EUReKA Fan Blog http://www.eurekafan.com/blog ...incompetent genius has never been so fun... Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:50:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Taggart Will Return http://www.eurekafan.com/blog/taggart-will-return/ http://www.eurekafan.com/blog/taggart-will-return/#comments Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:50:00 +0000 Lynn http://www.eurekafan.com/blog/taggart-will-likely-return/ In the announcement from Syfy about the renewal of Eureka for a 5th season, Matt Frewer was mentioned as a special guest star.

…a top-notch lineup of special guest stars including Ming-Na, Jaime Ray Newman, Ed Quinn, Wil Wheaton, Jamie Kennedy, Chris Parnell, Matt Frewer and Felicia Day…

Given that bit of news, it seemed very likely that we would have at least one episode where Taggart comes back to Eureka.

Then there was a post on the Eureka Unscripted blog, where the writers of Eureka hang out.

Get ready (okay, in about 4 months or so) to deck the halls… it’s been officially announced that this year there will be a Eureka holiday special!

It’s already been written, shot, and edited… and it’s frakkin’ fantastic. Guest stars include Chris Parnell (SNL, 30 Rock) and everyone’s favorite Eurekan Aussie, Taggart (Matt Frewer).

The official announcement of the Eureka holiday episode included a short description on the episode. :)

On Eureka, "as the Global Dynamics employees celebrate the season at the company holiday party, staff member Dr. Noah Drummer (Chris Parnell) nearly absconds with a volatile experiment. The halls get seriously decked when Dr. Drummer’s unstable hydrogen crystal starts to grow at a frightening rate."

Frewer, who was an early regular on the series, will return as the character Taggert.

So woohoo! I’ll certainly be thrilled to see Jim Taggart again. Taggart was always a huge favorite for me in the first two seasons of Eureka!

The episode will air in December. I’ll let you know when I find out on exactly what day the episode will air.

I was never more happy to see a character show up than I was to see Nathan Stark return to Eureka. For anyone who has watched the episode The Ex-Files, you’ll know that his visit wasn’t real, but I loved it anyway. As someone who has always loved the chemistry between Stark and Carter, the byplay was excellent, even if he was just a figment of Carter’s imagination!

Stark is probably dead in this universe too, but I have noted that it’s never been explicitly stated, so although it might not be the smartest thing to do, I’m okay with keeping my hopes up that we see him again sometime. :)

You can download or watch online if you missed it, because it’s an episode that really shouldn’t be missed: The Ex-Files.

Another interesting note (fangirl moment here): Ed Quinn / Nathan Stark goes shirtless in one spot and the episode is worth watching just for that! ;-)

Friday, September 10th is the Mid-Season Finale of the series. Mark your calendar! I don’t’ know about you, but I certainly won’t be missing that one. (Actually, I don’t miss any of them. LOL.)

Frankly, it could go either way, but so far, I am enjoying it immensely. I think the show creators have managed to take the familiar and turn it, just slightly, to give us something entertaining and different, without being so different that it ruins the show. They walked a fine line over the first few episodes of the season setting things up and now they’re really starting to pay off. Just a few of my favorite moments have been with the development of the non-relationship between Jo and Zane, and the Zoe twist. In fact, I’ve really enjoyed all the relationships this season.

I’m still anxious about what’s come, but overall, season 4 has been excellent! I could continue to watch this show for many, many years to come.

Eureka returns to the Syfy channel.

Founder’s Day airs July 9 at 8 PM Central (9 PM Eastern). The fourth-season premiere finds the quirky town poised to celebrate its 60th anniversary. Sheriff Carter, still reeling from the departures of Zoe and Tess in the last episode, goes for a jog and runs into the enigmatic Dr. Trevor Grant (James Callis). Since this is Eureka we’re talking about, you can go ahead and assume that Carter wasn’t supposed to meet the man who played Baltar in Battlestar Galactica, and that something has gone very, very wrong while Carter was out jogging. – From TVGuide.com

You can even interact with Eureka tonight at 8 Central / 9 Eastern at Syfy Connect. Why would you want to interrupt the show though? I can’t imagine.

My cable is down so I’m not as happy as I should be, but I’ll have it back up before next week, and I’ve looked at the Syfy schedule so I know I’ll have my chance to catch the episode as soon as I can get my Syfy channel working again…

Frankly, I still have internet. I might have to take things into my own hands. Amazon is the best deal online for commercial free episodes and I’m not afraid to use it! :) My computer hooks up quite nicely to my TV and I’ve watched my share of TV that way.

I really don’t want to miss this show.

If you go to the Syfy.com page for Eureka and watch the short trailer, it hints at an awesome new season. I know what I’m hoping for (several things, in fact) but I’m almost afraid to speculate because I don’t want to be wrong.

Anyway, make sure you’re ready for EUREKA on JULY 9th, 2010! It’s COMING BACK.

See the trailers below for details!

I can’t believe the season 3 eps are already over!

I thought I would take the time to go over some of my favorites of the second part of the season. The following Eureka ep list is my guide to all things good in the back half of Eureka’s third season.

Welcome Back, Carter

As a mid-season opener pretending to be a season premiere, Welcome Back, Carter (WBC) was a fantastic showcase of all the things I like about Eureka, and Sheriff Andy, I can only pray that he returns for a visit.

It’s Good to Be Green

This one was a fun episode all the way around, but still, nothing beats the laugh-out-loud humor of WBC.

Have an Ice Day!

Taggart is back! Who knows if he’ll show up again, but it was great to see him. Zane was crazy, but that’s okay. I am, however, getting a little sick of seeing him sick all the time! He’s become attached to that hospital bed.

Finally, I have to say, I’ll be looking into the whole Zoe thing…

It looks great, but I really have to wonder what the episode name means—it has me stumped.

Frankly, I don’t know what they’re thinking! Eureka is a fabulous show and I can’t see why it wouldn’t have garnered any Emmy nominations, unless it has something to do with the timing of the show’s air dates. There was a long break between the first half of season three and the second half (which is finally airing, thank you).

Regardless, I think the show deserved better. The actors are all fabulous and the show itself is wonderful entertainment. Season three’s episodes can speak for themselves!

I’m looking forward to seeing Jo mix things up a little!

Finally, if Syfy’s description is anything to go by, we also get to see the new girl.

Syfy says: “Dr. Tess Fontana shakes things up in Carter’s world when she’s brought in by Allison to re-open Section Five.”

If you haven’t watched the mid-season premiere of Eureka tonight, you’ll want to skip reading this post, because I just watched it and I have a few things to say. First, it was great! I loved the episode, and if you’re a fan, you’re not going to want to miss it. Now, for the rest, you’ll need to keep reading…

After watching Welcome Back, Carter (the mid-season premiere of Eureka), I have to say I’m hoping to see Andy again, even if it’s just for one more episode some time down the road.

Welcome Back, Carter takes off where the series left off at mid-season: Carter out of a job and Allison pregnant.

But that’s okay, because he’s just been replaced—by a robot. Sheriff Andy, to be precise, who has a southern accent and an aw-shucks manner that I was sure would turn out to be an act.

I turned out to be wrong, and that’s one of the lovely things about this episode. I expected the usual bad-guy-takes-over-and-Carter-has-to-prove-it-and-save-the-day. But that’s not what happened at all.

Andy was a funny, great guy and I really, really hated to see him go at the end. This is one character I would love to see more of—then again, he might just give Carter a run for his money when it comes to charming the viewers. Andy stole the show!

Welcome Back, Carter—a new EurekaFan favorite!

Tell me what you thought of this episode…
