I don't need the writers to go out on a particularly funny or goofy tone. Eureka has always been able to hit some poignant emotional notes, and I keep being surprised that many people don't seem to like or remember that. The io9 recapper is "that's not this show". The show that killed Stark? Had Henry wipe Jack? Killed Kim? It's always been that show to me, and I was not so much hoping it would go out that way as simply expecting it.

And those are the performances of Colin's I have always liked the best, for over twenty years now--the "thought you were gonna laugh?"ones. I've always considered it a characteristic strength of his. So if the last plotline of the first show that properly showcased his talent highlights that, I will be a happy little TheatreSports judge.

I agree with not hating the tone. In terms of Holli, I don't hate her, but I do think her potential was wasted early on. At some point, pretty early in her arc, she became a fantasy geek-girl prize for the geek boys to win. And this season she has been heavily damseled besides. And note that her deaths and illnesses tend to be seen as Fargo's tragedies, not hers.

I really enjoyed the last two episodes. I'm kind of holding my breath for the finale because I have no idea what's going to happen (and I like that).

Yeah, there have been few Eureka episodes I have not enjoyed. I wish Holli had been handled differently, but since next episode is the last one, it is way late to say that.

I have to say, I'm fucking astonished at how much I've liked Eureka. And I don't mean that because Colin's in it. Or because he's not ridiculously talented and kind of my favourite...well, precisely because, I guess. What in god's green earth were the chances of that Even counting the Degree debacle of season three, how come things worked out?

I'm still in utter disbelief. Like, the John Rogers thing I can kind of handle, but this is still incredibly weird.

I both like and remember the poignant bits that you are speaking about, but my favorite part of Eureka has always been the goofy stuff and Colin's physical comedy. I guess I just feel that this season hasn't been very balanced. There has been too much dark for me, without enough goofy, especially for the final season.

Holly doesn't bug me at all, but ever since the Zorro fantasy episode with Jo and Fargo, I was hoping that they would end the show with those two together. It doesn't look like it is ever going to happen now, which makes me sad.

How funny is it that Wil Wheaton ended up in both playing recurring brainy douchebags?

I'm mostly holding out for a Zoe farewell appearence in the last episode. That would bring things pleasantly full circle.

Yes, this. The best best part of the show was Zoe and Carter's relationship. I wish she had been in more episodes the last couple of seasons.

Seriously. Colin mentioned he'd probably mainly hang with Wil at SDCC, and I was, like, no, that's John's friend...wait...ah, dizzy, how do you both overlap in this weird place?
