Last week, around Thursday, I was sick. It was a pretty far gone kind of sick, too. The kind that hits you really hard early on with a pillowcase full of Sick Bricks\u2122 which basically just lays you out flat for the rest of the day. So, laid up in bed (with unfortunate periodic trips to the bathroom PLEASE,\u00a0ASK FOR DETAILS, I DARE YOU) I did what any self-respecting human met with an entire frequently interrupted day in bed would do: I consumed massive amounts of Netflix.\u00a0What that meant for ME in particular was finally taking Wil Wheaton’s advice and diving headlong into the first season of Eureka<\/a>.<\/p>\n And, man<\/em>, am I ever glad I did.<\/p>\n It’s been a very long time since I’ve watched a show that has such talented actors bringing to life such wonderfully insane characters. The show’s overarching situation is engaging and open to huge possibilities, the\u00a0plots are crazy fun, and I think I’ve probably fallen in love with Colin Ferguson and his common sense detective style, chiseled jaw, and disarming smile (but in a totally platonic NOT GAY way. Totally). This has to be one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve watched in a great while.<\/p>\n So, thank you, Wil Wheaton (who will never see this, but I’m choosing to address to directly regardless in order to allow me at least some semblance of a manageable conclusion to this blog post) for introducing me to this show through your recommendations on the Internets. You have a new fan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week, around Thursday, I was sick. It was a pretty far gone kind of sick, too.
