Eureka! Huh?

I don't think there are that many Eureka fans on my friends list, but I'll cut anyway because I'm all about the niceness and being considerate and whatnot.



Say what? That was probably the lamest Eureka ep I've ever seen, and I'm pretty sure I've seen them all. Holy cats, I don't even know what they were going for.

Jo: YAY! They got her away from Taggart McCreepy! I believe Matt Frewer's age is listed as 48, but he looks 78 to me, so watching them try to hook up always made me cringe and go YUCK! and fast forward through the scene. His completely awful attempt at an Australian accent made me want to barf, so yeah. If I never see him again -- and if I never see the two of them onscreen again -- I can't say I'll be upset.

Sadly, they seem to have moved swiftly away from Fargo's interest in Jo to this cocky new guy that I'm reallllllllly hoping will fall by the wayside soon. I have no patience for cocky characters who enjoy breaking the rules. I don't find it endearing at all and if that makes me a stick in the mud, well, I'm fine with that. Also, Jo looked quite lovely in last night's ep. She's a gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!

Zoe: Zoe used to bug me (see above cocky character who breaks the rules), but I'm glad they toned down her rebel deal this season because honestly, if you're that unhappy in Eureka, go the hell back to L.A. to live with your mom. She's actually turning into a character that I enjoy, minus the horrible flatironed hair. Note to styling department: Not everyone can pull off a center part. This kid is not an exception to that rule. Fix please? Okay, thanks.

Henry: YAY! Henry's still the smartest guy in town, pretty much! I think it was more fun before he worked at Global and he'd pop up any- and everywhere doing just about anything, but he's stil got tons of screen time and it works with his current storyline, so I'm happy.

Nathan Stark: I always enjoyed his snappy, smartass repartee with Sheriff Carter, but I *really* like him now. Now that he's not the head of Global he's got this layer of laid-back going on that works well with the aforementioned snappy, smartass repartee. I much prefer this relaxed version of Stark. I hope he sticks around for a while. Unfortunately, I do not want him with Allison. No, no, no.

Sheriff Carter: WAH!!! They've sidelined my ship, dammit! I enjoyed the slow build last year, with the teasing and the looks and the timeline that never happened. I *want* them together. I guess moving on is natural, but it doesn't make me happy, dammit. I hope next season brings them back to the flirting and stuff. And I love Sheriff Carter. Great character.

Allison: See above. Should be with Carter. ::squee:: Other than that, I love Allison.

I'm sad that they didn't do more with Teryl Rothery in last night's ep; she was wonderful on Stargate as Janet, and it would be *great* to see her in a recurring role on Eureka, but doing smart stuff and saying smart things, not just pining. Pining for a dead husband named Daniel, of all things, and you can't tell me that wasn't deliberate! Again, a note to the stylists: Teryl's hair looked awful. More like that and you're FIRED. Jeez, my cats could do better.
