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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
'Tis my understanding that bits will come back, though I have no idea if this is one of them.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Maybe that part of town wasn't there when they built it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Then there would've been no park or sundial back then, either. The town was already an established concern when Thatcher built the death ray. t Continues to wave hands...

Why not? The current Main street could be only 20 or so years old, but the park much older.
