Save Eureka

It’s Stark! No, it’s Starks! We check out the nano-bots -bits -thingies in Primal and hear Chuck’s argument for an army of Chucks to do his bidding (or, um, not). Also: We see some great Carter/Zoe interaction and a deepening of a number of Eureka’s core characters.

We enjoy the humanization of Dr. Stark as we watch Right as Raynes. We discuss Beverly’s odd position as therapist to an entire town (that knows each other very well) and her similarities to Counselor Troi on TNG. We notice Raynes’ Geth-like qualities. And we enjoy Henry’s mad firefighting skills.

Sheriff Carter takes a step backward relationship-wise in this “out of time” episode. Besides having a little fun with Fargo’s big appetite, we take this opportunity to discuss the production process and what can lead to episodes airing in a different order than originally written. Also, we’re joined by in-studio guest Shooter.

We witness the beginning of the end for Jack’s infamous Jeep this week as we rewatch the episode Dr. Nobel. We discuss bad office space experiences. We wonder how reverse screws stumped Henry and the geniuses at Global. And we speculate on the history of this weeks octogenarian scientists.

We check out this week’s re-watch episode, Invincible, in which Saul Rubinek (Artie from Warehouse 13) appears as an over-tough, under-friendly scientist in Eureka. We speculate on why the Eureka community doesn’t sense Beverly’s duplicity, why Nathan Stark really isn’t that bad a guy after all, and what exactly it takes to get redacted.

We meet sir-not-appearing-later-in-this-series Spencer. We love Taggart’s awesome, tricked-out Ford F150. And we take on the important question: Is Stark a bit of a dick?

We watch the scary episode Before I Forget. We suggest that maybe one shouldn’t cross Kim. We Enjoy learning a bit more about Zoe. And we discuss just how much our realities rely on memory. Thanks again for this week’s awesome listener calls!

We continue our Eureka re-watch with the first full-season episode, Many Happy Returns. We discuss the introduction of some new characters. We muse about the qualities of “old Carter” (as opposed to the more experienced Carter we’re used to in season four) and how the character of Nathan Stark fills a much-needed role in the [...]

We have some fun with Eureka’s season finale, eventually settling down to speculate as to what might come of the Astraeus mission. And we comment significantly on Fargo’s “giant leap.” Haven’t had enough Eureka yet? Next week we rejoin our Eureka rewatch, which will continue throughout the off-season. If you’ve got a minute, give us [...]

We watch this week’s awesome new episode One Small Step. We discuss Taggart’s return to Eureka. We talk about Jo’s incredible cross-dimensional, time-traveling web of personal relationships. We enjoy some closure in alternate-Zane’s involvement with Jo. We dive into the incredible depth Eureka’s writers give to characters like SARAH and Andy, comparing the AI story [...]
