It is distracting to see her in that role.

So, finally watched this week's Eureka.
Was it just me, or was that... not very good? I mean, totally watch-from-the-hall humiliation for Carter, awkward characterizations of several other characters (particularly Finn) (although Jo looked awesome in her black SWAT getup), and just clunky writing all around.
I loved Aillean's line about the geese-shaped anvils. Oy.
May next week be better!

I missed this weeks Eureka. Do they stream the last episode on-line for those who missed it?

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
It was an okay episode, but not their finest moment. The gym scene was the worst for me, I ended up fast forwarding. Particularly because it seemed out of character for Carter. I can buy him being hideously awkward at trying to flirt with Allison in the coffeeshop, some people just aren't very good with that, but I just fail to believe that he got to fortyish as a US Marshall without having a clue what to wear and how to behave in a gym.

That was my point but no one seemed interestd in my logic. So once they insisted on a 40 year old Marshall not knowing what to do in a gym, we took it to absurd because then at least it didn't count. And the more absurd we could make it, the better... which might be faulty logic but it seemed good at the time.
This ep was a call to arms for the cast. And we fought to get stuff like that out of the eps for the rest of the season. This was the ep where we realized we were going to have to pay attention.

Perhaps I should be thankful that I missed this week's episode?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had such high hopes too, based on the promo -- high school science fair gone awry seemed like such a BtVS S1 kind of premise, how could it fail to be awesome? But the writing for Carter and Allison was just so off. Very weird.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Perhaps I should be thankful that I missed this week's episode?Meh. Given that there were some seriously cringe-inducingly embarrassing scenes (possibly made worse because we know and like CFerg), I would say that a bad ep. of Eureka is still better than a good ep. of most other shows. There were still some moments that displayed the characteristic charm. And Colin, thanks for putting in the effort to fight for the show and the characters - it's worth it.
