Sure, but they were only introduced to the audience at the last minute.
No, they were the two guys who told Zoe that it was her fault her parents split.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

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

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I can see putting the weapon under the town square to make a point, but doesn't the theory of MAD require you to tell people you have a death ray?
Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you *keep* it a *secret*! Vhy didn't you tell the world, EH? t /Dr. Strangelove

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
No, they were the two guys who told Zoe that it was her fault her parents split.
Oh! You're right, they were. Ignore me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And I'm mildly irritated that nobody thought to ask Eugenia if she knew how to turn it off
Yeah, totally. Did we even hear that she was a scientist or involved in that sort of work at all? I don't think we did, did we? All we knew was that she was a crotchety old lady pining for her lost love.
I did like that the speech Thatcher gave included what we thought was just nonsensical babble. I don't like dementia issues being played for a joke.
Also, how irresponsible is this town with their technology, eh? Lots of "I have no clue about it but it has shiny buttons" going on.
Oh, and Eugenia/Jack kiss! Hee.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It would have been entertaining if they'd just wandered about the Home for Old Geniuses asking, "Do you remember the deathray? Do you know how to turn it off?"

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
The town has been there a lot longer than the weapon, right? Why would anyone, especially a bunch of folks who are really, really smart, put it right under Main Street?
Maybe that part of town wasn't there when they built it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

har. yes.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Even with all the hand-wavey bits, I still liked the ep. The woman who played Eugenia was wonderful; I hope she shows up occasionally in future eps, since she and the daughter had great chemistry together. And are we going to see bits of Thatcher's thoughts buzzing through Jack's for a while longer?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Oh, and i loved the kiss between Eugenia and Jack. Especially when Eugenia said "hush, Zoe" or whatever she said. It was a very sweet moment, there was a terrific expression on Colin's face right before Jack realized that he wasn't Thatcher

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It was certainly implied we would. I liked the "Did I say we again?"
But then, we've been getting mostly standalone, so I dunno that we'll see too much bleedover. Maybe an allusion or so.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I liked the way the kiss was filmed, too. Was it Colin in the flash-backy bit before we see that it's Jack in reality? It seemed like it might have been him in that particular young Thatcher blurry shot. If so, I like the representation of the twisted lines between Jack's identity and Thatcher's memories.
