'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
What To Watch On TV This Week
Eureka: Dr. Nobel
(S1E06) First of all... Wow. Jo's friggin hot in that dress. (I can't say more, my wife might read this)
I guess Zoe's feeling a little intimidated by her fellow school kids. Pulling the fire alarm during her IQ test? Awesome. It's nice to see them pay some attention to that aspect of Zoe. I don't know if I feel sorry for her or jealous of getting exposed to that kind of education. Being surrounded by genius kids would have to be tough.
Stark's really getting fun. First he takes Fargo down to his new office - he obviously enjoyed that one. I LOVED it when he reverses track when Allison wants to stick Carter into the secret mind probe device. I think they're still trying to figure out Stark's character. I think he stalks around too much. He delivers some fun lines, but he's so serious they lose some impact.
The results of the memory probe were pretty interesting to watch. I'm a little surprised that it didn't go both ways. (If only the scientist would have made some little comment to Allison or Zoe.) We saw the kiss in the previews, but it still delivered; especially with the old lady's comment to Zoe just afterward.
On to my favorite parts. The old scientists walking down the hall to fix the machine just screamed Space Cowboys at me. The plaque in memory of the favorite test monkey was great. (I need one of those) Allison teasing Carter with the almost kiss... and zapping his brain with an experimental machine instead. Carter smashing the open Nobel prize case was classic.
My nitpick of the show: I guess the townsfolk have nothing better to do. If you pay attention to the clock, ol' Vincent was out starting at the death ray for something like 8 to 10 hours. Oh, and the lighting didn't change the whole time.
Dr. Nobel made for another fun episode of Eureka. I've found that I like it better when the plot and resolution really fills out as the show progresses, and this one really did the job. Since this ep was so serious - death ray/mind probe/Mutually Assured Destrucion - I really enjoyed the ending. A little rock and roll goes a long way towards balancing out the end of the world.
