8/13/10
Mini-robot Emo is a parenting skills homework project for Kevin (Trevor Jackson), so when Jo (Erica Cerra) catches Emo spying on her in the shower, everyone assumes Kevin set it up. Taken aback, Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) agrees to let Kevin go camping with Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Fargo (Neil Grayston) so the teen can have some guy time and, more importantly, guy talk. But the trip is no excuse for Kevin to avoid his homework, and Allison insists that Kevin bring Emo. Another, more unwelcome addition to the expedition - for Carter, anyway - is Grant (James Callis). Meanwhile, back in Eureka, Henry (Joe Morton), growing ever fonder of Grace (Tembi Locke), takes an enormous risk and tells her the truth about how he's not the man she thinks he is.

Jo (Erica Cerra), on the other hand, is done with love for now and just wants to get her house rebuilt. But that project is on hold because hunky paleo-anthropologist Dr. Derek Thurgood (John Reardon) says he found ancient human remains at the site and refuses to allow the build to continue. His former student Zoe offers to help at the dig, causing Carter to wonder if her interest is anthropology or the anthropologist.

Carter and Zoe are forced to consider the worst when they find Thurgood apparently encased in stone.

Closer than they've ever been before, Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) and Carter (Colin Ferguson) join forces personally as well as professionally when Jo (Erica Cerra) and Fargo (Neil Grayston) enlist them to help find a stolen Global Dynamics project.

7/25/11
The Astraeus mission crew will be small, so Eureka's scientists are in a fevered competition to get on board. Fargo (Neil Grayston) and Dr. Holly Marten (Felicia Day) share the daunting task of evaluating the eager candidates -- and a growing attraction to each other. While Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) insists that she does not want a place on the trip to Titan, a discovery from her other-timeline self brings this into question. Among the competing scientists, including the curiously familiar Dr. Lee (Stan Lee), Dr. Parrish (Wil Wheaton) is especially determined to be selected. When Fargo cuts him in the first round, Parrish is livid. Will he seek revenge? To ensure safety on the Astraeus mission as well as in Eureka, Zane (Niall Matter) has engineered a cutting-edge security system, called P.A.L.s -- Predictive Algorithm Lenses. These contacts give anyone wearing them an immediate readout of the level of risk for whatever, or whomever, they are looking at. While Fargo and Jo (Erica Cerra) love the devices, Carter (Colin Ferguson) is less trusting but agrees to test a pair. The P.A.L.s offer a helpful peek into the future, but what Carter and Jo don't see might lead to a deadly meltdown.

8/1/11
The town gets a workout as the Astraeus candidates strive to meet the mission's physical fitness requirements. Jo Lupo (Erica Cerra) is running boot camp, Zane (Niall Matter) and Grace (Tembi Locke) are pushing themselves to the limit, and Fargo (Neil Grayston) is stunned to find that even he and Dr. Holly Marten (Felicia Day) have to qualify for the mission physically. He is even more stunned to learn that Holly has been spending time with his nemesis, Dr. Parrish (Wil Wheaton). Happy to sit out the exercise craze, Carter (Colin Ferguson) is excited to investigate what he thinks is an ordinary bank robbery. He's quickly reminded that Eureka is anything but ordinary after he finds that the entire bank is missing, with dangerously volatile antimatter stored inside. When Carter finds the bank, it's 50 feet up in the air with more of the town rising by the minute. He and Henry (Joe Morton) race to solve the microgravity epidemic before what went up comes down - fast - in an explosion that will obliterate the town. Meanwhile, Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) is overwhelmed with work. When she starts to experience alarming incidents of memory loss, she first blames stress, but finally gives herself a comprehensive brain scan. What Allison finds is deeply disturbing, but what she tells Carter is more shocking still.
15 Omega Girls

Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) is back in command at GD but Carter (Colin Ferguson) is certain that something is seriously wrong with her. He persuades Henry (Joe Morton) and Zane (Niall Matter) to snoop into her medical files. What they find prompts Carter to try to imprison Allison, but before he can, Beverly Barlowe (Debrah Farentino) releases a compound that knocks Carter out - along with everyone else in town.

What Beverly doesn't know is that two people have escaped her net. Jo Lupo (Erica Cerra) finds a very chilly reception when she picks up Zoe Carter (Jordan Hinson) at the airport.

16 Of Mites And Men
8/15/11
Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) is almost positive that she has fully recovered from Beverly's attack, but Carter's (Colin Ferguson) overprotective attitude, though sweet, isn't helping. Even worse, Senator Wen (Ming-Na) refuses to reinstate Allison as interim director of Global Dynamics, further undermining her confidence. When Carter discovers that the Astraeus mission's construction mites are devouring the very structure of GD, can Allison rise to the challenge? Clueless about the crisis unfolding, Jo (Erica Cerra), Fargo (Neil Grayston), Holly (Felicia Day) and Parrish (Wil Wheaton) find themselves locked up together in isolation, a surprise psychological stress test for the mission. As the four embark on task after bizarre task, tempers - and temperatures - heat up after Zane (Niall Matter) gatecrashes the test and Larry (Christopher Jacot) tweaks the chamber's settings to gauge their reactions.

While Carter and Henry try to find the source of the contamination, Fargo (Neil Grayston) and Holly (Felicia Day) struggle to remain focused on their Astraeus training despite their growing attraction. The pair have decidedly different ideas about how to handle the situation and Zane's glib advice just adds to their frustration.With Warren watching their every move, Carter and Allison work together to halt the deadly deterioration of Eureka's atmosphere, but it falls to another couple to help save the day. Fargo and Holly must get past their issues to execute a daring, dangerous mission -- in the midst of a toxic snowstorm.
18 This One Time at Space Camp
8/29/11
The Astraeus clock is ticking as the nervous candidates appear before Senator Wen (Ming-Na) for their final evaluations. One by one, each aspiring crew member is fitted with a memory reader to reveal their deeper motives. Warren Hughes (Wallace Shawn) uses the same device on Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) as part of their appeal to his ruling against their relationship -- although he warns them not to expect a reversal of his decision. Many facts come to light in the Astraeus interviews. Senator Wen learns that Holly (Felicia Day) has been an over-achiever since birth, Zane (Niall Matter) learned to improvise -- not always legally -- as a lonely teen, Fargo (Neil Grayston) has always had more smarts than he's been given credit for, and Jo (Erica Cerra) is obsessive about rising to a challenge. A series of bizarre attacks around town threaten to derail the Astraeus mission, the acts all the more mysterious for appearing oddly familiar. When Carter realizes what is happening, he takes Henry (Joe Morton) on a hair-rising ride to save the life of the man who set out to destroy Carter and Allison's happiness.
19 One Small Step...
9/12/11
While the Astraeus crew completes the final preparations for their mission, Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Taggart (Matt Frewer) try to find out who -- or what -- melted a cow belonging to a member of the crew. The issue grows in urgency when it becomes clear that the bovine is only the first victim. Has Dr. Parrish (Wil Wheaton), envious of the adventure that Fargo (Neil Grayston) and Holly (Felicia Day) are about to embark on, gone too far? After turning down her chance to be on the Astraeus, Jo (Erica Cerra) begins to question what she really wants from her life. Titan-bound Zane (Niall Matter) is less than sympathetic but Taggart understands her need to find her own place in the world. Meanwhile, seeing their friends preparing for months of separation from each other, Carter and Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) contemplate the next level in their relationship. During a routine shipment of supplies to the Astraeus landing site, a malfunction of the FTL technology strands Deputy Andy (Kavan Smith) on Titan.

20 One Giant Leap
9/19/11
With the Astraeus countdown underway, Carter (Colin Ferguson) hopes Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) and Kevin (Trevor Jackson) will decide to move in with him. Personal issues get shelved when Carter and Jo (Erica Cerra) investigate a mysterious attack on the presidential convoy. Initial clues point to super-environmentalist Dr. Plotkin (Dave Foley), but when cosmic anomalies start popping up all over town, Plotkin's radical research looks like it might save the day. But not for long... At Global Dynamics, as Henry (Joe Morton) and Senator Wen (Ming-Na) oversee final launch preparations, Fargo (Neil Grayston) and Holly (Felicia Day) make some preparations of their own. Henry and Grace (Tembi Locke) exchange wistful goodbyes while Jo's farewell to Zane (Niall Matter) carries a deeper meaning he does not yet suspect. Carter and Plotkin quickly discover that their solution is only temporary and that Eureka faces certain annihilation. Their one hope is an insanely dangerous plan that puts Carter in the direct path of earth-shattering forces -- but neither he nor anyone else realizes that another threat, much worse, looms over the Astraeus mission and its crew.

In Eureka's "Do You See What I See," the quaint town of geniuses is transformed into animated versions of themselves. Sheriff Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Allison Blake (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) are secretly planning the perfect holiday surprise for their kids.

About this show

For years, the government has been relocating the world's geniuses (and their families) to the picturesque Pacific Northwest town of Eureka, where daily life straddles the line between unprecedented innovation and total chaos. U.S. Marshal Jack Carter finds this out firsthand when he wrecks his car and becomes stranded there. After the town's eccentric inhabitants unleash a scientific creation still unknown to the outside world, Carter steps in to restore order and consequently is let in on one of our country's best-kept secrets. From unrequited love to professional jealousy, from addiction to depression, the problems of Eureka's townsfolk grow from the myriad of life's everyday challenges. But with the population's unique talents, troubled psyches and limitless resources, these small-town concerns have a way of becoming big-time problems. It is at that intersection, where human frailty and super-science collide, that Eureka begins.

I miss this show so much. It was one of those fun, good-spirited stories with a mix of SciFi and intriguing characters. Not filled with gore, sex, horror or the usual cynical content that passes for popular in today's culture. This is family-friendly humorous adventure akin to Doctor Who. The characters included Jack Carter, the well-meaning doofus sheriff who managed to pull this town of geniuses together and keep them from accidentally destroying the world. The show lasted only 5 full seasons (actually 7 since Seasons 4 & 5 where split over two years each) before falling victim to SyFy's killer cancellation curse. Season 1 established the main characters. Seasons 2 & 3 played up various relationship and Big Bad triangles, perhaps even losing it's way a bit. But Season 4 reimagined the main cast with a clever time shift and brought a direction to the series that lasted until it's very end. Unlike other shows that ended early, you do get closure (a much fought for finale episode) yet feel you were brought along for a fun ride. As it is I still miss Jack, Alison, Henry, Grace, Jo, Zane, Fargo, Holly, Vincent, Zoe, Kevin, Jenna and Baby Carter. I wish Netflix would pick it up again.

Eureka! I randomly chose this show to 'Binge Watch' as I recover from Knee reconstruction Surgery, and I got hooked. (*Note: Mini spoiler) While 'US Ranger' was transporting a 'Teen' Prisoner while driving in bad weather avoiding falling branches etc, all of a sudden, they are blinded by a bright light in the opposite direction, A vehicle mirroring their exact weaving in the Road only they are able to straighten up in time for the Prisoner to look in the other vehicle, only to see...HER FACE!

Eureka isn't usually as good as I remember it being. The intro gives it away, really- there are a lot of fantastical, sci-fi things happening, but it tends to overpower interesting character interactions (It's a little difficult to have meaningful dialogue when "Oh no something terrible is happening again") The acting is good though, and the later seasons are better at pretty much everything. Watch if you want to see good, solid sci-fi problem solving, because that's most of Eureka. If you do decide to watch, you can probably skip the first (and maybe second) season, everything you need is given through exposition or can be inferred from context.
