Eureka Seven, Volume 3 (Episodes 11-14) Review
You know how it is when you find a book, movie or TV show almost by accident and it like turns out to be one of your favorite forever more.
Well Eureka is one such gem. Since I don't watch TV per say(don't have cable or even the basic channels) the only way I find shows is online. And I almost missed one the best shows on Sci-Fi channel or on TV in general.
Eureka, plain and simple a fun show with great acting and great writing. It is the fish out of water story but done in a refreshing way.
Basic premise is While Federal Marshall Jack Carter is taking his runaway daughter back home, they get run off the road and end up in small town Eureka. While there Jack finds out that Eureka is home to the worlds brightest minds and who work at a secret scientific facility Global Dynamics. The Sheriff gets hurt when a experiment goes wrong and the town needs Jack to save them. So with the Sheriff unable to continue his duties Carter gets promoted to Sheriff.
So each week Jack has to solve the problems that these ultra secret experiments can cause with only his common sense.
But he isn't alone, there is Henry Deacon mechanic and all around fixer and Jacks' best friend. There is Allison Blake who is the go between for the government and GD and possible love interest for Jack. Nathan Stark head of GD and ex-husband of Allison(so we get a love triangle there). Douglas Fargo, assistant to Stark and kind of a clumsy guy who gets into all sorts of trouble. And Deputy Jo Lupo gungho ex military who at first doesn't trust Jack but later becomes to respect what he does.
Is Eureka a TV show that will change the way you look at the world? No. It is a fun sci-fi show that never fails to entertain. The interaction with the character is what drives this show each week(and what should drive every show but sadly it doesn't). Though it is fun to see each week what scientific gizmo or theory that gets the town in trouble but it is the character that drive the show.
Season 3 is well off to a great run. So great that Universal has asked for 21 episodes this season instead of the usual 13.
So if you want just a good, fun show to watch. Eureka is the one. Since Renton's arrival, Eureka's relationship with the Nirvash has been changing. More mysteries await, however, as the Gekko has discovered a mysterious phenomenon called a Coralian. Although she's not really up to the task Eureka goes out in the Nirvash and flies inside. Once inside, she is attacked by a new LFO. Renton, meanwhile, has fallen unconscious, and has a dream about Eureka and the girl she's fighting. But is it really just a dream, or is he somehow connected to Eureka and the Nirvash in this state? Meanwhile, the Gekko has come under fire by the Federation warship Izumok, and the members of Gekkostate will have their hands full escaping from both the warship and the Coralian, especially without the Nirvash to assist them.
