Show Me the Mummy
When I watched Show Me the Mummy the first time, I knew it wasn’t going to go down as a favorite of mine. I liked the mummy theme and I liked the logic diamond. I even liked Eva Thorne in this one quite a bit more than usual.
But there were a few things about the otherwise great episode that I couldn’t get out of my mind later.
Eureka must be getting lax with its security
Lexi is an interesting character, but considering what Jack Carter had to go through in the first episode to get “in the know” about the town, I’m a little amazed at how easy it is to get people in these days.
Does she not know what’s going on? Did she have to sign a confidentiality agreement? Was there any red tape to getting her settled in the town? I would love it if the show addressed this as some point. Maybe they can allude to how she got clearance to live in Eureka when her beau comes ’round—because you know at some point in the future, he’s going to come ’round. :-)
Whether or not they eventually address the security issue isn’t going to make or break the show for me, but it would be a nice touch.
The law of attraction is not absolute
Show Me the Mummy was a good episode. I don’t know about the validity of the science involved, but I do know about common sense.
My common sense tells me that no music, no matter how attractive it is to the bugs, is going to draw every single bug right to it, right away. That one short moment, when Carter is rushing to get those bugs into the fusion-powered mega-freezer, was the moment I knew I couldn’t call Show Me the Mummy a EurekaFAN Favorite. :(
What did you think about the episode? Am I being too hard on Eureka?
