Greedy genius vultures

After several episodes with a lot of light & fluffy, Eureka made up for it this week as it took a surefooted step toward something much grittier. Stark just keeps winning me over, and the execution of Beverly's return only reinforces that feeling. He & Allison are keeping some dirty secrets, but the situation has just gotten a lot messier. Holy crap, what a way to end the episode.

So, Kevin is mutating? Hunh. Wonder where they'll go with that. I'm guessing that Beverly will be instrumental in finding a way to reverse Kevin's changes. I have a little problem with the artifact and the "collective knowledge of the universe" business, but I'm willing to play along.

Of course, it was nice to see Michael Shanks. Too small a part, but mmm, good arm porn.

Arm porn, eh? You never cease to fascinate.

As to the artifact, the Akashic Records have a solid history in sanskrit mythology, sort of like the solid history of the stargate since it originally came out in a pyramid.

I agree to totally enjoying this pretty pappy show's closer in the last five minutes, let's hope it stays that dark next season.

Indeed, I have heard of such a thing, but I'm dissatisfied with how the concept is being handled on the show. It kind of feels like a vaguely esoteric element thrown in to make the artifact more mysterious. I dunno, maybe I'm just being critical about something so not-science being as instrumental as it is in a place like Eureka.

Heh "arm porn" is a term I got off the interweb. Man, you wouldn't believe the kind of perversions people talk about in cyberspace! ;)
