vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Ohh, the bit with the music was excellent.

Though, that ending was really quite good.

I liked it quite a bit. I'm anxious to hear Colin's thoughts.

Armegeddon with acne. Har.

So is Eureka the science equivalent of Hogwarts? Do they get budding genius kids to hone their mad (madMadMAD!!!) science skills?

Our wings are not tired.

Bwah! The music at the end was brilliant.

Awww. Of course this doesn't mean that Zoe's mom won't be back when they find out about Beverly. And Beverly is going to be quite annoyed that her toy is gone.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I had thought that Allison was starting to sound a bit like Beverly!

I think Abby is schizophrenic, bi-polar somethingorother. She seems like completely different characters in this ep and last ep. And from the beginning of this ep to the end of this ep. I'm not seeing development of her character, just... not so much with the word-having right now...

A little heavy handed with the cheese when half the town gathers round Carter's bedside, but still sweet.

also, loved that Henry had no qualms about searching Bev's place and calling to let her know. I wonder if there is going to be some awesome "I know you know I know" showdown.

I thought that had been established before?

did I miss it? It's entirely possible

Art Crawl!!!

I thought that the gayness of Vincent had been established in season 1 sometime.

I don't think it has been explicitly stated on the show that Vincent is gay, which I thought was nice. It's just been in my head that this is fact from one of the podcasts when I believe Cferg is talking about the casting of "the gay chef".

I just realized that Carter was the Fargo of this episode! Don't put the fiendish thingy on your face! Also, those blows on the head? OUCH! whack whack whackwhackwhack

One of my minor quibbles from last season was that for a town of geniuses of all stripes and colors, that sometimes the dialogue was generic and lacking in a wit I would have expected. But Abby wins the cake with her "You wanna piece of me?" That coulda been pulled off by a character more familiar with SARAH, but just seemed off/weak/lame coming from a newbie.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.

I'm adoring Stark so much more as bitchy freelancer than I did as semi-menacing boss. "Oookay. MRI it is!"

I liked the episode because of the reveals.

I love Jo's structure - how you actually don't know what's going on. I'm still confused by some of the editting this year - but I'll have to adjust.

But I liked the story. That's about it. It wasn't a "calamity of the week" but still a cool little story and I liked that.
