A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I always figured pro wrestling was a work of fiction. Science fiction, nsm.

I dunno, do you have an earthly explanation for Vince McMahon?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

This is like the cartoon network showing SAVED BY THE BELL, isn't it?

At least that was explicable via the cartoonish characterizations.

What's the premise of that again?

Fish out of water. Guy (Colin) stumbles onto a town of weird happenings. Ends up staying as the sheriff, or summat. It's basically a testing ground for super secret tech and many weird things happen. He's our POV character.

Here's a proper summary, from the Sci Fi Channel itself:

SMALL TOWN, BIG SECRET!

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 (Colin Ferguson) 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. Produced by SCI FI Channel, in association with NBC Universal Television Studio, Eureka will premiere Tuesday, July 18, at 9/8C, only on SCI FI.

From unrequited love to professional jealousy, from addiction to depression, the problems of Eureka's townsfolk grow from life's myriad of 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.

Executive produced by Andrew Cosby and Jamie Paglia, Eureka stars Colin Ferguson (The Opposite of Sex), Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid), Joe Morton (Terminator 2: Judgment Day), Jordan Hinson (Go Figure), Debrah Farentino (CSI: Miami) and Ed Quinn (CSI: New York), among others.

Eureka: A (Confidential) History

As WWII came to a close with mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the role that science and technology would play in the continued security of our world became catastrophically apparent. We nearly lost the race to build the bomb; America could not risk such a close call again.

With the help of Albert Einstein and other trusted advisors, President Harry S. Truman commissioned a top-secret development in a remote area of the Pacific Northwest that would serve to protect and nurture America's most valuable intellectual resources. Here our nation's greatest thinkers, the über-geniuses working on the next era of scientific achievement, would be able to live and work in a supportive environment. A community was created to rival the most idyllic of America's small towns, with one major difference — this town would never appear on any maps … at least, none that haven't been classified "eyes only" by the Pentagon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh.

Is it supposed to be funny?
