Eureka “Up in the Air” review!

Another week, another Eureka review! This week we see our crew train for the Astraeus mission to Titan, it is still too early to say whether the show will ever go to Titan but it seems suddenly that it has a goal to work towards to. Despite the fact that almost everybody is training for the mission (Blake, Lupo, Zane, Fargo, Henry and his wife) it is certainly not clear if anyone can go. In the meantime Carter has got his handful when a supposedly normal case of ‘bank robbery’ turns out into a suspected case where the entire ‘bank’ has been physically robbed....

Eureka “Reprise” review!

Eureka is back for another episode, this time the plot takes a little while to get started. Fargo thinks he is getting evaluated after last weeks unsanctioned rocket launch and to gain strength for the upcoming ego fight he is listening to some unusual tunes. In the meantime doctor Blake needs to disappear because she doesn’t fit into this story and ends up saving somebody from a roadside crash. Instead we get Carter having to look after Blake’s two kids which includes Kevin (played by Trevor Jackson) who despite some difficulty with his dialogue seems hellbent on cracking everybody up...

Eureka “Liftoff” review!

Eureka is back! Finally season 4 can continue. Since season 4 took the series in a new direction we have been delighted with mostly superb episodes after season 2 and 3 took a slow march downwards. The first thing noticeable in this episode are the special effects, lets hope will stay as good as they were. The storyline revolves around the accidental launch of a Mercury era space capsule that is tested for an experimental FTL drive, only downside is that both Fargo and Zane are in it. After nearly blowing it out of the sky the gang on the ground have to rescue...

New SyFy channel series ‘Alphas’ airs july 11th.

 The much touted new Syfy channel series ‘Alphas’ will definitely air on July 11th. The series is a superhero/sci-fi themed story about five individuals (alphas) who discover they have special abilities. Each specializes in one ability and together they try to rid New York from evil. At first this seems like another attempt on behalf of the Syfy channel to produce a series that would appeal to a greater audience by treating the Science-Fiction elements lightly. We will have to see if their attempts to come up with a series that isn’t as excentric as Fringe nor as uselessly techie as Numbers will...
