Man, I’ve just got to find a way to write these reviews shorter. I did a Retrospeculative review for Galactica today that ended up running seven pages. On top of that, I wrote four other articles today. I’m a bit knocked as a result, and the annoying thing is that there’s always more to say. I never feel like I’ve quite nailed it, but as you all know, I generally go on waaaaaaay too long with everything.

Anyway, before we begin, there’s some good news: Eureka has been renewed for a fifth season.

Last time, as you’ll recall, the Space Family Robinson had traveled through time to the year 1948, where they were mistaken for aliens by the local rednecks. However, as that was another show, and had nothing to do with the time travel incident that kicked off this season of Eureka, we’ll ignore it. Also, it took place a year afterwards.

First of all, sorry for the lengthy delay in getting this review up. Rather than my normal coy intro, let’s jump to it, shall we?

Gosh, Allison is pretty.

Actually, I guess I should say “Salli Elise Richardson-Whitfield” is pretty, despite having a ludicrous mouthful of a name. She’s just stunning. I think probably half the episodes of Eureka I’ve sat through - especially in the early days, when I really didn’t have a clue as to what manner of fish this series was - was primarily because she’s just stunning.
