I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Beverly subplot was a bit moustache-twirly for me. I also like knowing more about how and what the bad guys are doing, and having the suspense be about if they succeed or not, not about what they want and who they are.
He would have to be creating little rifts in the timeline all the time.
It's a good thing they have months to sift their options on what the ramifications are. I think a fading memory works well, or the fact that whatever Henry didn't get to do now kinda renders most of Jack's memories moot.

So what happened to Nathan in the accident? He was only standing a few feet away from Kim, and she was fried to a crisp and fused to a piece of metal.

Grievously injured, but with Eureka-tech they were able to fix everything but his hair follicles.

I'm sad that Kim is dead and that we didn't get more episodes with her when she was alive.
I too wish we could have had more episodes with Kim. I had high hopes of seeing her in Season 2. On the other hand... it is SciFi... and we've already had people come back from the dead once. And considering they have a form to undead someone, it must happen at least with some regularity.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I hope Carter does get to keep his memories, because having 4 more years of experience in Eureka than anyone knows about would make for some really interesting dynamics, especially since some of what he thinks he knows about people may not apply in the current timeline. (Too much of that could get old fast, and would confuse the hell out of new viewers, but it's too twisted a setup not to play with.)

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
The first thing I noticed about the episode is that SARAH's voice changed in the future. That made me laugh.
So what happened to Nathan in the accident?
My handwave is that she was directly in front of the tube, so it was a directed blast and he just got singed.
He was alive in the alternate timeline, but that was when Henry was able to stop the explosion (I assume) to save Kim. Stark could be seriously injured, but that seems problematic since Allison was in a chipper, flirty mood at the end.
Thing is, Henry maneuvered for Stark's position after Stark got Kim blown up so Henry would have access to the thingy. What's to stop him from doing it again, but this time going back and kidnapping Kim the day before or something? Does Stark get fired again for cutting corners? If not, why not?
Yay for getting a season 2!

Oh, how I wished it had been SMG's voice.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I missed the voice change, but I don't recognize voices very well. It took me 3 or 4 episodes to even be able to tell that SARAH's voice was Fargo's. Damn, I should have taped last night.
