Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Seriously? I would have to stop watching the show. I gave up on the episode last night, and I really like _Eureka_. He was the sort of creepy, sleazy, sexually harassing character that revolts me in real life and isn't the slightest bit amusing even on the screen.
I would have hated him in real life. I found him entertaining on my screen. Besides, they showed us why he was like he was, to some extent.
And even though it's counter to the show's standard, I'd love to see an ep someday where someone other than Carter is the only one immune to the MOTW that incapacitates the town.
He wasn't immune to the dream sharing, and there was the episode where he was stuck in that virtual therapy thingamabob.
but I'd have loved to see Carter and Stark trying to beat each other at foosball while Zoe and Jo run around trying to fix things.
Oh, yeah. Or perhaps basketball. That may just be me.
Because you can be plenty smart and still watch "Dexter's Laboratory."
Yeah, although I really enjoyed that Henry was watching wrestling, not because I'm pigeon-holing wrestling fans, but because it disturbs my sense of order that the Sci-Fi Channel airs wrestling, particularly after
Eureka.
Put it on after that Superhero wannabe show, and maybe I'll enjoy the subtext (even if I never, ever watch wrestling).
(Though her dress really was lovely.)
Yes, I coveted it.
or that Carter gave him the inside scoop on how to woo her.
That pinged me too. Giving inside information about a friend's interests to another longtime friend that you can vouch for is one thing, but some jackass guy off the street that you had in jail not too many hours ago? Beyond the pale.
That didn't ping me a bit, because by then Carter had come to like him, and knew that Jo was at least a little twitterpated by him.
Allison almost redeemed herself when she said "I feel like I'm losing myself" and was actually upset about what was happening to her.
I remember thinking that, too. When Carter was so tender with and protective of her, it made me all melty. I suspect CFerg has the BBOC factor in spades, though.
Ripper casting rumors - no doubt unreliable.
The fact that they're talking about Josh Whedon's
Ripper
does not inspire credulity in me.
He was the sort of creepy, sleazy, sexually harassing character that revolts me in real life and isn't the slightest bit amusing even on the screen.
This. And I don't feel that he was given enough justification for his behavior. But maybe that's because I don't think there's any justification for that kind of behavior. The cocky attitude I can see coming with the geniusness and the digust with the world, but the way he was around Jo just squicked me. And making Jo responsive to any guy who shows interest in her irks me. Not saying it's out of character, just irksome.
I like Stark and Allison together better than Jack and Allison.
hells yes.
Now that they're not forcing the Jack/Allison, I just don't see it. There's not even angst anymore. Which, "Go, Carter!" I'd like to see Carter have some happy surprise come along. It doesn't have to last, but can't he go out on a casual date with the nice vet lady doctor? She was just delightfully distracted and a tad flaky which I found very endearing and realistic.
Because you can be plenty smart and still watch "Dexter's Laboratory."
Well, Dexter's Lab can be enjoyed by everyone...
I kind of thought Jo saw right through his blithering façade. Enough that she let her guard down and talked shop with him on the bracelets.
Maybe she walked by Café Deum and just smelled the chicken.
Is this guy going to be a regular. If so, I suspect that they added this character to skew the demographic younger?
Jumping the shark with a Cousin Oliver before the second season is even over? God, I hope not!
I thought it was funny, after finding out it was the chicken that made everyone dumb, that their response to "How are you feeling?" was uniformly "Hungry!"
Bad cloned chicken. Not only does it make you dumb, it also doesn't fill you up. (Okay, so maybe it was the next day, still. Funny.)
I really liked the vet--I think she's been on some of the Stargates. She's not Samantha Mulder, though. I think she might have been a scientist on a season 1 episode of SGA, though--the one where Carson got to work closely with her.
I admit to never being all that interested in Jack/Alison, and liking Stark/Alison a great deal the way it's being played, despite the queasy-making nature of Stark's involvement with her son. Whose name I've forgotten.
Jack went over the top with the protective fatherhood a little, but then Zoe should have known better than to leap right into a weekend at the lake house.
I do wonder about the legal controls in Eureka, though: the zapping with the bracelet was really beyond the pale for treatment of a prisoner who is not in immediate risk of escape.

I liked the vet, and I think she and Jack had chemistry - they should bring her back! She played the doctor that Beckett fell for on MumblePlanet with the plague or somesuch. She was also on Another World many moons ago, I think.
I just don't see Jack and Allison. I completely see Stark and Allison (swear to god, I started to write Jack and Stark). But my most favoritest thing ever is the Jack and Stark Show.
ETA: Hee! That was totally an x-post, Consuela.
