Does anyone know why there were 2 cars with Carter ad Zoe at the very end of the last epiosde ? I never saw the first epiosde... Did this happen in the first epiosde when they were ariving in Eureka ?
we can fanwank it like different timelines different order of events, but in the 1st episode Zoe was a rascal adn a juvenile delinquent and her father was keeping her in the back of a police car as a prisoner to apply the law without favouritism and to teach her a lesson...
In the first episode Zoe was waving and smiling at themselves as the 'new' to Eureka pair were heading into the town. But that little inconsistancy can be because of the alternate timeline. I'm happy with it. And hoping that maybe they'll do some made for TV movies.
Doesn't it give you like a shudder of electricity to be in the same room with me?
Can we subscribe the alternate timeline to the fact the in the pilot, the car that Jack and Zoe pass is a sedan, and in the finale it's a jeep? :-)
Well, if you want the technical explanation...
In the original timeline-- Trevor Grant hadn't come forward from the past-- therefore, he wouldn't exist in the present. Therefore, he would not be here to save Eureka with an 11th hour buyout.
In the original timeline, the DOD shutdown would have been the end for Eureka... and therefore, the end of Jack's job. So Jack & Zoe would NOT have been leaving Eureka in a police-issued jeep.
With the new timeline, he still has his job in Eureka, thanks to Grant saving the town. This is why Jack can still drive Zoe to the airport in his jeep.

that would be a good explanation but are you sure the jeep is the one Jack and Zoe is leaving in or it is the one they are coming in? anyway, Jack's job would not end, he would be transfered, probably back to his previous job or to something better, Jo was offered a job in area 51, so Jack could get the same
In the pilot episode as Jack and Zoe head into Eureka a car passes with them inside. It's never explained in the five seasons of the show, and in some ways still isn't "explained." But it makes a nice little bookend for us the viewers since this is one unsolved mystery from the beginning of Eureka and they put it in at the end.
"Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything."
I was never clear how this could be possible... Series end Zoe and Carter leave, but run into themselves from 5 years ago. Another wormhole thing of temporal displacement? With other time travel stuff like Terminator and John Connor's father, that makes sense.
Suffice to say, there was nothing changed originally since only Zoe noticed the duplicate selves.
AFAIK, if nothing else, that thing in the first episode was meant to be a long term thing to pull you in, and to show that Eureka would be a place where very unusual things happen.
Good points. I wonder if the writers put that in there just because fans kept asking if they were ever going to revisit the duplicate-selves thing from the beginning of the series.
