Eureka!

OMG! Chekov is actually a double agent! He works for the Russians and the US! But he's still a colonel!

And Nerus is sheriff of the town. Bwahahahaha.

I'm watching Eureka and I am loving it. It's funny but not too campy, as far as I'm concerned. The effects aren't overdone and it's also a drama. It's actually pretty good. I didn't think it would be good.

Does this show remind anyone of Stargate? It just so is like Stargate's little brother. I mean, the main character's name is JACK CARTER? *snort*

*goes back to watching*

I'm so glad someone else saw the similarities. When I heard the name "Jack Carter" I howled! (There was also a Walter which tickled me.) He's also got a wonderful, snarky quality about him that reminded me of SG1 - Jack. I like the way he's not a scientist but it was his different way of looking at things that helped solve the first crime and save the day the second time. I loved it.

The writing was great and it was very, very funny. All of the SG guest stars made Eureka feel like an AU hometown. It's already become one of my favorite sci-fi shows and I've only seen the premiere - twice. :D

I think he's the future AU lovechild of Sam and Jack. I swear. He could easily be like their grown offpsring or something. And he inherited Jack's attitude and Sam's workaholism ;)

But it was good. I enjoyed it and I was surprised.
