We were shocked and horrified that Eureka's sixth season was cut back to just six episodes — and even more shocked and horrified when Syfy pulled the plug on the sixth season altogether.

Yesterday's Eureka panel promised an animated Christmas special, a big mission into deep space, sinister forces plotting against the town, and a love triangle between Fargo, Felicia Day, and a hugely dickish Wil Wheaton.

Ever notice that Syfy's Eureka is full of... well, attractive people? Even Fargo, the comedy relief geek within a show full of geeks has a certain charm about him. According to co-creator Jaime Paglia, that didn't happen by accident.

Mad science is getting quirky and lovable once again on the Syfy Channel, as Eureka returns for the long-delayed second half of its third season. We've seen the next two episodes of this crazy-town show. Spoilers ahead.

We got to spend some going back to Eureka, with the local sheriff, Colin Ferguson and co-creator Jamie Paglia, who talked about the new direction of the midseason. This year everyone is in love, except for Jack and Allison.
