Anyone else hate the new director of GD as much as I do?
And what was her interest in those old nuclear test films last night? Did she have the “waste trimming” done just so she could get her hands on those films?
One of two things is going to happen this season. Carter is going to fall for Jo, or Nathan is going to bite the big one, leaving Alison free so that Carter can have another go at her.
Am I the only one here who would love to have a job at Cafe Diem?
Oh man, if I would work at Cafe Diem I’d be sure to gain 50 lbs in a week. Could you imagine being able to eat any food you wanted at any time? Nevermind the paid breaks to watch Survivor: Biosphere.
What do you guys think about the in-episode advertising? They’re being pretty obvious about it now, but I wouldn’t mind if it’s not directly pointed out everytime. I think it might just fade into the background.
Thanks for the thread! I was going to start one myself.
I don’t mind the in-episode advertising at all.
I, too, want to know what the deal was with the black and white movies at the end of the episode… what’s going on there?
With that kind of technology, you’d think they could develop a food that didn’t absorb into your system. Of course that would mean that you poop all the food out. Probably the sewer systems would get clogged with solidified waste. Actually, it’s the makings of a good episode. They really need to quit with the long story arcs and just focus on the little funny things that go on in town.
How do you think they created that big-assed underground biosphere in the first place? Too big to dig. No, what they have to explain is the date on the film she was watching. Remember, of the nuclear explosion?
February 21, 1938
I didn’t get why she seemed astounded at what she was seeing. There’s something significant there, but I didn’t get it.
Maybe it was much earlier than the Manhattan Project?
And the daughter in the BioDome was kinda hawt.
July 16, 1945 was the date of the Trinity test. The film dated from 7 years earlier.
Okay, that’s interesting, I didn’t catch the film’s date.
That new director must have some kind of pull, if she could wangle a pardon for a guy set to go to a super-max prison.
With all the exotic food available at Cafe Diem, I wonder if anyone ever wants to order just plain mac n’ cheese, or meatloaf.
She’s part of a government project that has all sort of top-secret high-tech shit, including a secret mission to Mars and she’s astounded they conducted nuke tests 7 years earlier than they admitted?
I’m kind of surprised that Global Dynamics, and by extension, the city of Eureka, is having money problems. I mean, this is the town that has holograms, force fields, invisibility (even if it IS illegal)… you name it, they’ve got it. Granted, I imagine that they’ve got some pretty hefty expenses, but charging for food in Cafe Diem won’t take care of that- that’ll just mean that your supergenius scientists will start looking for work elsewhere, as you’ve just given them the equivalent of a pay cut.
They need to have a serious talk with their marketing dweebs, and maybe think about selling some of their inventions. And no, making a deal with a deodorant company won’t cut it.
There’s always my fantasy option #3: Carter and Nathan kiss each other on the lips. 
I didn’t get the 1938 film reel either. It looked like there was a bunch of lightning coming down at the same time as the mushroom cloud was going up. Is that something normal?
Nathan cannot die! That’s an order from my wife. Plus, Ed Quinn is an all-around great guy. Very funny and personable when you meet him. So, no ex-Nathan!
The alternative, of course, is for Jo and Allison to have a slumber party…
I’ve seen that video before, and it’s my understanding that those were vapor trails, presumably put there to visualize the atmospheric shockwave.
I loved the exchange between Allison and Carter when they were being prepared to enter the biosphere:
Allison: This isn’t exactly how I pictured us being naked.
Carter: You pictured us naked?
Allison: No!
I’m kind of wondering where they’re going with this. Is it that she wasn’t aware of the ultra-secret stuff Eureka was doing (that seems unlikely) or was there something specific she was looking for with the nuclear tests? I was wondering why they were showing nuclear tests until they showed that date and now I just don’t know where they were setting up with that scene…
She’s up to something. Last week, the show ended with her taking out and pondering a vial of some blue liquid. This week, watching Classified movies. I think she’s part of the same group Beverly belongs to. In other words, A Bad Guy.
Yeah, she’s totally Evil. That’s why she got Henry pardoned, to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. How can the good folks of Eureka hate her when she saved Henry?
She got Henry pardoned because she wants him to do something for her. He owes her now. She’s Evil, I tell you. Evil!
Couldn’t they have been a bit more subtle about replacing the nafarious Beverly with the nafarious Director? :dubious: Of course, she has a hidden agenda! But, couldn’t they wait a couple weeks to smear our noses in it?!
