It should end where it began

I think it should end with Beverly or Wen trying to reboot Eureka because they figure out that Jack was the reason they couldn't gain control of it.

They reboot it and Jack and his daughter decide not to stop and drive past Eureka. Wen or Beverly think they're rid of Jack but he gets into an accident with Allison as she's coming back to Eureka.

So like the Matrix, the Architect couldn't get past what he saw as an imperfection in humans that kept showing up as an anomaly in the system. Maybe the anomaly is the love between Jack and Allison.

Nice suggestion, but I don't think Wen will be available. I think the clue to the finale is in its title "Just Another Day." Life in Eureka will just go on as usual without anything big happening.

how can you reboot something that is not a program? you have misunderstood the last episodes!

Oh, but it is... is the OP's point. :-)

Someone capable of creating the Eurtrix could create one inside itself, thus trick the Eureka residents (and audience).

the lamest story would be that all Eureka has been a program...

[–] wwkirk 13 years ago

I agree. That would be a disappointment.

I would love to have them find a "mystery program" in the matrix computer. When they whip up a body (like they did with Holley), up sits Nathan Stark!

Yeah, it was bad enough when an entire season on the original "Dallas" was 'just a dream,' but an entire series being a dream would be like a giant middle finger to the show's loyal viewers. Kind of like the whole 'history has been changed' plot of JJ Abrahms' 'Star Trek' reboot.

That was already done on St. Elsewhere in the 80s. The entire series was a figment of imagination of an autistic child. The child was the son of the main doctor. But in reality, the child's father wasn't a doctor at all. The boy was transfixed on a hospital snow globe and made the whole thing up in his mind.

It felt like a ripoff then.. I hope they don't do that to Eureka. It was done more successfully on the finale of The Bob Newhart Show. It was hilarious.

I think you mean Newhart rather than The Bob Newhart show. In Newhart, the main character wakes up in the bed next to his wife from The Bob Newhart show and says something about having the strangest dream where he was running a inn in Vermont.

#1 - they already did that with 'Newhart' back in the 80s. He woke up to find the entire show had been a dream while next to his wife from his show before that one form the 70s 'The Bob Newhart Show'.

#2 - WTF were they going to do with another Star Terk movie if they didn't reboot it - digitize the original cast and keep making CGI versions of the franchise ?

I dont think the guy was moaning that they made a reboot, he was talking about how they changed the timeline for how kirk grew up his father's death therefore changing future events in the timeline, what would be fall the crew. he wasn't suggesting using the old folks in anyway, besides who would want Shatner back at all.

I'm with you there Tracheophyta

It would then clear up that first episode

No matter what you say 'Pulp Fiction' is best film in the world.

It's not an opinion, it's what happened.
