Still, I thought it well executed, and it's the first time I bought Allison with either Stark or Carter. But I severely still don't want her with Jack.
Totally agree.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Right. I want Jack with Stark ;)
And now we have Lexie.
I really dislike that actress. She is always annoying. I can't figure out if it's the characters she plays or something about her mannerisms or way of speaking.

Wait, is the third season of Eureka going to be subtitled "The Search for Stark"?
I hope they leave him dead, at least for a while, and if they feel the need to cheat the viewers they bring him back as a cliffhanger at the end of the season or not at all.
It IS possible he has a twin brother or something, so the actor, who is certainly very nice on the show, may come back. Or he could be an AI projection or something- it would be better than bringing him back through resurrection.
If it's next week hes all fine and dandy, I am not going to be a happy camper.

They do have a precedent for people slowly disintegrating on camera and turning out to have actually been safely sent elsewhere.

We actually did briefly have an Army of Starks in one episode...

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

But what about an army of starkers Starks?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Holy crap!
Well, okay, my bad for being a little spoiler floozie, but - holy crap!
...er, yes. What I was going to say was: "Awesome Doctor Who vid, Vonnie! Thanks so much for the link!"
What I'm mostly now saying, though, is: "Holy Crap!"

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
This morning, I'm leaning toward Stark coming back.
This was me as well, Cindy. Rewatched bits and pieces this morning and Allison's repetition of "Everything will turn out the way it's supposed to" and Stark's confidence (despite the almost-tears and "take care of my girl after I'm dead" speech) and his "See you later, Jack" left me with more hope that there is an out.
I almost wish that they'd held the moment where we realize Stark is frozen just a few seconds longer before he started turning into fairy dust. Just enough to make us think "Oh god, he's going to stay forever stuck there while the world moves on around him."
I do love that Allison was confident enough in her love for Stark to not feel threatened by Carter. She was just so happy. I've seen too many other shows/movies where the bliss is ruined by worry and second-thoughts or anger when another suitor makes a claim.

I thought that for a minute. Actually, it would have been an interesting way to go.

Cindy!
Even after all this, I still do not see any Allison-Jack chemistry.
Since Stark was dealing with timey-whimey stuff, I suspect he'll show up again.
We do not need the New Age sister. Eureka has quite enough characters to begin with.
Maybe with less Nathan-Jack, we'll get more Henry-Jack. Now *they* have chemistry.
I have now seen the upside of the Degree product placement: More shirtlessness.
