Someone explain how being blind makes you incapable of villainy, unable to please your wife, and ok with infidelity. And seeing when necessary.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it rendered him innocent through inability to point the machine at things. As for the sensitive wounded man schtick, what about the whole "all my other sense are heightened" cliché, not to mention the delicacy of...well, maybe that's the problem! If he didn't have the tech augmentations he'd have braille reading fingers and his wife would never leave the house.
Very odd presentation of infidelity there, and the blindness didn't add a damned thing to the episode. Another example of stuff.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Good ep, although some details bugged.
I didn't get why Nathan sent the "anonymous" email to Allison. This is Eureka! Surely she'd figure out it was from him. Even if she didn't, he should have realized she'd immediately go and confront him about it. What was the point?

Oh! One detail I did like: The bit with Jo and the "finger".

It's the road to GD that is hidden.
Right! I remember her telling him to drive across a collapsed bridge, but remembered it as to get to the town. Thank you (I really should start watching my DVDs).

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
The second I heard Carter mention that his wife was a psychiatrist, I wanted Barlowe and Abby to have a shrink cat-fight. Abby can point out all the crackpot methods that Barlowe has been employing, up to and including the inability to say the word "death" out loud when dealing with a patient.
And I thought my confusion over the Stark/email thing was simply because I'd missed half the ep.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Skimming the W&P because I haven't seen the ep yet to say that since the new season started, this picture has been getting a bazillion more hits, including one email asking me if the photo is real and wanting to know "my story." Ack! Strangers!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Closing my eyes half-way since I haven't caught up on Eureka yet:
For those who are unscrupulous about this sort of thing, Pushing Daisies pilot has been leaked and is out there. Not that I have already watched it or anything. Nope. *cough*
