Ed Quinn
Nathan Stark Pays a Visit to Eureka in The Ex-Files
Spoilers for The Ex-Files episode!
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.)
An episode title and other juicy news
Just an update of what’s been updated on the site. :-)
Nathan Stark’s Future In Eureka
NOTE THE SPOILERS ‘CATEGORY’. It really does mean there are spoilers here. ;-)
So I completely freaked. I know–I run Eurekafan.com so I should keep up with the spoilers. But I don’t. I enjoy the excitement of not knowing what’s going to happen and if I did know, then I’m not sure I’d be such a fanatic for the show.
After watching I Do Over, I went on a spoiler hunt, but I didn’t really find anything about the “death” of Nathan Stark and whether or not it is permanent. However I did find this interview, which I’ll post the relevant bits of here and let you assume what you will. With, of course, a few choice comments from me.
The entirety of this interview with Ed Quinn (Nathan Stark of Eureka) can be found at this site: MediaBlvd Magazine
When asked if he saw himself as part of Eureka for the long haul….
Of course you say, “Yeah, I’d like to be a part of it from beginning to end.” But shows change, shows evolve. And sometimes characters don’t evolve with them. So you just go in every day and every season and just try to do your best work and see where it goes. The show is kind of organic and depending on where it goes and some characters can evolve with the show and some can’t. I think you’ll see this season that there will definitely be some losses of some supporting characters, and an introduction to a bunch of new ones.
A bad sign for the reappearance of Stark, in my opinion!
When asked if he had spoilers to share….
“I think the only ones that I’m allowed to talk about…”
Definitely a hint that Ed Quinn knows something he can’t discuss.
But there is a big, big reveal this season that I think will make the first eight episodes kind of memorable, then really send the show off into a different direction.
I have hope. Stark appears to die (or fade away as he is pulled backwards in time — my own personal theory for what happened to him until someone offers a better theory to me) in I Do Over. However, I Do Over is episode number 4.
Does this mean that Nathan Stark isn’t gone for good? Why would he know about the rest of the episodes and where the direction of the show is moving if he doesn’t have a part in it? Am I reaching? I really don’t know that much about how the world goes round in the tv business…
When asked about the dynamic between Nathan Stark and Jack Carter and if it would continue into season three….
Absolutely…. The creators thought that one of the funner relationships was the Carter/Stark relationship….because a lot of the story lines got resolved, the conflict got resolved. In season one, Carter and Stark were diametrically opposed. Carter and Stark just happened to have the competition of the love for the same lady. In season 2, Stark…didn’t have a dark agenda anymore…. So all of a sudden Carter and Stark had the same objective…. In the beginning of this season there is some more of that.
In the beginning says it all.
I think that wraps it up nicely. Decide what you will, but my opinion? Stark is gone.
And I am sad.
