In Sci Fi's Quirky 'Eureka,' Geniuses at Work
"I was an engineer back in the day," Deacon tells Carter when they meet.
Carter: "Trains?"
  Colin Ferguson as Jack Carter: Befuddled, bothered and bewildered. (By James Dittiger -- Sc Fi Channel) |
Deacon: "Space shuttles."
Morton's character is instrumental in resolving tonight's plot, which gets a little muddled. One of the town's geeks has created a machine that sends objects hurling faster that the speed of light, but since this against the laws of physics, the end is near.
"What the hell's going on?" Carter's daughter asks him.
"Ah, there's this machine and a missing formula and science stuff I can't explain," Carter replies.
The same might go for viewers when it comes to the plotline.
But an episode involving a "Men in Black"-like memory-wiping machine is a bit easier to follow for those who are less than science-savvy.
In the end, it's Eureka's townsfolk who keep the common viewer intrigued.
Eureka (two hours) debuts tonight at 9 on Sci Fi.
