Okay, and now reading back...
If callister was wireless, why was it a big deal that he was touching things? They made a point of showing him pushing the button for the crosswalk, etc. (and why did he need to be wireless at all?) How did he blow stuff up?
He told Stark he was "losing control" so I figured he was touching things to have more control, so he wouldn't accidentally blow something up. He was wireless because having Wifi in my head would rock, and it would therefore be the first feature I would include in my robot.
The wireless transmitter became wonky because Stark replaced some chip or other before he sent Callister away, for a reason I need to rewatch to find out what it was. It was the new chip that was making things wonky. (I wasn't entirely clear on where the virus came from, but I think the town caught it from Callister.)
you geeks with the magneto and the handwaving and the glayvin - WOO you had me laughing.
flapping arms
oh favorite, I cackled out loud and scared the cats.
RE: the magnetic fence. I was afeared of earrings beiga target and her head...well, you know I'ma prude and I had to look away.
We enjoyed this week's Eureka. Even my cat, Sammie, sat and watched it. She does have a thing for sandy-haired males, so it may have been entirely superficial on her part.
The coffee cups Zoe had at the end were obviously empty. Props! Can we get some liquid in these? How about sand?
You know, Daniel, the coffee cups bothered me too, but I figured I was just being too petty for words and didn't say anything. Thanks for speaking up.
I've poked at the the things that bugged but I haven't said what I liked--which was seeing the human side of Stark--for a robot, which was his child, sort of. And the blowup at Zoe, and the apology. All good things. I wondered why there had to be a Zoe, she seemed superfluous at first. But some of the best interaction has been between Zoe and Jack.
I'm sorry about losing the cow -- that would have been priceless!
If you're going to be set in the real world and talk about science and be entertaining, there will be handwaving.
Yup. It's part science, part fiction. But there does need to be a nice balance.
I caught up with the marathon yesterday. I've somehow managed to miss the 2nd part of the pilot but Many Happy Returns is my favorite episode so far. I think it was a good hook.
You know, Daniel, the coffee cups bothered me too, but I figured I was just being too petty for words and didn't say anything. Thanks for speaking up.
No problem. I enjoyed the episode, but empty things that should be heavier always niggles at my brain.
Of course, maybe they were special Eureka!cups. Antigravity in a cup.
Eureka!cups. Antigravity in a cup.
As long as what's in the cup smells nice, I don't mind wearing it in my hair because that is what would happen the first time I tried to use one.
There was liquid in the cups. It's funny that they looked empty. We always use liquid because empty cups don't behave properly. That's funny.
Maybe in sorting out the scene we got too familiar with the props. I'll re-watch it.
