Badge continuity. When Carter is stuck to the fence at Osbourne’s Farm watch his badge which is somewhere around his left hand. It’s above is hand, it’s way above his hand, it’s to the right of his hand. It just moves all over.

Chapter 14
There’s a What? Where?!?
About 2 weeks ago, my Beloved came to bed late after working hard. Normally he doesn’t wake me up, but on this evening he gentle shook me and told me, “if you get up to go to the bathroom, make sure you close the door.”
I opened one bleary eye and looked at the clock. It read 3:25. That would be AM. And being not totally awake my verbal skills just weren’t up to par so all I could do was ask, “why.” “There’s a possum in the bathroom,” he replied. “A whut?” “A possum.” “What?” My Beloved calmly replied, “There’s a possum in the bathroom eating the cat food. I heard it up on the roof, there must be a breach in the eves. Just close the door when you go to the bathroom.”
Me, “What? Did it come in through the hole the bats were coming in?” Him, “I don’t know. I’ll check.” So at 3:30 am my Beloved tromped downstairs, and then tromped to the basement. The next thing I hear is SLAM! SLAM!! If you don’t slam our basement door it doesn’t close right. TROMP, TROMP, TROMP.
My Beloved – “I guess I didn’t close the door to the basement and the possum came in there.” Now my brain is fully awake and I’m thinking “Ok, what ELSE came in?” But, I said, “OK.” Beloved, “But it’s closed now. The possum is cute.” Me, “No, we can’t keep it!” Him, “I’ll take it out in the morning.” Me, “Ok.” Him, “Remember to close the door to the bathroom so the possum doesn’t escape.” Me, “There’s a possum in the bathroom.”
Possum, “crunch, crunch, crunch.” That’s the best fed possum in our back yard.
Random Thoughts
“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body…but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand – champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and yelling ‘WOO~HOO – What a Ride!'”
Eureka – Blink
If someone could explain to me this… How on God’s green earth did Carter see the biometric subcutaneous computer chip when the body was cover in all that dirt and debris and yuck? Seriously.
Eureka – Dr. Nobel
Here’s one that I think might be an error, but it could be explained otherwise. In Dr. Nobel, after Dr. Thatcher has gotten Stark’s Nobel everyone gathers in the room with the MAD machine. Stark, Allison, Carter, Fargo, Eugenia and Henry (Henry was wearing his coverall’s under his university robes (serious, check.)) are all still in the dress clothes that they were wearing at the presentation. Dr. Thatcher has changed into the clothes he was wearing before he changed into the tux for the presentation of the Nobel. Here’s 2 options on why Dr. Thatcher wasn’t wearing a tux at the end of the episode.
- When they went back to get his “crew” he changed his clothes. But honestly would they have had time for him to change out of his tux?
- Ooooops. They got the costume wrong.
You choose.
Eureka – Invincible
When Allison comes into the Sheriff’s Office and asks Jack why he’s avoiding the physical. Is it only me or wouldn’t one expect a more technologically advanced pencil sharpener? It’s an old fashioned mechanical pencil sharpener! But I love the look he gives Allison over his shoulder as he’s sharpening his pencil.
Lion Brand Homespun Yarn
I started knitting prayer/healing shawls just recently. When I purchased Prayer Shawl Ministry: Reaching Those in Need I bought some Lion Brand Homespun Yarn to make a project.
Let’s start with – I really like this yarn. “Soft, Silky and Beautiful! A uniquely textured yarn that works up quickly and easily. … Please note that some colors have long, slow color variations that cause them to subtly stripe. This is deliberate and adds to the beauty of the finished garment; such yarns are designated as our ‘painterly’ colors.” It’s neat yarn. It is made up of fibers woven around a central string to create these little nubs. Homespun Yarn for a picture. And it’s got a ton of colors. It’s warm and most importantly it’s machine wash & dry. My cats love it.
Ok. I can’t purl with this yarn without straightening the nubs out on one side of my fingers and bunching them up on the other side. If you pull too hard on this yarn it will do this. Anyone who wraps the yarn around their fingers while knitting will notice this. It just takes an adjustment in they way you knit. That being said – I think it’s worth it. I just have to figure out how to adjust my purling now.
Eureka – Right as Raynes
Ok. When Callister Raynes is in Cafe Diem watch the volume of water in his pitcher. It’s up it’s down, it’s up, it’s down.
Eureka – Before I Forget
It’s fun to watch the job tags on Henry’s coveralls. In the Pilot these tags aren’t on his coveralls, and he has a little logo for his garage name on his coveralls. But starting in Many Happy Returns Henry has these little tags on his coveralls. As a matter of fact that’s one of 2 episodes where you see him change the job (from Forensics to Coroner (Board certified) in MHR). The other episode where you see him change the tag is Before I Forget (from Mechanic to Ballistics). But if you look when he’s in the cafe with Carter & Jo, the tag changes from Ballistics to Mechanic.
Eureka – SARAH
By now everyone who is a fan knows that Neil Grayston, who plays Douglas Fargo, is the voice of SARAH (Self-Actuated Residential Automated Habitat). Wouldn’t it just be way to cool to have a SARAH? I asked for one for Christmas this year. Didn’t get it. Maybe next year.
