reminiscent of X-file gobbedly gook but she did say it) not that I greatly expect anything to tie up. You have to admit though there is a huge discrepancy between pained Helena and supposedly psychotic Helena who was portrayed in Reset as exactly how Pete described ... moustache twirling super villain. The mental health aspects of this show are Victorian and far too convenient in explaining motives, still Warehouse is rather cartoonish in some respects. Its charm is it slips between humour, pathos and tragedy without seeming oddly out of kilter which is undoubtedly a masterly achievement.

[misaditas]

HG Wells from Warehouse 13 is probably getting her own spinoff show.
I was reading Blastr this morning and it looks like they are going to do a spinoff based on HG Wells.

Yeah, I've been watching this story for a while. For the record, I CANNOT WAIT! I love Warehouse 13 and I love Helena's character.

From what I understand, given they showed it at ComicCon, the series will be set in the same time frame as the flashbacks of 3... 2... 1 (if they have Gareth David-Lloyd as her partner full-time, I will die of squee), which I think will make it very interesting. I like the idea of her being a free agent, because she gets to be the star without necessarily being the hero. IMO, it's important not to make her too "good".

But yeah, I love this concept and I really hope they make it happen.

[Galileo_Galilee]

I wonder how people would feel if Amelia Earhart were turned into a man in a story. Would it be okay then? Obviously not.
