   I think the Eureka writers are tired of it, too, and that's why they're   
   satarizing, or parodying the schtick. Like they did with product placement.   
   Or, like the whole show is a parody of  the Big Government Conspiricy genre.   
   (An alternate name for Eureka could be "Bored of the X-Files".)   
   For some reason, I'm thinking of invisible Jack O'Neill in the wonen's   
   shower room.
