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 [...]
It’s all about time.
According to IMDB, Chris Roland (the series co-creator) has written or helped write all the episodes thus far. The same source also says only 4 of the 9 episodes thus far have been written or directed by anyone but him, including the pilot. Why then was this the best of [...]
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: (1) [...]
Joss Whedon is possibly the most beloved television creator/producer/writer of our time. It’s obvious that I have a man-crush on him. I even met him once at a comic shop while he was perusing for stuff. Coincidentally, I got him to sign a copy of my Astonishing X-Men, but I totally forgot to get something [...]
Things in the verses are starting to shake up.
16 hours before the premiere of Eureka, Charlie Jade brings one of its best episodes. There was some serious emotion this time around counteracting the sheer darkness (and I mean lighting) of the episode. I was seriously frustrated at the blinds causing a glare on the TV [...]
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 [...]
Last week the Doctor was dragged aboard the TARDIS by his companions Jack, Donna, and Rose, having been shot by a Dalek. He then began to regenerate!
The episode begins and the Doctor is pouring out energy, about to regenerate. He then aims his hands at his old severed hand (as many fans have been speculating [...]
You don’t want to watch the 3-part Heroes webisodes. Seriously. The title “Going Postal” should hopefully have been deterrent enough. Imagine giving an ADD-addled child high-end cameras and lighting equipment, a few actors, access to the Heroes soundtrack, and no money or apparently script and this is what you get, I guess.
CHAPTER 1: A NIFTY [...]
…in which we get a peek at Charlie’s past.
Flashback to five years ago. Charlie is narrating as two soldiers enter a building. It’s the same type of building we saw Jasmine in last week; lots of plastic and granite. They enter a room and open fire. One soldier takes off his [...]
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 [...]
