God I tried to rewatch eureka, I so dearly loved that show. I got the kids in front of the TV and I said this is a fantastic sci-fi series with all kinds of great high concept stuff you're going to love it.
They did not, in fact, love it.
So internally I'm all screw you guys You don't know what you're missing I'm going to watch it.
I don't remember the pilot being this long and slow, I'm just forgetting I'm sure I'll pick up an episode two, I got a few minutes into episode 3 and just couldn't.
The acting is shakier than I remember the effects don't hold up. I have to stop before I ruined my memory of loving it. I miss the show so much Henry was a badass.
I don't recall anyone quitting over it. The day manager was a sweetheart and cleaned it herself as much as she could. I didn't particularly love the work, but I cleaned it a few times so she didn't have to, some of the others did the same. No one was forced to clean it, someone either the manager did it or someone called tribute. In any case once all the visible and smell was gone, she'd go in an bleach the hell out of everything.
