Sci Fi Channel’s Eureka finally has a return date for its current third season to resume. The network announced on Friday, April 24, that the science-fiction dramedy will take over the Fridays at 9pm ET time slot beginning on July 10. There are ten more episodes left in the 18-episode junior season.
While I personally prefer catching up with my favorite Eureka citizens before the weekend, it’s good to have them back whenever they’re allowed to hang out on the tube. Fingers crossed the new air date doesn’t lead to a decrease in ratings.

Yes, final.
The many Eureka fans already missing recently departed Nathan Stark got a nice surprise on last night’s “Show Me the Mummy.” Actor Ed Quinn’s character, who unexpectedly and shockingly died — for real — on the previous episode “I Do Over,” returned briefly, albeit only in the form of a holographic projection.
It turns out Nathan’s wedding gift to his bride-to-be for the second time, Allison Blake, was a man-made logic-diamond necklace programmed to express his deep and eternal love for her. How sad was it when she “played” the message at the very end of the …read more

I love these witty Eureka titles, I tell ya. On August 26h’s “Show Me the Mummy,” Sheriff Carter & Company embark on a search for a runaway mummy when a famous archaeologist sets it loose after opening an Egyptian Queen’s cursed tomb.
And, yes, the original point of disaster is at Global Dynamics — where else? — and, yes, The Fixer is the person who brings the celebrity dirt digger to town. So, since we know Eva Thorne has something likely dirty up her sleeve, her actions beg the question of whether or not the mummy incident is staged, …read more
