EURKEA: A Night in Global Dynamics

Where is my Battlestar Galactica!? I mean, the movie is on next month and I haven't heard a peep. I'm pissed!

I disagree. I found the finale (all but the VERY end couple minutes) very satisfying.
I was buying everything, to be honest. I didn't understand Henry's motivations for helping Beverly, but then I hadn't been given them until shortly before he turned the tables.
I accept how he handled things - he erased information from Carter's mind, why wouldn't he work behind Stark and Ally's back even if to help them? Henry is generally a good guy, but repeatedly we've seen that he puts his own feelings and his own motivations ahead of others from the very first episode.
This episode only felt lesser to me because it was really the second half of a longer episode, and if you watch the whole together it feels like a great Eureka episode.
Not the best of the season, but definitely better than the "let's pray" episode. A-

I have to agree with Lackey... while I may have given it a slightly higher score than a C, the finale was a disappointment. They have been building all season to this Henry/Carter showdown or at least Carter remembering everything, and nothing happened with it. What was the point of him having flashes throughout the season if nothing was to come of it? There was no resolution to that storyline. I was expecting Carter to either remember everything or have Henry apologize to him and tell him what happened. It felt like they just dropped the ball (and story) on that one!

I have to join with the others who found this episode disappointing. It was almost as if the writers suddenly realized they reached end of the season and rushed everything.

Henry’s actions made little to no sense. There were so many other ways he could have accomplished the same goal. Why jeopardize everybody at GD with a false Bio-threat? He had to have known about the buildings defense systems and the sterilization procedures. Henry might want to punish Beverly for killing Kim and Alison and Stark for locking him out but he would not jeopardize a bunch of innocent people to do it. And he didn’t have to. Given that Carter and Stark could get to the lab there was obviously access to the transporter that didn’t need to seal off the building and drop the President’s office into a big hole.

For that matter why even bring Beverly along? What did he need her for? He had everything he needed to save Ben. Beverly was just untrustworthy dead weight.

And the whole virus thing was so … I want to say silly. The key to alchemy is a virus that if you discover it turns on you and destroys your civilization. Huh?

And can anyone actually explain the ‘akkasha’ field or whatever it’s called to me? I still don’t quite understand it.

I agree that the Carter/Stark stuff worked. The Jo stuff was ok.

The last sequence …. I don’t even want to touch that.

#4 The key to alchemy isn't a virus. If you get the formula wrong it turns on you and becomes the metal eating thing from last episode, or something else depending on how you screw it up. Think of it like this: if civilization is ready for the solution they will have it, if no they get booted back to the dark ages.

The akkasha field is like cosmic awareness, knowledge of everything, understanding of the universe on a level so fundamentally beyond our own, basically the answers to life the universe and everything.

as for the episode, i enjoyed it muchly. Henry's motivations seemd a little off character but other than that i just enjoyed the ride.
