Eureka’s On A Wild Ride

855 Comments

Season 1 of Eureka was fresh and innovative. The theme song and credits alone were the greatest thing on television. At its best Eureka stayed quirky and fun, at its worst, Eureka remained solid. Not too bad, if you ask me. Though I wasn’t the biggest fan of Season 3.5 (probably because Tess just doesn’t do it for me), Season 4 has come roaring onto the scene in no small manner.

Eureka (the town) has changed, possibly for the better, maybe for destruction. As a show, the change was more than a shot in the arm, it created a whole new world. The brilliant writers now have license to go in any direction with our beloved characters, even backward. This is the first GIANT manipulation that seems natural and doesn’t bother me; in fact, it intrigues me so much that I can’t wait for the next episode! The cast continues to impress me, even some of the new additions. Oddly enough, the SyFy Eureka site has pics from the original cast. However, there’s still no sign of Nathan, and I would have thought that this new guy from BSG would have been a major selling point for them. Whatever.

One of my complaints about the show has been the overemphasis on the personal and relationship matters, but now that time continuum issues are involved, I’m on board with the will they/won’t they for all the couples affected. Seeing Alison’s anguish over possibly losing her new-found connection with Kevin is heartbreaking, and don’t even get me started on Jo! Our poor Sheriff Carter has also found himself between a rock and a hard place. Jack? If you need anyone to break the bad news to your housemate, have SARAH give me a call. I’ll fill her in on the non-classified details.

Eureka Returns!

1,187 Comments

With the BS delay that Sci-Fi Syfy threw at us between airings, I guess we need to watch the marathon today just to know where we left off! Sheriff Carter had just been relieved of his duties I recall, so I guess we’ll get to see him in a little hot water as we return to Eureka.

I hope Eureka maintains its sense of fun because its cousin Syfy show Warehouse 13 has absolutely none at all. The two hour premiere was lacking in many ways and it will be interesting to see what kind of audience it retains/adds.

My summer guilty pleasure (well, pleasure it way too strong a word), Big Brother is back, too. I liked the premiere and I hope the brains take it all (of course)!

Warehouse 13

805 Comments

So there’s a new show starting next week. At first glance, Warehouse 13 looks like a sleeker Eureka. Since I love Eureka, I hope there is enough of a difference that I don’t find myself comparing the two shows often. I’m definitely going to check it out, and I’ve already set the DVR to record all episodes. We just found out that Robin Hood is, indeed, canceled. With Harper’s Island wrapping up soon and no new Who or Merlin to keep me happy, I hope this is a show I can really get into (not that Eureka isn’t enough to keep me happy…and I won’t even mention BB).

Eureka in Spring?

desktop_jack_1152 So word on the street (oh, alright, message boards) is that new episodes of Eureka will air starting April 23. They are calling it Season 3.5. This fits with what Colin talked about during Comic Con, so perhaps there is truth to the rumors. I’ve been following S.A.R.A.H. on twitter to get news (even before I had my own twitter account), but there hasn’t been any hard news yet. The new season, by all accounts, is to begin in July, so I really think we’ll get more eps sooner rather than later.

It was another meager week in fandom, but the double makeovers Wednesday night on ANTM and Make Me A Supermodel were at least something to ponder. I love ANTM as much as the next fan who’s willing to admit even watching, but the production value of the two shows is never more apparent than in the makeover episodes. Even though London and Mountaha received pretty much the same style and color, the subtle variations of Mountaha’s look make her appear far more upscale than ANTM‘s London. It’s the little things that make such a difference. Ahhh, sweet, beautiful people.
