So…this sounds like Christmas specials and not the start of a new season?

Yeah, holiday specials, although Eureka returns next month for its final season.

There’s a new Haven Xmas special too.

They’re also independent of any story arc that we left at the end of the last season, and may not even be canonical.

I don’t watch Haven, so it didn’t occur to me. But thanks for the reminder. I don’t mind and I’m sure people will appreciate it.

Doubtful. Every single year this rumor has gone around (new Eureka episodes in January!) it hasn’t happened and they’ve started in July as always. So far as I know. Syfy hasn’t announced a start date for season 5 yet. Eureka is very much a summer series for them and I don’t see that changing.

Well, that Eureka was awful. W13 was pretty amusing, though.

I liked Warehouse 13 the best, Eureka wasn’t bad, and Haven…I should have gone to bed an hour earlier.

Eureka was cute. It seemed geared to kids, though. W13 was all good except for Myka’s hair. Haven was not terrible. What’s the story behind Haven?

I could have sworn I just read that on Wikipedia. Lesson learned. Don’t trust Wikipedia.

I enjoyed this episode immensely. I liked the quick tributes to other animated programs such as Peanuts, Futurama/Simpsons-Matt Groening style (Andy as a Bender-styled robot!), and South Park. And the gigantic snow ninja was a riot.

I liked the cameos from Jim Parsons and Eddie Olmos. And the return of Dr Drummond/Santa.

Don’t know about you but I wouldn’t trust anyone who refers to [an official press release](http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/08/08/eureka-cancelled/) as “rumor”.

Or was that just an offshoot of [a certain Trope](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Discontinuity/Film)?

The warehouse should really re-think their policy regarding artefact storage. Maybe storing artefacts in individual wooden boxes. They should get top men working on that.

Did you catch the Leg Lamp from “A Christmas Story”?

Erased Eureka after the first 10 minutes. Waste of time and energy.
