Eureka 5.3 Review: "Force Quit"
By John Keegan and Gregg Wright
As the final part of a three-episode saga, "Force Quit" has the task of resolving the "Matrix" situation completely and getting everything back to normal. And in addition, it also effectively wraps up the arc that began with the second half of season 4, when Senator Wen first arrived on the scene and the Astraeus project was commissioned. In that respect, the episode, and this 3-part arc, have been relatively successful. I still think that it's a bit of a let-down that the Astraeus's grand voyage ended up amounting to little more than a plot to kidnap Eureka scientists, in the aim of furthering their perpetually ambiguous goals.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
This felt like a really odd season finale. I expected this given what occurred in the previous episode, and is so often the case with this show, it delivered pretty much on what was promised. The episode's title of "The Dream Team" has sports connotations to myself personally, and the plot eerily follows suit in that way. It's more of an all-star highlights approach of most of the little subplots that have been building throughout this season.

By John Keegan
I've come to the conclusion that Neil Jordan, having looked back on the first season, decided that sticking to historical events wouldn't be nearly so much fun as simply playing in the Borgia sandbox. And I'm wondering if that's why the show feels a bit more interesting this season; there's no telling which events will be rearranged to keep the drama flowing and the audience on its toes.

By John Keegan and Paul Pearson
"Lost Girl" is slipping. It's sad, given the high quality of the first season was and the very strong premiere of the second, but "Scream a Little Dream" manages to dip below the previous episode with fumbling, unengaging stories that distract from what could and should be the interesting focus of it all.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
Every character on "Mad Men" could easily be so happy and content with their lives. It would suck much of the drama out of the show, but it has occurred to me that this show may be the saddest one on television right now. Even in a moment of triumph for the firm -- Megan saving the floundering Heinz account -- the joy feels somewhat muted, possibly because business still remains tenuous.
