SciFi Vision - Where Fiction and Reality Meet
Ferguson & Paglia Discuss "Eureka's" Final Season
By Jamie Ruby
Eureka, which is currently Syfy's longest running scripted series, will be returning for its fifth and final season Monday, April 16 at 9:00 PM ET/PT.
The series revolves around a Pacific Northwest town which is not what it appears to be. The town is actually a secret community of geniuses conducting top-secret research for the government, always contending with the chaos of strange events, often caused by said research.
The show, created by Jaime Paglia and Andrew Cosby, stars Coli Ferguson as Sheriff Jack Carter, Salli Richardson-Whitfield as Allison Blake, Joe Morton as Henry Deacon, Erica Cerra as Jo Lupo, Neil Grayston as Douglas Fargo, and Niall Matter as Zane Donovan. The series also boasts great guest stars this year as well. Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, and Ming Na will be returning.
The season will consist of 13 all-new episodes and will pick up where we last left off with the Astraeus and crew having vanished just before their planned launch to Titan.
Earlier in the week, Colin Ferguson and executive producer Jaime Paglia talked to the digital media about the upcoming season and what fans can expect.?

The Borgias 2.1 Review: "The Borgia Bull"
By John Keegan
I’ll be completely honest: I wasn’t particularly thrilled with the first season of “The Borgias”. I think that came through fairly clear in my reviews. Part of the problem is the distressing sameness of the episodes; since all bear the heavy-handed stylistic mark of Neil Jordan, there’s less of the creative variety that allows a show like “Game of Thrones”, for example, to play on expectation.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
Nightmares are inherently scary. When people have them, it's usually in bed, at home, both places that are considered sanctuaries. This episode of "Mad Men" was about what happens when those sanctuaries are violated, intruded upon, and how we deal with such things. We invite strangers into our homes and beds sometimes. It usually turns out well, but every so often, the risk of having strangers in a place of comfort can yield horrible results.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
It really had to take until the very near end of the season for this show to get good? There has been a marked improvement in the show's quality over the past few episodes, and it continues here. The writers have somehow pulled themselves out of the muck and come up with a more streamlined story that can be built on.

By John Keegan
This episode crystallizes everything that works and does not work for “Touch” on a conceptual level. When the story centers on human drama, as it does with its three main plot threads in this episode, it is a reasonably good show about the better angels of our nature. As soon as Jake’s numerically-based insight comes into play, along with all those spurious connections, it all falls apart.

By John Keegan
I don’t know if “Grimm” is trying to outdo “Supernatural” and “Fringe” by taking things to even greater extremes, but this was not a family-friendly episode. The force-feeding scenes were truly disturbing, from the opaque tubing to the very bird-like fluttering of Robin’s hands. Showing the preparation of the “food”, on top of it all, was just nausea-inducing.

"Dream Machines:" Meet the Parker Brothers
By Jamie Ruby
Syfy's newest reality series, Dream Machines, follows brothers Marc and Shanon Parker as they take fantastical vehicles seen in the movies, on tv, and in comics, and bring them to life to be road ready.

In the season premiere, which airs tonight on Syfy, the featured celebrity client will be rapper 50 Cent.
Shanon, the chief designer and fabricator, as well as Marc, the engineering and fabrication specialist, recently talked to the media about their creations and the upcoming season.

Being Human (US) 2.13 Review: "It's My Party, and I'll Die If I Want To"
By John Keegan
After a season full of thrills and unexpected twists, the writers for “Being Human US” deliver a finale that, at least in the afterglow, might leave many scratching their heads. While none of the events seem particularly out of place, given the direction of the season up to this point, it does seem a bit underwhelming. Of course, the question is: does it simply not stand up, or pale a bit compared to what’s come before?
