PostThu Sep 21, 2006 9:56 pm    Eureka

Two weeks ago Space finally aired the first two episodes of Eureka, and I watched episode 3 last Sunday.

I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with it yet, but I am thinking I will, since it is promising so far. I enjoy how they manage to saturate it with technobabble but still make it enjoyable. Plus the characters, particularly Zoe Carter and Henry Deacon, are really cool.

I think this is a pretty neat show. I watch it if I can/remember.

It looked interesting, but I just haven't had much time to watch TV, and not many shows have gotten me hooked enough to keep up.

Its main selling point is that it's amusing. The stories aren't particularly strong, but it's got pretty good character interaction and knows how to be funny.

Not really on a Joss Whedon level, but at least in the same general direction.

I'd have to agree. There doesn't really seem to be any main focus. From reading ahead I get the feel that the story arc is supposed to centre around the various conspiracies perpetrated by the government and other factions to sabotage/control Eureka's experiments and such. And some of the humour wears thin. But I've filed it firmly under the "give it a chance" column for now.
