HawksmoorSD Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 So I watch a lot of SciFi. The shows I try to catch should be pretty obvious from the title of the thread. Anyways I got to thinking about them in a shared world and thought I'd toss it out at you guys. Warehouse 13 doesn't have a huge back history that I'm aware of yet and I admit I haven't done a lot of research into this but here's the rough idea. Warehouse 13 was founded (I'm guessing) late 1800 or early 1900's. As stated it's Americas Attic. All the weirdness that no one can explain or use goes there. The Stargate was one of the items there being brought from Egypt in 1939 to keep it from Nazi hands. It was moved to Cheyenne Mountain when someone figured out a possible use for it, and wasn't returned when they proved it could be used for people to come and go. No point in leaving a possible backdoor in the Warehouse. Eureka was commisioned by Truman so that would have been somewhere up and running in say the late 1950s or early 60s. So you have the Warehouse where things occasionally can be of use in off world missions and constantly grows from the weirdness thats found on and off world. Eureka is there and while its mostly for the joy of science theres things that are specially used for the Stargate program. Anything that can't be figured out thats brought back from the Stargate goes to Eureka for a set period of study and if no progress is made on the device its mothballed in the Warehouse. My guess is that there would be some sort of overseeing body to keep it all straight and in check. Also they would all continue to share in the idea of "top secret" so people don't know about them. Heck they each probably wouldn't know much about each other. Unless its Sam and Jack Carter. They're obviously related in some way since they have the same last name. See how easy it all goes together? Thanks for any comments folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
director13 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! The (limited) backstory of Warehouse 13 makes it look like the items are magic (nullifier fluid? Really?), even through they practically sprain their neck going out of the way to avoid the using that word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksmoorSD Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! I can easily agree with that. I hope that the series actually shows sci fi and magic related things in the Warehouse. But for the sake of this discussion I'm going to use 'weirdness' with as wide a definition as possible.

Tasha Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! It would probably fit better to link the Sanctuary world with Warehouse 13's. Seeing as both have "Magic" or some force close enough to it to be close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as both have "Magic" or some force close enough to it to be close to it. Oooh. Yes. Well, except that if that was the case, someone more important would have boosted more of the stuff by now. Nikolai, for instance (the only reason I kept watching, after the hawt wore off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Mackinder Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! It occurs to me that the famed 'Area 51' is mentioned a few times in 'Stargate' as a major research centre. Given the premise of this thread, perhaps '51' is mainly a "front" or clearing house for the real work happening in Eureka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csyphrett Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! Warehouse 13 strikes me as a ghostbuster situation where some things are invested with psychic energy. On the other hand, the tesla gun and tv phones are cool call backs. The mention of Tesla and Edison being enemies could lead to a secret mad scientist war in the background. Eureka also has some mental science things going on in the background like the dream machine. And Stargate has had basically every situation under the sun. Alien contact and alternate Earths would mix well with weird machines and weird science. And the arc for Eureka this season is aliens out there. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksmoorSD Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! So apparently I was pretty close with this. Next week SyFy is having a cross over between Warehouse 13 and Eureka. No Star Gate but I'm calling this a win!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGreenwade Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! I think anything combining Sanctuary with the Stargate universe cannot be complete without finding a way to put Holling, Bigfoot, Todd the Wraith, and John Druitt in the same room together.

RexMundi Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! Indeed. Though it looks like SyFy is on track to at least incorporate EUReKa and Warehouse 13 into the same "universe" so to speak. Certainly the last few episodes have shown there is at least as much High Technology as there is left over antiques from the old Friday the 13th TV show.....either way....good work, and easy enough to squeeze in stargate as well. ~Rex....figures it could work, so why not. Incorporates elements from all three shows into his current campaign anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was moved to Cheyenne Mountain for the TV series. According to Wiki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyenne_Mountain ), the Cheyenne Mountain complex was constructed from 1961-64, and became operational in 1966. Of course, when factoring in Eureka, Warehouse 13 and others, maybe there is an untold story or three here as well ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Von Neumann device with a twist, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvronsim1 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Re: Eureka! The Stargate isn't in Warehouse 13! The Warehouse was actually founded by Alexander the Great in Macedonia in 323 b.c. according to Syfy. This is the thirteenth version and was founded in 1914. The Warehouse moves to the most powerful or advanced society in the world at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
