Product Description:
EUREKA: SEASON TWO (DVD MOVIE)
Amazon.com:
Plenty of new television series need a season or two to sort themselves out, and as this three-disc, 13-episode (plus bonus features) box set from the second season (2007) reveals, the Sci-Fi Channel's Eureka is still a work in progress--which is not a bad thing, considering that it's one of the more provocative and ambitious shows out there. For the uninitiated, here's the basic premise: Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson), accompanied by his teenage daughter Zoe (Jordan Hinson), is stationed in Eureka, a picturesque little burg somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Eureka is hardly Anytown, USA; indeed, this is the place where "the world's greatest thinkers" live and work, most of them at Global Dynamics, "the most advanced scientific facility in the world." It's also a place where exceedingly strange things happen on a regular basis. In Season Two, those happenings include people spontaneously combusting, becoming invisible, turning into gold, or simply disappearing (and leaving nothing behind--not even a memory that they ever existed); a "personal force field" that's growing so large and so fast that it will soon engulf the whole town, and maybe even the whole world; freaky weather that changes by the moment; and even an experiment to re-create the Big Bang inside a Global Dynamics lab, leading to some unexpected side effects.
These developments are all presented with enough cool special effects and scientific techno-babble to make Eureka a perfectly viable and sometimes quite dramatic science fiction diversion. But there's more--much more. Sometimes this is a show about relationships: Jack and Zoe (custody becomes an issue when Jack's ex, played by Olivia D'Abo, shows up in the early episodes); Jack and Allison Blake (Salli Richardson), Global Dynamics' new boss (their growing attraction is complicated by the continued presence of her ex, a genius scientist type); Jack and his pal Henry (Joe Morton), who blames Jack for his girlfriend's death but gradually learns there's more to it than that. Much of the time it's a comedy, heavy on the quirks; and, in a change from the first year, it's also a serial, with several story arcs continuing over the course of the season. All of that can make Eureka a but convoluted and hard to get a handle on, but this show is a keeper. Extensive bonus features include deleted scenes, gag reels, podcast commentaries, and a good deal more. --Sam Graham

- Great TV show, but my discs skip
I love this show, and the DVD's are generally great. Good image quality and fun extras. However, my copy of season two skips during certain scenes. This is the first time I've taken them out of their case, as well, so they shouldn't be scratched.
I just wanted to post about this in case other people are also having the same issue. Sometimes a singular product is defective but if this is happening to many people then it could be a good idea for future buyers to be prepared for the possibility ... Read More

Bought the DVDs because I'd missed a few in the series.Not only did I miss a few, on the DVD the first in the series was a one and a half hour special!In each ephisode there appears to be more than I'd seen on the TV screen!AND it remains all good viewing!Can't wait for Series three to come out now.....

- Interesting Series
We enjoyed our Eureka videos. We take them camping and watch them all at once. It really helps to connect to the characters in the series that way. Eureka is an interesting town and you never know what might happen next.
Rating: - Quirky Fun!
Quirky Fun! This series is a fun Sci-Fi/Comedy that is light and potentially believable. It helps lighten the mood after a hard day of work. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Rating: - A little more serious than Season 1
Even though Sci-fi isn't taking Eureka seriously - I still think it's one of the best things currently on television!Season Two has taken on a much more serious tone than the previous season, but the episodes are still creative and fun.Can't wait for Season 3 to come out!
