I thought Beverly was just going for some kind of meeting and that she'd be back. Even though it looked like she took a stack of passports and stuff, she left whatever that thing was that she took from Kim's lab. It made me think she'd be coming back.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

I note that we saw Zoe in next week's preview, so perhaps she'll be visiting, or deciding not to go, or running away from her mom for the ::koff:: safe haven of Eureka.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee to the mass ST:TNG x-post. Yeah, we're geeks.
And I was the third one intending to tag the "awkward moments" line. Good ep, although some details bugged. Still liking the continual dynamic shifts, and *loved* the Dr., Dr. moment. And how uncomfortable that is.
'Cause Abby clearly would fit right in to Eureka, even though Jack was a complete outsider. It's good, because we have her for an outsider viewpoint to explain things like the clones to the new viewers, but as far as social interaction goes, it would be just priceless for her to decide to stay and integrate really smoothly, with Jack still feeling alienated.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
How the hell did Abby get into Eureka since the entrance is hidden?
I don't think the town is hidden, just remote. It's the road to GD that is hidden.

So if Jack has a thing for brunettes how did he end up with Abby?

I wondered how she got there too -- but then, didn't Zoe get sent home and runaway only to arrive back in Eureka via bus? So, it's not completely cut off.

ION, based purely on promos I think we're going to get a night of Torchwood/Doctor Who on BBCA come September.

I think Jack's thing for brunettes was just a flirty thing to say. (As in, he's open to all hair colors. Though I do recall he wasn't fond of bright red.)
Also, I just rewatched last week's ep. I really enjoy the Jack and Nathan Show.

Oh, an actual full-fledged Torchwood promo on BBCA.
BTW, Comcast On Demand has the first episode of Jekyll up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't like this episode. I think there were too many things going on--the A plot, the B plot of Zoe and her mother, the KD201 thing, the Henry wants revenge thing, the Beverly has to bolt thing, the Lupo wants a promotion thing.
I also didn't get enough of a sense of doom early enough. It felt like a curiosity at most until 3/4 the way through.
Colin! Did you do a lot of looping on this ep? Some of your lines didn't feel like they had a presence in the space, if that makes any sense. And your reaction shots looked a little off in the first quarter--but I liked your Zoe and this is where you have chemistry with Alison, and I find it not just more convincing than before but more affecting.
