During my rewatch of
Eureka (got to watch something during the strike, and this is always in my rotation of comfort shows) I realized Taggart is the best part. He's not a designated hero character, but he saves the day and gets what he wants without unnecessary drama.
I think Jim Taggart is the heart of the
Eureka, using science and passion to improve the quality of people's lives, and here's four lessons I've learned from the man who tracked a polar bear across the Arctic, who twice defeated an evil AI (once with paint guns), and dated the hottest girl in town.
... in which Carter gets a brain boost just as Allison’s brother visits to check out her new husband.
... in which the writers go to an all-too-familiar well to eke out some tired story drama.
... in which Fargo and the others try to save Holly when the DoD comes to take away the Matrix hard drive.
... in which the Astraeus crew manages to narrowly avoid a crash landing, only to discover they’ve jumped four years into the future.
...in which Allison’s life is on the line while Grant and Carter go Back to the Future, Part 2.
...in which Grant struggles with Global’s role as a Department of Defense facility, while several characters are visited by figures from their pasts.
...in which an archaeological resource is discovered at the construction site for Jo’s new home, and soon after people working at the site begin turning into stone.
...in which Carter, Kevin, Grant, and Fargo go camping, while the town’s Level 6 A.I.’s suddenly begin developing emotional attachments.
...in which Claudia Donovan arrives from Warehouse 13, just as objects from the past begin materializing all over town.
