Eureka "Liftoff" (7/11/2011, Spoilers)

I'm kind of hoping they just let Carter be with Allison, and not focus so much on their relationship. They've been through a lot and I'm not sure I could take anymore angst between the two.

• Her ex husband popping up
• Carter traveling from a future, where they were together, to fix something in the present then having his memory zapped out of anger.
• Carter just being a weenie for a few years.

The show has plenty of other plot options, just let them be but not focus so much on their relationship to keep the flow the same.

 

I just plain hate the relationship between Carter and Allison. Other than that, I love the show...

 

This is one of those shows where IMO romance is simply not needed. We have Henry and his kind of wife which is OK, and the Jo/Zane thing is interesting to me for some reason, but beyond those two just get on with the wacky screw up of the week.
Speaking of Zane, curiosity is killing me regarding how much of what Fargo told him. Jo knows something changed but I hope it isn't all slam bam okey dokey. They still need to go slow.

I like this new timeline and would not be upset to see it stick around, apart from Carter and Allison. IMO they have zero chemistry and the whole thing feels forced.

 

I think the android marrying the house is just dumb. I did get one laugh out of it when Andy said she could be a house wife. Haha, she's a house and she'd be his wife.

 

I was wondering if Zane told the Board that Fargo told him about the past trip.

 

You're so literal

 

I scratched the Space Station! Now they will never let me be an Astronaut!

 

I like Carter and Allison but I can do without all the lovey-dovey crap from them and everybody else on this show, androids too.

 

Did they REALLY have to bring Camille (aka Ming Na) into this series - and playing an almost identical part as a bitchy government functionary?

 

You've probably got it backwards. I.e., did they have to hire Ming Na to play the bitchy government functionary?

 

They probably couldn't avoid the "funding is threatened" storyline forever, but I was kind of liking that particular facet of reality being out of the picture or brushed aside. (I always figured the same excuse applied here as in Men In Black.)

 

Exactly. Yeesh, they just developed a friggin FTL drive! I think that might be worth a few bucks, don't you? Any one of the inventions they parade out each week would fund Eureka for the next 100 years. Heck some of their inventions could erase the national debt. The whole "we are going to cut your funding" is pretty stupid in that context.

 

I suppose it could be a "because we can" situation, that ends up making the government stooges look like idiots who cut off their noses to spite their faces.

Not that that would ever happen in government!

 

Egads, you are right. I had, briefly, forgotten how utterly idiotic our current government is being in real life.

Sigh. Now I am sad...

 

I thought in the first season, Carter (when he first got there) asked about funding and Allison told him that GD had a few patents that paid for most things...

 

I'm not worried about that. Many relationships are like that at the beginning. Hell, even the show addressed it when their friend said something along the lines of "haven't you guys been together long enough for the PDA to stop by now?"
