Eureka 9/12

Tonight’s my anniversary, so I’ll start this thread earlier than normal. I plan to be distracted after the episode airs. :wink:

This episode seems to continue the nanotech idea that was introduced last episode, with a touch of Invasion of the Body Snatchers thrown in for good measure. More Stark is good, of course. What are the chances that the duplicates will chase Allison down the street in her underwear? C’mon, SciFi, take advantage of being on cable and show us some skin! :smiley:

My husband is hoping that the teenage daughter doesn’t get rid of the neon-red hair that she had in the last episode. Sometimes I think that my husband only watches television so that he can ogle teenage girls without being accused of being a perv.

I agree with the call to “show us some skin,” but I want to see Colin Ferguson in his skivvies. Or less.

“You dream of world domination?”

“Not all the time.”
:smiley:

My husband’s comment about Zoe’s red hair: “She looks like Ronald McDonald.” And indeed, she did–the stripes really didn’t help.

I’m always happy to see more Taggart, so, I’m satisfied.

Yet another good episode! Sorry to join late but had it on the DVR and only saw it today.
I love the witty banter and it is not limited to a couple of charictures. The depth of the personalities (as in: Stark, Alison, the deputy the mechanic/shuttle engineer, the guy in the dinner, the dog catcher Aussie, it’s all good.

“watch your headBonkOooooo”

:sand-like nannites explode all over::
“Did you know that was going to happen?”
“No… not completely”

And we get further, though brief, proof that Joe cleans up GOOD.

I like the relationship developing between Carter and Allison. I just hope Stark* doesn’t turn into a heel over it. That would be way too predictable.
*Anyone else wonder if his name or character is loosely based on Tony Stark?

Yeah, like the Pulitzer ceremony in Dr. Nobel where she shows her thigh-holster to the guy in front that’s eyeing her.
OOohYeaah.

I like that we got some more backstory on LoJack… 130 IQ, created (and saved) by Animal Testing…

Good episode; makes up for last week’s.

I was a little disappointed the LoJack’s IQ was only 130; well above average, to be sure, but not enough to defeat Tag the Bounty Hunter.

The mood-ring was also entertaining, but I wish they’d have done more with it. Still, it was funny that Stark was always angry.

I like that too. I was wondering when we would. Originally I was thinking he was a cloning experiment gone wild, and the cryptozoologist guy was trying to round up all the copies.

I wonder why the nanites didn’t kill LoJack though. They killed the two technicians, and only spared Stark because of that neural device and the fact Stark is pretty close to perfect. Which he is. :slight_smile:

But do we know for certain that they didn’t kill the real LoJack? Could the LoJack at the party be a nanoid re-creation?

If it was a re-creation, wouldn’t the soundwaves have caused it to disintegrate as well as all the Starks?

Was the dog in the room when the soundwaves were generated? I don’t remember.

Neither do I, and I’m at work so I can’t check the Tivo. How did they get all the material to make that many Starks, anyway. Certainly not from the techs they killed. Not enough mass.

I wonder that every episode. He would be good in an Iron Man movie!

I also enjoy that they have a character named Carl Carlson.

Maybe they were just empty shells?

I went back and looked at the scene in which the nanoid Starks are disintegrated by the soundwaves, and I don’t see any sign of LoJack in the room, which would seem to allow for the possibility that the LoJack who shows up at the party might be a nanoid impostor.

Jo and Taggart sittin’ in a tree…

When you think about it, they’re kind of made for each other.

I’m pretty sure he’s the real deal, because when Carter asked him if he were the real one, he barked. That’s dog-talk. The nano-whatever’s don’t talk.

Back in the ventilation shafts, the nano-LoJack growled I think, but that doesn’t count as intelligent communication, IMHO.
