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 totally agree. It makes him cute.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
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.
or, Jason zapped him so many times that he eventually got frustrated and gave up/moved on to another idea.

I think that Jason zapped him and he forgot that he was even thinking about it.

I don't think that Jason has the knowledge to build it, even if he stole the originial idea from Henry. Remember, he couldn't solve the equation, even "knowing" the answer.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My take on that is that 20 years of using the memory device to cheat has made him intellectually lazy, so he would have been able to build it based on Henry's original designs, even if he couldn't do it now.

I think you play to your strengths. If you cheat and steal to keep control over your life, then that's your go to. I don't think you bother to figure much out beyond that.
We lost a couple of scenes for time. I would have liked to see them back. Just because they were slower scenes and it gave a bit of breathing room.
But you get no points for making a great 47 minute show.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What were the lost scenes? (I hate knowing there are lost scenes. I always want to see them.)

YOu know, when you suddenly see "we" in a show-thread (or a de facto show-thread), you do that "is this somebody with no self-other separation?" moment.
And then you read the user name. Hi, and welcome aboard.

Or a pony.
Though I guess a million bucks could be put towards several ponies, so, hey!
