Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I was under the impression that the announcement for Eureka's ending came a year and change ago, and that they were ultimately given a significantly shorter number of episodes to wrap it up than originally anticipated. I know it has been ages since Colin mentioned working ON Eureka directly on Facebook/twitter. But I am pretty sure it is less than two years.
I have enjoyed this last season quite a bit. And when I think about how hard they must have worked to condense the story into the time allotted, I am even more impressed. I think the producers, writers, crew and cast did an excellent job of sending Eureka on its way with grace and affection.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Google shows that cancellation was announced in August of last year. That was at the beginning of filming the last season. They'd already started filming, I'm pretty sure. Colin was in BC.

I remember because the cancellation followed abruptly on the premature announcement of a 6th season pickup. At least with that much warning, Eureka got the chance to tie up some plotlines and plan a fitting final episode.

I was under the impression that the cancellation decision happened when they were shooting the season finale cliffhanger, and thus they had no chance to correct in mid-stream without the extra series finale episode.

Cancellation was announced a month before filming of S5 was scheduled to end. However, they knew before that, so that's a bunch of hooey for them to use as an excuse.

I do have to say, of all the related things I've seen on tumblr, [link] is the one that made me want to pull back the most, and it's the official tumblr. It's just cheesy im comparison to most of the fanstuff that comes across my dash.
