I liked that Jack was willing to sacrifice the bat by bashing the generator with it if it meant Zoe's safety.
The parental scream was very, very believable, too. It had the right pitch. Not that I've had to use it yet, but I've come close.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
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.

But when pizza dude (in a very appropriate red shirt) gets esploded into jiggly jello-y bits, it felt cheap and nobody seemed really scared or horrified. I don't care how silly an ep is supposed to be overall, but sh*t like that shouldn't be a throwaway.
Exactly. I know it was one way to show us the switch from Sarah to Brad, but it was just too broadly drawn. It irritated me. Although, the red shirt was funny.

Star Trek made me into a cold bitch when it comes to disposable crew members. While Pizza Dude was a cruel plot devise, the twinge to my conscience was brief.

they really could have upped the stakes by having appropriate reactions from everyone, but what followed basically told me not to worry, he was an expendable character who nobody cares about and wasn't actually a character in the universe of Eureka (and it kinda irked that they made sure that he was annoying enough for us to not care if he died. Chickens.)
eta prolly why I hate ST, SG-1 and SG:A

I had more to say, but... yeah.

The one flaw in an otherwise great episode has been pointed out. In a town as small as Eureka, why didn't they know his name? Ima go back to the good parts.
I loved Tag's hate/admiration for the NIMH mice from GD.

Before tonight, I really liked Eureka. Now, I am absolutely, totally in love with this show. Damn good episode.

loved the whole "Jo will save us" "She's not here" "We could blow [Sarah] up." "She's not here."
and Stark cuts Carter off from the beer, hee!

Eureka's another one of those shows you don't catch everything the first time around. I'm going to have to start taping, ahemming takes too long.

the reason that I love this show so much, and why when it drops the ball here and there it really bugs.
Eh. First season syndrome, my fingers are crossed for next!
I was just thinking, in the end, the thing that sent Carter into a sulk in the first place is still there, isn't it? He can't do his job a lot of the time because he keeps coming up against S5, either their free-pass or just that he doesn't have enough information to come to the right conclusion about what's actually going on.
