Why did Zoe kiss her gay friend on the mouth like that?

... I mean, I realize other things happened in the show, but that was what struck me most. Sorry, young actor!

...wait, Poochie is Zane, right?

I blame the head trauma. No one can prove that I don't have head trauma.

Err, if I could ask a favor, what was the stuff leading up to the birth in the episode it happened in? Was it also the stuff about the shower (and the water)?

Because my DVR caught the tail end of what I guess was the last episode, and then there were the references to the birth in the previews and the beginning of this week's, and I don't REMEMBER the birth happening! I know I sometimes watch Eureka after I get home late on a Friday (and usually immediately delete it after watching), so I can be a bit toasted when I watch it, but I usually remember the big details.

I don't REMEMBER the birth happening!

So incredibly ironic. the episode was about people in Eureka forgetting things because they'd used this machine that "sees" their memories and stores them in a database. Fargo worried that there would be memories of him doing stupid shit, so he tried to erase the bad memories from the database, but ended up erasing people's memories.

Why did the actress playing Allison leave Eureka? I thought she really had a baby, but maybe not.

Why did you think not? Yes, she was really pregnant--she was 8 months along when she filmed the birth scene.

Was it also the stuff about the shower (and the water)?

That was, I think, the episode before. Last episode was the clip episode in which she gave birth. She got trapped in GD with Carter and Zoe and it was being cleaned and they were going to die and whatsername saved them with Fargo at the last minute, but the big problem (amnesia which stopped Allison getting them out herself) was Fargo's fault anyway.

Can someone tell me a couple things:

What was the time frame of this episode? How could so much of it appear to be on Tess's first day if Zane needs to apologise to Taggart for his behaviour of weeks?

Did everyone who didn't get into the fridge die? Otherwise why would we care about the fridge so much? I mean, the ice age was enough that they needed a dogsled to get into town, but only Cafe Diem needed someone to open their tube system to vent fungicide?

I'm totally missing scope and timing here.

Why did you think not?

Don't remember!

Yeah, I have the same questions about this episode. Especially the time frame.

How could so much of it appear to be on Tess's first day if Zane needs to apologise to Taggart for his behaviour of weeks?

I thought that Zane was in the Arctic with Taggart, getting the ice core, and had been for several weeks.

Aha! So that's where his month had been. Thanks.

Now I just have a basic distrust that all of that (including the solution) could have happened in one day, but that's much more manageable.

I thought Zane was off on the retrieval trip with Taggert - the truck to bring the core was his doing.

Totally spacing on the "forgetting episode". Irony indeed!

Nice to have Taggert back, but I seriously wish they'd try and explain away his awful "Australian" accent. I guess I need to handwave like the science?

Congrats, Joe Morton, on directing the episode, though.

Heh - inevitable Buffista x-posts.
