For four seasons Eureka has been science fiction’s favorite little town, and its quirky community of geniuses has become a staple of Syfy’s primetime lineup. “Eureka” is currently Syfy’s longest-running scripted series and returns for its fifth and final season on Monday, April 16, at 9/8C. As the show starts up its final season, however, viewers will need to be either die-hard fans of the show or Eureka-like geniuses themselves to understand and follow exactly what is going on...

Season four left the citizens of Eureka reeling after the government’s latest project for them, which included assembling a crew and spaceship, the Astraeus, for a faster-than-light journey to one of the moons of Saturn, ended in a mislaunch resulting in the mysterious disappearance of both the Astraeus and her crew. The incident left many of the show’s main characters separated from family members or loved ones, and with a mystery: where is the Astraeus and her crew, and what caused the ship to launch unstoppably early?

In the season five premiere this Monday, the crew of the Astraeus returns, but while only a few hours have passed for them, during which they unwittingly have to emergency land the ship back in Eureka, more than four years have passed for the rest of the town. The crew and the town then have to cope with the various changes that have taken place, both in the administration of the town and in each of their personal lives...
