According to Amy Berg: "...Eureka is an expensive show to make. And we could not maintain the quality of our show with the cuts it would take to make us profitable for Syfy's new parent company." I assume the 'new parent company' is referring to NBCU merging with Comcast - and we all know how much respect Comcast has for it's customer base.
On one hand, Eureka has had a good 5 year run. It's been my experience that after 5 seasons, any scifi show starts having trouble maintaining quality (there are exceptions, of course). Sometimes it is best to cut a show before it starts leaving a bad taste because it doesn't know when to quit. I'm not saying this is the case with Eureka, it just a general comment on shows that go on too long.
On the other hand, SyFy is steadily cutting quality shows in favor of popular tripe. What will they replace Eureka with? A new ghost show, perhaps? Or maybe a teenage vampire melodrama, complete with sparkly undead, angst-ridden emo vamps that ride on giant sharks to wrestle with WWE superstars on the backs of mega-whales.
Warehouse 13 will be next.

What To Do
The wife is out of town for a couple of days, leaving me at home with two cats and a needy pug. Not entirely sure what to do with myself. Maybe I'll go log a few geocaches she isn't too interested in trudging to.
Aside from that, I am also establishing myself on Google Plus. Facebook, while it still serves a purpose, has become far too immature for my tastes.
