Another 11 month hiatus after the few episodes they're gonna show us starting in July? What the frak, Sci-Fi, do you want this show to fail? Give us a break and don't make us wait this long again.

Yeahhhhh that'd be a really dumb idea. A long hiatus after two short season (or half seasons) in two years. That's a way to kill a show fast. I still think the long breaks between seasons on BSG led to viewership declines.

I know how it ends, but, I am not going to tell (I figured it out instead of using the TARDIS). If the writers discovered that I know how it supposed to end then they will change the ending completely (which in a way is good). The pilot actually gives away the ending. What do I mean by ending? I mean how the entire series ends. The secret is in the pilot. It was so obvious, I noticed it immediately.

It's bad news that it will take so long to get back on the air, it is a absolute fantastic show and unless they don't want FANs to forget about it, i would suggest not to leave such a humangus gap.... With all the technology EUREKA has ;) they should be able to make the producer to resume a.s.a.p.

Oh, alright. I tell everyone how it supposed to end. But, know this, because I am revealing it here, the show will no longer end this way. The writers will say "This person figured it out, we will have to write something different.". So, what I am giving away is the way it was going end had I not revealed it. What? Uh? Oh, yeah, right. Let's get started. Well, the answer is quite simple, in fact, so simply that there are only two points to make. From there, people can fill in the blanks (might I ad: easily). The answer is that (potential spoiler) Eureka turns out to be a dream. In the pilot, Jack Carter falls into a hole which he can't immediately get out. We never actually see him get out. When asked out he got out, he says "very carefully" (or something similar). What really happened was that when he fell, he got knocked out, and dreamed the entire experience. The ending will see Carter waking up from that fall, and finding out that Eureka is just a normal town. I didn't make this plot up, there is an identical one from Rod Serling's Twilight Zone (Valley of the Shadows - http://www.tv.com/The+Twilight+Zone/Valley+of+the+Shadow/episode/12690/recap.html). I have always thought after he finds out that everything was just a dream there will be some kind of hint that he really did experience, and that his memory was merely altered. But, with both points there is still a loophole to mention. What about the fact that so much time has past? Well, I thought of several ways around that, which I am sure there are many others. But, the original points are clear and sound, and I believe this (or was) the way Eureka is going to end up concluding. Writers, I guess you will have to come up with something else, now.

I think we all learned from Dallas that making everything a dream just angers people, and no one would intentionally pitch an entire show on that theme.

Newhart ended with it all being a dream.

I'm not sure how they justify a nearly full year hiatus and then call the new episodes the "second half of season three." This was just a way NOT to make a season four.

Personally I started tuning out of it when they turned it into a running advertisement for Degree. It only got worse when they even centered an entire episode around it, allowing a future version of the stuff to protect the characters from the heat of the small sun.

If anything SciFi has proven time and time again that they like to screw over the fans of the shows we like by either cancelling them, putting huge gaps between seasons, or with the latest turning them into infomercials. Combine that with the name change and I think you can see it's just another way to distance themselves from the fans and instead air more reality garbage.

SciFi (or Syfy - whatever they want to call themselves) has a habit of doing this to the best shows. Anyone remember how FarScape was treated? I had a sinking feeling in my stomach the longer it took for Eureka to come back last time and I don't have much hope for it this time. SciFi would rather run multiple repeats of the craptastic movies or intelligence insulting lame series than invest longterm in good, well-written series.

Isn't sci fi's parent company NBC?? The same nbc that has a habit of coming up with an idea, shoving it down our throats with 9 months of commercials and trailers and then canceling it 6 eps in?? (the Black Donnellys, My Own Worst Enemy to name a few) All of the networks are STILL going on and on about the writers strike and how it screwed up everything, but in my estimation, the networks are NOT giving new series enough time to catch on, either by canceling it outright, or moving it ALL OVER the map changing time and days willy-nilly. Fox has long been accused of this(Firefly anybody) but it seems that they may be learning from their past mistakes. Dollhouse was NOT at all satisfying for the first few eps, but it is growing on me, and now I actually like it and see where their going, and Fringe seems to be doing well. Face it kids, if Eureka had been on NBC, CBS, or ABC, it wouldn't have made it past the first half of the eps. What Sci fi needs to do, is take some of the "failing" series from the major networks and pick them up.

If NBC had any sense they woul get out of the habit of leaving their shows fans sitting forever. That is a really great way to lose your true fan-base. Look at what happened to "Surface!"

So what happened to Allison and Carter being soul mates fated to be together? Carter is going to have another love interest all season but still be Allison's birthing coach and all around support? That would be awkward.

And why did Colin not mention Zoe - Sheriff Carter's daughter? Isn't Zoe still in high school? Or is this the year she goes back to live with her mom?

And yes - the "Bobby it was all a dream" answer did suck on the Dallas rewind. But you have to admit when Susan Pleshette woke up next to Bob on Newhart it was the most hilarious finale ever.

I don't care how Eureka ends. I just want those product placement ads for the Eureka or should I say Degree deodorant show to end.

OK, what do we need to do to get more Eureka episodes now?? A campaign?
I can't take it if they stop now. :(

I have to agree with almost everyone that SciFi is not thinking straight. Eureka is a great show. You actually need to have half a brain to really enjoy it. By having this longer than sin break, you are going to drive away those fans that would have kept it going. And I am really tired of the endless promises from the PTB that "it is coming back". I am a serious Stargate fan and the companies promise, then sudden dismissal of Atlantis, set me off in the worst way. I don't want to talk bad about shows that are on SciFi, but these reality-based shows are not worth the money. Real scifi fans are not watching these shows. I have a number friends and workmates that no longer watch your station due to, as one female friend states"THAT C**P" that is on your station now. I feel like one of the last fans and you are losing me. Do yourself and all of us a favour, stop making us wait for the next season of Eureka and stop cancelling all your good shows!

SciFi and Fox must be run by the same management team. Eureka deserves some promotion, get with it!

I have almost given up guys. I loved Eureka, stargates,sanctuary among others, I imagine after the first or second season of warehouse 13 is over and we are starting to really get into it they will pull that too. I am hoping someone will start a new sci fi channel and actually keep it called sci fi not some sissy name in a vain attempt to attract people who cant even relate to what sci fi actually means. In order to get much of the mainstream audience syfy is going to have to dramatically dumb-down some of their shows. Well maybe not the Mansquito-type genres those cant get any dumber. They are also going to have to sex up the other shows as that is what mainstream America seems to crave. Unfortunately for the rest of us who like a little cerebral exercise occasionally. SYFY will become just another mundane channel among many with nothing really special to set it apart I am not a mainstream watcher and have enjoyed most of sci fi's attempts at science fiction series greatly and watched with great interest and enjoyment most of them and mourned their premature endings. SyFy *snorts in derision*

SiFi and all those network types are fools for not allowing a great show such as Eureka to come back in a shorter amount of time. I am sick to death of those morons and the way they handle the programing. If Eureka is pulled I will boycot Sifi Channel.

Eureka is easily the second bast thing SciFi has ever created. I reserve best for Farscape. But as to Eureka - they need to get this show on the air, and keep it there - it's literally the ONLY thing we make a point of watching SciFi for, not that BSG is over. Or will once it comes back. Until then, we don't even watch SciFi right now.

I love the characters on this show, and I like the way they keep it funny, but still, at it's core, realistic. Smart funny is always good; but it's Mr. Ferguson here that makes it all work. I can imagine he might not have liked filming over this last winter - I live a few hours south of the filming location, and we had the worst snowstorms we've had since 1990. It is, in fact, only NOW starting to feel like Spring - it snowed less than a month ago! In APRIL.

An 11 month hiatus is rough - but at least it won't SEEM like 11 months to us - we're going to have the second half of season 3 to watch, for part of it. They ought to make more of this show, to spread out over the year. Splitting up the seasons stretches it out a bit, but it confuses the viewers. I didn't realize we were only in middle of season 3 - I thought 3 was over, and we were about to start 4... it's just annoying.

VIEWERS ARE BAILING FROM SCIFI LIKE RATS LEAVING A SINKING SHIP.
THEY SHOULD KNOW (MAYBE THEY DON'T) THERE IS ALREADY A CHANNEL CALLED REALITY. IF WE WANTED TO WATCH THAT C#$P. WE WOULD BE WATCHING THE REALITY CHANNEL.
WE WATCH SCIFI FOR SCIENCE FICTION, DUAH. I HAD TO START WATCHING CW AND FOX TO GET MY SCIFI FIX. HOW SAD IS THAT. COME ON GUYS LIVE UP TO YOUR NAME. BE WHAT YOU USED TO BE.

Maybe someone will come up with "The Science Fiction Channel" and actually just air science fiction instead of junk about ghosts and wrestling. One of our local cable companies is discontinuing service and I have to choose another. Until I read about the "SyFy" change, having SciFi on the channel list mattered. Now it doesn't. Congratulations on having something that can be branded. I am more interested in content than branding.

I think most of you like to WHINE if you overall like the show then Like me I am willing to put up with whatever Carter could have Viagra writen across his gitch and as long as they continue the show who cares , This is a great show I havent loved the characters in a show like this since Next gen or Mash the have Magic I would love to see more and not nearly as long a break and who is the idiot who did not pick it up for season 4 brain dead they make it hard for the fans to see then when there attention is deverted to something else they say the numbers of viewers are declineing Give it a shot put it on for 20 or more episodes and then do it again , and watch the numbers come in , they have only made like 3 dozen episodes in 4 years so far , We love the show now show it ,

I think Eureka is one of the most refreshing shows on TV and I hope it runs for 2 or 3 more seasons, at least. There are flaws, and I don't think the whole Degree thing was one-- if anything it made one cringe because it WAS so crass, I mean, on the part of The Fixer, as a commercial ploy-- you can imagine the scientists, except for the venal ones, in a state of low-grade mortification. I mean the scientific flaws, of which there have been several -- using Ununheptium (the element below astatine in the periodic table), or in another episode, using Francium, for example. Scientifically at present, even if ununheptium was made (so far as I know it is the last 7th period element as yet unsynthesized), it would be made in amounts so small they are quantified in single-atom units, so the idea of macroscopic, bulk amounts of it is not in accord with what we know. Of course, one could come up with a scenario where it WAS possible... for example, a way was found to create hyperstable nuclear isomers of isotopes which normally would have short halflives. This would work, also, in the instance of francium. In the show they mention that there is something like only an ounce in the crust of the entire earth (pretty well true) and Zane mentions the stockpile in Eureka. But you can't stockpile an element whose longest-lived isotope has a half-life of 22 minutes. UnLESS they found a way of making a hyperstable isomer of that too... There are a lot of others... the "artificial mini-sun" would not have floated above Eureka... even if it were able to sustain fusion at its core (and it would be pretty peculiar if it could) it would be just as subject to the Earth's gravity as anything else...yes, I know there are antigravity thingamajigs in Eureka but how could the sun, if it were a miniature sun, have an antigravity field generator in it? And... yada yada yada. In a sense, all these objections don't really matter as long as one can suspend disbelief. It reminds me of when someone asked Alfred Hitchcock why, in his films, people tried to solve their predicaments themselves...why didn't they just got to the police? And his answer was, "Because it's boring."

Love Eureka!!

SyFy is doing a smart thing with the break. Instead of just having a conveyer belt of stories, they are actually allowing the writers time to have plots percolate in their brains.

It should work out.
