Eureka felt like they had a left over plot idea and just slapped some Xmas padding around it. Still, it is better than no Eureka at all. Souldn’t someone at GD have been aware of what Taggart was doing in one of thier labs? Fargo and Blake seem awfully uniformed about what the scientists under them are doing with GD equipment and personnel.
Eureka was a bit weak given how much better their current season has been against the last season with the whole product placement arc. Gotta say, Salli Richardson-Whitfield was looking damn good, like season 1 good. Gotta applaud her for her hard work in trimming the post-baby weight.
I thought that the Warehouse 13 episode was pleasant, harmless fun. If one were inclined to try to place it within the show’s regular timeline, it would have to take place after “Merge With Caution,” since one of the artifacts from that episode was shown on one of Claudia’s funny-yet-ghoulish T-shirts, but before the season finale, as Myka was present.
I was just confused for a while because I missed any indication of who the guy hanging the decorations was that everybody knew.
I’d forgotten about Claudia’s brother and for some reason he like a different actor to me once I caught on. So I thought I’d completely forgotten some new member of the crew or missed a bunch of episodes.
For an episode cramming in the Christmas it was ok. Though I am amazed by how easy it is to get from North Dakota to Philadelphia and back in a work day. With a piano.
I hadn’t been watching Eureka as often as I’d like, but this Christmas episode was starkly disappointing and unpleasant and might have turned me off the show for good.
Represented are, if memory serves, the telegraph from Telegraph Island (drove Pete insane), Man Ray’s Camera (sucked the youth out of Myka), Mata Hari’s Stockings (captivated Artie), Rheticus’ Compass (trapped Joshua) and Godfrid’s Spoon (nearly offed Claudia). Of course, if you work in Warehouse 13 long enough, you’ll compile a dizzying variety of T-shirt options. I guess you’d have to pick whichever near-death you thought was the coolest.
