Product DetailsPlenty of new television series need a season or two to sort themselves out, and as this three-disc, 13-episode (plus bonus features) box set from the second season (2007) reveals, the Sci-Fi Channels Eureka is still a work in progress--which is not a bad thing, considering that its one of the more provocative and ambitious shows out there. For the uninitiated, heres the basic premise: Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson), accompanied by his teenage daughter Zoe (Jordan Hinson), is stationed in Eureka, a picturesque little burg somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Eureka is hardly Anytown, USA; indeed, this is the place where "the worlds greatest thinkers" live and work, most of them at Global Dynamics, "the most advanced scientific facility in the world." Its also a place where exceedingly strange things happen on a regular basis. In Season Two, those happenings include people spontaneously combusting, becoming invisible, turning into gold, or simply disappearing (and leaving nothing behind--not even a memory that they ever existed); a "personal force field" thats growing so large and so fast that it will soon engulf the whole town, and maybe even the whole world; freaky weather that changes by the moment; and even an experiment to re-create the Big Bang inside a Global Dynamics lab, leading to some unexpected side effects. These developments are all presented with enough cool special effects and scientific techno-babble to make Eureka a perfectly viable and sometimes quite dramatic science fiction diversion. But theres more--much more. Sometimes this is a show about relationships: Jack and Zoe (custody becomes an issue when Jacks ex, played by Olivia DAbo, shows up in the early episodes); Jack and Allison Blake (Salli Richardson), Global Dynamics new boss (their growing attraction is complicated by the continued presence of her ex, a genius scientist type); Jack and his pal Henry (Joe Morton), who blames Jack for his girlfriends death but gradually learns theres more to it than that. Much of the time its a comedy, heavy on the quirks; and, in a change from the first year, its also a serial, with several story arcs continuing over the course of the season. All of that can make Eureka a but convoluted and hard to get a handle on, but this show is a keeper. Extensive bonus features include deleted scenes, gag reels, podcast commentaries, and a good deal more. --Sam Graham Product Reviews
