Eureka

While I love Eureka, trust me, I do, I just wasn't as thrilled with this episode.  It was good, and seemed to really be in the same vein as a lot of their episodes, but it seemed so rushed.  Something would go wrong and there was a miracle fix.  Something else would go wrong and someone just happened to have what would work.  And Jo really came out of nowhere with those horses.  Also, as much as she was mentioned, I don't think she had the screen time I like for her.

I liked that they started the show off with the wedding.  Totally threw me off.  I remember thinking, Wow, did I miss an episode? because they really make you think that its Carter and Allison.  When they explained more, it was pretty weird, since its Jack's house... Anyway, they also remind you that Fargo really liked (likes?) Jo, and cares about her, trying to help her with the Zane dilemma.  The new Jack and Allison, "I'm in love with you, but I'm still your boss" thing was a little crazy.  They seemed to speed through that as well, with little impact as to how they actually felt.  It didn't help that they were going back and forth from GD to space so much, but that was kinda necessary...  I do like that they have Zane find out more of what happened with the time traveling thing, but I wish we could have heard exactly what Fargo told him.  I know they will delve deeper into all of this, it was just the first episode back, but still, it left me wanting so much more (and yet less at the same time).  The blast into space was all in Fargo fashion, and we got to see a vulnerable side to Zane that we haven't seen since the change in time.  There just seemed to be so much thrown all at once, like they wanted to remind everyone of every single detail all at once, plus add several new dynamics, plus have Fargo and Zane screw something up again and yet save everything as well.... It just was too much for one episode I think.

Can't wait for Felicia Day next week though!
