Corrected entry: Carter seems to be frazzled by the time anomaly, and acts as though he's never dealt with a time distortion before. But back in Season 2, not only did he learn that time travel/distortion was possible, he experienced it first hand by going back in time, four years into the past to stop Henry from saving Kim.
Eureka (2006)
1 corrected entry in I Do Over
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.
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.
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."
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?
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.

Correction: Henry used a device to erase Carter's memory of the future, so as far as he knows he never encountered time distortions before.
