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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Victor, we stayed up and caught the midnight showing too. Was that head banging thing new or part of the Whoverse?
Well, it was a novel delivery system, but basically, he's done basically the same thing before. For instance with Reinette in "The Girl in the Fireplace."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The trajectory for the season of Eureka that makes a lot of sense to me is that things do ultimately go back to "normal", if only because we have to get Baltar back then to found the town.
What this does, then, is allow exploration of...stuff: Fargo/Jo, Possible Fargo competence, Carter/Tess, Henry/Whatshername
Fargo/Jo would have interesting implications back in the original timeline. I fear that sending Baltar back would give Allison a City on the Edge of Forever-type moment if they go forward with that ship. What I fear is that living in this 'verse (with whatever her role is) is a path to get her to quit her job at GD and "focus on her family" or some nonsense like that (not that it's not a valid life choice for real people. It'd just be kind of a crap move for the character). I will be interested to see how Shroedinger's Relationship (Carter/Tess) plays out.
But it seems like the real pay-off would be taking the lessons from this universe into the original one. I just don't see them letting Fargo stay the head of GD "forever" (yes, I mean those as quotation marks, not italics).

Oh my God.
I just watched such_heights' vid for little Amelia(note: spoilers through the finale) and I JUST got the connection between the finale and "Vincent and the Doctor".
That connection?
" Starry Night "

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Coming to the conversation late, but I really liked "Eureka" although I'm not sure I feel about how everything will play out. I dislike Tess something fierce and am now very surprised to find myself rooting for Carter/Allison. They've built up some real chemistry over the years.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Whereas I actually like Tess and I'm a bit tired of the endless will-they-won't-they of Jack and Allison. I feel like they missed that bus, and it's a disservice to both characters to keep bringing it back around.
However Burrell, I think the showrunners are with you, so. ::shrugs::

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Due to my injuries, I ended up spending almost the entire weekend getting caught up on old Who. I finished season one and then watched all of season two. "Doomsday" (season 2 finale) broke me. I'm such a sucker for a good unrequited love story. I mean, how many people can't be with the one they love because if they were, two universes would be destroyed?

I do think it's piss-or-get-off-the-pot time when it comes to those two, and since most shows blow it big time when it comes to the lead's love life, I don't have high hopes. But trust me, I was SO happy the first time around when Allison chose Stark because they were better suited for each other. But I REALLY dislike Tess.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I really enjoyed that Who but I need to re-watch it since I was distracted with some stuff -- it felt like CRAXED amounts of handwavium.
