If you haven’t had a chance to see this it is going to be repeated a couple of times. Sorry don’t have the dates/times right here.
Now having said that it will be repeated…go watch this show! SciFi may have found the clue that good writing/good stories will get you viewers! (I won’t start the wrestling rant which is where SciFi has lost its mind).
It’s a combination of X-Files with, from what I have read, what it must have been like to live in Los Alamos when that wasn’t on the map and it was a “company town” all be it a government company town.
Greatest line from the show so far.
U.S. Marshall “Who are you Einstien”
Eleven year old kid “No. I’m an Openhiemer”
Yes physics humor folks.

chiefted,
I think the next line by the kid was something like “The Einsteins on the next street”, or something similar.
And I agree: best line of the show.
Quality, original programming that is in line with the identity of the SciFi network sets a record……Hallelujah!
Now can we please get rid of wrasslin’?
Definately my new Favorite show on SciFi… Very well done…

My thoughts exactly…
I thought Eureka was good and look forward to seeing more of it. The show that really impressed me was Dead Like Me. I remember it being on HBO or Showtime. Today I bought the season one and two dvds, and watched the first seven shows straight in a row.
I have to admit, I was expecting another “boa vs python” flick, but was surprised how pleasing the show was. I don’t think we have another BSG, but it has potential to be a SG1. I allready put a season pass on my Tivo,
If anyone missed the pilot, they’ve got it availabe online at http://www.scifi.com/pulse
And if also airs again this evening before Stargate kicks of…

Last night I was watching Sci-Fi and…what? Did I see an ad for “Dead Like Me”?? Yaaaaay!!!! I just recently added it to my Netflix queue.
And they’re also going to be running the unfortunately canceled “Night Stalker” as well. Though I got the Complete Series DVD set, I’m happy to see that ALL of the episodes will be shown.
It was a very good show. Too good, apparently, for network TV.
By the way, if you go to Scifi’s website and go to the Schedule page, you can enter the name of a show and get all of the airdates and times for first runs and the repeats.
Finished watching the first season of Dead Like Me, which had a nice treat at the end. Last show had Jewel Straite aka Kaylee as a hot goth chick.
This show is a lot like falling in love with a dead person.
