    Season 4 premiered today. In my opinion, this is the best Sci-Fi story on the air right now.

    Holy crap I can't believe they did that. It ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger, where after coming back from the past, the five main characters realized that they changed time somehow.

    I'm really curious what the hell is going to happen, and I'm really hoping that this new timeline isn't wiped out at the end of this season. Nice to see Kevin back as well, though!

    I'm going to start watching this from Season 1. The, IMO, best show on Syfy right now is Warehouse 13. They're doing a crossover with Eureka sometime in the next few months. :awesome

    I don't know they started out promising but they left too many things to the way side.

    The whole henry kim future thing, the artifact, that autistic kid, that group that opposed eureka durign the artifact stuff with the shrink lady.

    The henry/kim thing will probably be touched on - since after changing the future he has a wife now. The autistic kid was the one to send them back into the past - and is no longer autistic.

    I have no idea if the artifact will ever be mentioned again. They're calling this season a reboot, for better or worse.

    Tbh, I don't care that about that whole artifact business now. James Callis is in the series, wohooo! He was just SO awesome as Gaius Baltar in Battlestar Galactica, one of the best actors on TV today with the likes of Hugh Laurie and John Noble. They all play awesome characters but they play them so well...

    I'm hoping he's here to stay for at least the season! Bring it on, sport.

    I really wanted to like Eureka, but could never get past the first few episodes, might try warehouse 13, though I have read mixed reviews.

    I wanted to like Eureka too and even got through one and a half seasons before losing interest. However, I recently started Season 4 (on Hulu) and have recaptured at least a little interest, so you might want to give it another try. I also watched the first half of Warehouse 13 before the season finished and it's not bad. There are interesting portions, but it's not epic either (or maybe I just haven't watched far enough).

    Warehouse is boring. Eureka is a quirky timepass, not exceptional in any area really, but being mediocre. Cute actors and actresses though, so you do get quite bit of eye candy.

    I'm all caught up now (except the webisodes...I ended up with a crappy copy, and wont bother watching them). S4E7:

    ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

    Also, that guy that showed up after they went to '47 needs to go away. Now. I hated him in BSG (he's a terribad actor; I can't connect to his character like I can any other actor), and now I hate him even more. GTFO, sport.

    I wish fucking Grant would go die, or get sent back so that the time line will come back. If they weren't all giant pussies they'd do it. Also, who else is waiting for Stark to make a miraculous appearance that shocks Allison, and everyone, plus other heartfelt tensions that gets in the way of her feelings for Carter.

    I blame this all on Kevin. That retarded bastard. You see him all over six times in the past episodes, and then he's fucking up the time lines cause he just can't keep his hands off of shit.

    I thought it was already decided that it was, in fact, his fault and that it probably has something to do with that damn Artifact.

    About Stark
    I actually thought the "manny" was going to turn out to be Stark and it still might considering no one has seen him yet, and Stark returns this week.

    I find it interesting how they're picking up most of the dangling threads left behind. Beverly Barlowe? She hasn't been important since season 1! :p

    Makes me wonder if the Artifact's coming back.

    Does anyone know if Stark's coming back permanently or if it's a one-off? The show was much better with him there.

    I'm guessing it's a one off, Esper. I'd bet on it.

    EDIT: Just watched the sneak peek of the episode up on Syfy. Yeah, I think I'd win that bet.

    Oh em gee.

    Also, I ship Allison/Carter 4lyfe.
