OK, the episode was really about two suns in the sky over Eureka, but let’s first give credit to the cute double entendre: Lexi learns she is having two sons (yes, pregnant with twins, both boys). (And really, her girth looks too small to me to be in her second trimester with twins; but OK, [...]
I was looking forward to the superhero episode – especially when he appeared to be a bumbling superhero – but the show wasn’t really about the superhero, so I felt a little let down as it unfolded. Maybe that’s why this episode struck me as a little bit blah. But when I think about the themes, and [...]
Well, it would take an exceptional storyline to make “the mummy episode” more than average for any show. So it’s no surprise that this episode of Eureka – the fifth in Season 3 – is solidly average. There’s nothing really remarkable about the mummy story – scientists at General Dynamics open a centuries-old tomb, but [...]
When the episode started, I confess I found it a little strange to have Allison and Nathan’s wedding upon us already, as last week Allison was still planning and trying on wedding dresses. But I got over that, because I enjoyed the show so much. Overall, this one was done really well. The pacing was [...]
Nice episode! This is what the show should be every week. Characters were used well, and the multiple threads of the story converged in a tidy way, really very pleasing. Who would have guessed that you could weave together robotic dogs, an underground volcano, a researcher who fabricates synthetic mucus in his laboratory, and a [...]
For Eureka’s second show of the season, the crisis of the week involved the “disappearance” of a research scientist from a sealed biosphere (quote marks used because the man didn’t actually disappear — he started turning into a snake). But really, that story doesn’t matter (I’ll explain below). Here are the things to comment on: [...]
Well, the Season 3 opener for Eureka was kind of a dud. It wasn’t even funny, really. Colin Ferguson was charming as Sheriff Jack Carter and made us chuckle a few times, and several of the characters are certainly charismatic, but that was about it. The artificial intelligence (AI) concept that was central to the [...]
So we’re on the verge of the first episode of Season 3 of Eureka, the Sci Fi Channel’s quirky little show about life in a town full of geniuses. The first of 21 episodes premieres on July 29 (the season was originally announced as 13 episodes, apparently, but fallout from the writer’s strike actually benefited [...]
