Starring: Colin Ferguson, Joe Morton, Jordan Hinson, Erica Cerra, Salli Richardson-Whitfield
The recent news that Eureka has been renewed for a full order of 22 episodes for a fourth season was both exciting and eye-opening, mostly because I realized that I was not watching the fourth season of Eureka now, but rather the second half of season three. Anyway, the twelfth episode of season three, and the fourth since the show returned in the summer since last fall, was my favorite. The show followed many things, one being a rivalry bowling match up between Fargo and the Eureka team and Bismarck and the Area 51 team. The interactions between the characters in this episode are brilliant and hilarious. The plot followed a pet named "Spot" that bares a lot of resemblance to flubber, which becomes a radiation eating monster that wreaks havoc across Global Dynamics and the town. Meanwhile, Lexi and Duncan are still having issues revolving around their twins (boring, but it FINALLY gets resolved). The story was exciting and captivating, the characters were near-flawless as usually, and Jack Carters seemed to be bolstering along as usual with his "Andy Griffith charm". Also, the lingering story arc of the "thing coming for Eureka" is built up more in this episode, particularly at the end when Allison decides that they need to do something about it now before they even know what it is. The trailer for next week looks like something big is going down and I can't wait to see what.
