If so, when? Since there was a mini-marathon of last season today, I’d hoped it was tonight, but it doesn’t seem so.

I don’t watch SciFi much anymore, since they’ve added wrasslin’ and such, but I love Eureka. I checked the Eureka website, but found nothing new.

You didn’t even watch Battlestar? Shame on you.

July 10th, by the way. That’s when Eureka airs again.

It’s on [Syfy.com](http://Syfy.com) and at their Wikipedia entry.

Battlestar was a remake of something I found lame to begin with. Too unrelenting. I like a good dollop of whimsy with my unbelievable fiction.

Thanks for the rest, though.

No kidding. Grimmest show I’ve ever seen.

I don’t know how accurate [IMDB](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796264/episodes#season-3) is for future TV episodes, but they have the next episode (Season 3, Episode 9) listed as 10 July 2009.

WOO-HOO!!! (maybe?) 😕

I, for one, would TREASURE the return of Eureka! It brings me back to watching the Columbo TV series when I was a kid. Kinda campy, but with good pseudo-science to it.

I’m looking forward to it. If it happens.
