I paid more attention to the B and C plots. I thought Zoe and Jack were very sweet (and he was very lucky), and although I'm still anti Jo/Zane, I liked the trust she placed in him, and how they worked together.

Learning that Fargo is a figurehead explains *so* much.

The bit where Allison jacks up the experiment was very silly.

And the continued Jack+Jo bonding is great. Let's have a good friendship here.

But I do want to know more about suddenly married Henly. His new reality must be the hardest to muddle through, and yet we see so little of it.

I think you integrated yourself better into the flow of the story this time, CFerg.

Hey, CFerg. Good to see your fonts. Liked the delivery of the episode, though, like others, I didn't buy that Allison would do that, even as freaked out as she is about the change to Kevin.

Loved the Jack and Zoe bits. Loved.

Great directing job, CFerg!

Thanks guys!

Me neither on the Allison front. At all. Ever. Never liked it. But it was strange to see two very distinct camps from the writers:

one that said it's horrible parenting and she would never do it and the other that said they both would and have done similar.

I lost.....

I finished watching it and have no distance on it. They wrote it 11 minutes long so whole scenes had to go and a lot of connective tissue... that's what I miss. A lot of jokes went...

Todd gets the credit for the edit though. Fixing an episode that is THAT long is really tough and we both broke our hearts losing some stuff.

I do hope it worked all in all though.

I also cared most about the B and C plots - which annoyingly puts me in agreement with ita...

I wanted to do the Zane/Jo plot line a bit more justice than it had been done so far. So it pleased me to see why they were attracted to each other again - for me anyway.

... and of course I love me some Jordan....always will....

I hope it worked all in all though. An Invisible oxygen cloud and space rockets doesn't give a guy a lot to shoot....

which annoyingly puts me in agreement with ita

Oh, you know I'm right about this shit. Ain't no shame in admitting that.

The idea of a tech-enabled helicopter parent is quite terrifying. No doubt Eureka would have some, but does it have to be one of our leads? No way is that sympathetic behaviour, even if she is adjusting from him being autistic.

If you have to do Jo/Zane again, maybe it can be done right this time. He doesn't have to be quite the dismissive ass he was last season.

Bummed that Jordan's show didn't work out, but really great to see the father/daughter pair back.

I should also say, that all I get to do is a director's edit.

The show is then passed off to the producers and to the network and they both have their way with it.

So the show that airs doesn't really resemble the show I shot in some places. How a second more here and there radically changes the mood of a character or scene.

Or how someone not liking something completely changes some poor actor's performance.

...it's a disclaimer.... but it's also true....

Deleted scenes on the DVDs perhaps? One can hope, at least.

I like this Jo/Zane better than the previous version - my objection was always to how they got together (being a pushy asshole is not an attractive seduction method!) so seeing her be the pursuer works better for me.

(Of course, her attraction to this Zane is based on her memories of the old one, so in the end it's still the same story, but I'm willing to be persuaded.)

Henry - "the problem of the hotel room"? Has he been faking a headache since they got back, or sleeping at his office? DUDE YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR WIFE YOU DON'T KNOW HER.

CFerg, I think Carter is one of the great TV parents. I'm so glad it worked out that Zoe could feature in an episode, because the emotional relationship is so important to Carter that it just shoudln't have disappeared from the season entirely!

I'm afraid I'm in the camp that finds Allison's action out of character. I'll wave my hands and consider it in light of the emotional stress of the alternate timeline switching, but only because the show has earned a lot of my fondness. :-)

Loved the invisible cat... I have an all-too-visible cat who gets into a whole lot of trouble, and if there was a spray can of Match Mist around, you know she'd somehow trigger it.

Just what the world needs... stealth cats.
