Revisiting older Eureka episodes
Now’s a great time to revisit older episodes. As the July 10th premiere date gets closer, I’ll probably find myself watching many of the more recent episodes. Now, though, the time is right to watch earlier episodes, those episodes from season one and two that I most loved and that I can’t forget.
My Top Ten List of Favorite Season One and Season Two Eureka Episodes
- Eureka Pilot – I was hopeful when I sat down to watch this Scifi Channel premiere that I was watching something that was going to be interesting and fun. I couldn’t have been more thrilled with what I ended up seeing that night. Eureka was fresh, funny, exciting, and addicting. I could hardly wait to see more of these wonderful characters and to date, they’ve never let me down.
- Many Happy Returns – On the heels of the pilot came Many Happy Returns. I knew Eureka was strange and different, but as soon as I saw Susan, apparently alive and well, I realized just how great this series was going to be.
- Right As Raynes – This episode seemed to me to be a turning point for Nathan, giving him a softer side and making me like him even as he antagonized Carter more than ever.
- Before I Forget - I enjoyed meeting Henry’s former love, Kim, and getting an episode that focused so heavily on Henry.
- H.O.U.S.E. Rules – Oh, how could I forget B.R.A.D.? This episode was pure fun.
- Once In A Lifetime – This was a heartbreaker of an episode in so many ways. Until season three, this stood out as the best of the series. It remains my favorite episode of both seasons one and two.
- Try, Try Again – The focus on Fargo was refreshing.
- Unpredictable – Carter’s ex-wife put in an appearance, finally, and the results were predictably unpredictable–in an interesting and entertaining way.
- Noche de Suenos – Those naughty dreams… :) I still listen to “The Mask of Fargo” just for fun. (From the Eureka Soundtrack.)
- Maneater – I know I’m not supposed to adore these kinds of episodes, but I do. I love it when the characters are forced out of character by outside influences. (Alienated almost made it on the list… but I ran out of numbers between 1 – 10.)
If you want to rewatch any of these episodes, check out my Eureka episode downloads page for links to buy them.
I had to leave so many great episodes off the list. Just know that I wish there were more than 10 slots in top ten list!
Which episodes from seasons one and two would make it into your top ten? I’d love to know.

I really enjoyed ALL of the Eurkea episodes, but if I had to pick a couple of favs…
Right As Raynes – I enjoyed this one because I enjoyed Nathan. I love Carter, but Nathan is the perfect nemesis for him.
Before I Forget – I too enjoyed meeting Henry’s former love, Kim. Henry is one of the best characters on this show. The actor is awesome and has a well-honed talent! I almost had a fit when I thought he was leaving the show!
I can’t wait for Eureka’s Season Two to begin!

We’re into season three this year, and I’m excited about the new season too!
I hope they follow up on a lot of things, but specifically (and this is not a spoiler because I haven’t heard a thing about it) I would love it if Tag came back and there was a nice little love triangle going on between Taggert, Jo, and Zane.
Also, I would love to see a Carter-Allison-someothergirl love triangle, with Allison chasing Carter and Carter chasing someone else. However, I don’t see that happening–but I can wish. :)
