As the post notes, this poll is about pre-Eureka, jc, but thanks for the Henry love!

Jennifer: While it's more than likely Allison and Nathan also went through some sort of DOD vetting process and just handled it quietly (that is, offscreen), Allison and Carter are a special case given his role as sheriff. As we've seen on the show, the head of GD and Eureka's sheriff can have conflicting interests and responsibilities, and that's complicated when the two people involved are, well, involved. :) Hence the relationship audit.

Hey, Zane-complainers, read the post! :) We left him out on purpose along with Fargo, Jo, Parrish, and Holly because they already did their hard time in the iso-chamber, and because we already saw how they performed in that particular test.

Much as we'd all like to believe that SARAH and Andy are omniscient, they aren't. :) They glitch, they need updates, etc. Storywise, we get penned in if any particular piece of technology is too powerful because then there isn't anything for the other characters do to do. Regarding SARAH and Allison's neural implants, Beverly and her group know exactly who and what they're dealing with in Eureka (or think they do, anyway). They would have engineered their tech to be undetectable to SARAH and everything else they expect at GD. Grace didn't find anything, remember. It's only the Higgs Field disruption causing Allison's lost time that drove her to use a brand-new piece of advanced equipment -- one Beverly and co. couldn't have anticipated -- which revealed the implants at all.
