You know how, in your dreams, you idealize yourself. Zoe probably wasn't just embarrassed about seeing her dad naked, she was probably also traumatized by his enormous schlong.

Though, wasn't Carter having an "I'm embarassed because I'm naked in public" dream? Would that be idealized?

(Then again, Allison dropped her coffee...)

And her gaze did linger.

But I'm hoping that BT will be having a second season - anyone know the sitch?

I think I heard that it has been renewed.

He's a guy. Also, since he didn't realize that he was naked until Alison dropped her coffee, it was probably idealized, and then maybe would have shrunk.

I wanted to ask cferg how cold the "decontamination" shower was. From his reaction/acting it looked very cold. Brrr.

I wonder if Eureka's decontam booth also blow dries? I keep thinking of the hospital lifts on New New Earth in Dr. Who.

The powder after the blow-dry was a nice touch too.

As for Jo's dream, maybe it was as much about her subconscious need to explore other facets of her femininity - for which the passive object of desire was a symbol. Perhaps that side of Jo has been squashed so that it feels as though it is passive and powerless. Jo isn't shown as having any close female friends, yet she has been pretty responsive to Zoe's need for nurture. Jo is no Persephone, she is more of an Athena. But perhaps there is a bit of Cybele that needs to come out. Growing up in a house full of men, she would not have learned how to express that part of herself.

I find it interesting that of all the men who interact with Jo, with various levels of intimacy, Jack is the one who sees both aspects of her. Not only sees, but openly encourages her to be herself. Very interesting.

I love the dynamic between Jack and Jo. It's not quite reached the level of friendship that Mal and Zoe displayed (which makes sense because they haven't had the time together that M&Z had), but it could get there with time.

It's brilliant. What TPTB taketh with one hand (the too-forced shipping of Allison and Jack), they giveth with the other (the excellent, healthy, beautiful non-shippiness of Jack's friendship with Jo). I wonder what the world would be like if every tv show had something like this. I get so sick of silly sit-coms where the fathers have the emotional intelligence of fried squid, where mothers have to parent their own kids and their husbands as well, and where women and men have very little actual respect for each other (no matter how much lip service they pay to the idea).

Wrod with a heaping helping of wrod sauce.

Michael Shanks is going to be in what is sure to be a classic Scifi film Mega Snake.

Hee. Shanks, you're such an ass.
