Has anyone been checking out this series? It's been billed as a science fiction version of "Northern Exposure"...

I really, really enjoy Eureka.

This week was the first week I've missed it (wasn't home, forgot to set the VCR) since it started. Since I never really watched Northen Exposure, I can't make that comparrison though...

Northern Exposure was about a small town in Alaska if memory serves correct.

I love Eureka. I have to say, it's probably my favorite Sci Fi series on right now. I have them all on my Tivo right now

Eureka shares some similarities with Northern Exposure in that both are about small towns with quirky residents. The main character(the sheriff/Doctor) think they are the only sane ones in town but soon learn that different is not always a bad thing.

By the Way, I really like Eureka. It's the best show on SciFi next to the Stargates. I haven't really liked the direction That SciFi has been heading lately with it's movies of late. Eureka shows that they can still make a extraordinary series if they try.

I like Eureka. It's a good show.

I'm really enjoying the show... It's offbeat & just plain damn funny.

Scifi now has four good shows....Eureka, SG-1, Atlantis and BSG.

I love Eureka! I wish I could move there!

In all seriousness though, it's a given that the science is fanciful and religated to being a plot driver/complication, but the way the characterisations are delivered are full and not overbearing. Joe Morton I have often held as a treasure to film really does such an incredible performance, that if my karma for enjoying a show often results in it getting pulled of the air, I hope that he may get a spinoff of his own.

I could go on and on about it but the bottom line is it's fun! Watch it!

Last nights episode was pretty good. It was interesting to see the different characters take on different personalities.

Seeing Jo turning into a happy-go-lucky girl was hysterical!

And seriously disturbing!

I have to agree Jo was just dwon right funny last night. I love the show...

yea, last night was a good one...Carter had to do it all by himself...

And Jo, man is she hot...I've always had a soft spot for a hot woman in a police uniform though...
and I hate that henry might be leaving...it worries me with such a new show

I missed the last few minutes of this week's episode - what happened with Stark and the artifact? Did Allison manage to persuade him to NOT open the door? He was still wonky from the pollen...

(note: I tape all the shows I watch because I work during the hours that they run. As luck would have it, this week's ECW episode ran five minutes over, so my tape had five minutes of wrestling and I missed the last five minutes of "Eureka")

I like this show too.

Yes, she did manage to stop him. Alision left the sheriff at the entrance to the 'tunnel' and said she knew she could get through to him. There was hugging and 'I need you's' and a very disappointed looking sheriff that sauntered away. lol

I have been watchin this show too and it Rocks!

Was watching season finale of BSG the other day and thought I recognised someone, turns out Erica Cerra who plays Dep. Joe, also played maya (the one who recieved sharon's baby) in BSG.

*Edit* Also looks like she was the one bitten by drake in the shop in Blade Trinity.

I am really sad to think that Henry is leaving!

I know! I hope he changes his mind. He's such a great character I can't imagine Eureka without him.

He is stuck in Carter's house in the next episode, so maybe the residents will convince him he is still needed. It won't be the same show without him.

I cant wait for this ep. it looks like it is just going to be soo good, and how is he going to save the day???

and I hope henry changes his mind...of course this is the scifi channel................

i love Eureka, i tape it so my kids can watch it-- they love it!!!

i only skimmed this disscussion because i am a couple weeks behind you up here-- we only had the premire two weeks ago so tonight is the third epsiode for us canuks.

i love love love that house-- i WANT one (without that creepy voice tho) pretty big house with lots of room for stuff and it makes dinner for you!!!!!

i might download the episodes to catch up with you guys so i can join the disscusion... but it looks way better on tv than on my laptop screen.

You should download them, so far I have LOVED every episode.

i love Eureka, i can't wait til tomorrow to watch the ep that i taped tonight with kids!!!! i totally do not mind sitting through it again.

tonight was the minnd wipe gizmo, thingy, device one

Yes yes. At first you think some kind of Temporal rearranger, but then it turns out to be a short term memory killer. lol

The poor Sheriff. lol

By the way, what's up with that Stark guy?

Any relation to Tony Stark? lol

New episode tomorrow! *bounces*

Yay! Good episode tonight!

Definitely a great episode!

I laughed when they referenced the movie Wargames, with the explanation of Sarah being a Wargames program. Then of course Sarah asks "Shall we play a game."

Man, that brings me back.. gotta go watch that movie now...

anyone remember those funky modems? You had to pick up the receivever of your rotary phone, and put it onto the receiver cradle

Anyways, great episode.. looking forwad to the finale

That was a great reference. I guess we know what happened to WOPR.

"Hello Doctor Faulkner. It has been some time since your last log in, March 27, 1986. Would you like to play a game of chess?"

I just love this program, I think I've watched the pilot episode 4 times and all the others at least twice...
It's just so quirky and fun!

Last nights episode was great.. I still want to know if Henry is leaving, he never said that he was going to stay last night. I also loved the excape hatch and ladder they put in the house lol.

What episode are you guys up to over there? It's shows on Sky One (Wednesdays) here in the UK under the name of "A Town Called Eureka", I think there was already some kiddies show called Eureka TV and it was to avoid confusion.
Episode 9 here tonight!

I believe they are on Ep 11.

Thanks Lee,
I've just got my daughter hooked, she watched the first ep' earlier this morning and is now having a marathon Eureka sitting...I think she up to 5 now!

I love this show!

Jack Carter is the man! So when do we do a Eureka Con?

Maybe I can get my gf to do a "Joe" costume and handcuff me

BTW the show is on iTunes for download if anyone wants to catch up!

You'd like wouldn't you? I'll handcuff you with or without a 'Joe' costume...

And where do I sign up for that.

BACK OFF FARGO...

I still find it funny hearing Fargo trying to do a Sarah Michelle Gellar voice as the house...

Scifi.com has some podcast done by colin ferguson....that you can watch with the show....well after it airs...

Ive listend to two, and was able to listen to the latest one while rewatching the last ep...when they get trapped by SARAH the house...

Also, they have the whole pilot ep availible to watch online...
I wish I could rip it, but i dont know how...mainly b/c I cant watch in full screen on my puter..

I enjoy eureka

Last night's episode Matt Frewer made a cameo as a crazy Aussie guy named Taggart I believe. Funny episode indeed.

I know I should expect this from a show filmed in the same Province as SG-1 and Atlantis, but I still did a double take when I saw a Genii "shotgun" in the drop down weapon rack.

"She hit me with the butt of a T-37 stunner, or a PQD Riot gun......I'm never going to pass that test."

yea, Tagart was in the pilot ep, and makes regular appearacnes...


I Knew the rifle looked familar, but didnt think it was a Genii weapon

Wow...so yeah, what about that season finale of Eureka?

Arrrghh I don't wanna know...it's time for me to close my eyes.

<Trying to be spoiler-free>

That was a great episode. I just have to wonder how much of that will be revisited in a few seasons, what could still play out at least. Much nicer voice for Sarah I just hope that with everything straightened out Henry will be around still next year.

Also trying to be spoiler free



yea, that was a great episode...and I hope henry sticks around also..

was also wondering if the memory that jack has will stick around for a while, and cause him some problems.


On a side note, I'm thinking about doing a Sheriff Carter costume...I know where to get the duty gear, NOT cheap at all, but I can get it...and I can get the uniform and badge, etc,etc, I would just need the patches...anybody else thought about this???

Humm last nights episode was definatly interesting to say the least. I hope that Henry stays and I do like the Nudist Jo

I thought about the Carter costume, as I already have the shirt. I looked briefly to see if they "borrowed" and existing Eureka patch, but it looks like they made a new one.

As for the season finale, I enjoyed it. It will be interesting to see how things play out.

The guy playing Stark also was in the forgettable "Starship Troopers 2."

...as an evil guy. Gee, what are the odds?

The season finale was cool. It would be interesting to see how things play out. That is if they get a chance to. So far I still have not heard anything about a second season. It is still sort of in the air.
