The Secret Circle 1.19 Review: "Crystal"
By John Keegan
This far into the season, I’m still of the opinion that the writers are struggling to shove the narrative towards some semblance of a grand unifying conclusion, even if the various plot points don’t necessarily gel very well. We finally get a resolution to a long-standing mystery, and there’s some clarification to the overall generational conflict, but all the meandering, fits, and false starts of the season have left me cold.

By John Keegan
I mentioned in the review for the previous episode that it felt like the third season arc had been poorly conceived, and that what should have been a clear path to the season finale endgame was becoming a muddled mess. I was hoping that this episode would resolve that problem, but for the most part, it just continues along the same path.

Pete Campbell has everything anyone could ever ask for. A successful job, a doting wife, a child, a house in the suburbs. So why is he looking for more instead of accepting how good he really has it? It probably has something to do with his stunted growth and adaptation to his adult personality. He is, in essence, a spoiled rotten child in an adult body.

One of the things I really dislike about seasonal television is the tendency to employ the "Reset Button Plot." Season premieres are the most prominent offenders of this. Returning the plot to the current status quo and essentially rendering the events that occurred in the episode moot can make it so that the viewer stops investing in what happens to the characters, plots, the very heart of the show itself.

By John Keegan and Gregg Wright
This ought to be the first episode of the second-to-last season of "Eureka", preceding a final six-episode season. But as most "Eureka" fans know, this was not to be. The impression I got was that the fifth season was virtually all "in the can" when the cancellation news hit, so there was a very real danger that "Eureka" would end without a real ending. Only one additional episode was produced to make up for this. It's a paltry victory, but it's better than no ending at all.
