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.

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?"

har. yes.

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?

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

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.

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.

My biggest problem with the ep was not enough Jo (again), though the scenes she was in were fun.

'Tis my understanding that bits will come back, though I have no idea if this is one of them.

Possible Stargate tv movies.

I LOVED the Jack/Eugenia kiss, especially for that blissed-out expression on Jack's face before he realized what was going on. It a very aww! moment. Plus, the actress who played Eugenia was just terrific.

I handwaved like mad for the rest of the bit and the suspenders of my disbelief totally snapped 10 minutes into the show, but I find I don't care that much about wacky science on this show, since it's not really meant to be taken seriously.

I loved the Power Walk of the old geniuses going into their forgotten lab to kick some physics butt one last time.

I do wonder what Eugenia was doing there, though. Her talk of him explaining the stars and planets to her didn't make me think she was a Eureka-level genius, but she came into the lab with the guys like she'd been part of the "crew." Hand-wavey, whatever - I like Eugenia. Love to see her again.

(I think Jack has better chemistry with Eugenia than Allison.)
