Great, I still have last week's Stargate premieres on tape, along with
"Avatar", and now another new show pops up. This one is "Eureka", a Sci Fi
original about a town of apparently superiour beings. It looks to be some
good quirky fun, especially fitting for the summer. Long as it doesn't suck,
I'll give it a try, if for no other reason than the fact that Salli
Richardson-Whitfield is in the series, looking more fetching than ever!
Whew!
Oh, there's also going to be an extended trailer from season 3 of
"Battlestar Galactica" played sometime during Eureka's premiere.
About the series:
As World War II came to a close with mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, the impact that science and technology would have on the continued
security of our world became catastrophically apparent. America nearly lost
the race to build the atomic bomb; it could not risk such a close call
again.
With the help of Albert Einstein and other trusted advisors, President Harry
S. Truman commissioned a top-secret residential development in a remote area
of the Pacific Northwest, one that would serve to protect and nurture
America's most valuable intellectual resources. There our nation's greatest
thinkers, the über-geniuses working on the next era of scientific
achievement, would be able to live and work in a supportive environment. The
best architects and planners were commissioned to design a welcoming place
for these superlative geniuses to reside, an area that would offer the best
education for their children, the best healthcare, the best amenities and
quality of life. A community was created to rival the most idyllic of
America's small towns with one major difference: this town would never
appear on any maps. At least, none that haven't been classified "eyes only"
by the Pentagon.
Thus, the town of Eureka was born. But for all its familiar, small-town
trappings, things in this secret hamlet are anything but ordinary. The
stereotype of the absent-minded professor exists for a reason, and most of
the quantum leaps in science and technology during the past 50 years were
produced by Eureka's elite researchers. Unfortunately, scientific
exploration is rarely what one expects, and years of experiments gone awry
have yielded some peculiar by-products.
>From unrequited love to professional jealousy, from addiction to depression,
the problems of Eureka's townsfolk stem from life's myriad of everyday
challenges. But with the population's unique talents, troubled psyches and
limitless resources, these small-town concerns have a way of becoming
big-time problems. It is at that intersection, where human frailty and
super-science collide, that Eureka begins
.
