No one quite knows what the Sci Fi Channel’s latest show Warehouse 13 would be like. Isn’t going to break the bank of creativity, and it’s certainly not going to be as deep or gritty or “real” as Battlestar Galactica. But i guess nobody wants it to. There’s plenty of room for BSG-ish shows, and then there are plenty of rooms for Warehouse 13. The show is debuting in July on the Sci Fi Channel, and will star Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly as FBI agents assigned to a super secret warehouse in the middle of nowhere in charge of guarding a warehouse full of strange, paranormal artifacts. Basically, “The X-Files” meets, well, a goofier version of “The X-Files”. Or in other words a mix of “The X-Files” and “Eureka”
Synopsis:
After saving the life of the President, two Secret Service agents find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13 — a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota that houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government.

Two new videos are online now, delivering a glimpse into the latest Stargate sequel. They include clips from the show, plus soundbites from the cast.
And it seems like the show will have a view tone from previous Stargate incarnations. Slightly darker and more earnest, very much about the survival of the human will a long way from home, trust issues with an enemy working against them from the inside, a slightly reportage approach to the camera work, “a story about hope and faith” as one of the stars puts it.
So, basically, like Battlestar Galactica.
Tell us what you think.

Kring recently revealed some details about the show’s upcoming plots and themes in his latest “Heroes All Access” newsletter. We have the scoop on what Claire, Peter, Nathan/Sylar and HRG will be up to when the show returns to NBC in the fall.
Click through for spoilers.
Kring writes “One of the big issues we’ll be exploring is how should a person with abilities live his or her life. Should they try to assimilate by hiding their abilities, or should they live more honestly, exposing their powers to the world?”
