In the meantime, I want to talk about From Fear to Eternity…

I had my moment in the sun when I realized they were following up on the Jo Lupo and Zane Donovan moment I talked about in my comments about Here Come the Suns.

Now Zane on the other hand, I adore. However, I think there’s trouble to come between him and Jo Lupo. That relationship would certainly be on the skids if Jo were able to see the look on Zane’s face when she made certain serious overtures toward him. No secretive smile from him–he wants to run away. That’s the only way I can describe that look. So look out Jo! Maybe you’ll decide Tag’s the better man after all!

Did you notice how nothing really changed from the beginning of the episode to the end, even if they seemed to have resolved their temporary breakup? So look out Zane, because I hear that we’ll be seeing Taggart again sometime in the upcoming season three episodes.

From Fear to Eternity has Zoe facing repercussions after her slip in the goo in the underground government facility beneath Eureka (Phased and Confused). Although Henry gets to work right away trying to find a cure for Zoe’s deteriorating condition, only Eva Thorne knows what’s going on—and Carter is running out of time to get the answers Zoe needs.

Throughout this season’s episodes, Eva Thorne has been walking a fine line of villainy and goodness. Her actions in the early episodes made it hard to decide if she was out to get Eureka, or if she was just misunderstood.  I’m so glad this plot was wrapped up before the break!

Of course, they left us with another big question to have answered and that’s whether or not Carter will still be Sheriff come the second half of the season. Personally, I want Carter as Sheriff Carter, but I’m sure the writers can convince me otherwise if they try! :-) Uncle Carter though? I’m really not sure about that one! What about you?

I’d really love to know if you think you’ll like where they’re going with the new baby thing. With Lexi and Allison, that’s going to be a load of kids running around underfoot! What were they thinking?!

There’s been the virus shows and the artifact shows, shows about genetics and a great many shows about out of control technology. Now we’re venturing into the monster shows. First that was What About Bob?, now there’s been Show Me the Mummy.

What About Bob? might have technically been a genetics episode, but the title guy, Bob, could have been Voyager’s Tom Paris. Tom just happened to devolve (or was it evolve?) into a lizard. The episode was Threshold and it wasn’t one of my favorites. I’m a forgiving viewer. If I like a show I’ll let it get away with just about anything… But that’s not to say I don’t raise my eyebrows and wonder what the heck the show-runners are thinking.

I actually liked What About Bob? but Show Me the Mummy didn’t make my list of can’t-miss episodes. You might think it was the Mummy I objected to, but it wasn’t. The bugs bugged me.

No, that isn’t even right. The bugs didn’t bother me until the music entered the picture. I have no problem believing the frequency of Lexi’s music could have attracted the bugs, but to believe that it was possible to round up every last bug in that freezer in a one shot deal just boggles my mind. So, an otherwise interesting episode lost a lot of luster for me right then and I downgraded my rating from a 4/5, possible 5/5, to a 3/5.

I hope Show Me the Mummy is the last organic/biological villain show we have for a while. I do like monster shows, but I prefer technology over biology any day!

The next episode to appear on Scifi’s schedule is Phased and Confused. The title inspires me to speculate wonderful things. :-)
