It was less than a week ago that Syfy announced its long running series Eureka would get a six episode season six order and that those six episodes would be the last for the series. Then, Syfy apparently had a change of heart and announced Eureka would not get six episodes for a final season and instead would end after this season.

Now, things have apparently changed yet again. Syfy has announced, and Deadline has confirmed, that Eureka will get one more episode after current episodes air to properly wrap up the series.

According to reports, Syfy executives called the cast to apologize for the conflicting decisions over the past week, which included a six-episode final-season order, followed by no-final-season announcement and then the additional episode pickup. Well, at least they apologized, which is nice.

Reports are that the six-episode order was overruled by the new post-merger management as the series was getting expensive after 5 seasons and has enough finished episodes. Most affected are some crew members who turned down job offers last week when Eureka was picked up for 6 more episodes only to find out later that wasn’t happening. I bet they didn’t get a call from Syfy executives.

At least the network still has other cool shows like Warehouse 13 and Alphas which, after a bit of a slow start, is getting better and better.

Do you love all the shows on Syfy like Warehouse 13, Alphas, Eureka and more but are very sad you missed Comic-Con in San Diego and all the great trailers for your favorite shows? We know how you feel. Well, we were at Comic-Con but we do know how it feels to miss stuff. Firefly anyone?

Fortunately, thanks to our pals at Syfy, we’ve got you covered — at least in the cool trailers department. How? Well, we’ve got all the great trailers for all the cool Syfy shows seen only by the folks at Comic-Con right here for you today.

That’s right, all the scoop on the upcoming seasons of Eureka, Alphas, Warehouse 13, Being Human and Sanctuary can be yours. All you have to do is have faith and click your mouse.

Check them all out after the jump. Catch all these shows, and more, on Syfy each and every week.

It’s a good thing when Sci-Fi shows on a mainstream network keep getting further opportunities to be seen. Too often a show doesn’t get a chance to build an audience and is canceled. Fortunately, that’s not the case with Syfy’s Warehouse 13, which has been renewed for a third season.

After weeks of rumors, the cable network is set to announce a 13-episode pickup. Showrunner Jack Kenny will on board for another round and has signed a development deal with Syfy. During its second season, “Warehouse” averaged 3.4 million viewers and 1.5 million in the adults 18-49 demographic, making it Syfy’s most-watched series this year.

“Jack Kenny’s superlative leadership and the incredible talent of his cast and crew delivered an outstanding second season of ‘Warehouse 13,’ ” Syfy programming chief Mark Stern said. “We’re excited to see this successful series return next year and to developing our next hit with Jack.”

The Tuesday night drama follows two Secret Service agents who collect dangerous supernatural artifacts. No, its not the X-Files — but it is sorta similar. Still, a good show we’re glad to see get a third season.

As we often do because hey, why not, we’ve got a preview for tonight’s episode of Syfy’s hit series Warehouse 13 to share with you today. And this one looks pretty cool.

In the episode entitled “Vendetta” the team flies to Russia to track down a killer with links to Artie. As usual, things don’t go exactly as planned and the team is forced to improvise.

What is going on with this killer and why does he have a link to Artie? The answers may surprise you. To find out you’ll just have to watch. I know I will be, just like every week.

Check out the preview for tonight’s all-new episode of Warehouse 13 after the jump. Tune in at 9/8C for all the action only on Syfy.

SyFy’s Eureka and Warehouse 13 are filled to the brim with gizmos a plenty and government geniuses.  Much like the perfect swirl at Pink Berry, when these two shows crossover they form the perfect blend of high tech adventures. So, when The Flickcast sat down with the energetic, witty, and down to earth Neil Grayston, we couldn’t help but inquire about his fictional and non-fictional cohort Allison Scagliotti.

Neil Grayston, who plays Douglas Fargo on Eureka, it seems is an international man of mystery.  I say international because he is in fact from Canada, and mystery because who knew he used to be a wrestler and still keeps his black belt firmly pressed?  I’m sure this is why Allison Scagliotti of Warehouse 13 finds her pal perpetually fascinating.

The Flickcast: Is it fun seeing Warehouse 13’s Allison Scagliotti in San Diego?

Neil Grayston: Yeah, well it’s funny, Allison and I met a year ago, here at Comic-Con.  We hit it off pretty much right away and we’ve kept in touch and we’re like really, really good friends. And then, we got paid to hang out and work together for 2 weeks, and make out and stuff.

We have a very similar way of doing things- we answer each other’s sentences so many times and we have the same punch lines.  Like when another person has just said something and we’ll both try to make a clever quip and it’ll be at the same time with the same inflection.

It was really fun, I hope I can go back, because the whole Warehouse 13 cast is great and the whole Eureka cast is great, and we all sort of blend quite well together.

Often the Internet is a source of news, information and, on occasion, social relevance. Other times it can serve as a springboard or a rallying point for fans of a particular person or thing to spread the word promoting whatever they are passionate about. In this case, the person fans are passionate about is Warehouse 13 actress Allison Scagliotti.

Not only are these fans acutely aware of Scagliotti’s appeal, they have an even more specific purpose in mind: to help her — and not Megan Fox –  win the title role of Cassie Hack in the big screen adaptation of Time Seely’s comic Hack/Slash. To help facilitate this they have made a video appealing to other fans of the actress and the comic and trying to build support for her getting the role.

The video, brought to us by our pal SamProof, makes several good points about the actress and her ties to the geek and comic community. She also resembles the character quite a bit. However, it’s really up to you and those like you if videos like this are going to have any influence on those big Hollywood decision makers.

Judge for yourself and check out the video after the jump. Also, if you thing Scagliotti would make a good Cassie Hack, sound off in the comments.

Well gang, it’s official. Syfy has decided to give Eureka, everyone’s favorite show about a town of misfit geniuses, a fifth season. The news was announced by Mark Stern, Exec. VP of original programming for the network. Said Stern: “Eureka remains a steadfast performer for Syfy with its superb cast and perfect blend of drama, comedy and eye candy.”

In case you’re not familiar with the show and are wondering what all the fuss is about, here’s some info from our friends at Syfy: “Eureka seems like any other cozy, Pacific Northwest town, but is actually a secret community of geniuses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research. What they’ve unwittingly created is a place where anything imaginable can happen… and does.”

Currently, Eureka features a diverse and talented cast including Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Niall Matter and James Callis. It is currently enjoying good ratings in its fourth season and also has several interesting twists and stunts planned including a crossover episode with Syfy’s Warehouse 13, guest stars including Ming-Na, Jaime Ray Newman, Ed Quinn, Wil Wheaton, Jamie Kennedy, Chris Parnell, Matt Frewer and Felicia Day and a recently announced holiday episode slated to air in December.

As fans of he show we couldn’t be happier about this development. It’s great to see original sci-fi programming getting the recognition and treatment it deserves. Now if only Syfy would give a second season to Caprica and bring back Battlestar Galactica. Hey, we can dream, can’t we?

Eureka airs Friday nights at 9:00PM ET/PT on Syfy.

Happy Friday. Hope you’re enjoying the day. If you’re plans call for some TV watching tonight we’ve got clips for brand new episodes of both Eureka and Haven to share with you today.

First up on a Eureka episode called “Crossing Over”, Warehouse 13‘s Claudia pays a surprise visit to Eureka looking for something or someone. What she’s doing is anyone’s guess, but you can bet things won’t be as they seem.

Next up on Haven in an episode called “Ball and Chain”, strange things are happening as time speeds ahead and the men of Haven begin to rapidly age. Just like that episode of the original Star Trek where Kirk and Spock go to that planet and McCoy is older so he ages faster and . . . Sorry. Never mind.

Check out clips for both shows after the jump. Eureka airs at 9/8C and Haven at 10/9C tonight only on Syfy.

We tend to post a lot of previews for shows here at The Flickcast. We like to do it because shows we think are cool need to get as much of an audience as they can in order to stick around for awhile. We don’t want another Firefly situation on our hands, do we?

With that in mind we have a couple clips from some Syfy shows to share with you today. The first is from a brand new episode of Warehouse 13, a show that has been getting better and better with each episode. With season two now in full swing tonight’s episode, entitled “Mild Mannered,” brings the team another adventure where things are not what they seem and danger lurks around every corner. Plus, you can count on some weird artifact that is screwing everything up.

The second clip is from the season premiere of tomorrow’s Ghost Hunters International, a show that we usually watch through our hands covering our eyes. Yes, it’s pretty scary. It does have ghosts, after all.

Check out both clips after the break. Warehouse 13 airs tonight at 9/8C and Ghost Hunters International tomorrow at 9/8C only on Syfy.

As a fan of the show, not something you want to miss.
