Eureka: Ship Happens

With the ship coming to Eureka I was ready for aliens. I enjoy I felt like something that truly shook up the show might just be a good thing. Now that it hasn’t happened though I am just fine with that. I can understand why the writers would be reticent to inject something into the show that would necessarily take over a huge part of the series and what they did with the plot bringing back Kim, sort of is something that will be interesting to explore.

Much of the episode was about Henry dealing with the return of the woman he loves expect it isn’t really the woman he loves. It looks like her, even sounds like her, and in some ways she acts like her bu it isn’t.

With the return of an old character it helped to remind me just how much I miss Stark on the show. He filled a role that they need to fill again. A rival for Carter. Someone who isn’t actively doing anything wrong and is useful but competes more with Carter.

The other thing that I liked is that the solution for this weeks episode wasn’t something they introduced this week. Having one of the technologies that have appeared return is important because one of the logical problems I’ve had with Eureka is that they tend to create new technologies one week and then never use them again even though they would be very useful.

Overall I am very interested to see where they go with Henry and Kim, and if the show can just find a little more conflict between the cast again I will be quite happy with it.
