I'm waiting for Derek's minions to grow handlebar mustaches and start wearing swirly black capes. The only thing lacking is a steady refrain of "Bwah hah hah!"
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

From the post it sounds like a Korra cosplayer ran into someone at a con who dressed their dog up as Naga.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Poor Henry.
Poor Holly.
Poor Fargo.
I was worried it might be Vincent.

Um, I love Jack, but I would KILL him for this
Yeah, this is the 2nd episode where character was sacrificed to plot. I totally don't see Allison getting short tempered cold feet in the way she did in the aquatic episode. I don't see Jack being stupid enough not to consult Allison on honeymoon plans. Nor dong the whole "Me no need engineers. Me dig cave personally" thing. Nor do I see Allison going back to the cabin. Allison has been a fairly well rounded character for most of the series. But lately they've bounced her character around from spoiled, selfish and vicious to jellyfish. I don't believe either extreme. And Jack has NOT been portrayed as stupid and insensitive for the most part. This cabin honeymoon without consultation was both, and it does not fit.

Compassionately intolerant
The gentlemen speak my mind. I really didn't like this episode of Eureka for making multiple characters suffer personality transplants that made no sense. It makes me worry that the swan song will be unsatisfying.

They were definitely red-herring-ing on that one hardcore.

Oh yeah. I could see Zane pulling a stunt like that (not a decrepit cabin retreat specifically, but some cool thing of zero appeal to Jo without consulting her about it), but Jack is nominally aware that marriage is actually an equal partnership. Surprising the new Mrs. with a honeymoon that's 180° from her interests and tastes is an idiot move.
Then again, he did perform brain surgery on himself not that many weeks ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Usually I don't think a gift should force you into the position of making the person that gave it you happy, but in this scenario I'm not sure if I'm to feel that Alison would never go to a cabin ever, how dare you think that, Jack! or Alison, you know he has a concrete constructive motivation to do this. He obviously didn't consider everything, but he considered a lot, and the bouncing back and force on whether she's to take the spirit of it as more important than the actuality...
Let's just say, I wasn't sympathetic to Alison's reactions. I thought she could have not liked it differently.
It's really distinctly possible I'm bringing my own baggage to this. Colin needs to play a bad guy more often to give me more distance.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I haven't been feeling sympathetic to Jack or Alison lately, and am mostly in this show for Fargo and Holly right now.
In this specific scenario, I have feelings about cabins that make it hard for me to be objective, and Alison at least could have tried to have fun. Once the roof fell in on the bed, they should have checked into a hotel for the night. But up until that point all her "ew, REAL DIRT" shtick was irritating the shit out of me.
