Eureka: The other issue I'm starting to have is why GD can't ever clean up its own messes. Lots of the stuff that Carter gets hauled in for seems more internal than criminal. And I guess it's just a company town, huh? Nothing else ever happens outside of it?

I didn't altogether mind the Finn/Megan thing. With Megan's apparent default state of bitchiness, I don't think it was altogether unwarranted, and Finn certainly knows what an exceptional kid is capable of doing.

yeah, what's the deal with the GD Security force? Is Carter the head of it, because he certainly orders them around enough? or is it Alison who's given him that authority?

If the Sheriff's car gets impaled, I think he gets to claim jurisdiction.

Tell me about it. We frequently have to remind the powers that be that it's less dumb vs. smart and more academic (or institutional) vs. legal... or the good version of that comparison.

I think if the characters are smart in different ways it makes for more compelling problems. I fear I take a bit of hit on that front ths year.

I think this ep was bad for it though.

It is not uncommon for people brilliant in different ways to not appreciate each other's talents. I think this is a theme that can work. I'm just feeling a bit defensive for poor Carter. He's bringing out my mamabear instincts.

Dang it, I have gotta stay out of this thread until I actually watch the episode. This is about the fourth time today I have landed in here and almost got spoiled. Sorry, CFerg, we have it recorded, but with our work schedules, it's impossible to watch with the rest of the nation.

Joe Flanigan is apparently trying to break all cuteness records:

I think this gives David Hewlett, his dog, and an inflatable Dalek a run for its money.

If someone were to take a picture of them standing around while the dogs frolic together, the world might actually implode.

I know! I'm all traumatized about SARAH.

I did notice that she said "See you at home" as she "died" so I'm assuming she was relaying the relevant bits of data of her excursion out and about back to the bunker in real time.

Daniel, I thought something similar - that she wasn't really dead. I hope that they fix the car!
