I will say that I think this current season's arc has, so far, been the most fulfilling. It's taken a standard sci-fi trope, that changing the past can affect the present, and has really played it for keeps. Unlike other shows, even this one previously, it doesn't look like they're going to "undo" the time change, the characters are permanently stuck in the new timeline. It's an interesting way to re-invigorate the series, and a good starting point for new viewers.

I just wonder if we are going to get a storyline of the alt-time line travelers in the regular Eureka timeline. You know, alt-Henry with no wife, alt-Jo being chased by Zane, alt-Mom dealing with a suddenly-autistic Kevin, Fargo no longer head of GD....
Think that would be an interesting glimpse of how those 5 are dealing with the time displacement.

Well we are in an altered reality so anything is possible. Speaking of which, where the heck is Taggart (Matt "Max Headroom" Frewer)? He does two episodes of Supernatural and vanishes from this show? Did they explain his disappearance?

I don't recall what happened to him after that, if they said so explicitly. Considering merely 2 episodes later the show was in an alternate timeline, it probably doesn't matter much: he could be anywhere in this timeline.
Here's links to plot summaries for "Have an Ice Day":

Since there's no thread on this week's episode ("The Ex-Files"), I'll just post here to say that Dr. Grant's line about
was the greatest thing ever.
Spoiler:
was the greatest thing ever.

Just updating from my initial question in this thread that I've been netflixing the show & I actually kind of like it so far. Certianly enough to keep on going with it. Its not amazing, but the lead is decent, the cast is decent, & I watch like 3 TV shows so I'm always looking for a new series to watch. Plus I know it will only get better once Felicai Day gets involved because I'm in love with her.
