Here’s a reminder that Michael Shanks will be making his appearance in the Sci Fi Channel’s Eureka tonight at 9pm Eastern. The episode is “All That Glitters…” and involves some kind of bacteria that causes things in the town to transform into gold and disintegrate. Shanks will be playing Christopher Dactylos, the scientist-turned-artist who is the primary suspect in the case.
The Visit Eureka website has a complete spoiler summary, as well as various images taken from both the episode and behind the scenes.
“All That Glitters…” is the twelfth episode of a thirteen-episode season. It will be shown again at 12:30am (the early morning of the 26th) and next Tuesday, October 2, at 8pm, as part of an all-day marathon of the entirity of Season Two, which starts at 9am and ends with the season finale, “A Night at Global Dynamics”, at 9pm (visit Sci Fi’s Schedulebot for October 2). If you missed appearances by Stargate‘s Colin Cunningham (episode 6: “Noche de Sueños”), Teryl Rothery (episode 10: “God Is in the Details”), and Lexa Doig (episode 11: “Maneater”), you can catch them in this October 2 marathon!
The Visit Eureka website also has the broadcast schedules for the UK, Canada, and Italy. The Official website at Sci Fi includes a preview clip of the upcoming episode, as well as other multi-media features. SCI FI WIRE has a brief feature on Shanks’s appearance and concludes with the possibility that Dactylos might get to appear again in the future since he remains alive at the end of the episode.
