Eureka (television series)

Eureka is a high-tech city in Oregon (in the pilot series - Washington ), populated by brilliant scientists working on new research. The city is run by a corporation called Global Dynamics (GD), which is controlled by the US Department of Defense. The existence of the city is kept secret.

Government official (bailiff) Jack Carter stumbles upon Eureka while transporting his daughter, a juvenile delinquent, to Los Angeles to her mother. And since the previous sheriff became a cripple in the pilot series, Carter is appointed to this position. Despite the lack of genius, like other residents of the city, Jack Carter’s ability to find a common language, his simple but effective ideas, practicality and constant devotion to his work constantly saves Eureka, and sometimes the whole world, from one disaster after another.

• Sheriff Jack Carter ( Colin Ferguson ) is a US marshal (bailiff) who is reluctant to become Eureka's sheriff. He is surprised by the wonders of Eureka, as well as their ability to lead to a situation that threatens the whole city, if not the world. Despite the fact that he is not knowledgeable in science, in a city full of geniuses, Jack is respected for simple ideas and the ability to find a connection between seemingly disparate events, which often helps to solve the situation.
• Dr. Allison Blake ( Sally Richardson-Whitfield ) is an agent of the Department of Defense, who is the link between Eureka and the federal government, and then becomes Director of Global Dynamics. Always actively involved in resolving the situation. She has a son, Kevin, who has autism (his father died when he was a child) and a daughter, Jenna (conceived from Nathan Stark, shortly before his death). After changing the timeline, Kevin no longer suffered from autism, but Ellison was no longer the director of Global Dynamics, she became the head of the medical department.
• Dr. Henry Deacon ( Joe Morton ) is a city jack of all trades. Although, like most residents of Eureka, Henry is a brilliant scientist, he is against a number of studies at GD, and therefore prefers to work as an urban mechanic. Henry often provides invaluable assistance in solving a problem. In season 3, he became mayor of the city (Lexi entered him). In an altered time, he was married to a barely familiar woman. He tried to keep everything secret, but later tells everything to his “wife” after he realizes that he is falling in love with her.
• Sheriff Josephine's assistant “Joe” Lupo ( Erica Serra ) - another resident of the city who is not distinguished by genius, loves weapons. In season 2, after a short romance with Taggert, he develops a relationship with Zane. He makes her an offer in the premiere series of season 4, but Joe could not answer him. Later, when time changed, it turned out that they had never met in the new reality, but, on the contrary, they could not stand each other. In modern times, she is the head of security at GD.
• Dr. Nathan Stark ( Ed Quinn ) was one of the leading scientists of Eureka. He and Jack often quarrel, although they respect each other.

In season 4, appears in one episode as a hallucination of Jack Carter.
• Dr. Douglas Fargo ( Greyston, Neil ) is a junior scientist whom colleagues regard scornfully. Often it is the cause of disasters befitting a city. It also causes a significant share of problems. Neil Greyston also provides the voice of S. A. R. Y. (Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat) - the rational home of Jack and Zoe Carters. In a changed reality, he is the director of GD, which, incidentally, his staff can not stand. Here he was an imperious egoist, whose role he could not cope with. He participated in the intersection with the TV series “ Vault 13 ” of the same channel: in the 5th series of the 2nd season of that series, he comes to Vault 13 in order to update the computer system on it.
• Zane Donovan ( Niall Matter ) is a jerky genius who was hired in season 2 as an alternative to imprisonment after he was arrested on charges of fraud (allegedly caused the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange). He also develops a relationship with Joe Lupo, shortly after arriving in Eureka. However, these relationships are erased with a change in the timeline. He again became an eternal prankster with criminal inclinations and does not get along very well with Joe, but he quickly learns about changes in reality and tries to restore relations.

• Zoe Carter ( Jordan Hinson ) - Jack's eccentric daughter. Unlike her father, she’s smart enough to keep up with the inhabitants of the city (her IQ is 157). She longs to be a doctor and, with the help of a letter of recommendation from Henry, is accepted into the medical program of Harvard University. She meets with Lucas, but in an augmented reality, they broke up when he moved to Geneva. He shows interest in Zane, but this does not translate into a serious attitude, since Zane is trying to find out about his relationship with Joe before the reality changes.

He is proud to be able to cook anything according to the client’s order, in particular, due to the strange properties of his refrigerator, which is an endless room in which the ingredients for his dishes are stored. He is no exception among the geniuses of the city and has a doctorate in molecular gastronomy.
