The “Eureka” that aired on SciFi Channel on July 18th, breaking a number of cable television records in the process, was nothing like the show’s original premise and direction.
Interview: Joel Gretsch, who portrays NTAC Special Agent Tom Baldwin on USA Network’s hit series The 4400, takes some time out of his day to tell us about landing a second high profile scifi role and the fun he’s having on the show, about being William Shatner’s son-in-law, and more.

This should really go in with the voice mail show – but there hasn’t been an actual post about it from the looks of it…
But someone mentioned the side scrolling beat ’em up scene from oldboy…
Well youtube comes though again

Michael…re:Eureka
They solved it all by the end of the show. Or did they based on last night’s episode?
Wasn’t too enamoured with Eureka I’m finding it too predictible, and wish they would do much more with the premise. But the end of last night’s episode may have convinced me. If you saw it, it was the end scene in the sherriff’s new house and the house computer. I won’t give it away, but the computer is a mix of the computer from Star Trek, the Microsoft House, and HAL 9000. Pretty funny stuff.
One of the news items was about a video game being turned into a live action movie. This reminded me of a video I ran across today on Google:

On Eureka:
I was as surprised as everyone else. I thought they wraped it up last week. Goes to show that BSG is doing its job in making writers rethink the formula.
Can’t wait for next week to see what happens next.
Not sure if I’m mentioning what Anna wrote above (can’t get to the video link from work), but a few weeks ago I saw video of someone who did a live Mario Bros. on-stage for a talent show of some sort. It was very funny, and I’m sure the video is out on the net somewhere.
The sherrif/us marshall actor is on the initial podcast of Eureka. He says other cast will get involved, I suppose it’s based on the success of Ron Moore’s BSG podcast, but it’s a fun listen.
