He was asking for confirmation that Stark said his "ego is as big as this building" the day before he died.

No, really? :rolleyes:
Right back at you. :rolleyes:

Not my fault you were being a deliberately obtuse ass.

ok i may be wrong or this has been posted but right before stark died he said remember my ego is as big as this building that was the day before he died right or am i wrong
Yes, you're correct about that.

Actually, wrong on both counts.

Carter didn't even see Stark the loop before Stark died. Besides which, the last time Carter saw Stark, it was Carter who made the "ego big as building" comment.

The order was:

-Carter saw Stark, made comment, went to find Leo. Leo lied, Carter went to find Eva at her radiation filled treehouse

*Loop*

-Stark figures out, goes to Leo who explains, tries, fails

*Loop*

-Carter convinces, Stark believes, dies.

So the comment was made second to last loop, and it was Carter, not Stark who made it.

However, the question remains, how did Stark "remember" the comment?
I stand corrected. *shrug*
 
I don't really think Carter took enough advantage of the loop.

O'Niel and Teal'c with the Golfing through the aperture of the Stargate? Now that's setting the bar a touch high for this sort of story which I don't think Eureka came close to equaling.

Lost in the Stark stuff was Eva's actions. We know she was surveying that area, but Henry said there was a pocket of radiation. I think. What is she up to? Is she evil or just a capitalist trying to make a buck?

I've been wondering about that as well. I don't think it's about money, rather it's about power. She's trying to unearth a powerful weapon (or research and resources leading to such a weapon).

Well, it obviously ties in with the A-bomb tests footage from 1936(?) and the discovery of underground "chambers."

So, what's down there? Or is it who's down there?

Right, I figured it was connected to the A-bomb tests footage (hence my reference to power and weapons). I'm guessing there's some special kind of special bomb buried deep underground and she's trying to figure how to properly access it without 1) Alerting anyone and 2) Killing herself.
 
ok ye sorry i was wondering cos stark aid remember my ego is as big as this building and that was the day before he died so i found it strange that stark remembered that when carter and the time guy were the only ones who remembered thing from the days before
 
In order for the Allison and Carter romance to happen, Stark had to disappear. That was the only way for Allison to believably get close to Carter without appearing to be a fickle woman. On their wedding day or after they are married, I think Stark will return for dramatic effect. I think the character will return, whether the same actor plays him or not.
 
Nah... Stark could have cheated on Allison, or yelled at Kevin. Plenty of ways to break up the relationship.

I don't believe they ever mentioned what happened to The Artifact after they separated its field from Kevin last season, did they?

It was buried on Earth for hundreds of millions of years, and they never specified precisely where it was found. Maybe they built Eureka where they did specifically because they found The Artifact near there accidentally while doing the A-Bomb tests, and it was in the underground chambers Eva is studying. It would explain the weird radiation signals Henry picked up, and it might have "evolved" somehow after connecting with Kevin and thus may be unrecognizable to Henry and the others, but Eva knows what it is, and is possibly a member of The Consortium and a replacement for Beverly, albeit with more power.

Also, that Dr. Carlson guy once told Stark that "he would someday know what The Artifact had revealed to him" and now Stark has had a very scifi "death" so he might be experiencing that version of enlightenment or "heaven" within The Artifact right now.

Except both of those actions would be completely out of character for Stark. A noble death is not.

Hmmm...interesting points there. You might be onto something there.

A bit of an aside, but did they ever say explicitly if Stark was Kevin's father? As I recall, they always played it a bit ambiguously, and I'm curious about where the kid actually came from.

I've been wondering the same, particularly during this episode. As far as I recall, it has never been stated that Kevin is Stark's son and that's something I would have expected to be mentioned sometime in the first two years, especially in the season two finale. I'm guessing Allison had Kevin prior to meeting and marrying Stark, perhaps even before she moved to Eureka. Do we know how long she's been at Eureka?
