I even like the theme song. Eureka is really a great show and this episode takes the cake as the best on the summer season right now. Revolving around a mysterious and potentially threatening device being built overnight, Jack, Jo and his gang try and find the source and the intentions of the device. Meanwhile, Fargo has a "love triangle" issue when his old car "Tabby" won't stop stalking him when he buys a newer model. This episode had everything, humor, excitement, mystery and the impact of a riveting episode that kept you guessing up until the very end when it slam the door shut and smashed to black. Jack Carter (Ferguson) is easily one of my favorite characters on television, right up there with House, Denny Crane, and John Locke. He's funny, charming, and his audience-level intelligence in a town full of geniuses helps to get the viewer to understand the techno babble the other characters are running off. It's become a frequent joke of the show to have Carter stop and use phrases like "in English" and "small words" as the scientists of Global Dynamic rant about what is destroying Eureka this Friday. But this episode when beyond episodic pseudo-crisis's that happen every episode, this one gave you the feeling that something big was happening, and it didn't disappoint and kept me engage throughout the 60 minute display. I'm very excited for next week, the trailer look phenomenal and the geniuses of Eureka are MORE than brilliant. Eureka continues to be a must-watch summer series for those looking for comedy, mystery, and sci-fi.
