The stakes were generally low, but it was a great show overall

The eureka-warehouse 13-haven era syfy was honestly the best time to be alive and I’m so grateful I got to experience it

I loved this show. I binged it over a week while in college. I especially loved the bookend of Jack and his daughter seeing themselves drive into Eureka for the very first time, taking episode 1 time travel shenanigans and actually reframing it as time travel shenanigans from a future problem. I think my two real gripes about Eureka are that in season 3, they basically forget Kevin exists until they come back from 1947 and he's somehow no longer autistic. And that Henry both wiping Jack's mind of 4 years and having 4 years of memories is never brought up again.

Jacks relationship with nearly every character was special. I remember the scene where Taggart rocks up from being a way for so long and they run at each other and hug and pick each up, it felt so real. And every single scene with him and Stark was hilarious and you knew they were friends. Jack had a different dynamic with everyone and they all loved him but there were a couple of them like with Henry that were really deep. I think Colin was just the kind of naturally likable guy that these on screen friendships were a bit more than an act, you can't fake some of those interactions.

The song in the series finale is one of my all-time favorite written-for-television songs ever. Bear McCreary was firing on all cylinders composing that song!

Finally! Eureka will always be one of my favorites sci-fi tv shows. I enjoy how you take these shows that filled my teenage years, and made me the wierdo that I am today, and explain their quirkiness so well. Now, only Warehouse 13 is left.

Absolutely loved this show! It being a "cozy" show is dead on. Special shout out to that second Christmas special being one of the most memorable moments to me (loved the animation swapping and stuff) and oddly enough the finale. The idea of the show ending where it began has stuck with me even years later and makes that pilot cooler.

My kids grew up watching "Eureka" and the animated Christmas Special for them is as important as "The Grinch" is for me.

Been rewatching Eureka recently, and have been perpetually dissapointed you didn’t have a full video on it, so this is a real treat.

I loved this show when I was younger, it was one of my top 5 sci-fi shows, though I will say one of my favorite scenes was when they went full circle with the pilot scene where as Jack and Zoe are leaving town in the finale they pass themselves from the pilot as they are driving into Eureka.

This was my comfort show growing up, thanks for doing a video on it

tbh havent watched the video yet but this is proof that eureka wasn't a fever dream i had and that's amazing on its own

The season 4 Blu-ray had the original version of the premier that was something like 6 or 8 minutes longer. You get to see the whole opening scene where Carter and Tess break up. When it starts out, you're not even meant to realize that they're not really in the same room, until Tess flickers. And they kind of (quickly) go over the history that the audience has missed over the past in-canon year. (Apparently not much happens in Eureka when the audience isn't watching.) He _did_ go to visit her in Australia, they had a great time... and then he inevitably came back home to a different continent many months ago. And even though this is all being established in like 2-3 minutes of dialog, by the end of it, you're kind of on the same page as them. They've given this long-distance thing a thorough and extended try and it ain't working for either of them. And she mercifully is the one to say it out loud. The scene had to do the job of _very_ quickly bringing the whole Carter and Tess arc to an effective end, and I gotta say, it did so fairly competently... and then they cut it out and "snuck" a snippet of it into the "previously on". I too originally thought that I'd missed an episode. The rest of the bits they cut out were mostly Carter and Grant trading more insults, plus a little extra padding here and there. But losing that opening scene was a bad call.

I was glad to hear your comparison to The Andy Griffith Show, as I've always made that comparison myself. You've got a common sense sheriff, also a single father, taking care of a town full of weird but lovable citizens...the smart house called Sarah was a sci-fi version of "Aunt Bea". I always hoped they would have an episode where Sarah the smart house tried and failed to make home made dill pickles as a subplot...that's an Andy Griffith Show reference if you didn't get it...

I was a huge fan of the mini-series The Lost room! So when eureka and Warehouse 13 came out I had high hopes for them!

@Blasted2Oblivion lol. My friend didn't like the change but i loved it.

There's a deleted scene in the season 3 Blu-rays where Carter is talking to Henry (while Henry's in prison) about the whole mind-wipe thing. Like he's remembered it on his own and now he's just straight up confronting Henry with it. It's been a while since I've watched it, so I don't recall how much of his memory he'd supposedly gotten back, but I know the scene was pretty short, so there wasn't much of a chance to go into detail. I think it was just a casualty of the massive re-writes they had to do to season 3 when Salli Richardson-Whitfield got pregnant. From what they said on the commentary tracks, it seems like the creators honestly always intended to come back to it. Like it was even gonna be a major factor in their supposed final season 6. And then suddenly they were cancelled and given ONE more episode to try and wrap everything up. And all they could do was a sort of nod to it when Carter's about to step through another portal and says there's something familiar about it.

The Sopranos would be a great one to hear you breakdown next! Awesome video

Heck yeah! Can't wait to watch, you were the reason I watched Eureka!

I watched this so much, I have watched every season, and my favorite is the Christmas special, “Do You See What I See?”

Hey Slip please do Haven next. That was also a great show

This show was really well marketed, I don't even remember which magazine it is but I remember there was a two page spread for this show with a whole bunch of wierd forced perspective in it. It's been easily like over a decade since I've seen it but I still remember it distinctly

This is a blast from the past, I always loved the show and will rarely pass up on an episode; it was like comfort food.

I've missed this show. It was so good. When I was young I dreamed about living in a town like that. Then the show came out and I fell in love with it. I must have watched the series half a dozen times over the years. I was just thinking about it the other day, as my wife and I are more or less out/ caught up on good shows to binge. I think this might just warrant another rewatch.

I really appreciated that after the time travel arc they stuck with it till the end. Also, the show was a banger.

The Skyrim music at the end had me LOLing🤣.

ur channel is nostalgia critiqued fairly and honestly i stan 😂🤞🏾

The Artifact is actually an improvised line that the actors all came up with on their own. if you look at the script it was actually called 'The macguffin' Quite a genius improv i have to say

Some of the past links were epic. How Saul Rubinek would guest starred as Dr. Carl Carlson (ironically becomes a superhero which if you have ever noticed that Stan Lee names his characters like that) but, then Warehouse 13 would turn out to be in the same universe because Allison Scagliotti guest starred later as her W13 character Claudia Donovan. And when members of Eureka would guest star as different characters on W13. From Joe, Henry, Zane, Fargo (But he would be the only one who would be his own character).

Always makes my day when you upload. really would love a Mr. Robot retrospective.

Please please please tell me you’ll do a Warehouse 13 series retrospective. It was a favorite show of mine growing up, I’ve rewatched it 1000x and I think it (mostly) holds up

Man, I just found You and it seems in the past we'd have maaaany topics to discuss, as You made a retrospective on all of my favorites series from 10-15 years (Fringe, Chuck, Eureka, Community, iZombie), so I'm guessing we have a very similar taste. It's shame that many people forget about such good series like Fringe or Eureka...

Farscape is my favorite SciFi show. But Eureka was great as well.
