It has a couple that are very close to fulfilling that need in Haven and Warehouse 13 , but of those two, Haven keeps wanting to be a darker show - but, frustratingly, never quite getting there, at least in the two seasons so far - and Warehouse 13 is just a little too insular and snarky, I think That could change; despite the brutality of the finale of last season, I think this show will trend softer as it ages.
This particular lack may be intentional - You only have to look at relatively new projects like Alphas , Being Human and import Lost Girl to know that "self-aware, slick and snarky" seems to be the target of shows there now Not a criticism, by the way; I like all of those shows, with the exception of Lost Girl , and consider Being Human to be one of the best shows in the history of the network - but it doesn't mean that it's necessarily a great idea.
Syfy, as it's been discovering over the last few years, has to appeal to as many people as possible in order to be a true success. You can see their attempts to meet that goal in shows like Face Off and Hollywood Treasure and the like, but its drama output has been falling into a worrying sameness as the reality output has been ramped up; shows have similar "Normal people and one fantastic element!

Still, much as this is definitely the right narrative decision, I'll admit some sadness that we don't get a nice big sendoff for Felicia Day, who has done some great, charming work as Dr.
Holly Marten and won me over after some initial uncertainty. Honestly, after all that, there isn't quite so much to say about the real world plot, but it is nice to see "our" Carter back in action after a week away. This whole side of the episode underscores why it was so hard to buy into last week's supposed new reality — Carter simply doesn't ever, ever give up, and the belief he and the rest of the townspeople put in Kevin's detector is a great touching moment.
It also makes for the comic highlight of the episode, which is Carter and Andy barely managing to complete their heist of army equipment. It also allows Carter the chance to do some legitimate detective work, as he figures out that Senator Wen is the traitor that allowed the Astraeus to be hijacked. I'm not totally sure how I feel about that particular character revelation, honestly - there has always been something a little untrustworthy about Senator Wen, but I liked last season's suggestion that that was simply because, well, she's a politician.
Still, I like that Carter got to work out the truth all by himself, and I'm excited - and more than a little trepidaticious - to see how the show handles all the fallout of this week's craziness in next Monday's episode. This is the show that killed one of their popular leads, as well as Henry's girlfriend and has at least one sizable direction switch under its belt, and it's never done anything shocking?
I found Holly's death less affecting than losing Stark or Kim, because Nathan was a much more prominent character, and I was more attached to Henry's relationship than Fargo's. And it had an effect on the plotline like whoa. This one wasn't bad, though. In fact, that is my focus in most of my reviews if you have read them.
Before continuing with my analysis, courtesy of Syfy we include the promotional trailer for the next wonderfully exciting episode of Eureka for your enjoyment!
Mirror, Mirror:. Even though the aura does not entirely carry through the episode, it is obvious that people are still scared to even leave their homes, which will raise the paranoia and lower the trust level as things reach a head in the series finale. This particular episode gave a startling nod right back to the pilot episode of the series in which Zoe Carter, Jordan Hinson , saw her and her father driving by in an identical car, which caused the accident that led them to Eureka. Will there be some kind of nod in the series closer?
Regardless, we are drawn in each week to the intense drama that is growing now to explosive proportions, and cannot help but feel the inevitable end is going to be catastrophic for at least some characters. Back to the episode and inside Global Dynamics, however, the heartbeat of life continues as Holly Marten, Felicia Day , literally signs herself back into existence.
Once she has completed the necessary paperwork, she suddenly finds herself facing the age-old question that everyone who has been dead and now is not must face: What now? She is in some ways a clone after all and Eureka DOES do the whole interdimensional thing and time travel…too far of a stretch for a real connection? Eh, it was worth a try. We were richly rewarded with her return to human form, but now the cost of seeing her again is proving devastating for the town of Eureka.
Beverly Barlowe, Debrah Farentino , and Senator Wen, Ming-Na , may no longer be associated with Eureka, but the consortium they were working for clearly still intends to control the greatest scientific discoveries ever made — which puts the whole world at risk. Further breaking down the use of Holly Marten as a pawn, this gives Felicia Day a chance to pull off a sweet, unassuming character with a hint of maliciousness — which she does very well.
