I hope they let Jack and Jo bond a little more sans any romance. I'd love to see them develop the kind of rapport that Mal and Zoe had.

I really hope something happens to make me care about the new director and the DOD agent - right now they are mostly taking up space. I'd even rather have more of the daughter than more of them the way things are right now.

And I hope Tamlyn Tomita gets to guest-star on occasion

Me too.

The science would have worked much better if they'd explained it less, or at least less specifically

Yes! I think that's it.

I forgot to mention that the way Jason got off at the end also bugged. "We'll give you your check this time, but don't expect any more government work"? You'd think they'd at least make the check out to Kim, fer chrissakes.

Yes!!

I really liked Tamlyn Tomita. I thought she was great. I hope we see more of her.

As for the "device", each person who used it held it up and away from their faces, so maybe that's how they didn't get caught in it.

Okay, I'm listening to Colin's podcast, and he's aDORKable!!!

I may have read too much Spider Robinson.

I swear that more than once it was implied that false memories were being created. There's the how do you kill a romance/start a new one question, and also didn't Henry "remember" that the device he'd invented didn't work?

Their camera solution was cute, if lucky, but it'd have been better if I hadn't spent half an hour yelling that you should WRITE SHIT DOWN before you rush off to confront someone that you suspect of messing with memories. And when you do confront him, don't be all Andy Griffith about it. You grab him and cuff him before he can move, because you already know he's messed with your heads at least once.

And the guy who has been using the memory-wipe for however many years finds himself doing something odd and can't remember why, and isn't at all suspicious? Not to mention the fact that he really must be mentally deficient all he can think to do with the thing is mooch off his brainy wife.

How stupid is Henry if he was trying to create a memory-wipe without realizing what an incredibly devastating weapon it would be? How stupid is he to have built the thing and not put this together 20 years ago? And most of all how stupid "So Jack shot Henry, and a room full of witnesses can't remember anything that led up to it. We live in a town that is home to all kinds of dangerous experimentation, where bizarre things happen regularly. The only reasonable conclusion I can draw is that Jack's a parnaoid loon. Lock him up!" There was much eyerolling.

I hated the kid-director. So far, they've basically shown geniuses as being, y'know,ordinary people, but smarter. That's one of the appealing things about the show. Having a genius kid portrayed as a creepy, faux-sophisticated mini-adult pissed me off. It's so lazy.

Any one of those things, by itself, not a big deal. In combination, it got wearing. I did really like that Kim figured it out first, and her whole vengeance thing. And a friend and I have been giggling about "invisibling" since last week's previews.

Henry strikes me as the kind of guy who invents stuff because he can not because he should. He'll have a theory, see if he can prove it, and not think about the consequences. That's why he lives in Eureka.

I swear that more than once it was implied that false memories were being created.

Yeah, I thought Henry had a comment about the user of the device dictating what happened with the memories.

How stupid is Henry if he was trying to create a memory-wipe without realizing what an incredibly devastating weapon it would be?

I think this was the thing that bothered me most about the whole situation, or more that he could remember that he'd tried to build one (which ties into your second point about 20 years to put it together).

didn't Henry "remember" that the device he'd invented didn't work?

No, you see, it didn't work at first, but then Jason happened to be around when Henry figured it out. They quickly built the device (in under 20 minutes!), and then Jason grabbed the device and used it on Henry. Since humans are incapable of figuring out something more than once, Henry never again was able to figure out how to make the device work and he moved on.

Makes perfect sense.

I totally agree. It makes him cute.
