I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

On the other hand, my meteorology PhD friend is probably pumping his fist and yelling because you don't get to see many evil weathermen in science fiction. It's the physicists who get all the fun....

(Plus, Zoe's underage, so shouldn't they have some kind of custody agreement? Not just, "hey, I'm taking her now.")
they probably have a custody agreement, but it's based on Jack being in LA. Abby probably agreed to change it, but could ask the court to enforce the original agreement.

he wasn't really evil though, was he? more of a glory hound.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
but the personal problems completely overwhelmed the admittedly lame main story
I think if the weather plot hadn't been so convoluted (we really didn't need Monkey Guy who was sleeping with the whole town -- would have been easier to just introduce Not!Zelenka as a guy with a weather machine), the main cast's personal problems could have been given more attention and it would have made for a tighter ep. As it was, I still really liked it, but wow, crowded!

Finally got a chance to watch Eureka uninterupted, and something that I missed the first time, but thought was absolutely brilliant and way too short, was Henry translating what not!Zelenka was saying for Carter.
And the final scene with the wind and the button was priceless. I don't know how that sucked (or rocked) to walk into a wind machine, but that was pure gold.
Abby, next time your daughter has a birthday party, put the boobies away. IJS.
I guess Stark is still obfuscating about whether he knew Kevin was in the room when the Artifact blew, which, potentially annoying. Is it just for the storytelling ambiguity, or will we find out that Stark's under some kung-fu-grip security clearance regarding Kevin that even surpasses that of the director of GD?

Kix is for kids.
What the heck is going on with Allison and Henry? All I can guess is that Henry confided his suspicions of Beverly to Allison. She certainly seemed to be personally invested in getting Henry access to Kim's files and projects, but why? I know Bev betrayed Allison's trust last season, albeit "under the influence", but her brusque manner with her and the powerplay in her office with the "if you won't, then I will" and then not dismissing her as she made the call, seemed beyond that.
And if that's so, I'm so happy that Henry alerted someone else to Beverly's suspicious behavior.
And I can't believe Abby is pulling her kid out of school in the middle of the school year. Seriously? Seriously.

All is well that ends in pizza.
For a psychologist, Abby isn't the most grounded human being.

Especially because I get the feeling that Zoe is doing better in her schoolwork than before -- it also strikes me that Zoe is really fitting in with the kids of Eureka in a very good way.
Incidentally, I want to say, if I EVER get a chance to stand up in front of a wind machine, I'm going to do it. It looks like an experience!

The windmachines are just for effect...sadly... it's really a stunt guy holding a long rope that's tied around my waist through a cut in my sheriff's shirt. He let's me get a bit ahead and then rips me over backwards. For the most part he digs in and I pull him through the mud by clawing at the ground and struggling and then they remove the "wire" in post. But with the wind and rain pelting away it's very cold and tiring.
It's one of my favorite things.
And I'm with you - as were we all - while shooting the thing. We were very vocal because we were timing out at 54 minutes from day 1 which means 25% of what we were about to shoot wouldn't make the screen. We kept hearing "we have a plan, we have a plan".... they didn't really. I feel responsible for not taking greater action sooner.
But ultimately it was good because there was a good sitdown talk after it was done and some protections were put in place.
I'm curious what you guys think about next week though. I love the story and hope that we did it justice in the telling.

So...Eureka is being produced by Cylons?
