Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSaul Rubinek plays Dr. Carl Carlson in this episode. Saul Rubinek will go on to play Artie Nielsen in Warehouse 13 (2009) which is a sister show to Eureka (2006) and had many charactor cross-overs.
- GoofsIn his lab, Dr. Carlson explains to Sheriff Carter how he is working on cellular regeneration, and cites as an example how lizards are able to regrow their tails if lost in an accident, etc. As he talks, he gestures towards a tank with a lizard in it. However, in the tank is a chameleon, which is actually one of the few lizard species that does not possess the aforementioned cellular regeneration characteristic, and is unable to regrow its tail.

Featured review
Chalk full of cliches
The episode starts off very well. We get a scientist that's got really bad OCD, who supposedly has a big day. The character setup is absolutely great.
However, the episode quickly falls off the rails. For one, the "big day" involved performing a relatively routine experiment. It was only a big day because of the accident that occurs to kick off the episode. He would have had no way of knowing this until after the accident.
However, the accident gives him super powers! At first, he seems to be invincible (as the title suggests). For a time, this boosts his confidence. Later we learn the true source and nature of his powers, and this is where we just delve into cliches.
This is an example of a plot twist that actually makes the story worse. Had the writers continued the character as an invincible man who is coming to grips with his own immortality, it could have been a truly fascinating episode. Instead, it ended with a series of eye-rolls.
