Ha, I was just coming to post this [link] with this blurb:

"[Producers] Bruce Miller and Jaime Paglia have brought a creative vitality to Eureka that has kept it fresh and inventive," said Mark Stern, president of original content at Syfy, in a statement to THR. "Although we do not have a commitment beyond six episodes for the sixth season, we are hopeful that this will not be the end of the franchise."

...and ask, should I be hopeful?

And from here on in, I think I'm bound back to silence. How frustrating.

Damn! And... that must be hard.

"Not the end of the franchise" makes me wonder whether they are considering a spin off. But then I'm wondering how that would happen, what with the town being a kind of huge, honking, central character. Eh, I guess you could relocate... to Titan!

OK, I'll stop. But I think I will choose to be hopeful and imagine that ita is going, "Yes! Be hopeful!" rather than shaking her head sadly for me.

So, per sumi's Boxed Set [link] I guess it was the shaking head thing after all. Well, that's a bummer. I will miss that ensemble and those stories; I sure hope to see them all find happy, new homes. (The actors, that is).

Let's just say that the retraction startled me.

Aw, really? That sucks.

Apparently I am the most okay Eureka fan in the world about it, but, you know. All those people out there spewing bile are talking about my friend's job, and it's really irritating.

For reals? At the cast?

No, they're mad at the network, but the reality is they have no idea what went down, and I'm pointlessly frustrated. I thought I knew how Allyson felt, but, nope. But it's all on me to make the space and avoid the places where people are saying *anything*.

Well, it's a pity, but they've had a pretty good run.
