Never Resting on Their Laurels

You have to hand it to the creators of Eureka, they never rest on their laurels - there is always a new twist, and this one is a doozy. It's Founder's Day in Eureka, and in a way that can only happen in this town of borderline crazy geniuses, the very core or our townsfolk find themselves in a very different Eureka. How this crisis occurs, how they solve it, and the fallout of their methodology form this brilliant, romantic, heart-breaking, fast-moving, and wonderfully interesting re-re-reboot (yep, that's SOME fashion of reboot with each new season so far) of this clever show. Just when the viewer thinks they know their characters and their town, something wild and different pulls everyone in new and challenging directions. As an added bonus this season-start, the newest citizen of Eureka looks like he is going to be fun, fascinating, and infuriating. Can't wait to see it all unfold.
