    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the last scene where Jack is shaving in the restroom of the sheriff's office, he is wearing the new badge shown in the series, not the one worn by Sheriff Cobb and Deputy Jo Lupo in the pilot. This scene was probably added after the series was picked up for the first year for continuity.
    • Goofs
      Allison leads Jack down a long corridor with doorways leading to various sections, such as section 2 and then section 5. In subsequent episodes, as well as in maps of GD, it is clear that the various Sections are different vertical levels reached by elevator. (44:47)

    Funny, Quirky, and Awesome
    Just an amazing pilot - a fabulous mix of science fiction, character-driven comedy, and quirky characters that make you want to come back for more and more. We see the town of Eureka through the eyes of US Marshall Jack Carter and the prisoner he is transporting across country, and layers are peeled back on the the happenings there slowly and deliberately. What is Section 5? Why is the DoD there? Just what kind of people populate Eureka? The pilot ensures that we can't wait to find out. The multitude of colorful characters are quirky and fun and have amazing chemistry with one another, and the script never talks down to the viewer but rather invites us all up to shout Eureka ourselves. Excellent first episode!
