Save Eureka

It’s dream time (in a shared sense), and we definitely spend some time analyzing Jo and Fargo’s experience as well as Carter’s au natural trip for coffee. We consider the glimpse this episode gives us into Allison and Stark’s motivations in terms of how they approach this potential solution to Kevin’s problems, both past and [...]

Is Carter’s IQ really 111? We suspect it’s significantly higher. And we definitely wonder what kind of place Eureka is if Zoe’s score of 157 falls in the 92% percentile; that’s in the 99.8th percentile of the general public. We also enjoy Eureka’s Chinese anti-satellite test name-check, get a big kick out of some classic [...]

The introduction of Jack’s ex-wife Abby helps uncover a lot of backstory on Jack, Abby, and of course Zoe. We discuss Zoe and Carter’s incredible integration into the Eureka community and what might place Carter and her into a standoff, each waiting for the other to make the first move to say they want to [...]

We dive into yet another awesome B and C story episode in which we meet some new characters including Pilar and Jack’s first evil ex, Abby. We talk relationships and passive aggression in terms of Jack’s history. We enjoy the building tension over Henry’s unresolved issues. And we get a big kick out of Fargo’s [...]

Season two rolls on with our first major Fargo episode of the show’s history. Also we get a look at Henry’s motivations and direction as well as a major arc plot event. We note Eureka’s ability to go from zero to nuking-you-in-the-bottom-of-a-pit in zero seconds flat. We discuss the introduction of Larry as a unique [...]

We’re into season two in our off-season rewatch, and it’s a busy time in Eureka. We talk classic tragedy formulas, Aristotle, and what makes great villains as Henry takes the show for a twist. We notice some unique Eureka locations as well.

We dig into the season one finale with some serious discussion of the social effects of time travel: when one travels back to fix something, when is it fixed? What is fixed in this context? We compare this episodes events and outcomes to other time travel fiction, like Butterfly Effect, Primer, DS9, and (of course) [...]

Yep, our re-watch finally hit what we believe is the turning point for the series (and maybe the show) with an episode that establishes the key characters as well as the future of the franchise. And it brings up some serious discussion about leadership, the arts and sciences, and so on. Enjoy.

It’s holiday time, and you know what that means: a special holiday episode of Eureka! Come enjoy your favorite smarties with us as they take on all new character — which in this case means animation. It’s fun. It’s funny. And it even gives us some new insight into the characters. Also: we spend some [...]

We enjoy the humor (and all-round awesomeness) of Taggart and Allison showing some skin. We note some key moments in Eureka long-term-arc continuity exposed in this episode as well as some killer character development. We get a big kick out of the Fargo/Seth slap fight — and the quite realistic Allison/Bevery showdown. We discuss the [...]
