I pointed out to the boys that good kids lie to protect their parents' feelings.
I'm looking forward to rewatch since I missed the gym outfit.

Ouch, definitely watch-from-the-hallway painful/awkward/embarrassing. Not the most enjoyable ep in places.
Okay, I've been loving Allison and Stark, but them teaming up on Carter in their disinterest doesn't thrill me. If Allison is turning a cold shoulder to him because she finds that warming back up to Stark requires her to sever her ties, then fine, but I'd like to see that she's actually forcing herself to not be familiar and flirty and concerned with him, instead of this on/off switch she's got going on ep to ep. I think her name was also Heather tonight.

nobody gets to pick on Carter! Nobody!

Well, Stark picking on Carter works for me.
It was nice to have some interaction with other people that live in Eureka.

Who played Finn? He looked very familiar but not enough that I could think of who he was.

Well, okay, point Laura. Stark can pick on him.
Also, based on Carter's gym clothes, I guess he hasn't been to one since the 80's.

The geese-as-children thing was REALLY heavy-handed. I didn't know they made geese-shaped anvils.
Allison's characterization is weird, compared to what I remember last season.
Colin? Still funny.
Shorts? I hope they were ritualistically burned at the end of filming.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'm glad that I read this before I watched the episode, so that I had my finger on fast forward to get past the shorts quickly. I'm just getting irritated at the "Carter is dumb/Carter out-thinks the scientists" plotlines. It's what I think of as the Watson problem. Watson is Everyman, and he has to be portrayed as reasonably intelligent for Holmes to look like a genius. Also, they're criminally underusing Matt Frewer.
Colin is still doing an admirable job of playing the character the scriptwriters are giving him. I just wish the writers were doing as good a job. It does seem unlikely that the actors were able to film the gym scene without a few rounds of breaking into helpless laughter.
eta: This sounds crabbier than I meant it to be. I blame my headache or possibly an errant magnetic quantum field thingy.

Yes. This.
On second viewing, I enjoyed the episode much more. It also gave me a chance to see Carter exit the elevator again with the immobilization field. Ha! The relationships and interactions are the gold of this series.
I was kind kind of sad for SARAH car. She should totally get to see the ocean.
