Talking with the star and producer of “Eureka”

The Sci Fi Channel’s “Eureka” hits tonight with the second episode of the third season of the lightly comic series about a regular guy who becomes the sheriff of a very strange town. Eureka is somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, and its inhabitants are a bunch of brilliant scientists who just have a little trouble keeping their experiments on track. Which means that Sheriff Jack Carter has to work extra-hard to keep a lid on trouble.

Last week’s third-season premiere drew 2.8 million viewers, most since the show’s debut in 2006. Shortly before the season started last week, SciFi put star Colin Ferguson, who plays Carter, and executive producer Jaime Paglia on the phone with a bunch of bloggers and reporters for Q’n'A…

Question: Colin, what’s next for Carter and Allison?Colin Ferguson: We starting the Season 3 right now and before I think Carter and Allison do anything. You know, at the end of Season 2 there was a proposal from Stark to Allison. And, you know, they’re sorting out all that whole line. And we’re trying to do that, you know - well I mean Jaime’s paying close attention to make sure that’s (cleaned up) and everything. And so hopefully we’ll get back to that, I don’t know, sometime next season. What’s up Jaime?Jaime Paglia: Yeah, you know, we made a concerted effort in Season 2 to sort of force Carter and Allison apart. And, you know, we want to - that’s just a relationship that you want to earn over the course of, you know, hopefully many seasons. And, you know, this is the season that we want to start bringing them back together again, closer to the secret that she was keeping about Kevin’s, you know, connection to the artifacts and trying to solve that with Stark - brought the two of them together. So now we do have this proposal that is going to have to play out and then you’ve got the first half of this season where we will be dealing with the answer and what that - how that’s going to impact Carter and Allison’s relationship as well. And then going into the back half of the season they’re going to get - we’ll see a lot more about that.

Question: It’s such a really great quirky show I really enjoy a lot. But how do you keep it fresh? How do you keep it from becoming (campy)?Colin Ferguson: Wow. We ask ourselves that a lot. … We just try to - try to stay as honest as we can. And when something smells foul, we, you know, we don’t let it go. And you just try to stay vigilant I guess. Probably not dissimilar to a lot of things.Jaime Paglia: Yeah, I mean from the writer’s perspective, you know, we obviously want to continue to grow these characters in new and interesting ways and, you know, we consider this to be a character first and ideally every episode stands on what’s going on with the characters. And the science fiction is sort of that catalyst that we can throw in there that gives us a big toy box to play in that will impact those relationships. And, you know, we try to just make sure that whatever the concept is that we’re using that we don’t push too far. And I know occasionally we will probably walk that line and straight across it, but we do do our best to not go too far. And, you know, it’s helpful, you know, when you’ve got performers like we have that, you know, really know their characters and, you know, know what they would do or wouldn’t do and don’t go too far.

Question: Given all the technological breakthroughs that come up on this show, I was wondering if you were a techie which is to say does your cell phone have all the latest whistles and bells and does the inside of your car look like it could power the space shuttle?Jaime Paglia: It couldn’t be more the opposite actually. Colin Ferguson: Well, I mean, this is Colin and I’m kind of a techie in that I like technology a lot. I tend to wait and then move in bursts. You know, I’m not the guy who’s sort of waiting outside Apple for the latest, you know, iPhone and the latest everything. But when something comes out, I sort of wait for them to fix it and then I jump on it. So yeah, you know, in my car I got the blue tooth hands free GPS, all that stuff because I love it. But, you know, there have been a couple generations that have come out since and I don’t jump until I really need a change.
