Phased and Confused
Phased and Confused is a catchy title. I understand the phased bit, but I have to admit I’m a little confused about the confused… But maybe that was the point. A title with only half a point could very well be thought of as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I liked the way several stories played together in this episode to move the larger story of Eva Thorne closer to a climax. Hopefully, I’ll discover her secret agenda before it’s too late! I certainly don’t want to have to wait until after the mid-season break, but I have a sneaking suspicion my wishes on that might be ignored.
Phased and Confused played up two main stories. One, about Captain Eureka and his apparent crush on Lexi Carter. 
The other, the story that actually seemed to take the central position in the episode, was about Zoe, her friends, and Zane, and this story is the one that’s interconnected with Eva Thorne. I loved the bits the writers/producers left for me to ponder, including Zoe’s slip, which seemed much more sinister than it played out in Phased and Confused. I really think this one’s coming back for me, especially if the trailers for the next episode, From Fear to Eternity, are an accurate indication of things to come!
The one moment I can’t pass up mentioning from the show, when Jack Carter makes an oh-so-understated remark about Captain Eureka follows.
Looks like Captain Eureka gave us the finger…
–Jack Carter, Phased and Confused
Taken in context, this very literal statement was able to pull a startled laugh from me while I watched. What did you think about it? Too juvenile? Not unexpected? Some of Jack’s comments, I can see them coming, but they always seem to catch me off-guard anyway. :-)
