    A fine example for what eureka is about. Personally i find that the plot was a lottle to simple, from the moment you see the sonic melter you realise from where the magmapockets come. Although a nice realisation. The obsesive geologist is a nice example of crazy scientist and I would love to have this nice tunneler, no more whaiting in autoroutes simply dug under them. One of the big questions is now : What was the origin of the radiation and why is she so interestet in it? We will see, surely in the season finale, can't wait for it.moreless

    WOW! What a great episode of Eureka. (The following does contain spoilers just to warn you) We have exploding dogs, a hatred of physics, cool futuristic diamonds, and earthquakes. Everyone was in top form tonight even Allison though she was a little out of her element with the whole wedding dress thing, she still did well. I really liked that there was a lot of comedy in this episode and some quick one liners that really made this great episode even more enjoyable. We also got one of those great Carter and Allison scenes when he was helping her out of the dress that makes you just hope something will eventually happen there. Next weeks episode looks to be good to as it seems we are going to be possibly losing someone according to that preview. Hopefully not but we will see :(moreless

    I hate physics too so Zoe you are not alone. This episode was especially funny starting with Jo and weddings (mouths agape as they ought to be), then it was Carter's "And that's how you ask, who raised you?" comment and of course the reason why I love this episode; exploding dogs, now I'm no dog lover quite the opposite thank you so when Dr. Young's dog went kaput with a Frisbee in its mouth I was dying on the floor. The magma in the underground scene looked awesome, altogether another great (by great I mean horrible and full of panic) day in Eureka.moreless

    • Allison: We are sinking zero balance p-wave detectors all along the ridge. Stark: I'll re-task the geo satellites to look for ground g formations. Carter: Sounds good, what is all that going to tell us? Stark: (in a sarcastic drawl) Nothing, we just like sounding smart. Edit
    • Dr. Hood: Dougie Fargo? That wild man. Did he tell you about the time we were running those Columbian drugs? Carter: Uh, no. Dr. Hood: Yeah. Columbia med school wanted to make, uh, mineral-based vaccines. So Doug and I trekked all over Alaska gathering eriochalcite for those yahoos. Edit
