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.

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.

I was worried it might be Vincent.

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

Yeah, they were.

Also, Henry just can't get a break.

Um, I love Jack, but I would KILL him for this.

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.

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.

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.

Hey--my recording of Teen Wolf ran short. It cut out after the reptile shifter (confirmed as Jackson?) ran away from the car after the touching bonding moment.

a) I don't know whose car that was--are we supposed to know from the bumper sticker, and b) anything else happen afterwards?

As far as Alison goes--they had her initially react to Jack's building a relationship/putting down roots motivation and metaphor, and I can't really see her reaction as anything not including a rejection of that. Taken in its entirety, that is. I don't know if another actress might have convinced me, or the writing was absolute. But I didn't get much nuance in Salli's countenance--Grace had much more.

And, damn. Henry liable for shit he didn't do. He's the one bearing most of the load from the time travel reset (I like that it didn't go away), and this...

While I had no sympathy for Carrie Bradshaw accepting an invitation to a country cabin and then proceeding to shriek at every sight of nature as if squirrels were the monsters from Aliens, I think someone who is clearly and vocally excited about a luxurious tropical resort honeymoon and then gets bait-and-switched with the cabin from The Evil Dead 10 miles from home has legitimate cause for griping. And any one of (1)collapsing floorboards, (2)plumbing spraying black slime, or (3) roof caving in would be a good reason to leave at once in my book.

As for Carter's "that's not me; this is me" BS, he lives in the house from the frickin' Jetsons. I do not recall an aversion to modern conveniences/luxury or an impulse to restore derelict wilderness retreats being an established part of his character to date.

ita, I don't know whose car it was. After the creature runs away, Lydia wanders out of the house and wants to know what is going on, and the rest of them realize the lizard creature wasn't her and was Jackson.
