(We're posting polls inspired by Eureka Season 4.5 episodes! If you haven't seen the episode, heads up -- mild spoilers follow.)
It seems like everyone in Eureka wants to be part of the Astraeus mission, and competition's going to be fierce. What experiment would you propose to get your ticket to Titan?
Did we leave your dream experiment off the list? Discuss it in the comments!
5 answer LOL!

I have a question that I'm not sure y'all can answer. Who makes the decision on when new episodes go online? I am unable to afford cable but love Eureka and Warehouse 13 so I paitiently wait them going up on SyFy's website and on Hulu (because I want to watch them legally and properly so that all involved get their residules and such like.) Lately the distance between the airing and the putting up online is getting greater and greater. Eureka has episodes 411 and 412 up and the next episode appears to be scheduled to go online on October 20!! Episode 413 aired on July 25 and it will be three months before it becomes available. It is this kind of thing that will discourage me from ever watching your show again.
Anyway, I'll gladly take this up with the proper person if I knew who they were. Can you help me get in touch with them?
Sincerly,
Sarah

Sarah, you'd need to contact Syfy.com, since they are the ones who decide what gets posted when. We don't have information for a contact person, unfortunately.
New episodes are available on iTunes for $2.99 each -- it's not free, but cheaper than cable. :)
And thank you for supporting the legal online viewing of these episodes. You're exactly right about residuals: when people watch a pirated show, none of the people who worked on it see any benefit, and the network doesn't look at those numbers when considering future seasons for us.
Best of luck and thanks for being a fan.

Syfy.com has been great about posting episodes this summer. I've watched every episode for the first time on cable, and then a second time the next morning on syfy.com. Glimpse was there Tuesday morning. I believe that Hulu Plus (the pay service) gets the episodes during the season and the regular Hulu gets them after the season ends, so that October date is probably the free Hulu. But the episodes have been available on Syfy every week.

Glimpse and Up in the Air are not available yet on syfy or hulu. I just checked SyFy.com again and the last show they have up is episode 12 Reprise. I know several other people who are also waiting for the shows to be available. You can purchase Glimpse on Amazon.com instant video for only $1.99. But, I would love to know why Syfy quit posting the episodes the day after they air??? And, if they'll start posting them again?

Hey - What do we need to do. I'm going through a divorce, living in my basement with only my computer and wifi for entertainment. Waiting one or up to three months to watch a continuation of a season we have had teaser episodes available is madening. Please have pity on the less fortunate. We're suffering enough in other aspects of our lives - don't take make us wait for what little joy we get through escapism and Eureka!
