"Eureka!"

Well, it's probably not polite to talk about another SciFi TV series, on another network, here on my Fox TV show blog, but after seeing the first episode of the third season of "Eureka" last night, I've decided that I really want to live in a town like that. I need to live in a town like that! Seriously, what could be more fun than to live in a community where everyone has a purpose? A scientific purpose. Where the entire town supports a top secret vanguard technical industry where geniuses live and work -- a town where logic rules, and nutty, fringe-y, science-y things happen all...the...time! Sigh. Ayn Rand described it best in her essay "Apollo 11" in 1969, after attending the launch as a guest of NASA:

"Our room was the home of an engineer employed at the Space Center...one might have said a typical small-town family, except for one thing: a quality of cheerful openness, directness, almost innocence -- the benevolent, unselfconsciously self-confident quality of those who live in the clean, strict, reality-oriented atmosphere of science."

It doesn't get any better than that. So if you think that you would like to live in that kind of town (with a kooky twist), check out "Eureka" on the SciFi Channel on Tuesday nights if you haven't already discovered it.
