I had a bunch of open threads from Season 2. Some have been answered, some are still pending and may not be answered.  So here are my open threads… answered or not.

  1. Sheriff Jack Carter is remembering Henry Deacon using the memory mess-er-upper device thingy.  This hasn’t been addressed as of Episode 5 Season 3.
  2. Nathan Stark asks Allison Blake to remarry him because he can’t live without her and Kevin.  Well we all know now that Allison does decides to marry Nathan but he just goes floating out into time leaving Allison free to have a relationship with Jack. But will it happen?
  3. Carter and Callie Curie are dating.  Where is that going?  This is going nowhere as we all now know. Callie has not been written in and Allison is now free to start dating Jack. If she will.
  4. Where did Beverly Barlowe go after she was transported out of the bunker?  We may never know this answer. This is still an open thread.
  5. Where did the Artifact go after Kevin was transported?  This may never be answered. Stark was the one who was interested in the artifact. This is still an open thread.
  6. What’s going to happen to Henry?  Is he coming back to Eureka?  Thanks to Eva “The Fixer” Thorne, Henry is back and completely pardoned. But for Eva’s own evil purposes. Ah… what will come of this?
  7. What will happen to Jack if Henry doesn’t come back?  How will he figure anything out?  Irrelavant. Not important, not happening.

Here’s the new Eureka psychiatrist thought. Dr. Abbey Carter is a shrink, but if they bring her back Jack can’t have a relationship with Allison. However we’ve discovered in Episode 4, Season 3 that Jack’s sister Lexi is ALSO a shrink.  And she’s going to have a baby and needs a loving family to be around… so MAYBE, not knowing the future, she’s going to become the new Beverly.  Just a new thought.

After watching Show Me the Mummy (Season 3, Episode 5) it’s obvious how the are going to bring back Nathan Stark. They left it wide open if Ed Quinn ever wants to come back.

Nathan gave Allison a logic diamond as a wedding present. He “imprinted a small part of himself” into the diamond. So they will do something like…

…use the diamond to attrack Nathan’s essence from time and reassemble him. Or…

…use the essence of Nathan that is in the diamond to recreate his DNA and create a Nathan clone.

…or something like that. So as always with SciFi unless you have a dead crispy body to show … the person can always come back. And even if you do have a crispy body (Carson Beckett) you can still come back.

When is dead not dead? When you are on a SciFi show.

Sheriff Jack Carter: Ahhhh… Just be careful. It’s all fun and games until someone gets cursed.

I just was thinking about how to bring Nathan back… besides the obvious just dropping out of time. That’s assuming that Ed Quinn would want to come back.

He could have a good twin – him being the evil version. Or maybe he is the good twin. That would be interesting.

There is the whole time thing. He could drop out of time or come forward from the past. But that would create the whole time conundrum – the grandfather paradox, etc. – like when Henry brought Kim back.

What about the whole alternate dimension thing. An alternate Nathan. That could be fun. But since Nathan already has a beard – how would we know if he’s evil. Maybe if he were clean shaven. And of course it brings up the possibility of all sortsa fun.

Those are just my thoughts for the future. 🙂

“And now for the answer to the only question you probably care about right now—Is Stark Really Dead?—the answer is YES.”

For now.”

From http://revealthescience.blogspot.com/2008/08/goodbye-nathan.html

This is from Eric (Wallace`s?) blog. So Nathan Stark is dead. Hmmm. I agree with the various boards … Nathan went out with class, dignity, and style. Ed Quinn, Colin Ferguson, and Neil Greyson did a great job. And we (my Beloved & founder of kalarhythms.com) were totally shocked that Nathan got “dead.” But this is SciFi and how many times has a dead person reappeared? Carson Beckett just popped into my mind (I was watching an old episode of Atlantis). So how dead is dead? Yeah, we know it was the actor’s choice to leave … and good luck to him in his future endeavors … but they left his “death” so open. It was a cool effect … floating off into time. Eric (the writer) ended his blog with “for now” and Stark ended with “See you around, “Jack.” Or something close. Open ended. Lotsa folks are looking at Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson. Is it the same reason … Michael (sounds like I’m on 1st name basis with him don’t it) left because he wanted his character to grow and Showtime wanted the character to stay the same (if my fuzzy memory serves me right). Once SciFi took over the show, Michael came back and the character grew. Did Ed leave for similar reasons?

I’m not sure how I feel about Stark’s untimely demise. I will miss the character – he was delightfully snarky. I will miss the actor – he was delightfully handsome. And I’ll admit I was one of the ladies looking for more 1/2 naked Stark. But I’m still not sure how I feel about him leaving.

I would love for Allison & Jack to get together. That wouldn’t have happened if Allison had married Nathan. But I’m sure the Allison/Jack relationship is not going to happen now. Allison will be to heart broken. I’m sure their friendship will grow and strengthen. My guess is at least thru the end of the season there will be no Jack/Allison romance. Hopefully – in my opinion anyway. I’m also sure the the sexual tension will still be there in full force.

On an aside, I liked Callie Currie. She and Jack were cute together. Also, while I’m off on a tangent, here’s a thought – Beverly Barlowe is now gone, GD needs a psychiarist, Dr. Abbey Carter fits the bill. That would add a whole fun dynamic. Just my thoughts.

I was also getting a little tired of the whole Stark/Carter sniping at one another. It just seemed over done to me. Yeah, Stark was marrying Allison, but at the end of season 2 they had actually been able to work together without sniping at each other. Granted the whole marriage thing did change it … and they were trying to save Allison & Kevin, but… The sniping was still starting to get on my nerves. Carter & Stark (Stark could have been gracious about winninng the heart of the fair damsel) worked well together. Carter came up with the ideas and Stark “made it so.” Whaddya gonna do?

I would have liked to see Nathan stay. I would have liked to see him & Carter come to a detante and be able to work together. I would like to see Allison & Carter get together. Except that would’t have happened if Stark was staying. I like the Zane/Jo relztionship. But then again Jo & Taggart were cute too.

Speaking of… Bring back Taggart!!! I love Matt Frewer and the Taggart character is wonderfully quirky. There’s got to be a need for a vet! Sister Lexi brought “Grandma” with her.

Many shows have survived the loss of a major character. Let’s hope Eureka does too.

Tomorrow starts season 3 of Eureka. I can’t wait. It looks like it’s going to be another good season. Henry is coming back with a new hair cut. I’m glad he got rid of the mini-dreds. I don’t like Allison’s new do. It doesn’t look like either Mrs. Dr. Abby Carter or Callie Currie are coming back. So that leaves Jack free for Allison. It does look like Zane is coming back for Jo. At least for the first 2 episodes. And “Hairboy” is coming back for Zoe – at least if the commercial is anything to go by. And at least if IMDB.com is anything to go by. I guess we will see!

I’ve been over watching Season 2 now.  I got if form Amazon.com UnBox.  Kind of cool. I still want the DVD’s for the extras.

Anyway, Continuity error.  If you look in the background just before Beverly Barlowe comes to Section 14, you can see the Army guys with the nuke.  It’s not supposed to be in Section 14 yet.  Allison doesn’t authorize the transfer until 2 scenes later, but it’s the same 5 guys, same box on the gator, same formation both before and after the nuke is supposed to get there.

I have to disagree with everyone who thinks Taggart’s accent is terrible.  Hey, he’s just form a different part of Austrialia.  It’s like the difference between a Boston accent and a New York accent.  They’re not that far apart, but they sound different.  And what about the difference between someone from Boston and some one from, say Savannah?  They sound nothing alike.  So…. just because his accent doesn’t sound like what WE American’s think it SHOULD sound like… doesn’t mean it isn’t right.

None.   This is my least favorite episode of Seasons 1 & 2.

Ok.  Here’s some open threads on Eureka.

  1. Sheriff Jack Carter is remembering Henry Deacon using the memory mess-er-upper device thingy.
  2. Nathan Stark asks Allison Blake to remarry him because he can’t live without her and Kevin.
  3. Carter and Callie Curie are dating.  Where is that going?
  4. Where did Beverly Barlowe go after she was transported out of the bunker?
  5. Where did the Artifact go after Kevin was transported?
  6. What’s going to happen to Henry?  Is he coming back to Eureka?
  7. What will happen to Jack if Henry doesn’t come back?  How will he figure anything out?

Here’s a thought.  Bevery Barlowe was the town shrink.  Jack’s ex-wife Abby Carter is a shrink.  What would happen if Abby became the town shrink?  Just a thought.
