classic scifi

(S02E09) The fresh takes on classic Science Fiction plots has to be one of my favorite things about Eureka. Invisibility is an absolute classic. Solving the invisible man problem is a bit glossed over, but everything else was baked to simmering SciFi perfection.

(S03E05) This Atlantis a classic scifi mind trip episode. Weir wakes up in a hospital room.... and she's told that she never left Earth. Things start looking a bit freaky when Jack's head goes on fast forward like a mad TiVo. Our Dr. Weir seems to be getting better and better in her mind trip. In fact, half the episode is devoted to just setting it up.

Back in Atlantis Weir is being scanned - something's spreading through her. Okay, she's been infected with nanites. (Yay! I thought the previous episode finished way too easy. Not that I think it's great to infect people with nanites.) As the doc works on a solution to the nanite infection, Shep encourages Weir to fight (In the chairless infirmary).
