I haven't seen any new episodes yet and this fixation on relationships is already bugging me.

You just described every scripted show on TV. Hollywood is still going through Twilight-mania (insert overdone, contrived relationship/sexual tension melodrama).

I can usually deal with a ship here and there. It is when they start having love triangles, rectangles, octagons, etcetera that things get dicey.

OMFG, it is a complete and utterly hopeless ship-fest! :puke: 
Just kidding - this one is a reset comparable to the trip to 1947.

Actually there is exactly one ship in the episode, and the rightly gave it only a few moments of screen time.
I liked the premiere - it has an "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" vibe that made it really fresh and interesting to watch. Evil Sarah and Evil Andy were a hoot as well. And the reveal at the very end was way cool because it was both set up well but still unexpected. One of those things that after you see it you start to realize it was hinted at in subtle places.

I didn't like it when they "rebooted" the series at the beginning of season 4. I had the exact same dislike during this whole episode except for at the very end. Nice twist, though taking in mind the end of season 4 it was sort of to be expected. They did a good job at keeping it "hidden" though.

Well they seemed to spend some money on the season opener. I mean, they had a big enough cast and enough scenes replete with CGI to make it expensive. They'll no doubt dial that back a bit as the season goes on. As for the "twist" at the end all I'll say is I hope to God they don't stretch that out for the entire season. Talk about a yawn. A couple episodes maybe but not til the very end please.

Indeed I agree with that last part.
I'm sure this a 2 or 3 part opener not a whole season where the characters are all in the Matrix.
I actually liked what they did with the time travel plot. It stirred everything up and also unlike other shows that press the reset button when doing a time travel / changed future story they left everything changed. And it created some funny things - like the early misadventures of Fargo as head of GD. It also allowed some characters to grow in ways they couldn't in the original universe. Examples here include Jo as head of security becoming more of a leader and indeed Fargo over time learning how to effectively run GD.

Well, as Dr Oldspice is supposed to make a return appearance, I'm hoping that's sooner, rather than later.
And I figured that BB was behind all that crap. She needs a long walk out of a very small airlock.

I have hated that character since the first time I laid eyes on her and wished that she had been written out the first time she disappeared from the show. For me, she's turned into some evil fallback badguy over the years.
Meh. Just kill her already, dammit!

Green for you!
I feel the exact same way. She wasn't that interesting as villains go in the first season and I just assumed they wrote her out of the show for that very reason. I absolutely hate it when shows recycle their bad guys when those bad guys aren't that compelling to begin with. Here's hoping they wrap up this story soon and move on to better ones this season.
She never was a true villain as evidenced by their scheme to send Doctor Oldspice back in time. She is simply convinced that Eureka as it is currently is a bad thing and needs to be changed to make its work more available to the outside.
I don't find her that bad. Compared to other villains we had to suffer through in other shows (like Kira on SGU) she is fine. The current plot is actually pretty interesting but should wrap up in the next episode or two. Obviously at some point one of the crew will start to realize they are all in a fake world and/or Jack and Henry will discover the place they are being held. Like I said earlier there actually were some small hints dropped in the episode that the whole world was in some manner false. Some of the behaviors of non-crew characters were a bit "off" (like Alison's daughter, Jack, Jo and Andy).
