foxmonkeyCutting for the one or two Eureka! fans on my friends list.
An enjoyable episode. Excuse me while I whine.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Friggin' bastages! They dangle Carter/Allison TWU WUV in my face all first season, knowing I'll love it, adore it, and cherish it to the end of my days...then they pull the rug out from under me. Argh! Poor Carter! Stark proposed and it looks like (maybe not) Allison's going to say yes. Waaaaaah! I hate this show (I love it).
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Friggin' bastages! Henry turned out to be a good guy (yay!) but he's being taken off to jail because of the virus hoax! I love and adore Henry, dammit, and they'd better make it right next season. Joe Morton's kind of the Morgan Freeman of the small screen; a very classy actor. Blast it all, he'd better not be off the show (not that I wouldn't turn in to see what's happening).
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Friggin' bastages! Taggart's increasingly annoying faux Australian accent continues to annoy me, increasingly. You know what would make it all worthwhile, though? If EARLY in the next season, we find out it's all been a ruse to make himself seem more interesting than he really is, and he's from Columbus, Ohio or something (I'm from Columbus, and it would be completely hilarious). I would *love* that. Also, I like that he's not with Jo anymore. (yay!)
As usual, the women of the show are completely kick-ass. Allison slamming Beverly around was a squeeful moment, although the characters fell victim to the tedious cliche of *not tying up the bad guys when you've got the chance.* Another crutch appeared when everyone raced out of the control room leaving Beverly alone, giving her the chance to escape. Oh come on. If you're going to write about smart people, how about giving them a little common sense as well? Okay? Thanks.
Zoe's character continues to delight. I think that's been the single best improvement in the show this year. Yay!
Is it wrong of me that I'm completely unimpressed with dry cleaning lady? If they deliberately chose a colorless actress for the role, they did quite well with the casting. She's very blah; Carter needs more from a woman, dammit. Cut her loose, Jack! She's not the one for you!
Also, I must comment on Michael Shanks' appearance last week as the ridiculously studly sculptor. Holy friggin' moley, he looked *great*! Whatever he's doing, he's doing it well. The arms looked truly sculpted, and the facial scruff was perfect. He looked about five years younger. Oh, Michael Shanks, how I adore you. I'd love to see him return after his character is released from jail. ;-)
Hey! Maybe the sculptor could help rebuild the crumbling infrastructure of Global Dynamics! Seriously, it could be community service as part of his sentence. He and Stark could snark at each other and the sheriff could pull them apart and the sculptor (Dactylos?) could bitch and whine about his great talent being wasted on something as mundane as construction. Brilliant idea, no? Brilliant idea, yes.

Carter still doesn't know Henry erased his memory! and has been lying to him all along! And does Henry still have that horrible grudge against Carter for letting Kim die in the alternate timeline!? arrrrgh!
But yes - the rest of it was love. =)

Date: 2007-10-03 04:12 am (UTC)YES! I knew I forgot something! That was truly unsatisfying. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, for Carter to maybe do one of those, "I love ya, man" things that men do, but I like the way he keeps reinforcing their relationship, "You're my best friend." Funny, isn't it, that Carter's the one with the wiped memory, but he's reminding Henry of what they've lost?
I wanted a hug, or for Henry to finally say "I forgive you," even if Carter wouldn't really know what he was talking about. Yes! That would've been a nice touch, because Carter would totally misread it as Henry forgiving him for doing his duty with the arrest and the handcuffs. A very odd little ending. Bastages!
