I glanced at recent thread titles but didn't see anything related to the new SciFi show "Eureka" so I don't know if it's been discussed yet (any links to exiting threads would be appreciated). I'm going to go out on a limb here and declare that I really liked it. Not LOVE, but really like, perhaps with an option to love (lower case) at a later date.
Firefly=LOVE
Eureka=Really Like, possibly love
I enjoyed the humor and the story line quite a bit--with the exception of the daughter's 'tude.
I laughed out loud when the head brainiac accused the security drone of touching his eye with the eye-dent scan.
Anyone else have an opinion/comment? I'd like to hear it!

I'm going to add cursing and the hurling about of things to my repertoire.

It has possibilities. I will be watching the next few episodes to see how it goes.
pros:
*the science and fx look decent
*casting looks good
*a pretty good first script
cons:
*The dog catcher character might be over the top (slapstick).
*I am always nervous about a delinquent teen as a featured character

Me too! I will be DVRing and following it. Very good writing, natural comedic and awkward human interchanges between the charactors. Folks not too plastic. Interesting story so far. Not liking the govt angle so much, but I can be won over.
Promising. Very promising.

I really liked it. While I was watching the first episode I kept thinking 'Matt Frewer should be in this', and lo and behold, he comes on screen. The show has potential, let's hope they don't muck it up.

Finally someone disscussed this!! I've been wanting to talk about it for days, but didn't want to bring it into the wrong crowd. It looks like a great show with many possibilities. Firefly is and will always be my first REAL love, but Eureka might just come in as a close second.
Edit: Wow, that came out a lot more wordy than it sounded in my head.

Did any of you see SLiTHER Nathan (Our Captain) Fillion's recent movie?
You know small town. Weird things happen. Leading man is a normal person but a little clumsy.
And there was a scene with a young girl in
a bathtub.
And the daughter's name is Zoe right?
No aliens yet...at least we think???
Liked it. Gonna watch it.

I don't think he is a dog catcher. Maybe weird-experiment-on-the-loose catcher. Why did he fire a dart at a US Marshall? Cause he was supposed to?
And maybe that wasn't a dog.

Well, he said his title was "Biological Containment Specialist" so he probably deals with all kinds of beasties.
