Eureka: I can handwave the sappy Xmas magical bits, but one thing made no sense. What kind of Secret Santa exchange is it where one person buys all the gifts? Talk about drawing the short straw!
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

I knew it was airing but lost track of time, and so am grinding my teeth through this awful W13 special in order to get to it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good god, this is incredibly sappy.
So far, Doctor Who is still winning the Christmas special race.
Yes, it is a race.

I honestly don't mean to be non-politically incorrect, but I know Saul Rubinek and Judd Hirsch are not Christian. Are their characters? And if they aren't, why are they celebrating Christmas? Why does TV force all characters everywhere to join around the Christmas tree and hand out candy canes and presents?

They sounded so Yiddish under the Christmas music and it made me raise my eyebrows. Hanukah not good enough?

Some Jews do celebrate a secular version of Christmas, cause trees, carols and Santa are fun.

Huh. So Carter is telling a tale set in this timeline that he didn't actually experience.

All is well that ends in pizza.
At the end I got the impression that he was telling the tale of the current year, but that can't be right.
Or is this some future year with him telling the current year. or is it just a good story for the kids.
I may have to rewatch.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm OK with it either way. There are enough timey-wimey handwavey timeline stuff going on in the Eureka- verse that it may be enough to sit back and enjoy the show.
Plus, we got back Matt Frewer for a fun visit, so my Xmas gift is complete.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My Jewish father's family always did the tree and presents thing.
