Now that we’ve finished watching the episode of Eureka from two weeks ago and The Daily Show, I’d like to ask one question of the Eureka writers.

Why would the air condition fail at the labs and all over the entire town of Eureka just because the ambient outdoor temperature hits 110ºF? Have they never been to Texas or anywhere else that actually gets hot? We don’t have city-wide air conditioning failure. Why, the electricity even keeps flowing. I can’t imagine my air conditioner being that much better in technology or quality than those found in an overly-funded science lab on a fictional TV show.

I love Eureka, but some of the writing this year has been really weak, and I am also getting tired of the deodorant product placement within the show. The commercials are cute, but this particular episode was a little heavy on the tagline and actual product placement, to the point where it started to feel like the last half of the show was one long advertisement for whatever that damn deodorant is. Not going to make me buy the deodorant. Might make me stop watching the show, if the crappy writing doesn’t improve.
