As I had noted in the archive: there is an actual town called Eureka in California, up by the Oregon border. (However, it's not nearly as cool.)
Edited by FarseerLolotea Hide / Show RepliesThere's also a town called "Yreka" in California, pronounced by at least some locals the way I would pronounce "Eureka". Spent the night there once or twice, since it's on the I-5. It's also much closer to Oregon, and not on the coast, like Eureka. But I guess the show's Eureka is canonically in Oregon.
That's the kinda stuff that'll make for great League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen fodder
Edited by HerovilleEureka will cross over with Warehouse 13. Someone who actually watches these shows should add that. [http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2010/05/19/eureka-and-warehouse-13-team-up-for-first-ever-crossover-episodes/20100519syfy01/]
This series NEEDS a Tear Jerker page. At least once a season the show finds a way to gut me emotionally. We get Kim's (first) death at the end of Season 1, or Stark's in Season 3, or Holly's in Season 5. While this show can often bring the funny and the awesome, it also brings the pain.
