Hey, SyFy....

I wanna say, I really like "Warehouse 13." It's a fun show. But here's some advice: You might want to think twice about your character names, even minor characters that we're likely to not see again. "Buck" is the wrong name for a black man. Very wrong.

Ohhhh, *yeah*, that's unfortunate.

Did he want to party?

Oh, God. Really?

Buck Mandrel, Secret Service. It makes me wonder if they cast the man based on the audition, and didn't think to change the name. He carried himself like an Indiana Jones type.

A black man in the 1940s, no less. (Maybe 1950s? I didn't catch the datestamp on the flashback.)

I haven't seen Warehouse 13. Does he look, perchance, like Buck Wild/Buck Goliath/Buck Lightning?

No. He actually looked like the black actor from "Psyche" wearing a leather fedora and a bomber jacket.
