I take back anything bad I ever said about Martha.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I do think they missed a great opportunity in "The Sound of Drums" to have the Master make that threat about aging the Doctor 100 years, zap him, and then when Tennant got very slightly gray and developed a crow's foot or two, yell about getting too used to killing humans with their short lifespans. Also, stopping short of that extreme would have spared us the extreme fakeness of the aging prosthetics and, perhaps, Tinkerbell!Doctor as well.
I did love the Flash Gordon coda for the Master. It's almost as if RTD knew it would be airing after SciFi's pathetic retread and was saying "THIS is what a merciless villain is like!"

I'm also very sorry that Suzi Costello got killed off, though - I thought she was very good.
Indira Varma had a part in Rome and is now starring in The Whistleblowers, which is getting quite good reviews.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, I'm sad that they cut the part where Martha looks up that nice and pretty doctor who helped her.

Holy carp, that Pushing Daisies comic is both hilarious and really seriously gross. I hope they go there a little with the show - that was awsome!

Minor tangent...anyone know why CFerg's other podcasts for S2 have not been posted on either iTunes of SF? I'm feeling the need for a Eureka S2 marathon and would love to have more insight into some of the choices made.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
So I finally finished the Eureka finale, although like others, my Tivo cut off the last several minutes--thanks for the data on that, folks.
Um...
I'm kind of displeased. Did we really just go through all of that because the characters wouldn't talk to one another?
Also, wtf is it with Allison punching out Beverly, when there were some perfectly useful chairs available?
I'm relieved that Henry was not the Evil Mastermind he was pretending to be--and yet I'm still unhappy about this, because he's my favorite character and he's certainly smart enough to talk to Allison and Stark and explain what was going on with Kevin and the Acacian Field (or whatever). Even if they are "freezing him out" (WTF? Is this high school?)
In sum, the plot made no sense. And Allison ... well, the less said about her the better: she was unbelievably passive for someone whose child was about to be taken from her. It was nice to see Matt Frewer again, though, and the Princess Bride quotes were cute. Larry loses points by not checking the "land war in Asia" line, though.
I dunno, man. Last year's finale was so good, and this... eh. Certainly we got a cliffhanger, but the character content seemed kind of knocked together and inconsistent to me. Of course, this may be a result of me watching the episode in pieces over the course of a couple of days...
(And no, I still haven't seen BW or PD yet! Or last night's SGA!)

Yes, yes we did.

Not that I can bring myself to watch the finale again, but I don't think it will get better for you with a proper straight-through viewing.
I'm gonna go have a marathon viewing of Solaris, The Fountain, Contact and Frequency to make myself feel better about this season. And if that fails, maybe Jim and Jack will lend a hand. (No, Eureka hasn't driven me to alcoholism, this is a pre-existing condition).
