About Eureka - I love, love, love the scene at the end where Jack confronts Allison about "what's coming". That was perfect. I'm less crazy about Lexi's big reveal to Duncan - because just lifting the magic-techno baby-bump hiding shirt without a word of explanation about the material is unreal. Also, at this point, what are the chances that Duncan's two plus two comes up with five?
Yeah... That went well.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh me too, sj!

Yeah, an "I have something you should know: I'm pregnant and it's yours" and then to ensure that he doesn't think it's not possibly his, shirt flip. The whole avoidance thing was awful, although Fargo finding a friend was cool.

Also, didn't Eureka used to be hidden away. Like, you make a right turn into what appears to be a dead end and then you're whooshed through an invisible portal into Eureka? Am I misremembering? What ever happened to that?

'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"
The producers seem to have 'forgotten' about that on account of the SFX costing too much.
My hand-wave is that there's a regular "long" way to Eureka that gets marked on maps, but several hidden shortcuts that are protected with various disguises.
The science was awful this time, but I thought Carter's chemistry with Tess was good, and she's able to match him wisecrack to wisecrack amazingly well. Best chemistry yet, I think.

I think the town itself is remote and hard but not impossible to find - Carter stumbled on it accidentally by having a car accident (which I think the super-smart mutant dog caused on purpose), so when he and Zoe had to walk to the nearest town to find a mechanic, they walked into Eureka. It is the Global Dynamics compound that is actively hidden behind optical (hologram?) illusion.

Ahhh, thanks.

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

I didn't have any problem with any of the performances, but I thought the script and plot sucked from beginning to end, except perhaps for Fargo making a connection with another human being for the second week in a row, and the service done to the alien overarching plotline.
The science--oh, the idea that they had to ride in the elevator until someone hit the correct button made my eye roll muscles hurt. That whole thing was a pile of steaming stink. And the sister's hidden pregnancy subplot was a bunch of stupid too.

Thanks so much. I couldn't remember why people were able to come and visit Carter and Zoe.

I just realized that Daisy from Spaced is Joan Redfern from Doctor Who's "Human Nature" & "Family of Blood".
