Writer 1 likes to pretend he's better than the other two, but he's not.

I like to imagine this is how things go in the Eureka writer's room

Writer 1: So I was watching this episode of The Next Generation the other day, and I had a GREAT idea.
Writer 2: Didn't we just steal the plot to an Atlantis episode a couple of weeks ago?
Writer 3: No. We didn't steal anything. We borrowed a plot point.
Writer 2: Actually, we "borrowed" two plot points.
Writer 1: WHAT THE FUCK EVER, DUDES. Just listen to my idea. Beverly Crusher gets stuck in this bubble thingy and then people start disappearing. Eventually it's just her, all alone on the Enterprise. We should make that into an episode.
Writer 3: We don't have a spaceship.
Writer 1: *glares* First of all, it's a STARship. Not a spaceship. Secondly, we have a whole goddamned town. GOD! What the hell is wrong with you people?
Writer 2: Do we have any Cheetos?
Writer 3: Yeah. Cheetos sound amazing right now.
Writer 1: ARE YOU BOTH HIGH?
Writers 2 and 3: *look shifty*
Writer 1: Of course you're high.
Writer 2: Want some?
Writer 1: Might as well. Won't get the show written without it.

A few nonspoilery thoughts:

- Zoe is like Eureka's delinquent Rory Gilmore. Heh. I think that makes Jack their Lorelai. And Stark is their Luke without the diner. Which proves the Jack/Nathan is OTP (OMG, please don't be telling me Vincent is their Luke. I will cry)
- Stark's smile at the end was adorable. When he's done sexing Jack, he can come find me.
- I love snarky SARAH.

you're so ridiculous. :)

it's not like sga doesn't steal plots either. or how about farscape season 4's "look at the effect of john's space marijuana!"

the difference with sga is that the writing is for the most part solid that even though some of the plots are recyled and some of the idess are recycled, they're still good.

farscape... questionable. things started to spiral in season 4.

eureka i can't comment on because i've never seen it. i didn't even know it existed until you made a post on it a while back. and you have now put the image of gilmore girls into my head with this show, so if i do ever end up watching it, i'll probably be thinking of lorelai whenever i see jack, and that will just be weird.

I am ridiculous. It how I amuse myself.

I know it's not just a Eureka thing. SGA steals plots ALL THE TIME. OMG. ALL. THE. TIME. I don't mind. I don't mind when Eureka does it either. As long as I'm entertained, it's all good. I mock because I love.

Eureka is a pretty good show. It's funny and silly. You won't really find any deep meaning in it or anything. It's a good show to keep you amused on a Tuesday evening. If you do ever watch it, let me know if you think of Lorelai. :)

Hahahaha. I love that TNG episode. *uses an appropriate icon*

Someday I will watch Eureka. I keep saying I'm going to. I watched the first seven or so episodes, but I missed the rest when I went back to school. So I didn't watch this season yet, 'cause I wanted to catch up.

But I haven't. ><

Aww. Picard!

You should catch up! I think you can watch the episodes on Scifi.com. At least this season. I'm not sure about last season.
