Eureka will be returning to the TV in July and I’m getting myself worked up over possible changes and happenings in the quirky little town of geniuses.

Last I remember, Carter was fired (saw that and cringed at the end of that episode), Allison was pregnant, and Nathan (and Eva Thorne) was gone.

What a way to start the rest of the season!

My biggest hope is that I won’t get lost on shownight. The series has moved from its usual Tuesday slot to the Friday slot that was held by Battlestar Galactica. I see this working out in one of two ways for me. Either I love having something of a lighter fare to watch on Friday evenings in place of BSG, or I constantly forget that Eureka has moved from the lovely Tuesday night spot.

I hope the former is true. I fear the latter.

I’m also excited to hear that there might be a love interest for Carter soon! I think the pregnancy kind of makes Allison off-limits for the time being (she has to have time to grieve properly, don’t you think?). There are a few more hints of things to come in an article up on Scifi Wire and I give that link on the spoilers & rumors page.

You kind of have to hack the bot to get to the later dates, but here’s a direct link to the list in case you’re as interested as I am.

Link: SCIFI schedule bot for April 23, 2009

My one concern about the validity of the listing? April 23rd is a Thursday. Eureka has always aired on Tuesdays. I checked the Tuesdays though, and found no reference to the show.

I only got 8 of 10 right and it was the last two that messed me up. Alas, I’ve let my Taggart skills get rusty and now I’m going to have to rewatch some Tag-centric episodes to get back up to speed on this missing-in-action character. The good news—don’t keep reading if your definition of spoilers is very broad—is that there are rumors that say Tag is coming back in the second half of season three (from the Eureka Panel at Comic Com back in July) {See this comment}.

Here’s my ranking. Can you beat my score? :-) Give it a go, I’ll bet you’ll do all right.

I’m ranked A beautiful mind in the Jim Taggart quiz, created by The SCI FI Channel at SCIFI.COM’s Create-A-Quiz. To create your own quiz, click here.

The site has videos spoofing those late night infomercials, only these are selling products you could only find in Eureka. The Tooth Bomb commercial is cute, but the one for Fat Fizz is even better!

However, my favorite of the Made in Eureka videos is the Verminator commercial.

Verminator
Pesky rodent problems? Don’t exterminate … verminate! With the Made in Eureka Verminator.
“Mercy or mulch”–I couldn’t decide if I should groan or laugh.
