I think Eureka was the first to actually do the "personal forcefield" right. When Fargo activated it, it surrounded ALL of him, even his feet. Any time you see this done on any other show, it always magically stops on the ground, and people can walk like normal.... here we actually had the shield lift him from the ground.

Its the little details like this that I really enjoy about the show.

Yes, a similar episode was done on Atlantis... but there, I actually wanted to see McKay die. :D

I just watched season 1

Good show - the psychiatrist is hot :p

SPOILER IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED ALL OF SEASON 1

Uhh, I'm wondering, how come Henry can remember what happened in the other timeline when all others, beside Carter(the sheriff) can't?? :s Henry didn't do that time continuum thingy :p

Henry, in the beginning of this season, created a device to wipe out specific segments of memory for he and Carter to use. He used it unexpectedly on Carter and then destroyed the device. I guess he doesn't want Carter inhibiting his attempts to bring the chick back.

I liked this week's episode - I was totally fooled by the twist with the therapy visor - I didn't figure it out till right at the end, I thought it was a pretty cool idea.

Henry is becoming such a tragic figure...the part at the end where Carter is telling him how weird it is to remember things that didn't really happen and Henry just keeps a straight face during it...so sad.

Do you think that Zoe's mom will be coming back at any point? I kind of liked her and I think having her around would be really interesting for the Carter and Allison relationship.

I wouldn't mind seeing her back, like you said it could add an interesting bit to the show. Though, if it were to happen I'd expect it to be for her and Carter (what's his first name?) to remarry.

Season 1 just finished a few weeks ago here, missed the pilot episode but caught all the rest, it's a great show.

Shame the time it's on sucks, 10:30pm Thursday on "Ten HD", the channel's listing in the program guide fills up a 2-3cm high area at the bottom of the page, I'd say 99% of people would miss it entirely.

I haven't been too thrilled with this season at all so far. It doesn't 'suck', but it hasn't been as good as S1&2 to me. I think maybe they're still a bit off-kilter from the writer's strike. I remember when that happened to Star Trek: Next Gen and the first half of the season afterward was awful. I suspect maybe the episodes so far are "fillers" that were already written before the strike. Still watching, though! :D

EDIT: Wow, I obviously pulled up the wrong Eureka thread! I just noticed the post ages.

Yup, it was good to see it back. But..... they got over the Carter losing his job way to quickly.

Could it be because he didn't exactly lose it?

Thanks to the town's charter, while DoD can fire him, it can't take effect unless the mayor (Henry) accepts it. In other words, because Henry didn't accept it, DoD got cross-checked. What's all the more hilarious is that it was the android Andy (originally designed/built to replace Jack) that dug up that clause, and did it for the express purpose of getting Jack his job back.

Jack Carter has been the quintessential *outsider* (as far as DoD is concerned) from day one (his) in Eureka. Unlike the rest of the town, he has no connection to the military (worse, he came from the *Justice Department*; specifically, the Marshals Service), and the very reason Morrison canned Jack was because they needed a *fall person* for the Eva Thorn mess. Even though it was Henry (with his mayoral hat on) and Allison Blake that actually smuggled Eva out of Eureka (and you had better believe Morrison suspected at least Allison in complicity; his remark to her at the end-of-last-season cliffy made that rather plain), the REAL onus was really on Morrison himself; after all he SENT Thorn to Eureka! He did NOT want his role in the mess to get out (and he's certain that Henry and Allison either know or suspect, given their positions at GD and/or Eureka's government), and he also wasn't going to fall on his own sword; hence Jack getting whacked, even though Morrison himself knew he didn't deserve it.

What I'm wondering is what's with the otherworldly presence hotfooting it toward Eureka? Is there a connection with the Artifact? (Though it's apparently quiet, it's still under lock/key/guards deep in the bowels of GD.) Is there a connection to Nathan Stark? If not, what is the future of Jack and Allison? (Jack knows he has it bad; Allison knows *she* has it bad; heck, even STARK knew they BOTH had it bad.)

Could it be because he didn't exactly lose it?

Really? I thought people would generally understand what I was trying to say. I'll try again.

Yup, it was good to see it back. But..... they (the writers!) got over making him "lose" his job then getting it back way to quickly.

They made it seem that him "losing" his job would be a bit longer, 3-4 episodes at the most. Just 1 episode then finding out he didn't really lose his job was just poor :(

Get what I was trying to say now? :s

Because even they knew (like Morrison) that making Jack the victim for THEIR screwup woul fly like a lead airship above a hypergravity vortex.

Anyone know why it was gone for so long?

What were the producers thinking?

It wasn't, it was gone for the usual amount of time for eureka, Eureka is a show with long episodes and short seasons. and it's a summer show(the only one almost, certainly the only one worth watching) it start around this time, and ends in fall.

it's the way it's always been.

    • I do like Edifier products. You have to be careful with their model numbers if you care about specific I/O, like optical in. They often have multiple products with nearly identical part numbers, so close the Amazon will sometimes suggest the wrong one even if you copy/paste the exact model from their site. Things like optical typically are the difference between one and the other.
    • I forgot to mention that if you have 15+ hours remaining at the end of the month, 15 hours rolls over to the next month.
    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
