Watch "Eureka"
more . . .
I'm not a gamer and I am not a reality fan, but I am a big fan of real
science fiction. This show actually allows you to think of the
possibilities presenting interesting scientific "what ifs". However,
it's great entertainment for various ages and IQs. I thought the
characters were also introduced and developed quite nicely along with
the story, something you don't see very often in many movies of this
genre today, and so many of which, I can't get through the first half
hour without feeling bored and changing the channel. This show will
keep me coming back for more, if following episodes prove as
interesting as this one. It does have a lot of promise. I like the way
the main character brings the grounded "regular guy" comments and
common sensibility to the show. Having worked around rocket scientists,
they can send us into space, but you don't want them to drive your car.
I agree with another reviewer, it does remind you of "American Gothic",
because of the character development, sort of an "American Gothic"
meets "Star Trek Next Generation". Hopefully, they will continue with
this group of characters and not dilute it with a constant onslaught of
new characters like "Farscape" - if you missed a few episodes, it was
as though the entire cast changed. I have high hopes and will be easy
to find on Tuesday night.
