Talk:Eureka (2006 TV series)

Scientific inaccuracy

In 3x05 (Show me the Mummy), roughly 38 minutes into the episode, Vince enters -273ºF, referring to it as "Zero degrees Kelvin". This is inaccurate on two accounts. First off, Kelvin is measured in Kelvins, not degrees. Secondly, -273ºF is roughly 100 Kelvins. In fact, 0 K is roughly -460ºF.

This and other gaffes lead me to think there should be a section here about scientific flaws like that in the show. However, I only have that mistake at the moment (scientific inaccuracies for the sake of story not included), so I'm not making the section right now, but hopefully people can find other mistakes to add to this list in order to do so. --Lengau (talk) 09:06, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Enh. "Degrees Kelvin" is obselete terminology, but not a big deal, and probably clearer for the audience. The other is just a slip — saying Fahrenheit when it should have been Centigrade.

Not obsolete at all. In science u benefit alot from using kelvin in your calculations when computing temperatures and thermal energy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.176.244.198 (talk) 02:11, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

No. Hes referring to the fact that you say 2 Kelvin not 2 degrees Kelvin.155.33.168.206 (talk)

Well, Centigrade is definitely obsolete. Temps have been measured in degrees Celsius for many years. A degree Celsius is the same size as a Kelvin, and Celsius starts at 273 K = 0 C. Fahrenheit (not used in the industrial world except the US) is a different scale, starting at about 260 K = 0 deg F, a Fahrenheit degree is five/ninths of a Kelvin. Anyway, nobody expects science fantasy stories to be accurate - it's way too limiting for the writers!

Centigrade is celcius.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centigrade I've never hear celcius on american Television, only centigrade. Plz dont destroy the centigrade article on wikipedia now ppl :P —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.176.244.189 (talk) 23:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Eureka's Top Secret Location

The article mentions that Eureka is a "closely guarded secret." This can't be true due to the fact that Jack Carter and his daughter stumbled upon it so easily. Mdriver1981 (talk) 05:36, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

they didnt stumble, he was hire to move there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.189.17 (talk) 19:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I belive he was talking about when they first arrived there during the storm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.226.133.15 (talk) 21:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Not to mention Jack's sister and her boyfriend showing up without seeming to have any reason. It seems the idea of keeping it completely secret went out with most of the original direction of the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.44.28.48 (talk) 23:55, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Quote

In the episode "Here Come the Suns" one young girl (I'm not too up-to-date on the story so I can't quite remember her name.) makes an interesting point on the show in response to an arguably hysterical meteorologist (Again, I can't remember the names).

Meteorologist- "How was I supposed to know someone would be causing a fusion reaction in their clubhouse?!"

Young Girl- "DUH! You live in Eureka!"

Or something very similar. With names, I think this quote should be given somewhere in the aticle, as it is in itself a perfect description of thethe show's theme, and I have seen other quotes in pages about TV Series. Brandonrc2 (talk) 00:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

No. Only if it's an official tagline type of quote. Not just a quote from a random episode. Crash Underride 18:03, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

"The Artifact"

I mentioned this in the Nathan Stark article also. For some reason some retard makes reference to "The Artifact" like it is something everyone on the planet should know about. Why not explain what it is before talking about Henry trying to separate the kid from it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.82.125 (talk) 02:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Plot details

He received early acceptance to MIT after a letter of recommendation from Henry, so he is able to be with Zoe in Massachusetts.

While I appreciate the intent of the submitter as a fan of the show, this detail about the character is minor and unnecessary. It also occurred in the most recent episode, which I happened to be watching on Tivo while reading the page - a plot detail now revealed to me. I would suggest that plot details not be divulged in areas of the article that are not prefaced by 'spoiler alert' or otherwise identified.

I'm just sayin' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeburtner (talk • contribs) 21:07, 19 September 2009

As stated in WP:SPOILER "Since it is generally expected that the subjects of our articles will be covered in detail, such warnings are considered unnecessary. Therefore, Wikipedia no longer carries spoiler warnings" and "It is not acceptable to delete information from an article because you think it spoils the plot." While it seems like a minor and unnecessary, that will probably means that he won't be in season 4, which is quite big. _Xeworlebi ^(t•c) 19:35, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
