Jack is just perfect as the guy who tries to make sense of a world he never knew existed and proves again and again that he is smarter than everyone assumes, going right to the heart of matters when the brainiacs are stumped. Jack and Zoe are great, too, and I found it puzzling to see Zoe hide her IQ test results from her dad; I tend to think Jack is way smarter than he lets on anyway and it seems his daughter is just like him. Henry, the best Jack of all trades ever, is a hoot although I wondered where exactly they were going with his character and why on Earth he or Allison would trust Stark but not Jack with this big secret. While Stark is almost always annoying and supercilious, even he is starting to grow on me; there have been a few moments when he acted almost human before reverting to form. Jack and Allison have great chemistry and I love to see them interact. I think last season's finale made it clear there could be a future for Jack and Allison but they aren't going to go there just yet. I would like to see a little more acknowledged tension between them, looks or touches or something to let us know they feel the attraction though while we wait. I'd hate to think his promise to Allison in the alternate reality was not going to be made real at some point. Just be glad this show didn't end up on the CW or we've have years of crappy angst that would just drive you up the wall. I still want a smart house of my own and a Cafe Diem to patronize at lunch! Please? I’ve loved this show from the beginning!
