Sigh. Eureka only aired its finale yesterday and I miss it already. Sure, this Akashic field thing (the odd, probably alien technology that is making Kevin normal and smart and then paranormal) is weird, but the show was still a ton of fun. I think that the reason the field never really worked is that it was only ever explained with pseudo-scientific extra-hokey mumbo-jumbo. Then, Kevin's connection to the field just made the whole thing even more weird. It's not quite as weird as the idea that he could be disconnected from the field due to shoving the boy in a teleporter and turning it on, but weird.

Okay, so that's the bad from Eureka, pseudo-scientific extra-hokey mumbo-jumbo. The good is the personal dynamics among the characters. Stark, Carter, Allison, Taggart, Fargo, Henry, and Jo make for a fascinating group. Even when the plot goes too far towards the rogue scientist of the week variety, watching these relationships develop is what keeps me coming back. I would like to see a better over-arching plot next season, something that was actually paid attention too and does not feel completely like an afterthought (like this year's Kevin and the Akashic field did), but the show will be back either way next summer and I'll be tuning in.

Happily, the 9pm hour of primetime television still has Reaper in it, so I won't be too bored until next summer. I like Sam's hesitancy on this whole being the Devil's bounty hunter thing. It was nice to see him still trying to get out of having to wrangle escaped souls last night rather than having him pursue them with glee. I imagine that one day he will come to grips with his new job, but until then, this love-hate thing he has going on with Ray Wise's still genius Devil is fantastic.
