When the FBI arrests Zane Donovan before bringing him to Eureka, a box for Half Life 2 can be seen. The Half Life series is originally about a top secret research facility called Black Mesa, not unlike the town of Eureka.

First appearance of Niall Matter as Zane Donovan.

Bicuculline is a potent light activated antagonist (blocker) of the neurotransmitter GABA, and blocking neurotransmitters keeps associated neurons from working. But, there are two classes of neurons: excitatory neurons stimulate other neurons to fire; inhibitory neurons suppress other neurons. Gas pedal and brake pedal. Gabaergic neurons are inhibitory, so bicuculline would act like cutting the brake line on your car - it won't slow you down but might make you go too fast. Bicuculline is routinely used in research to overstimulate brains and cause epilepsy-like seizures.

Zane says that shielding the big bang experiment would take at least 100 tons of metallic hydrogen sheets. It is theoretically possible to chill and compress hydrogen to the point it not only becomes solid but acts like a metal. However this takes pressure millions of times greater than atmospheric pressure. You might be able to make metallic hydrogen sheets deep within a gas giant like Jupiter.

New character, Zane (a snarky, genius, convicted felon) joins the townsfolk of Eureka this week and the result is fresh and funny and smart. The crisis of the week requires the input of more than the usual number of scientists and the lead of the lot is also a lovely and welcomed addition. The overarching season plot is lightly touched upon, but to an endearing (and not overwhelming) end. As the plot does not follow quite the same formula that other episodes have thus far and the with better (read, more natural) guest stars than usual, the composite episode is a real winner.

Just watched episode S2E8 E=MC...? again on Netflixs. Rewatching my way though series. 1 OF THE BEST EPISODES EVER! Classic EUReKA conundrum, no disappointment in the twists & curves U come to expect from every episode (their writers never cease to amaze me). U get to see a lot more of the "GD" staff (change from the regular cast or occasion guest star). Also nice to see the cast portray their characters counter-personalities. My favorite part , the Carter"isms" . The mannerisms Mr Ferguson portrays as his character in this episode are a good part of why I love his character so much & the show as a whole (also doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes). The only thing U miss in this episode is the occasional Fargo siting (he's becoming a little more evolved as a character @ this point in series) & the familiar Carter/Stark banter that is prominent in season 2. Gonna miss the show when it ends...would loved to have seen where the cast & crew would have taken it for another few seasons.
