Eureka?

[bookwormprinces]

Alright, flist. I've been waiting a while to ask this question. Now that Eureka is in its final season (and a finale episode with closure has been promised) and the first four seasons are still up for streaming on Netflix...is this a show that I would like and should get into? I mean, obviously cast-wise and guest-star-wise the answer would be yes

Eh, I tried, too. I saw bits of season one when I borrowed it from Faith. Ryke watched all of it, but didn't care to keep going. From what I've seen some of my friends saying about recent Eureka episodes, and being unhappy about stuff, I'm not really sorry I haven't gotten into it.

I love Eureka, and I still don't mind it, but like I told you that one time on Skype, its strength has always been the characters. The overall mythology has never been very cohesive.

For whatever reason, I just can't imagine it's a show to elicit Jeana-squees. *shrug*

If I change my mind after the finale, I'll let you know. ;-)

Aww, that makes me sad. I think I've said that before.

In the early seasons, it reminds me of early NCIS a bit - maybe with a dash of Psych? (I say as someone who's rarely watched Psych. It's Happy, mostly, till the end of the first season.) It's pretty frothy, but still managed to break my heart and definitely picked up later and Season 4, omg. They done some plot things which often sci fi shows would not follow through with that I love.

(I think it makes me sad because NO ONE TALKING TO ME ABOUT IT.)

But then, Leverage was enjoyable but didn't really capture my attention, and Sherlock's not on my list at all, so that probably says everything, huh. *g*

SHERLOCK SHOULD BE ON YOUR LIST. IT SHOULD BE ON EVERYONE'S LIST.

It's only on Jeana's list because I made her put it there. ;)

Plus, it's not a massive time investment. 9 hours, that's all.

And the characters and the acting and the writing and omg the editing and the cinematography and the acting and have I mentioned the writing and the editing?? AHHHH love this show.

*cough*

So just saying...worth a shot... ;)

I'm getting to it, I'm getting to it!

I see you've made up your mind since your original posting. But I'm going to add my thoughts anyway. Pbbbbt!

I've been a devoted follower of the show since the beginning. Okay, fine...since the Saul Rubinek episode and then I did a catch-up of the 4 episodes before it and THEN I became a devoted follower of the show. Sheesh!

The show was AWESOME! (Note the past tense) The first 2 seasons were awesome. Sometime during the 3rd season, I think in the latter half, stuff started going wonky.

Then they did the go back in time and change, like, EVERYTHING season 4.

So sad.

And then the news of them getting cancelled.

Not surprised.

I'm going to watch this final season only for the sake of closure. I've totally lost interest in the characters because they are so different now but I'm curious to see how it will all end. I did this same thing with SG-1 too for seasons 9 and 10. I'm anal like that. I think it's a curse I'm forced to live with. I blame my husband. He keeps tuning in that blasted SyFy channel. *sigh*
