4* In the pilot, Carter first demonstrates his impressive deductive skills, by finding the young Brian Perkins hiding in the family trailer. Calmly following a trail of chocolate to the boy's hiding spot, which several "super geniuses" had failed to notice.
5** Carter later realizing that Allison's son Kevin, is the only person left in the town who can figure out how to stop Dr. Perkins device.
6* Carter gets one in "Blink" when a FragileSpeedster charges him. Carter pulls a baseball out of his pocket and hits the guy in the head with it. BadassNormal indeed.
7** Honestly, every time Jack Carter saves Eureka is a moment of awesome for the sheriff.
8* Zoey delivering a ShutUpHannibal in "Duck, Duck, Goose" to Megan. Right after she accuses Zoey of being stupid and only getting by because she's the Sheriff's daughter.

12* The dream in "Noche De Ssuenos" where Fargo plays a ''[[Franchise/{{Zorro}} Zorro]]'' like character is also hilarious. His "duel" with Villain!Stark was actually a bit impressive.

16* "From Fear To Eternity", only an indestructible hardened metallic foam stands between Carter and saving Zoe's life. He waits patiently, and the block dissolves to reveal. . .
17--> '''Jo''': Good afternoon! My name's Jo Lupo and I'll be saving your ass today!
18* It's not often [[ButtMonkey Fargo]] gets a [=CMoA=], but it happens. In ''It's Not Easy Being Green'', the B plot of the episode is the annual Eureka vs. Area 51 Bowling Match, which is SeriousBusiness for all parties. Finally, at the end of the game, Fargo's first ball has resulted in a Seven-Ten Split, the most difficult spare in bowling to pick up. Fargo focuses, kisses his ball for luck, and throws it dead-center down the lane. It's almost to the pins when it ''splits in two and takes out the two remaining pins'', giving Eureka the win!
19* The episode "Bad to the Drone" introduces Martha, [[BuffySpeak the Cylon Shuttle Thing]]. Which is capable of some very impressive flying maneuvers. Even when going up against actual fighter jets.
20** Zoey talking Martha down from her near lethal tantrum.
21* "Have an Ice Day", Zoey saving everyone at Café Diem from freezing by getting them together and leading them into the freezer and cranking up the heat.
22** Not the first time Vincent's freezer saved the day. In "Show Me the Mummy" he used it to kill a plague of ancient Egyptian bugs that can't stand the cold.
23--> '''Vincent''': Zero degrees Kelvin, baby, bless you fusion reactor!

26[[folder:Season Four]]

28--> '''Allison''': Okay, this is ''really'' bad!
29--> '''Jack''': Yeah, for them...
30* Fargo standing up to General Mansfield in "The Ex-Files".
31--> '''Jessica Lansky''': (''taunts the general as he leaves Fargo's office'') Who's looking for the backdoor now? HA!
32* ''Liftoff'' is a Crowning Episode of Awesome for Fargo. He's growing into his newfound responsbilities as head of Global Dynamics, to the point where his fellow time-travellers are considering them the real boss. Then he and Zane accidentally get shot into orbit in an old space capsule with not controls, radio, attitude control, and just six hours of life support. Cue Douglas Fargo, Eureka's professional ButtMonkey, engaging in a series of pressure-filled improvised solutions to problems, and handling it all so well and so calmly [[Literature/TheMartian Mark Watney]] would be proud. All while professional bad boy Zane is freaking out.
33* "Omega Girls", Allison [[FightingFromTheInside fighting back]] and preventing Beverly from using her codes to steal Eureka's secrets.

37** Zoe managing to first escape Dekker and his associate by hiding amongst the unconscious people in GD. Then she manages to tazze him when he drops his guard.
38** Jo confronting Beverly on the roof when she tries to get away with Eureka's mainframe. Jo gets to the roof and tells her to stop, she then tazzes Allison/Beverly.
39* Zane's little speech to Wen and the rest of the committee sent to evaluate the Astraeus crew candidates in ''This One Time at Space Camp...''.
40--> '''Zane''': When the pressure's on I know how to improvise. I've been doing it my whole life.
41--> '''Wen''': We're assembling the best ''team'' of twenty out of hundreds of applicants. You're a loner Mr. Donavan. You said so yourself, you never depended on anyone your entire life. By definition, your not a team player.
42--> '''Zane''': Then cut me, If I haven't proven myself already I never will. You all have yourselves a good day.
43* Eureka goes anime in the 2011 Christmas special "Do You See What I See", leading to all-around awesome.
44** Followed by Carl (Jack's jeep, long story) [[TookALevelInBadass taking several levels in Badass]] [[Film/BackToTheFuture1 by turning into a flying car]], [[Series/KnightRider piloted by an advanced A.I. system]].
45--> '''Jack''': Let's do this.
46--> '''Carl''': Yes, let's do this.
47** Jack and Andy taking advantage of the newfound cartoon physics to fight some Ninja Snowmen, and yes you read that right.

58* From "The Real Thing", Jack enduring an obviously very painful electrical discharge in order to steal a pulse array device.
59** Jo returning to town to pull a BigDamnHeroes moment. Freeing Jack and Andy from their cell.

61* The end of "Force Quit": Wen ''thinks'' she's speaking to Beverly in Carter's office but it turns out Beverly put Wen in a ''virtual version'' of the Carter's office as punishment.
62** Also in "Force Quit", Henry stealing and then setting off a stun grenade at point blank range to buy Jack and Beverley more time.
