Love Nathan finally telling Duke how to escape the mancrush. I had thought he was just being childish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Xena and Being Erica also did Groundhog Day episodes, and they were both pretty funny. It seems to be a really hard premise to screw up.

I feel morally certain that Eureka has done one, but my morning fog is too strong right now.

Yes, Eureka's was pretty good too--it's where we said goodbye to Stark.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree with your comments about Haven. I really loved it and I loved that Audrey wasn't all cupcakes and sunshine with her "boyfriend" at the end. The whole thing really hit me in all the right emotional places. It's like everyone (generally) was acting like an adult and handled their business okay with not a lot of jealousy bullshit.

I don't know that she's oblivious to Nathan's feelings, more that she's worried that the only reason that he wants her is that he can feel her. On the other hand, when his affliction was taken, he didn't go out and try to find someone else.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Audrey seems oblivious to Nathan's feelings because we as the audience is privy to Nathan's stoic pining, but it's probably not as clear-cut from Audrey's POV. Plus, Nathan's feelings for Audrey have got to be pretty complicated. She's his partner and friend, and he cares for her deeply and trusts her implicitly, but I reckon it's tough for him to tell apart if his feelings for her are truly romantic in nature or stem from the fact that he has been touch-starved for so long and she's his only reprieve. I think he's quite conscious about not trying not to lay any kind of emotional burden on her with this whole touching thing.
And Audrey knows how intimate even a casual touch can be to Nathan. She touches him rarely, especially since the reveal that he could feel her, and when she does, it always means something. Like that moment after he gives up his regained sense of touch for that girl who was seen as everyone's worst fear, or here, when she touches him to halt his protests for his own safety.
I ship them pretty hard, but I actually don't want this to become overtly romantic at any moment soon. There are lots more interesting things to explore about Audrey's ability and her presence in Haven before we get to "will they get it on?"

Fun Eureka, and glad to see Wallace Shawn (though I hated his ultimatum to Jack and Allison). And it looks like he's around another week, so who knows what wackiness will ensue.
Alphas - LOVED Summer Glau in that role, and there can't be any way that the kid's name wasn't a shout out, is there?
