Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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

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

Hey lisa, I still have it. unfortunately, I've packed my DVD-Rs, so I can't burn you a copy until next week sometime, at the earliest. Is that cool?

That would be great! Whenever you have a chance.

Thanks, nice lady!!!

I loved Martha right away, just from how she was dealing with her crazy family.

The Chicago Tribune's The Watcher TV blog has a decent (but not effusive) review of Eureka here. Mo Ryan views it as a rather innocuous summer series that she found more enjoyable from the first two eps of this season than the few she saw last summer, and she had some nice things to say about certain actors:

The best things about “Eureka” are Colin Ferguson as Eureka’s occasionally frazzled but always reliable sheriff, Jack Carter, and Joe Morton as scientist/tinkerer Henry Deacon. Ferguson has a deft way with the show’s lighter comedic aspects, and his character is a very likable, pleasant presence.

Morton gives the show some much-needed dramatic weight as a scientist who’s lost the love of his life to an experiment gone awry. The rest of the show may be a little too “X-Files lite” for me at times, but these two actors make it worth tuning in to “Eureka” -- if slightly fantastical, escapist science fiction is your thing.

Ooo! We saw a big ol' Eureka billboard the other day right by our house. "Hey, that's Colin!" we both said. Made me happy to see him up there.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Finished the season 1 Eureka DVDs this evening -- just in time for season 2 to start!

Good stuff.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Well, three episodes into Eureka (and I've seen two others on SciFi during its run), and I have to say that I adore it.

I do plan to watch the S2 premiere despite not having seen every episode. Or is this a very bad idea?

I'm not sure how many events during the latter half of the first season are going to be referenced! There was quite a lot of things that could be considered important to the characters, especially Henry.

I really am looking forward to the premiere tonight!
