Welcome Back, Carter: Andy steals the show

Spoiler alert! 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!

4 Days Until Eureka Returns

Lynn — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 20:41:17 +0000

I’m looking forward to Eureka’s return. Not the least of which to see how the show is going to go forward after the shocking changes that were introduced at the mid-season break.

With Carter out of a job, and Allison pregnant with Stark’s baby, the show has opened itself up for some interesting stories.

Also, there’s been Eureka news and spoilers that excite me that are unrelated to the mid-season ending episodes. I want to see how Carter handles another relationship for a while, because after thinking about it, I really want to see a break between him and Allison.

After Stark’s death (or not), I don’t think I’ll like it if Allison is ready to jump into another relationship too soon. I’m also hoping to see Stark again, and if I were to get my way, that would put a damper on anything happening between Allison and Carter.

So, I’m not too disappointed to see the show moving away from a strictly Carter / Allison pairing.

What about you? Missing the spark already, or will you be happy to see something different?

Carter’s future in Eureka: S.A.R.A.H has a poll and you get to vote

Here’s a link for the poll S.A.R.A.H.’s running. http://www.vizu.com/poll-vote.html?n=121250

I voted. More than once. :-)

If you’ve watched From Fear to Eternity, you know that Carter was fired. So how did I vote in the poll?

I think Carter should be reinstated. So, I voted Yes. Although there are lots of great plot opportunities for the show if he doesn’t, I like him as the sheriff. Do you think Carter would he have to leave Eureka if he weren’t reinstated? What role would he have in the town?

I’ve thought about this a little bit. He could be a detective, like Monk, freelance but essentially working directly for the local sheriff’s department. Only… Carter isn’t a Monk.

He could be a resident of the town. On several previous episodes, Zoe has revealed a flair for doing well in the Eureka school Tesla. But his role would be greatly diminished.

I don’t really think any of this will happen, because I happen to believe he will eventually be reinstated in some capacity as a law enforcement official in Eureka.

Anyway, I’m definitely interested in your ideas of what Carter would do if he weren’t sheriff, if you care to share!
