GGGoH: Eureka (from the TV show) instead of Smallville - Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards

Hi FoLCs!

Due to some recent viewing of Eureka I got the following idea. Since Martha appears so tech-savvy on the show, what if Smallville where Eureka. The TV show is about a small town in Oregon (could be moved, of course

) that's acting as a safe haven for the leading scientists. So what if the Kents lived there? On one hand, it would make hiding Clark that much harder, it would also mean that they would probably worry about any one of their colleagues sending a baby into orbit

but the bunny basically centers around Lois expecting a hicktown and instead of just the minor embarrassments from GGGoH, she's confronted with a bunch of more or less crazy scientists having a blast.

Interesting idea. You could argue that there are so many odd things going on in Eureka that the Kents wouldn't have to 'hide'. That Clark would be more of a 'town secret'.

That would be fun seeing Lois react to Eureka. It's such an ecletic place.

I was thinking about the town secret, too. Problem that I stumbled upon was GD, the high amount of government interaction and the close proximity of the military. Not sure if it would have been healthy for Clark to be exposed to the entire town.

Just had another fun thought. Since Eureka wouldn't want to attract the press and the close military presence in the first place, Lois might be sent there to investigate strange occurrences with Clark trying to discourage her. And the townsfolk trying to hide all their less than ordinary equipment, and failing in the most obvious ways

please

someone pleeeeease write this

Good point about the military and Clark not going together. But you've got me thinking, practically every other episode we're learning about secret projects in that town. So the idea of his abilities being secret could work.

You could make Martha some type of artistic that mixes technology with traditional art.

I love the idea of Lois investigating the town with everyone messing up. That sounds like fun!

Joan

Please, this sounds awesome!

I know Eureka's off of the air, but I still would love to see this written!

Sounds like fun! I'd read this.

A Town Called Smallville

Plus - there's Warehouse 13 set in same universe as Eureka. So Artie and James would be out there as Warehouse agents. And Mrs. Fredricks...

I've put it on my short list!

Michael

Mrs. Fredricks...

I'm convinced that she went to the same school as Hettie Lang (NCIS Las Vegas), Edna Mode (The Incredibles), and Guinan (Star Trek: TNG) e.g. all-wise, all-knowing and REALLY scary women.
