Well they have been a little bit. Did you notice that he's dropped a line about it in each episode? The thing I don't like is that he told Nathan, " I think someone sabotaged her computer" and Nathan's all nonchalantly like "oh yeah? huh." I would really think he'd be like "WHAT? Wait, wait, when did you find this out? Why am I just now casually hearing about it? WHAT?!" I would think he'd be freaking out, but, it's probably coming.

Did anyone see a little bit of Mid-to-Late-Season 3 Trip in Carter in this episode? Ya know the whole "she's treated him like shit and he just kept crawling back, give him a spine" talk from CT about Trip? Doesn't that track for the way Allison's been treating Carter and how he just worshipped the ground she walked on, until last episode when she went behind his back with Nathan on that project and made him mad? I'm glad he's not over it so quickly, but it just leaves a bad angsty taste in my mouth that reminds me of Trip and T'Pol being thrown around...

But I think they're just making Allison sweat so she comes to appreciate him more :D

I can't help but like Nathan and Henry working together... man that's the potential for like 10 Nobels right there :lol:

The only thing I don't like about this show is how everyone seems to dabble in everything. It's kind of unrealistic. I always thought Nathan's background was in Physics, and here he is, one of the foremost experts in Cryogenics? Sure it INVOLVES physics, EVERYTHING involves Physics, but it's much more heavily involved in molecular biology and genetics. I guess...that could be why he's a genius :lol:

After all, I think Marie Curie got Nobels in Chemistry and Physics... but those are pretty related...

Sometimes I'm amazed at my tendency to gravitate to the strangest, most least likely couples.

Example: The Dream episode scene with the ballerina shoes made me seriously consider Carter/ Jo as a possible pairing. Well, in fiction anyway. I doubt canon would ever go there.

Sigh. I can be so random sometimes.

Well, wanna talk about off-the-wall ships.... What about Jo and Fargo! :lol: I love the pure joyous grin he got on his face when they realized it was Jo's dream...so funny. Jo would be the object of my desire too... probably even over Allison. Allison's gorgeous, but Jo's just more my type. And I like how she's not 1-D anymore... how Zoe and her have this girl-girl understanding and Zoe sneaks her in girly magazines, so it's obvious she's multi-faceted... hey! Just like a real person! :lol:

I'm curious whether the women are more into Carter or Stark... cuz Stark isn't such a bad guy anymore. I like how they backed away from Stark being the 1-D bad guy foil to Carter's good guy. We can like BOTH of them now! :lol:

This is a little out of nowhere but do you remember Allison (don't know that actress' name) from when she guest starred on Deep Space Nine?

What was her name on there... Frella? Freya? Something like that.

Hmm... I don't recognize her from DS9, but I do know she was Drey'ac from SG1, Teal'c wife.

That's right! Was she the first actress to play his wife, or the second? It's always confusing to me when they have two actors share a role.

As far as DS9 goes, the episode was called "Second Sight" and was all the way back from 1993. I butchered her characters name; it was actually Fenna.

Can't wait for the next episode, invisible Carter sounds fun. Also I'm interested what Carter will do with the tidbit he got from Henry about Beverly.

Who else laughed at what Henry was watching instead of the experiment? Was the SciFi channel poking fun at itself? :lol:

What? You don't watch Dexter? He's my favorite cartoon character... even better than Sponge Bob. 8)

I wonder when they will delve into the artifact storyline more deeply including the whereabouts of Beverly instead of dropping bits and pieces. The next episode should be fun though.

I really wonder where Beverly is too! She said she was "going on vacation" or some junk awhile back, but I wonder if A. the actress is unavailable and the character's supposed to be considered "in town" while Henry is doing all this investigating and even involving Nathan, or if B. she's still gone.

I was wondering there last week if they were filiming these in random order because that Zane guy who was interested in Jo just disappeared for awhile. MAN, Jo is freakin HOOOOOOOOOT :D

I kind of like how they are just dropping tid bits about the artifact storyline, particularly the Beverly/Kim/Henry part, because it gives me the feeling that this whole thing is just going to EXPLODE one of these days (or weeks). If they're doing a mid-season break like they often do on Sci-Fi, it will probably be the mid-season finale (which is coming up in 3 weeks, this was episode 10 and this season is 26 episodes), if they don't... I don't know, but they should do some big arcs, start addressing it. What is UP with Kevin is my question, I know there's a connection to the artifact but...weird.

And we got a glimpse into Henry's true unwillingness to let go of Kim with the whole multi-verse portal.

Oh yeah I have a theory on what's going to happen to blow open the "previous life" story.... Jack's memories seem to be coming back after Henry wiped them, unhidden each time he experiences something new. Either that's kind of a plot hole, because nobody else has ever regaind memory before (particularly Kim and Henry in regard to that d-bag who used it!) OR, he is recovering memories for a reason, like, that the device was never meant to erase as much as 4 YEARS of memory, and they are coming back, it didn't work right.

So I wonder if there's gonna be an episode where Jack begins to recall things EN MASSE from the other life, and it's so sudden and uncontrollable that he has trouble differentiating reality from the memories (sort of like right after when he was all protective of Allison, called her Ally, acted really friendly with her, etc). I think he's going to end up in the psych ward b/c he's having all these flash backs, like he's delusional or something, but they'll do some tests to discover that his memories are legit, and start to try to unravel exactly HOW that's possible...

I don't know how they'd deal with Henry because Henry would have the potential to blow the whole thing wide open in one conversation, which wouldn't quite be as exciting as the gang trying to figure it out on their own... so I almost hope they contrive a way for Henry to be out of town when this is going on... Hey... perhaps tracking down Beverly!

Am I the only one who found the whole "magic sonic vibrations creating pseudomiracles" plotline kinda dumb? How is it again that subsonic radiowaves would affect a person's ability to generate sound without affecting everyone else? And if it's a regional phenomenon why didn't the girl's voice return when she was moved? Everyone else could speak in the research lab. It MAKES NO FREAKIN' SENSE! I have no clue about "sonic bioluminescence", not being a marine biologist or an entomologist (since some bugs and deep sea creatures are the only things that glow on the planet) but if the subsonic radiowaves were making Alison glow, then they were present in the lab, and no explanation was given for why Alison was the only person responding in that way to the radiowaves. It's just a TV show, I know, but stuff like this just bugs me.

I read a bunch about sonoluminescence one night on wiki while bored and everything they said seemed to jive with what I read -- but the general question of "why these people" doesn't seem to have been answered other than perhaps they meant to intimate that some kind of "spike" in those ultrasonic frequencies at a particular place at a particular time had caused it.... I don't know, but Nathan seemed to be under the impression that Kevin/artifact fixed it!
