WAREHOUSE 13 - THREE IF BY SPACE: Joanne Kelly Exclusive Interview
by Robert Prentice
02 October 2011
... Q: And speaking of female roles that really have a presence on the screen, overall, the show has a fifty percent female viewership, which is huge for any kind of sci-fi show. And it’s due largely in part to your character Myka, Claudia, Mrs. Frederick and in more recent seasons, H.G. Wells. Were you shocked to hear of such a high female viewership for a sci-fi show?
Joanne Kelly: "No. If you build it they will come. I think that women... I think what draws people to shows... I think that what people want to see, they want to be able to identify with what’s on screen. And I think that if you write strong, interesting, fallible characters that people want to watch that because they can identify with that. They don’t identify with caricatures so much, and I think that these characters are written so humanly and so flawed. I mean Myka has a lot of flaws and I really love how the progression of her character and how she’s kind of dealt with them and overcome them, as has Pete, as has H.G. Wells, as has Mrs. Frederick this season. We see a more human side to her and I think that that’s what women want to see. They want to see a representation of something that looks like them on screen..."
Warehouse 13 returns with a special Christmas episode in December 2011 and season four premieres in 2012 on Syfy.
