Fanastic September 26, 2008 Can't wait for the third season, as season two left on a bit of a cliff hanger.
Fun, Smart, Entertaining September 26, 2008 This show is fun and smart and season 2 ratches up the clever! The season long story line of the artifact comes to a very satisfiying conclusion. The trouble these genius get into is smart and quiry. Great actin, great writing.
science? September 24, 2008 0 out of 7 found this review helpful
The writers of Eureka have always been pretty wacky with their knowledge of science (if you can even get away with calling it knowledge), but it's always been fun and kitschy until the "God is in Details" episode. The support of a god and an overly religious episode like this just killed it for me and logical thinkers. The episode was not only hard to take in because it showed a community of scientists embracing something without evidence, but it was so blatant that it was basically propaganda. At many times i felt like i was watching something on PAX TV or the Omega Code. Eureka fails hard at science, which should boggle your mind since the town is supposed to be filled with brilliance. Lols were had when the "portal to heaven" was introduced.
It's interesting how one episode can ruin a show, but some things cannot be overlooked.
Kinda of a remake, but WELL Done September 23, 2008 I really enjoyed the first seaseon for its uniqueness and characters and the second and third are carring along with the same quality. But (dramatic pause,) this show (for those who do not know) is actually a remake of a Twilight Zone story. The special effects are (naturally) MUCH better and there is time for character development. All in all a GREAT show. I have both Seasons on DVD
Love the show, LOATHE the packaging September 17, 2008 7 out of 10 found this review helpful
First off, I love this show. It's brilliant in just about every way imaginable. So I apologize for the low rating, but I have to make my point.
The distributors of this DVD must be just absurdly lacking in IQ (irony shouldn't be lost). For the first season, they chose a nasty styrofoam wanna-be that not only shed on the discs, forcing you to clean each disc thoroughly each time you wanted to watch it, but it didn't even hold the discs. They just rolled around, free to get damaged.
NOW, they've chosen some cheap plastic that SCRATCHES the discs.
I repeat:
THE CASE SCRATCHES THE DISCS.
Now, call me old fashioned, but I think a case should protect the disc from damage, not damage the disc.
If the company is making an attempt to force consumers into downloading the show electronically, they succeed. With iTunes and other ways of downloading this show, I see little point in owning these round pieces of plastic that are now good for little more than flinging at ninjas who may attack my house (yes, a 3 Ninjas reference) besides the fact that I already own them.
This packaging is supposed to be "environmentally conscious," as if the case is meant to be disposal. Again, I think the case is kind of important for protecting a disc, and I don't plan on throwing the disc out right after I buy it. It's not a coffee cup.
This company needs to stop worrying about making "green" products and start worrying about making "good" products.
