I came late to Eureka – the story of a town full of geniuses (is that genii?) where all manner of mishaps happen – but once I discovered it I was totally hooked. So it’s with a mix of excitement and sadness that I write to say that the fifth and final series of Eureka is starting on SyFy UK tonight (Wednesday 16th May, 9PM).

This series kicks off with the town reeling after the Astraeus and her crew mysteriously disappeared before launching on their voyage to Titan. When the Astraeus finally crash lands Allison and the crew find themselves back in Eureka – four years after they left. As the town copes with the shocking personal changes that have happened during their absence, Sheriff Carter and Henry try to uncover the truth about the forces behind the crew’s bizarre disappearance.
