Other mistake: Captain Eureka losing his finger makes absolutely no sense. He doesn't cry out in pain, there's no blood, and where the finger ended up is completely illogical. The finger didn't just sever on its own; it's shown that severing only occurs when passing through objects. Captain Eureka goes through a wall that is a good fifteen feet away from where the finger is discovered, and it is implausible to think it could have rolled there on its own.
Eureka (2006)
Starring: Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Colin Ferguson, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston
In Too Deep - S5-E8
Plot hole: Carter is apparently just learning about Feynman's Day, which Allison explains as "Eureka's version of April Fool's Day." It's highly improbable that Carter could have lived in Eureka for five years and still be oblivious of this, especially given all of the hijinks that happen.
This One Time at Space Camp... - S4-E18
Plot hole: When Dr. Hughes is racing to save Allison when he thinks he is Carter from the events that happened in "I'll Be Seeing You" Henry says he is racing for a cliff, and that the cabin was just a hologram. But in the episode the Cliff was the hologram disguising the cabin. Henry even commented in that episode that he did not remember a cliff being there.
This One Time at Space Camp... - S4-E18
Trivia: At the 1990 Space Camp, the Awesome Possums say the "way of thermal propulsion" is "Thrust first! Thrust hard! No mercy!" This is play on the 1984 film, "Karate Kid" where Cobra Kai students say the "way of the fist" is "Strike first! Strike hard! No mercy!"
Trivia: When Allison and Jack are talking about their relationship and marriage is mentioned, Allison says "is it so inconceivable?" This episode features Wallace Shawn (as Dr. Hughes). Shawn starred in "The Princess Bride" where his character was known for saying "inconceivable."
Trivia: In the final scene, as Jack and Zoe are heading out of Eureka, they pass their younger selves heading into Eureka. This scene is from the pilot episode where Zoe sees another version of her and her dad. However, in the pilot episode, the other (older) Jack and Zoe are in Jack's original car, not his Jeep, and other Zoe waves at them. I would call this a mistake, but I'm listing it as trivia because I know someone would say "after they came back from 1947, things changed so this changed too."
Nathan Stark: Good job, Carter... Wow, that didn't even leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Marshall Jack Carter: Wait for it.
Nathan Stark: ...Oh, there it is.
Marshall Jack Carter: Let's not shoot the crazy end-of-the-world machine just yet.
Question: When Jack and Jason go to talk to Todd about MACAA, Todd tells them that they destroyed it in Section 14 pit followed by a nuclear explosion. If it was destroyed, where did the version that is missing from the shelves come from?
Question: I've been re-watching this show, and have noticed this in nearly every episode. In scenes inside GD, there's always one person, a background extra, who seems to have clear plastic wrap over their clothes. Do you know what that is all about?
Question: What ever happen to Allison Blake's son?
Chosen answer: He's still around, we've just not seen him lately, as scenes with Blake have been mainly at work, where Kevin wouldn't be.

Chosen answer: It's basically just a type of suit that's made for whatever special project they're working on. No different than a lab coat, hazmat suit, fire coat, etc.
