In Eureka, nothing is what it seems, especially banal things such as a noise complaint call. When Carter and Jo look into the disturbance, they find a scientist with an incredibly noisy machine with many gyrating components. Carter gets clubbed on the head after standing too close (not one of his smartest moves), and reality falls apart for him shortly after.
This episode is reminiscent of Star Trek: TNG’s “Remember Me” and “Parallels.” Like “Remember Me,” people keep disappearing into never-existence but Carter, and the history keeps adjusting where he experiences some alternate scenarios like in “Parallels.” The changed scenarious also reminded me of Sliders as well. How they handle continuity with Carter as the constant is very clever.
Is this all a result of Carter getting bonked on the head? Is Carter going crazy? Is the universe truly coming apart? Are parallel realities intersecting where they shouldn’t? Or, is there something else at work?
Overall, an excellent episode with some surprises in store. I just can’t give them away right now. Stay tuned this coming Tuesday, 9:00pm on the Sci Fi Channel.
